My love for pumpkin and the other things...

Hello...

I've been so lazy lately, even though I challenged myself to do lots of stuff... It's because of the weather I guess. It's so cold... I'm lazy to go out for a walk in the mornings... Plus I like cooking more lately rather than following my healthy living rules. Today all I have done was only cooking. I spent all my time in the kitchen. I improvised on pumpkin, made a soup and a real delish dessert for lunch. For dinner I cooked from Turkish Cousine... I've cooked all day long and tried not to eat a lot. Seems impossible but I succeed... I feel hungry now... Here are the pics of my improvised recipes....

Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients
-200 gr  pumpkin (chopped)
-1 small potato (chopped)
-20-30 gr chopped celery (chopped)
-1 medium size onion(chopped)
-Salt&Pepper
-1 lt Chicken broth
-2-3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
-3/4 cup milk

Roast all the chopped veggies a little than add salt and pepper. Add boiled chicken broth into the pot, cook about 30-40 minutes. Mash it and add the milk at the and. Cook 2 more minutes. Ready to serve... I made also pumpkin and celery croutons for serving. It was delisicious...

Vanilla oatmeal porridge topped with mashed pumpkin

It's easy as its name.  Cooked the pumpkins for 1 hour with sugar, mashed it. Made the porridge with milk, sour cream and vanilla( no sugar added) and stuff them into a nice icecream serving bowl. It was unbelivebly delisicious. I couldn't expect that much!!!

I reached 2 minutes on my plank challange. But I don't do it everyday, or more than one time in a day. It's lazy of me but if it works in that way, I'll do in that way... I weigh myself every morning and I see day after day how crazy body I have. At the end of January I saw 56,3 on scale. 1 February I was 55,6. 2. February 55,7. Yesterday even though I haven't eaten any unhealty  stuff or junkfood I was 57 than with that motivation I couldn't stop myself from eating junkfood all thay long  but I felt hunger a lot as well. This morning I was 56,1... I just don't get what my real weight is. Let see how it will be tomorrow...

On the other hand. I'm missing my fiance a lot. Last night I had a sad dream. I was crying in my dream. Then I woke up and realized that I'm actually crying to hell out of me. I couldn't sleep for an hour. Then went to bed again. It's not getting any easier day by day as I thought to be... I miss him a lot... This soldering shit is really sucks!!! They should have the opportunity to decide weather they want to join the army or not... Not everybody has to be a patriot...

Tomorrow health issues day again. I'll be in the hospital...

That's all for tonight...

Legen... Wait for it... I'm gonna rock this month...Dary February :)

I've been eating a lot lately. I realized that whenever I try to inhibit myself hard, I don't get good results at all. I mean, when I try to stay away from chocalate for some days, I end up with eating two packages in a day for a week. I've been eating a lot lately because of that. Normally I had no issue with sugar, chocalate and desserts. I can stay away from those. My thing is more of salty junkfoods and patisserie things but when I say myself 'no you're not gonna eat any chocalate for a week at all', suddenly chocalate becomes my biggest desire. I stay away for some days but it never ends good. So... I decided to have a healty eating diet including chocolate. It can't be so harmfull. For that I'm gonna cook healty desserts and gonna buy really good quality chocolates...

Tomorrow is the weigh yourself and put realistic goals day for me. I'll try to eat as healthy as possible and be active as much as I can on February. My goal is to be able to see 54 on scale at the end of the month. Now I'm between 56,5-57 kg and I  gotta loose 2-2,5 kg in 1 month. Not a big deal actaully.... The thing is I've been eating clean and being active for more than a month but unfortinately I haven't lost weight at all... I've lost 1 kg and gained right back in some days at my period time. That's why I need to try hard to stay  motivated and gotta follow my diet. 

In February I'm gonna try to complete 30 Day Plank Challenge. I already can stay for 90sec and at the and of the month I gotta reach on 300sec. I can do it!!! :D 

I'm gonna be here tomorrow with all my measurements and goals... For now here some pictures of what I ate today...

Real Turkish Mediterranean Breakfast with arugula, parsley,olives, cucumber, tomatoe, boiled egg, grilled halloumi, bree, feta, ham, crispy wholewheat bread and  organic thyme tea. Yummy!!

A nice mix of oatmeal, fruits, raw hazelnuts and raisins with little bit of chocalate. Real delish... Nice for the lunch or a starving snacktime...

When I drink something hot, I gotta eat some snack with it to feel like I eat stuff!!! After all I feel  the hunger a lot lately... :/

This one I made yesterday. It was pretty much my first experience of making a smoothie. I didn't look for a recipe. I basicly mixed everything which sounds great together. And it was really really tasty... It's a mix of spinach, green apple,pear, banana,orange, milk and yoghurt. I wanna make another one tomorrow. It was real good...

And this cuty here is my dinner. It's tuna salad with lot's of veggies, mix of light mayo, ketchup, vinegar and lemon juice  as dressing... The most important ingredients are tuna, red onions and the dressing I guess, other stuff can be changed by the taste...

My own way of living healthy

The idea of eating clean took me 24 years to get it. I've always considered myself as a normal weight person and I was pretty happy with that until the day my bf woke me up. Since then I've been thinking how the hell I could rid of my weights. I've tried it in every possible unhealtyh way. Tried to eat almost nothing for a day and made myself happy for couple of hours until I faint.  I've tried to stay awake during the nights and eat nothing even though when I was starwing and on the next day sleeping all day long so I could eat only 2 times in a day and that would make me skinnier Aha!!! So thank god at some point I started to think a little bit more logical and realized that actually all I need to do change my routines and it'll be all OK. I had also some middle serious health issues before I started to follow this healthy eating lifestyle rules and now they all are gone.  What I do is actually no hard.  I eat like 5 times in a day(I count the snacks as well even when I eat an apple, that does count.) I wake up early and sleep early. Go for a walk in the mornings right after I wake up for hour and half. And try too keep  all those junkfood away from my life. Of course that is something I'm not %100 successfull on yet but we'll come to that. So here you can find out  how I live my life lately, what I like, what I don't and I'm gonna try to show'em all in an artistic way with taking pictures of things. Mostly, the  things will be the plates I prepare for myself . I don't believe in recipes. Usually I cook very casual. I check the fridge, see what I have and try to make something good out of it. I like music, cooking lately instagram like crazy and bowls&mugs... So if it is ever gonna be possible you want me to buy a present please make it bowls or mugs... ;)

and this little cutty hier is the motto of my life.  I like to eat, like to travel and with those plus with my love I can be happy for a lifetime. ;)
