I almost forgot about my promise to post every Wednesday and Sunday menu here. And I almost forgot it was Wednesday. But here it is
Breakfast: bun with strawberry jam
10:00 (after spinning class and biking to school): muesli bar, apple, ricecake with cheese (a so fatty one, that it tastes disgusting and you can smell it as well :(, that's the only one we have at school :/ )
Lunch (for lazy poor people who rather sleep than cook): carrots and celery
14:00: ryebread and tomato
Dinner: vegetable soup, tomato, mozzarella, homemade pesto, crisp bread
21:00 (after workout): meal replacement drink with protein and carbs, 200kcal per serving.
..and once again, I've been eating too much protein - it keeps on happening ever since March started, it never happened before, although the main source of protein in one's diet is meat :/
I guess it's good that I forgot that I should post it, because I'm sure I would have made more effort eating if I'd known I have to publish it :D.
As well it's notable that I had that meal replacement drink. I usually never have them, because it seems kind of stupid to sweat for an hour doing resistance training, barely burning 400kcal and then drinking about 200kcal of it back right after you've done. But I guess I have learned something in school (body needs the protein and carbohydrates after workout to rebuild muscles and restore energy) and I was oh so tired and figured my body will love it. I did (it was strawberry flavored :):)). I guess earlier I never cared of my body/muscles/energy and just wanted to be skinny. (Im glad to have a brain now)
It started snowing today.
I was biking the whole day and it was such a bad weather so I got all tired. Then in the evening I went to a Stram-op class and got even more tired. But it's that nice tiredness when you're almost proud to feel it :D.
So it was sooo nice to relax in the sauna and steam sauna and bubble bath (I do not know how to spell the other word :D)). BUT it is almost impossible when it's a gym and men and women's sauna is the same. In the steam sauna I tried to solve the problem by being Nastja from Russia and not speaking any languages, but it got really annoying so I went to the bubble bath where three black about 15-year-old jalllla-walla-(=arab)guys were sitting and managed to spend about 5 minutes. I was so proud of myself, as it was so crazy/scary/wanna-laugh thing when all them little black legs and hands start appearing between the bubbles and touching you under water, coming closer and closer and the dudes keep having the same really neutral face pa :D. So I left and came home. And now im in my bed, ready to go to sleep and just caught myself thinking ' Oh I cannot be bothered participating in tomorrow', because that's just how I feel - would like to make tomorrow happen without me and be back existing on Friday.
I think I'm gonna eat tatar( Sorry, its Estonian, the name) tomorrow to motivate me because it is my most favorite favorite food and if that won't do the job then nothing won't. Or maybe horse-riding could as well, but tatar is more in accordance with my budget :D.
There's so much more I've been wanting to write, but right now I wanna sleep. I promise to do it asap though :).
Good night.
xoxo

Sunday #1
Huuuuh. I got so awfully upset just now. Was trying to change my profile photo, but ended up deleting it and not being able to replace it. Girls.
But the March has so far been amazing! :) On the first two days I got kind of annoyed when I bought a pasta salad and then realized it has ham in it and when I made a machine sandwich (I guess its a French toast with ham and cheese) and had to give it away, but now Im getting more and more into it, and feel really good. It seems exciting and interesting and so far I've had no cravings for meat/alcohol/cigarettes. I think it's because I have already decided that I'm going to do it until April and therefore my mind don't see the point in thinking about it over and over again as the decision has already been made. And I wasn't actually expecting it but it is really nice.
The main change in my diet has been kind of weird - I consume too much protein every day. I guess that's because I've been researching and thinking about it so much and was afraid to get low in it that now I end up overdoing it. The same goes for B12.
My social life - is actually still fine as well even though March has been lasting from Thursday til Sunday. I didnt feel as if going out this weekend - maybe next one, but I didnt want to be with my friends (who I really like and appreciate) if their drinking, smoking and eating junk as it usually is on weekends. But then on Saturday I was invited to go and see a live football mach, that was really fun especially that it's warmer now and you dont have to freze while watching it as before. And today went to the pool and sauna with my new cool roommate Laura. It was so so nice :).
