This morning I went for a walk outside for 10 minutes. Then I followed this 21-day challenge to start making exercise as an habit. It’s perfect for someone who hasn’t workout for a long time. After the session I felt a bit stronger. The video is in Swedish, but it’s pretty much self explanatory.
You’ll need a skipping rope, a resistance band, and a gym ball. But it works well with just dumbbells too! I couldn’t do the wide push ups so I did the standing wall push up instead.

Squats: 2 x 8-12 reps
Wide push ups: 2 x 8-15 reps
Sit ups: 2 x 10-20 reps

Good morning all Goddesses/Gods! Hope you had a good weekend. I started off this morning with a glass of green juice (spinach, celery, cucumber, apple, orange). It can be a bit flavorful to drink green juice in the morning. But try out different mixture until you find the right ratio of fruit and vegetables, such as 80% fruit and 20% greens. Eventually you can have more greens in your juice.
Another variation of green juice can be found here


The countdown starts tomorrow, 100 days challenge beach 2011. Join me! Choose an exercise that you’ll enjoy!

Yesterday I bought a sports hula hoop for 249 SEK ($39). Perfect! It’s said to be easy to hoop with this kind of hula hoop and it is true! But it does hurt a bit in the beginning.
For beginners it is recommended:
First week: 1-3 minutes per day.
Second week: 3-5 minutes per day.
After two weeks: 50-10 minutes per day.
Don’t train more than two sessions per day.
Never train more than 20 minutes per session regardless of the experience.
How to hoop.

Sandwich, top with cheese and cucumber.
Green Buddha Oolong tea with a tiny slice of lemon.
½ Wasa crisp bread (cream cheese, tomato and basil).
Frozen mixed fruit.

Aaaaaaaagh! It’s 103 days left until summer! I haven’t been active for a long time because of the snow and the cold weather. It’s simply just an excuse not to move. There is absolutely no reason for me not to lose weight. I’m happily blaming on my unhealthy eating habits and the absence of the exercise, but it’s ME who is the biggest hinder.
I’m searching frantically for a non-boring workout at home. I miss the Wii I’ve sold. Earlier I was thinking about buying an elliptical cross trainer but since I’ve had an exercise bike before I’m afraid it will just gather dust. This weekend I’m going to take a look at the power hoops, but nothing really beats an outdoor workout and fresh air!
Easy to make and it tastes delicious. Just fry some vegetables, pour in the sauce, mix altogether with pasta and in the oven for 10 minutes. Ta da!

Ingredients
250 g/8.8 oz pasta, such as penne
1 small red onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic
1 can of tomato pasta sauce (approximately 400 g/14 oz)

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 225C (437F). Cook the pasta according to instruction on the packet. Drain, and rinse in cold water, and set aside.
2. Peel and cut the onion in half. Slice thinly. Cut the zucchini lengthwise and then cut it into 1/2 cm (1/5 inch) thick slices. Cut and the halloumi into 1 cm (about half inch) cube size. Cut the tomatoes in half.
3. Fry the zucchini in 1/2 tablespoon oil over high heat about 5 minutes. About 1 minute left, add the onion. Peel and crush the garlic. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Set it aside. Fry the halloumi in 1 teaspoon oil until it is nicely browned, about 3 minutes.
4. Mix tomato pasta sauce, fried vegetables, halloumi cheese and spinach with pasta. Season with 2 pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Divide pasta into an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake in the oven about 10 minutes.
