LET'S NOT CALL IT A DIET! | DAY #4.

HEY DOLLS!

UPDATE 4.

I almost didn't post this today

but I did and here goes what I ate.

Here goes my favourite breakfast,

I used to have this everyday when I was in my first trimester of pregnancy,

It was the only thing I would hold in.

It's a boiled egg, and three slices of sandwich with tomato spread(literally - I spread the tomato)

, salt, pepper and oil. And this really makes me feel full throughout the day.

In fact..

I only got hungry around 4pm-ish, and made some pasta with mushroom sauce.

Didn't like it all that much to be honest so I'm going to spare the details.

Then in the evening I wasn't that hungry but I felt like toast with butter and I had just that.

And that's it.

A glass of orange juice and lots of water!

I actually did some 60 squats today.

and that explains why I feel so sore today LOL.


PS. Because I feel like someone WILL comment about it.
I wasn't starving myself,
I was busy saving up back up for files
and with Aicha and all that,
so that's why I didn't eat all that much,
plus that breakfast truly did make me feel full for a long time.
Oh and I got up late as well. So that breakfast happened around midday.

ANYWHO - that concludes it,

and stay tuned for DAY 5!

LET'S NOT CALL IT A DIET! | DAY #3.

HEY DOLLS!

DAY 3!

#ohyeah...

OK so I started off the day with an egg toast.

I messed up the egg so ended up putting it in the toast LOL.

Oh and juice of course.

BTW. I want to try coconut water. I tried looking for it the other day at the supermarket but the staff didn't even know about it.

I heard PAVI stocks it.

Have you tried it? Does it taste like coconut?

Or what - so curious!

Like the day before -

I had this tuna bread whatever with tomatoes - what you see x2

- cos I cook them separately so they stay nice and hot.

In the evening I had a salad. It had lettuce, red lettuce, tomatoes, green olives,

benna mozzarella and 3 chicken skewer things.

For dressing - I use balsamic vinegar, olive oil,

fresh black pepper and salt.

Love it!

And I kind of got hungry in the evening - like an hour later,

so - and I was debating about having this,

but I had cookies and milk. The milk part is healthy obviously,

and the cookies are like 50 kcal per cookie -

and even though it's a lot,

they well WORTH IT.

HAHA.

I deserved a treat, no?

As far as drinks,

just water, a glass of orange juice and half a glass of milk.

Tomorrow I'm starting posting about exercise-

 So stay tuned for that !

BTW - Aicha is eating a whole peach everyday.

Such a proud mama I am!

LET'S NOT CALL IT A DIET! | DAY #2.

HEY DOLLS!

Ok so - so far so good.

Day ONE went well,

but I realised I needed to amp my calories a bit and needed to

focus more on carbohydrates

because I was still hungry

and if the concept of

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

was true - in the literal sense,

I had just become a vegetable.

SO here's how DAY #2 went..

Started off with some toast + butter.

And as I'm typing I just realised I've become that crazy person to photograph everything I eat

just so I can share it. LOL. Not cool.

I got up early, so before lunch time I got hungry and had some Weetabix too.

With semi-skimmed milk.

And no sugar, I don't really like to put sugars in my cereals.

Unless it's sugar puffs and that has  loads of sugar in it

- then I LOVE sugar.

and whilst this may look gross to some of you, and I don't blame you for thinking that.

It's just a mix of veggies (cabbage, potatoes, carrots, green beans, broccoli and califlower)

and eggs. I kind of fried them, but without oil.

So whatever that process is called, I did that.



Okay so I was still hungry, after that egg-veggie thing.
I mean not immediately hungry,
but after an hour
I felt so weak and hungry,
I guess the lack of carbohydrates were getting to me.
And since it was still early in the day I needed my energy up.
So I did this thing that my awesome mum-in-law used to cook for me when
I was pregnant (She cooked loads of stuff but this one was one of my favourites).
It's basically bread cut in half 
with tuna, tomatoes, mozzarella and I threw on some mint on top and black olives.
It's lovely and really quick and easy to do.
So I had what you saw in the picture times two.

For dinner I made some roast potatoes (threw in some spray oil or whatever you call that)

with BACON! and if you know me, you have to know I LOVE BACON.

I put it in pretty much everything and I go through some 5 packs per week.

Oh and the meat is pork medallion.

I cooked that with some garlic and some spray oil.

I didn't really have the sauce btw.

