Super oatmeal!

Challenge day #20

I am happy to say that I have completed 2/3 of my Bikram Yoga 30 days challenge. It hasn't been as hard as I seriously thought it would be, my body actually feels amazingly good! I have definitely improved all the postures and sweat all the possible toxins from my body. 

It has been extra cold in New York for the last couple of days, so my body has been craving warm and spicy foods instead of cold smoothies etc- so that's what I have tried to do.

This morning I had oatmeal with organic blueberries and a lot of super healthy seed. It was really fulfilling and tasty.

Super oatmeal

half cup of steel cut oats

water (maybe a cup)

dash of himalayan salt

1/2 tbsp hempseed

1/2 tbsp chiaseed

1/2 tbsp flaxseed

1/2 tbsp sesameseed
1 tsp coconut oil

Organic blueberries

raw honey

(almond milk)

*Soak the seed in water overnight if possible

Add water, oats and salt to a pot and cook until oats are soft. Add seed, honey and blueberries and eat it with almond milk if you like. 

Stay warm!!

DAY #7 and a Green Smoothie with a kick!

I have now accomplished the first 7 days of my challenge! My body feels great and I feel very motivated to continue. I really believe that setting yourself a goal makes you more motivated! Me and my best friend just booked a trip to Jamaica (BEACH!!!!!!!) one day after my 30 days challenge, that's my reward for myself (and a birthday gift). 

This morning I felt like having a kickstart for my day. So I made this special Green smoothie:

(serves 2)

1 cup water

2 handful baby spinach (can be kale or any leafy green)

2 celery stalks

1 organic pear

1 small frozen banana

1 small lemon (juice)

a piece of fresh ginger (about one centimeter)

1 tbsp hemp seed

1 tbsp flax seed (soaked or grounded)

1 tbsp chia seed

fresh parsley

Cayenne pepper!!

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

30 days challenge

Sometimes it's good to really challenge yourself. To set a goal that motiavates you to get where you want to be. My goal for January is 30 days challenge with Bikram Yoga. It means that I will practice 30 classes in 30 days. 
Today is my fifth day and I feel good! 
How do you challenge yourself?

New Year's Resolutions for 2013! -Uudenvuoden lupaukset 2013!

I have never really made New Year's resolutions but this year i thought about it and came up with a whole list of things I want to do in 2013.

1. Have more social life
The hectic lifestyle in New York and the endless "To Do" list has definitely made me have too little social life this year. 2013 will be different. I love spending time with my friends, they make me laugh and give me energy.
2. Try Crossfit
I have wanted to try crossfit for the longest time, but still didn't make it to my first class. I'm sure I would fall in love with it, it looks so much fun!!! In 2013, I will try cross fit, hopefully in January.
3. Explore New York
There are so many places I've never been and so many things I haven't done in New York. I live here!!!! It's ridiculous how I haven't seen anything. In 2013 I want to see or do something new every week.
4. Don't spend money like it grows on trees
I know I am not the smartest person when it comes to spending and saving money. I don't over spend or spend money that I don't have, but do use it too much. In 2013, I will not stop buying the foods I want to (which is my biggest expense) but will be smarter with it. I also want to start an investment.
5. Love more
I love my life already and I love the people around me. In 2013 I want to make sure to keep it that way, and remember to share love and good energy every day.

En ole oikeastaan koskaan tehnyt uudenvuoden lupauksia. Tana vuonna sainkin vastaavasti oikein listan aikaiseksi! Tassa ovat minun viisi uudenvuoden lupausta vuodelle 2013:

1. Enemman sosiaalista elamaa
Kiireinen elama New Yorkissa ja loputon tehtavalista on aiheuttanut sen, ettei minulla ole laheskaan niin paljoa sosiaalista elamaa kun haluaisin. Toiden jalkeen on lisaa toita, jota seuraa jooga tai lenkki ja sen jalkeen onkin jo ihan valmis rauhottumaan kotona. Vuosi 2013 tulee olemaan erilainen. Rakastan viettaa aikaa ystavieni kanssa. He tekevat minut onnelliseksi ja antavat lisaa energiaa.
2. Kokeile Crossfittia
Oon jo niin kauan halunnut kokeilla crossfittia, mutta en vielakaan mennyt ensimmaiselle tunnilleni. Olen ihan varma, etta se olis just mun juttu! Vuonna 2013, aijon kokeilla crossfittia toivottavasti jo tammikuussa.
3. Nää enemman New Yorkia
On niin paljon paikkoja ja asioita mita New Yorkilla on tarjota ja mita en ole kokenut. On itseasiassa naurettavaa miten vahan olen nahnyt. Vuonna 2013 haluan tehda/nahda jotain uutta joka viikko.
4. Älä tuhlaa rahaa niinkuin olisit miljonaari
Tiedan, etta minulla jos jollain on paljon opittavaa rahankaytosta. En jaksa oikein stressata rahasta ja usein kaytan sita ihan kuin se kasvaisi puussa. Vuonna 2013 aijon oppia! 
5. Rakasta enemman!
Nautin ja rakastan elamaani, ja ihmisia ymparillani. Vuonna 2013 haluan pitaa huolen siita etta kaikki sailyy ennallaan, seka jakaa positiivista energiaa ja rakkautta joka paiva kaikille minua ymparoiville ihmisille

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
