BOOTEA

Hey guys,

as promised. This post will be about the detox tea I'm using..
It's called Bootea teatox and you can order it worldwide from here. The Bootea teatox comes in 2 packages. A daytime and nighttime cleanser.
The daytime teabags are for everyday use (as its's a detox of two weeks). You drink this tea every morning before-  (or like me sometimes, because of forgetting about it,  during- ) breakfast.

It tastes just like green tea. And I don't add any kinds of sweeteners to the tea. (no, not even honey ;-) )
The nighttime teabags are for every other day (so you have 7 bags of the nighttime cleanse), starting with day 1. Also this one tastes like green tea. However this one has a little more peppermint taste. Which is not that strong, by the way. I drink the nighttime cleanse right before I go to bed (before brushing my teeth of course haha).

So I actually finished day 3 today. And to be really honest guys, I actually feel kinda bloated?!
It's really weird, cause normally I always have to use the toilet after waking up in the morning. But since I use this tea, I just didn't had the needs.
Here's another point, I've been really ill the last days. (Maybe that also has an effect). So I haven't been able to train for 3 days now..

I promised myself not the step on the scale before I finish the teatox. But I can't wait to see what the scale has to tell me after these 14 days!

I'll keep you guys posted.
In mean time, I will try to get healthy again and get back to training.

Stay fit,

Oh friday..

Hi guys!

Friday is for most people the best day of the week. It's the start of the weekend!
Well for me it's not that exciting unfortunately.

Because I have to work all weekend, and I'm feeling not well.. (don't worry, it's not because of the tea!)

I just have a flu or something like that.

Anyways, I was so scared of drinking the nighttime cleanse. Because of it's so said 'crazy' laxative effect. I didn't even had to go to the toilet!?  Weird, huh!?
So don't worry, it's not that extreme!

Also skipped my daily training yesterday, and still didn't do anything today. I just don't feel like doing it.. (BAD EXCUSE!)
I think I just have to move my ass from my bed, and just do it.
(If I want that summer body...)

Also thinking about posting more pictures here on the blog. Must figure out how to take good quality pictures. Since I don't have a professional camera.

My next post will be about the tea detox I'm using. So keep posted!

DETOX

Hi guys,

I'm back on track! started some kind of a 'challenge' for myself. Just doing some squats and crunches/planks/ leg raises etc.. Just the basic -you can do this at home- training. And every day a little more. It's going pretty well actually. (although I didn't do anything today.. )

But two other great things happened today.
I bought myself a new macbook pro, so from now on I will be posting much more on the blog. Simply because it's so much easier to write something from my bed, instead of sitting behind the desktop pc.

Second of all, you may be wondering. Why on earth is the title 'DETOX' if she's only talking about her new laptop (like we care! )..
Haha sorry! ;)
But here it comes.. I started with the detox tea today! I thought it'd be smarter to start it when I'm back on track instead of taking it from the beginning..
And I'm sooo excited about it!

Will it work for me? Will I get more toned? skinnier?
Is the toilet my next best friend for the upcoming two weeks? (cause it's very laxative)

I don't know!!

But I'll definitely keep you posted!

Take care,

Es

Breakfast

Hey everyone,

In the mornings I'm always really hungry, so breakfast is the most important meal for me. And it shouldn't be only important for me, but for everyone! Because having a good breakfast is a great help to get your metabolism work better. Skipping breakfast is like driving a car with no fuel. (IMPOSSIBLE ;) ) I love to have big breakfasts with lots of lovely food. A breakfast which keeps me full for a couple hours, is a perfect one to me. Since I have to go late to class, I also wake up kinda late. (around 10 o'clock in the morning). I know it's better to wake up early (rise and shine), but I have never been a morning person..
Anyhow, I wanted to share some of my breakfasts. Just so you can see what they look like, and maybe you have good alternatives or suggestions to try next time..?

I usually eat one or two eggs every morning. They are full of protein and you can variate so much with them. I love them boiled, scrambled and cooked! With a little salt and pepper. Jummm
Zero fat yoghurt is also one of my favorites. It fills, it is really low in calories, and you can eat it in so many variations. With fruits, with muesli, with tahinpekmez (that's some turkish healthy syrup). With basically anything.
Earlier I ate like 6 maybe 8 slices of bread a day. Now I reduced that to 2 and max 4 slices. (ofcourse multigrain bread!)

Enough talky talky, here are some pics!

Learn to love your breakfast!

How is it going?

Hi everyone!

Today is the third day of my clean-eating challenge. I haven't cheated at all (until now), so that feels great! I drink lots of water, like a minimum of 2L a day! Water is a big help to drop weight. Your body needs water to function. And drinking water will help fuel your body's fat burning processes.  I don't drink any other drinks except for water and green tea (with no sugar).
When I have cravings, I just take a tablespoon of peanut-butter (100 cal per tablespoon). It tastes great plus it helps prevent belly bloating. Further I snack on apples and carrots, they are super healthy, low in calories and fulfill my need for something sweet.
Don't forget to eat enough proteins (peanut butter contains proteins), I prefer to eat scrambled eggs. One of my favorite meals is scrambled eggs with half a pack noodles. So jummy!

Unfortunately my toes are injured so I can't go to the gym (it's been a week now). It's so horrible, because I feel like all I trained for is now disappearing. And that I have to start with baby steps again.
I really hope that it will be cured as soon as possible!

Love your body,

xoxo Es

A fresh start!

Hello everyone!

When I was younger I could eat what I want without gaining any weight. I seriously had the baddest diet ever. Drank half a bottle coke, ate a whole bag of chips and tons of chocolate. Every freaking day (!!)  But now I'm not a little girl anymore, and the things I eat have their consequences. I actually gain weight, and believe me losing that weight is so much harder than gaining it.
So a while ago I decided that I wanted to live a healthier lifestyle.I wanted to get fit. So I started going to the gym. But why work so hard in the gym, just to waste it on a bad diet? That's why I started this blog. Because I want to eat clean (and train mean! ;-) ) and live a healthy lifestyle.
From tomorrow on I'm starting to eat clean to the fullest! No snacks, no chocolate, no chips, no sweets. Just fruits, vegetables, oats, milk, yoghurt, soups, chicken, fish.

In the upcoming posts I will keep you guys updated about my experiences with this new lifestyle. I will post about my workouts, my food tips and a lot more!

Till then,
keep believing in yourself!
