I need a ho-li-day

Awwww, Im so tired :s
Last night was a late night as we went to the gym till 9. Then by the time we get home, have dinner, get my lunch ready for today, write my blog...well, I went to bed quite late and this morning, I overslept....nooooo! Ok, it wasnt that bad (20 mins) but in the morning, that means a lot.
Anyway, I got to work on time so it was fine.
So, let's have a look at my food for today.
No need to tell you what I had for breakie and AM break -> same as usual :-(
Lunch was another salad: lettuce, onion, sweetcorn and beetroot. I also had a mini babybel light and a crunchy apple.


Dinner tonight was: a tuna salad: tuna, sweetcorn, rice and a bit of mayo.


For pudding I had some yogurt with apple sauce and a drizzle of agave.


Workout for today:
Zumba class...OMG it was so hot in the studio. I think Ive never sweated so much. My whole body was sweating -gross- but to be honest, I quite like it when Im all sweatty...means ive worked hard -gross again haha-

After my class, as boyfriend wanted to go to the sauna, steam, jacuzzi, I did some weight. I worked my arms and did a tiny bit of legs.

I feel really tired now. Just want to go to bed...but ive just bought 2 magazines so I think im gonna have a look at them before going to sleep.


Cant stay long tho as im planning another early morning workout tomorrow...well hopefully ;~)

Oh, I forgot...the other day we booked our flight to France...25 days and it's holiday!!!!!
And it's gonna be really special as boyfriend's parents are coming to stay at my parents for 2 days. They're gonna meet for the 1st time...oh dear, im a bit stressed (especially as they dont speak the same language haha).
Question of the day: what is your favourite fitness magazine?

Sweepstake - Cheesecake

Quick blog tonight as I want/need to go to bed asap.
Nothing really special today...still the same.

Breakie: All bran + milk ; glass of fruit juice
AM break: banana
Lunch: sandwich filled with lettuce, chicken and tomato sauce + carrot sticks + yogurt
PM break: a part of cheesecake*
Dinner: omelette (2 eggs) and pasta + strawberries.

Workout: Zumba class.

*lets come back on the "cheesecake case":

At work, we are mainly foreign people (I work for a market research company that covers all of Europe. No need to say that im in charge of the French market). Anyway, with all this World Cup thing going on, the boss's decided to organise a sweeptstake.
Basically, we bought some tickets (I picked Mexico and South Korea) and if your team goes on 1/4 finale, 1/2 finale...you get some time off (from 2 hours to a day 1/2...cool hein?)
If your home country wins a game, you need to bring some food from your country.
Still following??? Not sure it still makes sense as im tired and getting a bit confused :s

Anyway, Germany won the other day so one of the German girl brought a homemade german cheesecake.
To be honest, I didnt enjoy it. Eventhough the texture was like mousse, it was still really heavy and all the afternoon, I felt really fat :s

If France keeps playing as they did the other day, I dont need to worry about what to bring (haha) but if they win, Im not even sure what to bring :s
A friend suggested a cheese platter with baguette...sounds quite good.

What do you think??? What is your idea of a typical French snack????

A good day !?!

Im worn out! Just got back from the gym. As every tuesday, it was Zumba day!
I love it. Ive been doing it since february and really enjoy it. My instructor is really fun!
Today though, she wasn't there so we had someone taking over her and it was exhausting!!!!!
Even after the 1st track (which is actually the warm up) I was already all sweatty :-s
I really enjoyed it. I think it's good to change the instructor from time to time as we then dont get stuck in a routine.

So, done for my exercise part of the day. Now, let's have a look at what Ive been eating...
Breakie: the usual yellow pot of All bran + milk and an orange.
AM break: a banana
Lunch, Same as yesterday: roll + lettuce + chicken + a tiny bit of mayo. Yogurt and kiwi + grapes to finish my lunch off.
When I got back from work, I had 2 slices of "pain d'epices". Love it. It reminds me of when I was at primary school as that's what my mum gave us (my sister and I) for break. That and a mini babybel haha.
Pain d'epice is a mix of bread and cake and it's got cinamon in it.
Here is a picture of it


After the gym, I was actually too lazy to cook for myself (boyfriend had his dinner before the gym) so I went back to my "French Box" (that's where I keep all my nice stuff from France) and got this tin of macquerel...awwww, love that too.

So I had that and for "pudding", a slice of toast with peanut butter and a sliced banana.



Ive been quite good today...I think...Havent I?????

Oh, also, I wanted to say a special Thank You to Jo, from Thirty and Healthy for reading my blog and be the 1st one to leave me a comment!

The day had started so well...

Today's breakfast was like every week day: a bowl of All Bran (the yellow pot from Rosemary Conley) + whole milk.
Instead of my fruit juice, I had a nice orange...was yummy!

AM break was a banana as usual.

Lunch, a wrap with inside some chicken tikka (from Morisson. Lovely and not too much fat in it) and some of the big box of salsa I made yesterday.
The box is big enough to go to the end of the week ;-)

Then, I had a yogurt and a small red apple.

PM break, I snacked of some fruits: Kiwi + Grapes, which I sprinled with some seeds.

So far, my day's been quite good...right?

Then, I got home and got ready for my Zumba class. I love it. It's really fun and Im telling you, I burn an amazing amount of calories!

After the class, I walked back home (about 15 mins) and now, that's where all my good efforts were vanished :-(
was starving and it was late (yeah yeah, give me some more excuses...) so I had a bowl of pasta bolognese and as a "pudding" if I can call it like that, I had the rest of my baguette with 3...yes 3 little bars of Kinder chocolate. Didnt even take a pic of my "pudding" as I was too ashamed :-(
