Happy Monday!

It is Monday and my husband and I officially start our vacation. As I mentioned before I will enjoy myself in the next few weeks but that doesn't mean I only make bad food choices and don't workout at all. My workouts for this week are planed and I try to eat clean as often as I can but there will be dinners out and I won't feel bad about it. It is all in the balance.

Happy Monday!

Work HARD, dream BIG!!!

My Favourite of the week!

"My Favourite of the week" is something very personal this week. I never really shared this with you but my husband was deployed for the last six months and came home last weekend. Having him back home is wonderful! 

I know that in the next few weeks there will be more dinner's out, wine, socializing in general and I will enjoy every single moment of it. I probably won't see my abs as much and maybe I will workout 4-5x a week instead of 6x but that is totally fine with me. It is all in the balance.

 Happy Friday!

My Favourite of the week!

I am a big fan of my friend and blogger Stephanie from Trips & Trends. A few weeks ago she told me that she started using a product called SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and that she loved it.
I am always curious about new products and trying to find something for my skin that works wonders lol .
After talking to her I ordered a bottle myself (it is not cheap!!!) and started using it about a month ago and I absolutely LOVE it. It makes my skin smooth, more even but it especially helps me with not getting any funny pimples/breakouts. So this is "My Favourite of the week" :

Happy Friday!

Struggling

I am sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks. I enjoyed an amazing time in Switzerland and since getting back I am struggling a little bit with everything. But let me start at the beginning :-).

My two weeks in Switzerland were amazing. I got to see my niece and fell in love right away. She is perfect! I also had the honor of being the Maid of honor for my best friends wedding. Her ceremony was beautiful on the lake Biel/Bienne and we celebrated with local wine and food.

During my time in Switzerland I stayed active with running and I even went to a gym a few times with my mum. With 62 years old she signed up for a gym for the very first time in her life :-). I am so proud of her!
Every time I go back home I am always super busy because I try to see as many people as I can plus being home also means you have some family obligations too. I went out a lot and ate and drank what ever I wanted. I really enjoyed it but kept my balance the whole time.

Unfortunately I ate something bad on my way back to the USA and got sick with food poisoning. I never was so sick and since then I am totally off my routine.
The few days being sick at home with no energy started my struggling. I can't really explain it but for the last two weeks I wasn't as motivated as before and a lot of food grosses me still out. I didn't eat meat for the last ten days and I slowly started eating eggs again a few days ago. But my struggling wasn't only with food but also with working out and pushing myself and the feeling of changing something was stronger than ever. Somehow I lost my focus.

This week finally I started to feel like myself again but something did change. I can't put my finger on it yet but I already know that things won't be quite the same anymore. I will keep you updated.

This week finally I started to feel like myself again (yay!). However, something has changed and I can't put my finger on exactly what. I have this strange feeling things won't be quite the same anymore. When I discover why, I'll let you know! In the meantime, I'll stand by this great quote:
