Challenge: No Junk Food

Yes! you heard me! let's cut out all junk food for 21 days! and YES, i know it is a summer and a big, delicious ice cream is a must! BUT ask yourself, how badly you want to change something in your life and get you in shape! so why not try this!?
Here's what you have to do!

easy, right? :) (originally posted by Stephanie. check her blog here :) )
OH, and I would add also NO ALCOHOL! (waaaayyy too much calories and sugar!)
well it's easier to write than do, right? but I want to look good at beach, don't you? :P

so on this positive note I accept my no-junk-food challange! to make it more fun, will keep on experimenting and trying to replace junk food with a healthy BUT delicious foods and will share recipes as well! :)
ALSO. to follow up and realize all the snacks I eat per day that shouldn't be there, I made a Junk Food table to follow up my progress. (actually, my brother sent me his table, I just updated it! :) so if want to see how much you are eating between meals and how much kcal that are total, just print it out, put it on the wall in your kitchen or take it with you (like at your workplace, like ai am doing - because that's the place where the temptation is the strongest! :O all meetings and coffee invitations and international sweets..brrrr..tough to resist when a client comes with big box of macarons.but i am trying my best! and this is giving me extra motivation! ) and start tracking your progress. to know how much calories are your snack is worth, I am using calory calculator by My Fitness Pal. really like it because it has also  nutrition facts! check it out here! ! :) included also comment if I worked out or not (to not feel that guilty that I just take calories and not burn them).

last but not least! PRINT IT OUT and put it on your fridge! :)

 

Recipe: Blueberry mousse

Guess who's is back and reloaded?! :) some of you may know my reasons of being absent (check my Instagram for photo-evidence), but just to justify myself and put it on the writting than I had a perfectly valid reasons to not update my blog:
a) i had to move, b) i had no electricity at my new place for a week, c) i had tendinitis in my right arm-wrist so couldn't do anything for 10 days d) afterwards  i left for holiday for 2 weeks!
BUT i am back now and full with energy and inspiration to eat healthy, be fit and keep enjoying life on full swings! :) so stay tuned!
The first thing i will do: i will share a recipe for a BLUEBERRY MOUSSE I made while on holiday's at Latvia.
Every Latvian knows this heavenly, delicious sweet that grandmas used to make for them! no wonder it is called a Sky Semolina - (Debesmanna). it's usually a pink colour and reminds of clouds in a sunset ^_^ however I decided to change a little bit the traditional recipe and make it purple - with blueberries! so here is how I did it!

Blueberry Mousse (4 persons):

You will need:
400ml water
300g blueberries
80g sugar(if like sweater can put 120gr)
70g semolina

Preparation:
Preparation time - 20min.
1. Pour in a kettle blueberries, sugar and water. Put it on the fire and constantly stear it. when it has boiled a little squeeze slightly the berries so the juice comes out. keep it boiling till all the sugar melts. (around 4 minutes)

2.while stearing add semolina and boil a little bit more till it grows. Mass must be averagely thick.

3.take off the gas and let it cool down.
4.after some 10 minutes start mixing it with a mixer so the mxtures starts growning (can use also hand but that takes a LOOOT of time and patience, so use mixer :) ).

5. mixit it till it gets brighter color as well as bigger. Voilà! it's DONE! if prefer can serve it still warm or let it coll down completely.

A perfectly delicious and fast dessert and above all - healthy! (of course can put also a lot less sugar - depending ontaste preferences, but need some to make the mass thicker).

I always eat it with a milk, but it can be served also alone or with different souces, like vanilla, etc. my case - I used some milk and coconut sprinkles for decoration.
perfect for breakfast as well!
enjoy! :)
