My December Inspiration and moodboard

Being inspired is one of the greatest feelings and state of mind that can happen to anyone! At least it is like that for me. When I am inspired I feel so powerful, alive, strong, full of ideas and aims, just unstoppable and the world is my oyster! Like real Wonderwoman that can and will save the World. 

I have realized that in order to get there I need some daily dose of inspiration, even in some small things - like motivational picture or some encouraging words. 

It's been years I am collecting those kind of pictures and quotations, colors and good words than whenever I or someone else around me needs some positive boost I just look them up and send it over. A great way to try to make someone else to feel better. For me it works every single time - lifts my spirits and gives me energy again. 

As a visual person who loves pictures and colors and inspire others I have decided to try out a new thing - a monthly mood board that would be a preview of my next month aims, dreams, colors, ideas, travels, workout, etc. Maybe it will encourage you too to make some for yourself too to dream a little and reach goals faster and easier. 

DECEMBER MOOD BOARD highlights- HOLIDAY, FESTIVITY and GOAL REACHING.

December Moodboard

So how does my moodboard seems to you? Inspirational? 

The main highlights of month are: 

Recipe/Experiment: Infused water - lemon, cucumber and mint

This week I have started a new challenge which should help me to get ready for the beach in 3 weeks.
I have heard and tried several infused water recipes and teas already (check my previous blog post about Water benefits here) , but this week I want to try 10 day detox water cure to be pure inside and out.

Yesterday started Infused Water experiment and gulping down 2l of Lemon, Cucumber and Mint water per day. (For those who are not used to drink so much water it might sound a lot, but actually it isn't that hard at all as long as you divide it as following: 1 l till 14:00 and other half till bedtime, plus if you drink it from a glass it becomes a lot easier as seems a lot of smaller amounts)!

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! :)