As well it's weird that weekend actually seems shorter if you dont go out and stay in all evenings. But I am so rested and probably more intelligent as I have watched 3 movies (Valentine's Day; Blood and Chocolate and Ghandi and if not all, then at least last two of them are really really interesting) and as well I borrowed loads of books on friday and am now reading the coolest book about Vietnam war and another one about little black dresses and a third one in Danish.
The exercising week has been really cool too. A fitness center had this campaign that try two weeks for free, so I've been participating in different classes, worked out on my own and as the sun is shining almost aaaal the time then went running as well :).
Tomorrow I'm gonna spend my day in the gym practicing for my work placement. And until Thursday I can use the fitness center as well. But I have no plans yet.
I guess that's about it. And as promised my today's menu cause it is a Sunday:
Breakfast (oh so late): omelet with broccoli and tomato, cucumber, celery salad. Natural yogurt, mustard, crisp bread, coffee.
2 pm: puree soup with almonds; ciabatta, milk; fresh pineapple
5pm: 1/2 grapefruit, pineapple
6pm: worlds best salad (number 21 here :)) ryebread
8pm: toast with tomato
That's it :). But now I'm gonna read a book and eat some candy I think :).
Have a nice week :)

Easy like Sunday morning :)
It's such a nice day - no wind, no clouds, just sun and Sunday (it's probably not a coincidence they sound the same)
It's one a clock in the afternoon and there's absolutely NOTHING I have to do today :).
The baby shower yesterday was really really cool :). I was a bit surprised as it wasnt just us girls and the mom and the baby in their home as I expected, it was a proper party instead :D. With oh so many sweets and snacks that afterwords I felt kind of sick and decided to go on a bike ride. I have been biking SO much this week. Then this morning woke up at 9:40 and went for a long run to and at and back from the beach. 'i was wearing a T-shirt and a random hoody and was so warm, amazing :). After that decided to well-spend my last money and went to a bakery, then had a shower and breakfast (buns with boiled eggs and jam :)), got dressed and now can just enjoy myself the entire day. I dont have anything I need to do and to be honest. I dont feel like doing anything either.
The week has been good. Sportswise and schoolwise and..just good :). And now I have three more days before starting my whole new month.
I got a new cool idea from Heidi-s blog (which is here for those who read Estonian: http://heidi.tarkpea.ee/) to write down my menu every week. I thought I'm gonna do it every Wednesday but as I always always have trouble with my Sunday menu, I'm gonna start posting it twice. On Wednesdays and Sundays :).
The coolest thing I've been doing lately is this little attempt to get a regular male student who's 22 and has a job and now time and beer-drinking-smoking friends, to eat as healthily as possible. So I've been calculating his energy needs, using all of my best creativity to find as many healthy-goodtastyng-easytomake-and transportable meals as possible. Plus as he is so physically active and needs to eat a lot, the challenge is also to make it all as cheap as possible. It's been taking some time and research and thinking, but now the plans are finally ready and we went grocery shoping together yesterday. So now all we can do is see how it goes, hope for the best and prepare for the worse :).
What I've been doing for myself is a list with 31 good vegetarian meals, so I could make something good for myself every single day of March if I want. I'll post it as soon as it's done :).
I haven't decided about next week's training plans yet, cause it's gonna be a really busy week, but I can post the crazy numbers from my watch for this ending week:
Total duration: 20:31:52
calories: 6883kcal
but I've gotta admit - I cheated a bit as well as I counted almost all my longer bikerides f ex to uni and downtown and so on that I usually never do.
Biking average of the week: 29km/day
I only have one word for that: DENMARK :D.
Okay. I guess that's it. Im gonna go and ask my neighbors if they wanna come and play some football outside. And I dont think the answer could ever be no as they're boys. :D.
Have a nice Sunday and enjoy yourselves :)
