Food plan update

As you remeber in this post I told you about some changes in my diet. I don't call it a diet, because it is not a diet. It is more of a food plan that helps me eat healthy and enough good foods to stay strong and build muscle. When I have told people about this, their first reaction is negative, because they think I am on a diet to loose weight. Most people say Im too skinny to be on a diet, but when I tell them what it really is, then they understand a bit better. 

In this post will give you an update on my feelings about the changes in my eating. 

So now I have been following my food plan for five weeks. Twice I have allowed my self to eat something that does not belong to the plan, and each time I have gotten stomach pain...

At first, when I started the plan I thought the amount of food was so much. I was eating all the time and constantly buying loads of bananas and carrots. But in a few days my body started adapting to the changes, and the amount of food did not feel that much anymore. Now it feels like I get exactly the right amount of food that my body needs. The food plan is flexible in a sense that I don't have to eat the same things every day. It is easy to make the same food in a different way, just by changing the spices for instance.

The only difficulties I have had with the plan is that I feel like I am cooking all the time :D Also changes in my daily routines might change the order of what I eat.

Over all I have been feeling very good. It is easy not to have to plan what food to make today, since it is all given in the plan. I also only buy what I need, and leave all extra crap in the grocery shop. 

Muistatte miten tässä postauksessa kerroin ruokavalion muutoksestani. Nyt olen seurannut uutta ruokavalio-ohjelmaani viisi viikkoa. Kaksi kertaa olen syönyt mitä on tehnyt mieli, mutta joka kerta on tullut huono olo ja vatsakipuja. Ruokavalio on ollut helppo, vaikka aluksi ajattelin että herranjestas, miten kykenen syömään näin paljon! Olen kantanut suuria määriä banaaneja ja porkkanoita kotiin, mutta kaikki on ollut sen arvoista. Olo on hyvä, eikä tarvitse miettiä mitä ruokaa seuraavaksi tekisi. Ainoa ongelma jonka olen kohdannut on se kun päivän aikatauluni poikkeavat normaalista. Esimerkiksi jos minulla on töiden jälkeen ohjelmaa, enkä pääse heti kotiin syömään kunnon ruokaa. Silloin olen säätänyt hieman ruokaohjelmaa, ja vaihtanut hieman ruokailujen paikkoja.

Aion jatkaa ohjelmaa yksinkertaisesti sen takia että olo on todella hyvä. Suuremmat muutokset ulkonäöllisesti tapahtuu varmaan vasta muutaman kuukauden kuluttua :) 

Ruokavalio on tilattu Lindalta :)

Even though I feel good with this food plan, I think it will take time to start to see any bigger changes. This is only five weeks, so maybe in two moths there will be bigger visible changes. 

Anyhow, I will be continuing the diet as it is, just because it is easy and I feel good.

The food plan is ordered from Linda :)

Black track

Even though the weather has been very sunny and warm today, I feel like wearing something like this. Very chill and sporty, but with the faux fur giving some edge to the outfit. I also like the backpack very much :)

My Shoes #1

I thought I'd make a post about my shoes. I have a fair amount of shoes, so I will make a separate post about my sneakers and pumps later. This one will be about shoes I use when it is colder. As I have said before, I usually buy leather shoes and try to maintain them by taking them to the cobbler. When it comes to heels and sneakers or flats, they don't necessarily have to be leather, but boots, they have to! 

These high heeled ankle boots I bought from Zara in the fall. They are very comfortable to walk in and the heel hight is just perfect, not too high and not too low. I have added a padded insole to make them even more comfortable. I have also had the cobbler put an outer sole to make them less slippery and more long-lasting. 

These Depeche shoes I bought last winter if I remember right. They are nubuck leather and one of my most used ankle boots. They are super comfortable to walk in the whole day. They also go with everything.

My Bianco biker boots are also very popular for my feet. I think I bought them last spring. They also go with everything :)

These Aldo boots I bought before Christmas, so I have not used them that much. But I think I will be using them a lot in the spring. 

These Zara spring boots I found in the sale after Christmas. Can't wait to use them. They are also leather.

These leather boots from H&M are very old, a few years at least. I have not used them that much, I don't know why. But they are a very classic model.

