Mediterranean Steps

Today I'm having a rest day from the gym. Since it's such glorious weather me and Rob decided to take on the Med Steps. Such a beautiful walk it was. 
Hope you enjoy the photos!

Idag har jag vilodag från gymmet. Eftersom det är riktigt fint väder bestämde jag och Rob oss för att ta oss an Med Steps. Vilken vacker hike det var.
Hoppas ni gillar fotona!

Chicken Nuggets goes healthy

I made something delicious for dinner the other day. They are kind of similar to chicken nuggets without being buried in flour and nastyness. 
These nuggets are healthy and super tasty!

To make enough for 2 plus lunchbox you need -

1-2 chicken fillets depending on size
1 egg
Sesame seeds
Desiccated coconut
Salt
Pepper

Start with whipping up your egg so the yolk gets mixed with the white. Pour it in to a plate and on another plate put your sesame seeds, coconut, salt and pepper. Slice your chicken in to nugget sized pieces. Heath up a frying/griddle pan and add some coconut oil. Dip your chicken pieces first in the egg then roll it around in the sesame mix so it get's covered. Put in to pan and brown them. Place in oven form and put in oven until cooked through. 
Serve with oven roasted aubergine, peppers, red onion and carrots.

Simples ;) 


 

Happy Friday

3 days off work. Banana pancakes for breakfast. Glorious sunshine.
Filled with energy I'm bouncing to the gym!

Cardio sesh

I went to the gym straight away when I woke up this morning. There is no better start to the day than a sweaty workout. 
I did a cardio circle session that consisted of the following:
  • 30 min treadmill (10 min walking warm up, 20 min running)
  • Push Up's, Crunches, Mountain Climbers, Hip Lifts, Side jumps over step bench
  • 50 sec/exercise with 10 sec rest in between. 2 rounds 1 min rest in between
  •  Same circle for 20 sec/exercise for 3 rounds with no rest
  • 12 lunges with twist/leg x 3 with 5 kg plate
  • 15 min stretch

Idag stack jag till gymmet direkt när jag vaknade. Bästa sättet att börja dagen på är med ett svettigt träningspass. Jag körde ett cardio circle pass som bestod utan följande:
  • 30 min löpbandet (10 min uppvärmning, 20 min spring)
  • Push Up's, Crunches, Mountain Climbers, Hip Lifts, Sidohopp över stepbänk
  • 50 sek/övning 10 sek vila mellan. 2 rundor med 1 min vila mellan
  • Samma circle 20 sek/övning 3 rundor utan vila
  •  12 utfall med twist/ben x 3 med 5 kg viktplatta
  • 15 min stretch

Get organized & make time

I suffer slightly from OCD. I have to be organized, it keeps me calm. It's to the extend that I actually decide what to wear for the next day the night before, put the clothes out and pack my gym bag and decide on what to have for breakfast.

I'm no different when it comes to working out. I plan the week AHEAD. If I'm training in the morning I will have decided what I'm doing the night before and written it down in my phone. If I'm training in the afternoon/evening I will decide on it during the day. That way I won't get to the gym not knowing what I'm doing and end up with an half-ass workout (pardon my french). If you think you don't have the time for working out. Think again and start planning I swear it does work!


Jag lider lite lätt utav OCD. Jag måste vara organiserad det gör mig lugn. B.la brukar jag bestämma kvällen innan vad jag ska ha på mig nästa dag och lägga ut kläderna på min byrå, packa gymväskan och bestämma vad jag ska äta till frukost.

Det är ingen skillnad när det kommer till min träning. Jag planerar veckan i FÖRVÄG! Ska jag träna på morgonen bestämmer jag redan kvällen innan vad jag ska träna och skriver ner det i min telefon. Tränar jag på eftermiddagen/kvällen gör jag det under dagen, samma dag. På så sätt kommer jag inte till gymmet utan en plan och kör ett halvkasst pass och får resultat därefter. Om du tror att du inte har tid för att träna, börja planera! 
Jag lovar det fungerar verkligen!