I did that so my plate looks prett-ay :D.

Oh oh oh and this is my favourite part. MICROWAVABLE POPCORN.

I'm loving the butter flavoured one.

It tastes soooo good when it's still warm!

I had like 1/3 of the bag.

But don't judge me, okay.

I DESERVED IT!

Oh and here I threw in a photo of my orange juice.

Becasuse I'm a gangster like that.

Okay, okay - I did that just so I remember to tell you guys what I've been drinking.

I drink lots of water (ALWAYS) but I

sometimes drink ice tea peach,

and that has lots of calories in it,

so I'm no longer drinking that.

Throughout these past two days I literally had half a glass of diet sprite

but that's about it.

Oh and of course the juice.

I have a glass of orange juice per day.

I LOVE the Tropicana with juicy bits so I buy that stuff

because I'm too lazy to squeeze oranges.

I actually do have oranges but hate squeezing them.

I don't want to drink my calories. 

I want to focus on eating them,

so that's another thing I'm doing.

Okay -

so that's DAY #2

Tips, tricks, suggestions and all that jazz are always welcome.

Tell me wherever whenever

LET'S NOT CALL IT A DIET. DAY#1

HEY DOLLS!

In my previous post I explained to you guys how I have started a healthier eating diet

type of diet.

But then again I hate the word 'diet' so let's not call it a diet.

So this is what I ate on DAY #1 - meaning yesterday.

So I started off with two slices of toast with butter.

I could live off this stuff!

I had some Fitness cereal with semi-skimmed milk.

I actually prefer whole milk but whole milk was expiring in like 3 days

 and semi-skimmed was expiring in like 4.

So I got semi-skimmed. BOO

I made a salad. And whilst I typically don't like salads all that much,

I did enjoy it. Lettuce, Red Lettuce

(if that's what's it called - LOL I'm dumb when it comes to veggie names),

and  tomatoes.

and threw on two steam fried -then-grilled chicken kebabs.

(For my Maltese readers I got these from Miracle Foods

and they're precooked, so I just cooked them in the convection oven a bit.)
As a salad dressing I used balsamic vinegar, olive oil and ground salt and pepper.

As a snack I had two plums.

(I actually had to google this one, LOL I literally had no idea that these are what plums are.

Plum is a colour to me #dumblady)

In the evening I had two bowls of veggie soup..

I made it! #ohyeah

And I was still hungry so an hour later I made a salad again. Same as before but with Benna mozzarella - which btw is VERY rich in protein and low in fat.


 

I didn't feel full at the end of the night.

And I had SO much cravings,

but I resisted.

I think calorie-count wise, looking back, I didn't take enough.

and it's too veggie-based as a diet.

More carbohydrates HERE I COME.

Any cooking ideas ? Suggestions?

I'd love to hear!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS + DEMO! | RIMMEL Match Perfection Concealer ! ❤ -- DYNA

THE BIKINI CHALLENGE #OHYEAH | THE TRAILER !

HI DOLLS!

So in the coming weeks I'm going to do my very best

to change a certain lifestyle that I've adopted.

As you might know,

I've given birth 5 and a half months ago.

Throughout my pregnancy I have gained weight throughout.

NEVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE.

I am blessed with AWESOME genetics,

putting weight I gain on my butt and bust area.

Well, I used to.

Bloody hell I'm jealous of my younger self.

Throughout my pregnancy I gained weight in my arms, belly,

butt, bust, face and my personal least favourite,

LOVE HANDLES.

Now post pregnancy I have lost pretty much all the weight,

and I'm saggy.

I was putting salt on my fries the other day and for all

I know I was waving and my boyfriend with my jiggly arms.

And yes at first glance, I'm skinny.

But I'm shapeless.

I am muscle-less,

and quite frankly,

I feel rather weak.

I used to go for walks with my mum

but I HATE exercise other than that.

I hate sports and I hate it all.

SO. I have decided to start a challenge.

The healthier eating challenge,

and exercising challenge.

Whilst I'm not keen on the exercising part,

I've already made changes on the former part.

Oh yeah.

And you guys are coming on a journey with yours truly throughout this

healthier toning up challenge.

Something you need to know is that I'm still breastfeeding so that requires me to eat some 1800-2000 calories per day

so I can't cut down lots.

I have to try and find alternatives to my snacking.

Try to eat more organic,

more veggies, more fruits

and portion control is something I have to keep in mind too.

