Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yesterday I slept almost all day after work. I was so tired when I got home at 11, so when I went to bed around 12 I slept until 19-20, ate "dinner", and then I fell asleep again! I woke up a couple of times in the middle of the night, but I managed to stay in bed until the clock turned 05 :) 

Today I had a day off, so I figured I should try to be a little housewife, and started to bake in the early hours :p The baking had to be accompanied by some Christmas movies, so I fetched my computer and turned on netflix, what a perfect morning!

Mmm, I love chocolate chip cookies!

Date night

Yesterday was date night for me and my boyfriend :) Even though we live together we don't get much time to enjoy each others company, and every-day-practical-life often takes over - leaving romance out in the cold. That's why we sometimes have to make an effort; dress up and bring romance back.

I love this dress from BikBok - so comfy, simple and pretty at the same time. 

( - of course my new slippers had to be a part of date night, haha cozy slippers, cozy night)

Candles to set the mood (and to heat up this cooold apartment). 

Since I'm the one who (almost) always cooks, my boyfriend was saturdays chef. The food was SO good :)

My boyfriend serving the potatoes :) - oh, haha don't pay attention to the toy shovel! (we don't have a proper tool, so we just use this whenever we eat lasagne etc..)

It was a perfect night, cheers to romance and I hope your saturday was just as good!

New beginnings

My last workout was five weeks ago. There, I said it. 

I dont have any excuses. Sure, I've had the classic cold, worked a little more than usual in addition to studying, but that doesn't mean that I should drop my entire workout routine?! ..and if that wasn't enough I started to eat a lot of junk as well. (hello candy, pizza, fries in the middle of the week - all week). It was plain stupid. 

Now I have to start from scratch, again. But this time I'm serious. I'm starting this week with a soup and veggies/fruit-diet/detox! Yesterday I made a vegetable soup and the plan is to just eat this - in addition to veggies and fruit - for five days. I want to start over with a cleanse, and this is my way to do it. (and its going to be tough...its only five days, but that's a long time when you're used to junk and a lot of carbs!)

Today is also the day I start over on my workout program, no point at picking up where I left off five weeks ago..this week is a fresh start. Well, there I said it. Its more serious when you tell someone, so I'm telling you, whoever you are that's reading this - I'm starting fresh. 

Oh, and just so you know, I haven't got any plans of becoming thin or not eat regularly. That's not how I'm built, and I'm waaaay to much in love with food. My goal is to become fit, strong and proud. 

- and also, better in English. Since I lived in New York four months in 2010 I haven't talked or written particularly much, and I've noticed that when I first do write or talk it takes me a while to formulate sentences etc. So i thought why not use this blog to improve? 

Well, that was a lot of new beginnings, I guess its not a coincidence that I'm in the middle of studying for my exams..(procrastinating..what else can I do today..hah)! Anyways, I really hope that by writing this it means that I'm ready for changes, and doesn't just quit after a couple of weeks.. Lets do this! 

Vegetable soup in the making!

I just ate it for breakfast and it was so delicious and tasty! :D