These are the only artificial leather boots I have. And I just looked at them and they are looking a bit dodgy...maybe they need a new home.

These I bought in the fall and they are one of my absolute faves. Comfortable, classic and stylish! I just had the cobbler put a better outer sole and heelpiece. They were a bit slippery both outside on snow and inside on marble floors. But not anymore thanks to my cobbler.

The Park West shoes are old. I have used them a lot as you see.

The Pollini's are a new find I did at Stockmann some weeks ago. They are perfect for cold wearher and super comfortable. The material in these is suede.

The Svea boots are from last winter. I have used them a lot and they are very warm.

These Caterpillars I have not used that much since the winter has not been that snowy. They are also very heavy :D

My Vagabonds are very old, probably about 6 years :D I don't use them that much anymore, just if I want a little edge in an outfit.

My DinSko nubuck leather shoes are very much used. Perfect for spring.

Last but not least my newest family member. These are exactly what I have been looking for and they are perfect. Can't wait to use them when the streets clear from snow :)

I feel like I have a shoe for every outfit, but there are still a few shoe types and colours I would like to have :) Then I will be happy with my collection!

Cakes and sushi's

Long time no see!

I have been too busy to update my blog, but I will try to be updating more frequently.

Last weekend we had a baby shower for one of my friends. I am so proud of our diaper cake that we made :D It was so much fun at the shower and everything went so well. Can you believe that the actual cake was home made!

Viime viikonlopun baby shower kuvasaldoa. Olen niin ylpeä tekemästämme vaippakakusta :)

So, I have been working, planning babyshowers and baking diaper cakes :)

Yesterday I found one thing that I have been looking for for a long time. A fabric comb. I hate when clothes get fuzzy, so I wanted a fabric comb instead of one of those weird electric ones. I was trying to find it online in web shops and ebay. Then yesterday I found it at Stockmann. I was so happy because it was only 4,90€. I had to try it immediately, and here you see the difference. On the right side is the fuzzy sleeve, on the left side the cleaned one!

Löysin Stockalta pitkään etsimäni neulekamman. Se oli vain 4,90€, ja oli heti pakko päästä testaamaan kaikkiin neuleisiin. Tämä on addiktoivaa... Oikealla puolella näkyy nukkainen hiha, ja vasemmalla on neulekammalla puhdistettu hiha.

Yesterday we ate with some friends at the chinese restaurant Basilika on Kaisaniemenkatu. The Sushi was good and oh so filling!

Kävimme eilen Syö Helsinki viikkojen kunniaksi sushilla ravintola Basilikassa Kaisaniemenkadulla. Hyvää oli :)

One day you're in, the next day you're out

I want to share a list on what currently is in and what is out. I want to keep it fashionable and fun, and not focus only on fashion trends, but anything that goes on around us :)

In

Normal eyebrows

For the last few years the ultimate trend has been the thick bushy eyebrow. Not anymore! We still like the natural look, but slightly plucked in to a medium sized normal eyebrow. No thanks to the thick unibrow, we want balance in the face :)

Natural looking nails

Nails are often something many women want as glittery as possible. But to be looking trendy, classy and not trashy you should go for the natural look and one coloured.

Being kind to others

This might sound silly, but nowadays it is very common to come across some nasty bullying online, as well as fighting on webpages and other social media sites. Be kind to others and you will definitely be in! :)

Out

Fake leather

Theres nothing more unappealing than artificial leather bags or shoes. Before when I used to buy artificial leather shoes or bags I got so disappointed when they broke so fast. I have thrown away too many artificial leather products. Who wouldn't want to buy something that lasts longer. Your wallet will thank you in the long run, especially nowadays when you can get good quality leather shoes and bags from more affordable shops like H&M and Zara. 

Peplum

Yes, peplum, in any form at any part of your clothes. I used to like peplum when the trend came out, but it did not last for long. I remember reading an article about what guys think about women's fashion, and every guy in the article hated peplum, simply because it makes women shapeless. When I read that I realised that it is true. Rarely does a peplum top enhance the best curves of the woman body, it just covers it.

Big Platforms

 The Jeffrey Campbell platform shoe trend is long gone. You don't want your feet looking as big as your head anymore.
