Fitness Food And Style Photo A Day Challenge Day 7. Salad

Hello my beautiful people. Today I thought it was Wednesday. I have been so ahead of myself for some reason, so much going on.

I need to write them all down. However I turn to you here. How are you?

I have been really slack, I need to lift my game. I have been eating chocolate nearly EVERY DAY!!! Waaaaa? I hear you say. Yes. Cho-ko-lade (pronounced shhhh-oko-lard). Did I mention ice cream as well. Yes. Ice-cream as well. BAD. Very bad, in fact I am so addicted I wanted some tonight but it's all gone. PHEW!!! Otherwise I'd be smashing another block of cadbury creations. Here's the deal, you buy it and have it in your pantry, you will eat it. Don't buy it and you won't. That's how I roll anyway. So I have to stop. Tonight. NOW!

Day 7. Salad

I am loving our #ffsphotoaday challenge and all the pictures in the gallery. I updated yesterdays Day 6.

Quinoa vegetable salad with salmon

I experimented tonight as I typically make a big batch of quinoa so we have it for our breakfast and savoury meals. So once we grilled the salmon, I simply cooked the quinoa in chicken stock and with all the pan juices from the salmon, I mixed that with the quinoa. Added some lemon juice and then added the garlic sautéed broccoli and carrots in the mix and Mmmmmm.....tasty!!!!

Super quick meal, as the quinoa takes 15 minutes to cook and that's how long the vegetables were sautéing and fish was done on the barby.

Fitness

Healthy Living with Fitness Food And Style 

Even though I run around like a headless chook with my little peeps, I feel like I am working out constantly. This isn't a workout. I really have dropped the ball these last few days and haven't really done a proper workout, nor have I been eating properly (mainly over indulging in chocolate and ice creams). Seriously, it doesn't take much time. I only workout 15 minutes per day but my days are just flying. I need to start allocating "me" time again.

It's funny. I think it's harder to maintain your body when you have reached your goal. In fact you start seeing those flaws appear or rather the cadbury chocolate layer. I can't stress how important consistency is. It's the key of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Okay.

A new mini challenge has to begin. That's what I am all about right? Challenges. So from this day I QUIT SUGAR!!! Well added sugar. Like our challenge a couple of months ago. 

Who's with me, lets do it for 5 days.

Fitness Food And Style Photo A Day Challenge - Day 5. Smoothie

Today I posted my tummy shot on my social media pages. This was my tummy "before and after" baby number 2. I was 30kgs over weight, depressed and uncomfortable that I couldn't fit into my skinny jeans and always asking Adrian if my bum looked big. So I stumbled upon Fit Yummy Mummy and 6 years later, it's been the 15 minute workout per day that keeps me fit and healthy.

A relatively cruisey day today. We have so many house reno's started but none are completed. From the kids play room, to the outside skate park and the list goes on. We are working through them slowly every weekend. I look forward to the day when we can style our home and actually place pictures up on our wall. We haven't even painted yet and it's nearly our 4th year in this home, how time flies. Too busy looking after 4 kids will do this to you :-)

Food

We had a beautiful waffle smell roam the house for breakfast this morning. It smelt amazing and it's a quicker breakfast when I am short for time as my crepes take that little bit longer. For my crepe recipe go here.


Breakfast - Blueberry waffles

Fitness Food And Style Photo A Day Challenge - Day 4. Bag

What a sensational day we had!!! Noah had his soccer grand final and finally ;-) they won after being runners up 3 years in a row! 


Congratulations Noah and the Mercedes team!!!

Grand Final winners are grinners

So super proud of him and his team mates, they have really improved on their ball skills and Noah in my eyes was the man of the match! What a typical mother thing to say. Having said that I would be the honest type and tell you if he was a bit of a klutz so promise, he's really REALLY good.


Day 4. bag

For those that are visiting for the first time, this months challenge is all about a photo a day that has a word as a prompt so check it out here.

Louis Vuitton croissant handbag 

NB: I have also updated my fantastic four pictures from yesterday here.


This was my 30th birthday present to myself when I was in Greece 9 years ago. It has always been a girly thing to own an original Louis Vuitton bag. This particular bag shape is called a croissant which is now discontinued. Our girls will have fun sharing this bag together and it will also fall in the vintage category.

Here's my fantastic four pics;

Day 2 - Fridge

GE General Electric water, ice and best refrigerator invention. 

Here's some cool facts on water........



1) H2O is the chemical symbol for water. Each molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen (H) joined to a single atom of oxygen (O).

2) As a resource, water is renewable and made available at all times through solar energy, enabling it to evaporate from oceans and land, before redistributing it around the world.

3) Water is the ONLY substance found naturally on Earth in three forms: liquid, gas and solid. Frozen water is 9% lighter than its liquid form and hence, ice floats on water.

4) Morethan 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. Of this water, 97% is in oceans, which makes it salty and undrinkable. The remaining 3% is freshwater. Only 0.3% is found in rivers and lakes. The rest is frozen.

5) The three largest water uses are for: agriculture (67%), industry (19%) and municipal/residential (9%).

6) Over 100 years, a water molecule would have spent some 98 years in the ocean, 20 months as ice, about 2 weeks in lakes and rivers, and less than a week in the atmosphere.

7) The rivers in Asia are the most polluted in the world, containing three times as many human waste bacteria than the global average, and 20 times more lead than rivers in industrialised countries.

8) Two-thirds of the human body is water. Human bones are 25% water.

9) Humans can go a month without food but will die after one week without water.

10) Water leaves the human body five minutes after consumption, when you breathe out water vapour, perspire, or go for a leak.

11) The World Health Organisation estimates that a person needs 19 litres of water to meet his daily needs including drinking, showering and cleaning.

12) Water makes up 75% of the average chicken, and 80% of an elephant.

13) On average, frontloading washing machines use 80 litres, and top loading machines use 170 litres of water per wash.

14) Washing a mug under a running tap uses about a litre of water.

15) About nine litres of water is used to flush the toilet. You will save about four litres if you use a half-flush.

16) To produce a fast-food lunch of a hamburger, french fries and a soft drink, about 6800 litres of water is needed. The water is for growing the spuds, the grain for the bun and cattle feed, as well as for producing the drink.

17) According to the UK Environment Agency, one drip per second wastes 1200 litres of water in a year. That's around three litres per day or 90 litres if the drip breaks into a stream.

18) Water can tell you how fresh an egg is. A good egg sinks and a stale one won't.

19) An elephant's trunk can hold 11 litres of water.

20) A full-grown tree that is around 20m high with 600,000 leaves and a tree top diameter of 12 m will produce about 400 litres of water in evaporation a day.