MY GOALS.

I need to tone up my butt (as weird as that sounds).

It has shrunk. GONE.

And to make it worse

I've got love handles,

something I never had before.

and I look like a box from the behind.

Ugh.

I want to gain a bit of a muscle

and get rid of the cellulite on my thighs.

And I want to continue eating healthy, too.

And FINALLY I want to wear a bikini and feel confident in it.

That's about it!

And I'll see you next time.

TATA!

CHEAP SIGMA GOLD BRUSHES DUPES ? ❤ -- DYNA

MY Pregnancy Stretchmarks & Advice to Pregnant Women - Will they fade? ...

And like the dramatic person that I am, here's AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

I have been contemplating about doing this.

And a part of me (still) doesn't want me to do this.

I enjoy uploading videos and getting feedback from you all.
 

I promised to upload daily videos

-which I can do, technically-

I have 10 pre filmed videos to upload

They are edited and ready to be uploaded.

So what's the problem?

The problem is that I got bored with blogging in the first place

because I promised to post daily.

And I'm doing the same thing here.

Whilst a 10 minute video might not seem like it's a lot to some of you,

it actually takes me hours to edit, save, upload, publish and edit the description and thumbnail.

This is my hobby.

And this post is a reminder of that.

I should not make the mistake of turning something that I enjoy doing

into a daily task.

I might still upload stuff daily,

but I have taken my "NEW VIDEO DAILY" banners down.

I'm just going to upload whenever I feel like it.

I hope you guys understand.

I would like to continue uploading videos that you all enjoy

and just like a dear friend of mine told me,

if I don't enjoy doing it, I can't expect you to do so too.

I'm not sure if I'm uploading today.

Because, again, I don't feel like it this second.

I might change my mind and upload.

But the thing is, I have removed all the self-imposed duties

that I have done over the past few months.

I don't want to feel like I have to film, edit and upload.

I want to feel like I want to.

Someone asked me what do I do in my free time,

other than youtube.
And I literally could not think of an answer.

I don't do anything anymore just for me,

except for youtube videos.

And that is wrong of me.

So while the sun is out,

I'm going to slather on some makeup

(because I look like a ghost without it)

and go for a walk with Aicha

because I've pretty much never done that.

Hope you all have a great day,

and till the next video,

I'll see you guys later!

Mummy at 22.

Whilst I don't really like to talk about my private life on my blogs,

except for some issues,

I really wanted to write this blog post.

I'm 22. I got pregnant at 21,

I now have a daughter at 22 years old.

She's almost 5 months already,

and her name is Aicha.

And here's all I have to say about it.

Aicha came across as a surprise

(I hate the phrase 'unplanned pregnancy', you see).

I (now regretfully) cried when we found out.

I freaked out because I felt I was not ready to raise a human being.

I had plans to continue my studies (I have a B.Comm with English)

and was working as an English teacher for foreign students for a few months.

And I wanted a full time job.  

 But I didn't quite care about my plans, I swear.

They're just plans.

I just didn't know if I was ready to have a baby.

But I was going to.

I was pregnant.

So we made plans.

WE (me and my boyfriend - because no, we're not married)

love each other A LOT.

We know we want to be with each other.

Not because we were going to have a baby, no.

We knew long before then.

I am what you can call - a single parent,

 because I'm not married.

So technically I fall under that statistic.

I don't feel alone, or 'single'.

Because I'm not.

I am a happy mother of a 5 month old

in a happy relationship.

My daughter is healthy,

and she makes my day every time I hear her crackle a laugh.

and even though she came across a surprise,

I wouldn't have it any other way.

I used to watch people who have had unplanned pregnancies

saying if they had a choice and go back,

they would do things exactly the same

because they can't imagine their life without their son or their daughter.

Back then,

I thought they just said it

because they didn't feel like they had a choice.

But honestly,

I feel that same way, too.

If I were to postpone the pregnancy,

I probably wouldn't have the Aicha I know now,

she'd probably be different,

she might even be a boy.

And I love my daughter, as she is.

And the thought of not having her in my life

scares me.

Screw my previous plans!

Because now, I have even more beautiful plans,

one that includes my daughter in them.

 I want to embrace and enjoy every stage of her growing up.

I want her to be there when something nice happens to me.

I want to share it with her, with my boyfriend,

because they mean the world to me.

And without her as she is,

I don't know what it would be like to be me.
