Beach 2012 - join in

Here is a super tip for getting in shape AND keeping in touch with friends far away,

Create a secret group on Facebook and invite 2 or 3 friends, the goal could be to work out as often as you can until June 22.

Everytime you work out you insert the number of work outs so far, for instance, the 7th. You write what you did and upload a photo of you and your sweaty clothes! peace of cake!

It's a great motivation skill and also gets you too keep in touch with lost friends all over the world. Like in my group we are living in Oslo, Melbourne, London and Gothenburg!

My goal is 90 workouts between january 2nd and June 22nd.

Wish us luck!

No TV dinner if you want to stay slim!

3 easy goodlooking tips

- wear topcoat above the nailpolish, it lasts longer and is prettier.

- use a heatprotection spray/cream for your hair. It's worth it in the end.

- floss and use toothpicks every day, have some in your bags.

25 Dagars Utmaning!

25 days challenge! Why not? 

I keep telling myself to exercise more, eat more healthier, skip the coffee, so why not make the most out of it for 25 days? 

I got the inspiration from here, and here. 

The official day is May 3rd, until May 28th.

Let's do it together! Are you with me - individual goals, our own challenge, it's always easier supporting each other when it gets tough, which it most likely will be!

My main focuses will be on the work out itself - 5 days a week, with two days of rest, and in between bicycling 5 days a week for 2x20 min.

Monday - Rest

Tuesday - S-Core

Wednesday - BodyBalance 

Thursday - BodyCombat

Friday - Rest

Saturday - Zumba Fitness

Sunday - BodyPump

+ 200 min bicycling per week, to and from work.

Beach 2011 - Getting ready with Herbalife & Vitamins

It's always coming so much quicker than you think, and therefore it's important to get ahead.

I have my daily routine with bicycling and trips to Sportlife every other day to either, BodyPump, Zumba Fitness, or BodyBalance. My newest favorite is Bootywalk which is actually more fun than sweaty.

I just started with Herbalife shakes. It really helped me 3 years ago, and I reduced my fatpercentage with 5%... Wish me luck!

My Vitamins are from Costco, My C-vitamins 1000mg and my multi vitamins with everything you can imagine. American of course, can't get that here. Everyday I'd be poppin' that pill.

FYI, I'm not looking to loose weight, but only to get more fit ;) Once I turned 24, everything is pointing downwards!

A dash of cold water

For more shine in your hair, rinse your hair in cold water after you've washed and rinsed it.

It totally works!

How to lose your love handles and your back fat

No, I am actually asking you? Are you seeing the same thing I'm seeing? Her side fat under her training bra? It's nada! There is actually nothing there.

After seeing this cover of Shape Up I feel questionable: is this photo shop or can this also happen to me at the age of 24? After seeing that I went straight to a Body Pump pass and I felt much better afterwards, for a while... till I saw it again

If someone has answers or tips, please share!

AVOID this

Whether  you've noticed it or not, there are loads of dangerous ingredients in your daily products (daycream, lipgloss, bodylotion, toothpaste, etc). If you look at ingredients and find these: WATCH OUT

Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde - allergenic inducing perfume substance

Cyclopentasiloxane  Pollutant Hazardous poison 

Paraben:

Can give you skin irritations, rosacea, breast cancer, estrogenic activity, etc

Good(not yet proven): Methylparaben, Sodium Methylparaben og Ethylparaben

Bad: ropylparaben, Isopropylparaben, Butylparaben og Isobutylparaben.


Bad creams containg bad parabens: Elizabeth Arden, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, 

Sodium Lareuth Sulfate 

You find this in your dishing soap, toothpaste, schampoo, etc...

This actually dries your skin! Watch out for it!

If there's foam, there's SLS! Anything foaming is therefore very bad for your skin. In addition, when it is processed a poisonous gas called etylenoxid. 

As a result you can get a dry scalp, eczema, and other ailments.

Try using Zendium toothpaste which holds no SLS. 

Triklosan

An antibacterial substance that's used in toothpaste, deodorants, soaps, etc. It can in worst cases lead to a resistance to antibiotics. 

Last but absolutely not least: 

Mineral oils...which is actually left overs of production from motor oil and gasoline (therefore a very cheap ingredient). This is found in for example Carmex and Lypsyl. This prevents the body from producing its own fat, and this is why you often get dry lips (... I am currently on Carmex rehab). It can also prevent the absorption of vitamins and minerals, get clogged pores so that the natural skinprocess does not function. 

 In other words: never use: Vaselin, Vaselin oil, Petrolatum, Vaselinum, Paraffin, Paraffin Oil, Liquid paraffin, Ceresin, Polysobutene, Dimethico, Ozokerit, E 905, Paraffinum liquidum,  Petroleum and Triethanolomine.

Health: SPF Day cream

Always use a day cream with sun protection!

Look for the SPF sign on the package, or ask someone in the store.

You'll thank me when you get old(er)...

Eat Nuts!

People that eat nuts weigh often less than those that doesn't. It's the combination of proteins, fat and fibers. 


Do as me, I always have a little jar of nuts in my bag, it's perfect when one feels a little hungry. ;)
