Snapshots: Running, green stuff + dressing up
About time for a new update of my life in snapshots? I thought so! Warning: prepare for lots of healthy foods! Although, this doesn’t summarize my “diet” accurately enough – it’s merely a reflection of my healthiest choices the past weeks. I’m not saying that anything I don’t take pictures of is unhealthy, just know that I don’t always eat perfectly healthy! I’m human, after all ;)
- Working on my report about my internship in the library; this was my healthy snack box I brought ;)
- I’ve started running! I’m taking a six-week course and at the end I’ll (hopefully) be able to run for at least 20 minutes straight. You can read about my first experience at Just Keep Running, by the way!
- EkoPlaza, my favorite “health store” in the city. All really great healthy, biological, organic products! Too bad it’s a little expensive, so I don’t go there often. Makes going there a treat, though!
- Working out those legs… and taking some much needed rest after ;)
- Polkadotted nails, I love it!
- Playing dress-up ;) I have actually never worn this dress anywhere since I bought it, it’s a shame! Oh, and those are my absolute favorite high-heeled shoes, they’re the only ones I can actually walk, stand and even dance on for more than five minutes ;)
- I’m really into working out, can you tell? This was after I had been sick a few days, so I was proud to have completed 45 minutes :)
- The famous green pancakes! Recipe is here.
- My awesome running shoes!
- Very, very good lunch… toasted spelt bread with goat’s cheese, walnuts and honey.
- If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that I love eating oatmeal for breakfast. Preferably with a different fruit topping every day. Oh, and never without a side of green tea and fresh orange juice!
- One of my fave toppings: blueberries and coconut.
- Inspired by fellow blogger Sharon, I decided to start with Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred. You do a 30-minute workout every day for 30 days – there are three levels, you do each one for 10 days. So far, I love it!
- Wearing my glittery black blazer for a meeting at school. Should wear this more often!
- Working out, working out, working out ;) And rewarding myself with a green smoothie after is always a good idea! This was spinach, almond milk and frozen blueberries, I sweetened it with some stevia. Man, this smoothie was good.
- Pumpkin seed + cheese bread. Love love love it!
- My first “Throwback Thursday” picture I posted on Instagram; this was back in 2009, when I had blonde hair. Opinions differ about my hair color… I say blonde looks good, but will never look better than my natural hair color! Which is dark brown, if you didn’t know yet ;)
- After my first Start to Run meeting! It was raining and kind of cold, but that didn’t stop me from loving it! Feels good to be active.
- Outfit & look of the day.
- Made some healthy brownies. Will be posting the recipe on the blog soon!
- Breakfast: oatmeal with lots of fruit (mango & cranberries) and coconut.
- Post-workout lunch: eggs with spinach. I spy a new favorite!
- Spent time on the couch reading Cloud Atlas yesterday, finished reading it this morning. Wow, it was such an amazing book. Mindblowing! Complicated at times, but a super interesting, exciting and perfectly composed book. Must read! I think I will write a review about it to post on here :)
- Finished my 30 Day Shred workout and made some delicious savory scrambled eggs with spinach and tomato. Oh so good & very filling.
Love the nails and your dress!
Dat jurkje met die hakken staat je goed zeg! Je hebt een prachtig figuur. Ik ben benieuwd naar het recept van de brownies :)
Leuk zo’n overzichtje :) Je nagels zijn heel heel mooi! En Ekoplaza is inderdaad fijn (maar beetje duur) :)
De magic bullet!!!! I love that thing, can’t live without it anymore!
Those green pancakes totally look intriguing :D
Goed bezig! Leuke food foto’s!
Leuke foto´s!
Yummeh al dat eten, lekker. Al moet ik nog wel wennen aan de groene pancakes haha.
Je polkadots nagels zijn cutie!
Ik ben erg benieuwd naar Cloud Atlas… :)
Leuke foto’s! Ik ben door jou vandaag begonnen met de eerste dag van 30 day shred. Ik vond level 1 best wel meevallen! Ben van plan er zeker mee door te gaan :)
leuk logje en leuke foto’s
Leuk je nagels! En dat jurkje is ook ontzettend gaaf zeg.
Ik ben stiekem wel jaloers op jou lijf als ik de foto’s weer zie. :D
Ik wilde ook dolgraag meedoen met Start to Run. Helaas wist ik al dat ik van de zes keer twee keer zou moeten missen vanwege een weekendje weg. Wel jammer :(.
Wat ben je toch geweldig goed bezig Alyssa! Ik geniet er echt van om je te zien groeien in je conditie en je liefde voor sport! ^-^ Hartstikke leuk – en dat zegt een a sportieveling hé?
Cloud Atlas gaat op mijn reading list! Ben ook benieuwd naar 30 days shred. Is het ook goed te combineren met het lopen?
Wat goed dat je zo gezond bezig bent zeg, je motiveert mij (:
Veel plezier met Start to Run!! Ik heb dat anderhalf jaar geleden ook gedaan en heb inmiddels een halve marathon gelopen :D
Leuk overzichtje!
Super leuke foto’s weer. Je motiveert me!
Hi,
Ik ben Sheena Dokkuma.
Ik ben al tijden bezig met het Cambridge Dieet.
Ik vind het redelijk vol te houden.
Toch wel leuk om te zien dat er zoveel dieten bestaan maar dat ze toch
zoveel overeenkomsten hebben.
Bedankt voor dit leuke artikel
