Yummi Squash

I had an urge to try something new today when making dinner, because I saw this picture somewhere of baked squash with vegetables. Since then it has constantly been in my head so I just had to try. It is also super simple to make, you don’t even need a recipe. You just take out the insides of the squash out, making them look like cute little weirdly shaped bowls, blend the insides with different vegetables, tomato paste and seasoning. I used spanish red peppers, broccoli and taco seasoning. I wish I had pineapple bits because that would be the best finishing touch.

Then you just have some grated cheese on the top and put them in the oven at 200 degrees for 30 mins~

It tasted so delicious! Almost like pizza, but without the bread/bottom. I am definitely making more of these. And I think I have to try to make baked peppers too. There’s a lot of vegetables you can do this with. I am looking forward to eat the last two at school tomorrow.

Do you really think youre right about why I do this?

• Why are girls in general scared of lifting heavy weights?
• Why do most men think well-built women’s are scary/ugly?
• Why do people think that girls with muscles is unfeminine?
• Why do people think that girls at the gym are there to lose weight?
• Why is it that people think someone is doing low carb diet just because they care about sugar in food?
• Why is it so bad to care about eating healthy?
• Why do people think someone is a health freak because they’re interested in food and exercise?

So many questions in my head before hitting the gym today. It made me realise that there’s no freaking wonder why I just can’t bother talking/writing about how much I enjoy eating healthy and work out. Because everyone is going to think I’m a diet-get-slim-obsessed-only-eating-low-carb-food girl. It’s so sad that most of us gets placed in these boxes by prejudging people who have no idea about our reasons for doing what we do.

 No, I am not at the gym to slim down.

I am there to get stronger, to get more muscles, to GAIN weight. No, I do not put a lot of thoughts in what I eat because of calories, low carb diets or “I’m cutting out sugar”. I care because my body feels more energetic and happy when I eat clean and right. And I care because I need to be eating more calories that what I burn to gain weight. I don’t want to be gaining weight by stuff burgers, fries and pizzas down my throat.

There's a difference in being obsessend and being dedicated.

I am so tired of suppressing these interest of mine because I don’t want to be unfairly judged, because I don’t want to get those stereotype stamp on me. Maybe there’s a little piece of me being a bit scared of putting this side of me out there. I feel that this “me” on this blog is getting shallow because I never put my thoughts out here. Enough of it.

My mouth is not a fan of spicy food, but I am.

Just wanted to share a picture before going to bed.

I was supposed to blog this earlier but I fell a sleep like 3 times. I have never ever experienced tiredness like this. It was almost scary. I hope I’ll be better tomorrow. Back to the picture, on friday I went out eating mexican food. I’m not sure, but it’s probably the first time eating mexican. Except for the crazy spicy rice it was delicious! Its been a while since I’ve eaten scampi.

Lemon water keeps your Zen!

I have fallen in love with drinking lemon water, specially in the morning! And its supposed to have a lot of benefits. The only thing I can’t understand is why the water should be lukewarm. Here’s 10 reasons to drink lemon water in the morning. I’ve also learned that you should drink 16 fl. oz (ca.5dl) of water first thing in the morning. Hear my favorite pilates instructor Cassy Ho explain why here.

The best reasons for me must be; the fresh taste, that it strengthens the immune system, aid the digestion and help clearing skin. I might have to try it as a skin treatment too?! I love lemons.

Rolled oats are traditionally oat groats that have been rolled into flat flakes~

A bowl of cereal, nuts and melons~

• 1 handful of rolled oats
• 1 handful of homemade muesli
• Some chopped hazelnuts
• 2 slice of cantaloupe melon cut in bits
• 1 slice of honey melon cut in bits
• and milk (I prefer oatmilk)
• and a glass of orange juice

Seriously one of the best meals I have made me after a workout. Finally decided that the flu-like sickness I’ve postponed my workouts for way to long. So i finally worked some strength on my arms, legs&thifhs and abs. Felt really good~

Did you know that; Oats are the only cereal containing a globulin or legume-like protein, avenalin, as the major (80%) storage protein. Oat protein is nearly equivalent in quality to soy protein, which World Health Organization research has shown is equal to meat, milk, and egg protein. No? Well now you do. I love oats <3
