1000lbs Best Friends made me a bit motivated.

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆1 Comment

The TV show is opening my eyes. I never thought it would do that but now I am slowly adjusting my life and my habits.

1000 lbs Best Friends is the show I am currently watching. It’s actually an eye-opener for me. I know I am big and overweight, and I have been working on it but this show actually shows me tips and tricks on new ideas and life choices. 

(I’m writing this for me but heeeey boo! Thanks for reading. I hope you are having an amazing day)

In one episode I have watched, they have visited a fitness center where they had kickboxing and boxing. I have been interested in that for a long time, and seeing how much fun they had, them sharing their problems, etc., makes me actually want to look into it. Instead of just going on walks and photowalks. I want to do something else.

I went to the gym before, and I went there pretty much every day, but I had to quit because it was causing more problems mentally, and I couldn’t go there. So the gym is off the radar right now, but maybe later.

I have started to write a “food diary.” I have been against it my entire life. I thought it was ridiculous, but honestly, I need to, just to see, for example, which time of the day is worse, what I eat, etc. This time I’m going to try. Yeah, I know I talk a lot about weight loss, etc., but I have been struggling my entire life with weight problems (PCOS, genes, etc.).

Food diary ● look up boxing or some kind of workout activity ● Find a therapist to talk about my problems ● Work on my bulimia ● Work on my diabetes

So as you see, it’s a lot to do but I’m going to try.

Sunlight yet minus degrees Celsius outside

Sunlight, cold-biting cheeks and .. Just breathing

Today I have actually been out for a walk. I needed to get out of the home and clear my mind. So much is going on in my head and you all know me. photos is always taken!

Click on make bigger size (all off those)

Even when the sun was out and shone so beautifully, it was freaking cold. Now the winter is coming. They have already warned about snow—I am NOT ready for that!

My walk was just approximately 30 minutes; I wasn’t dressed properly, but at least I was out. Windy and biting feelings on my cheeks. Now I actually have a headache after the cold on my forehead. I forgot my headband—well, I didn’t think/know that I needed it. From now on I will use it.

Today’s dinner

Swedish sausage stroganoff with rice with vegetables,  boiled carrots, button mushrooms and onions.

Grocery shopping

I have also been to the store and bought all bran flakes, müsli, bananas, yogurt, etc. Just to keep up my “healthy” breakfast & before-bedtime snack—Turkish or Greek natural yogurt with muesli. I do need to buy frozen fruits, though, instead of using a bit of strawberry jam to get some flavor.

QUESTION..

Do you wish for recipes i try on my weightloss journey? Or do you have any recipes?

My recipes will not contain eggs & seafood . I don’t eat that

Focaccia with mozzarella and chicken | Honest Review.

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment
Icelatte Caramel and a Focaccia with mozzarella and chicken.

My best friend loves this Focaccia (foccafocca as I call it) and always order it when we hang out at the Café.  I try it, just a few bites and its alright. Today I ordered myself for the first time and ohmygod. I couldn’t eat the whole thing!

After few bites I had to throw it away. I’m sorry but you know the feeling “it grows in your mouth” if you either had too much of one thing or if something doesn’t taste good. Yup that’s what I got.

It’s very rich on flavors. The green pesto and the mozzarella is way to much. The bread with the green pesto taste likes garlic bread – yum. Except it’s too much on this “sandwich”. I want to like it but I can’t.

The ice latte tho 🤌🏻 chefs kiss. Unfortunately I discovered that my mug (the purple) is broken inside so icelatte were between the cup and it’s “shell”. So I had to throw that one away as well. It was my 2nd purple cup I had to throw away 😔

The ice latte is my to go to drink at this Cafe either extra caramel sauce. Yum!

Honest Review: Propud Protein Milkshake ; Popcorn Caramel

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment
I don’t know why the quality of the picture is so bad

After workout! Saw this one at the store (I love propud Milkshake Vanilla ice cream) so I decided to try it. Three reasons why I did it, 1. like I wrote earlier – I love their vanilla ice cream Milkshake 2. I love popcorn and 3. I love caramel. so I thought this combo would be perfect! the popcorn flavor with a combo of sweetness and caramel. Sounds delicious right? Salt and sweet. mm so good! best part is that it’s no added sugar, it’s lactose free and it contains 20g protein! me friend and I calculated that for me to lose weight I need 98g of protein (if that’s correct, we don’t know)

it’s easy to just grab for a quick drink when you gonna workout (before or after) and when you are kinda hungry but not really hungry. Haha!

REVIEW; ● Taste; you can definitely taste the popcorn and the caramel but the popcorn took over and the caramel gave a bad aftertaste. Not good. ● Look; small bottle – perfect on the go. Love the colors they used on it. ● Pricing; bit expensive for my taste. it cost almost $4 ● Would I recommend? Yeah! it fills your stomach if you are hungry. You can also have a banana before or after drinking it for longer fullness in stomach. This drink might be your cup of tea but for me it wasn’t but yes, I recommend it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 (three stars out of five)

the taste and pricing did so I gave it only 3 stars.

Honest review: Cult energy drink: Cosmic Raspberry

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment
I don’t know why the quality of the picture is so bad

Before I went to the gym the other day I went to the grocery store to by myself something to eat before working out (important plus my bloodsugar (I have diabetes) were low. I stumbled across this energy drink (note that I NEVER drink energy drink so I don’t know what happened to me at this moment) and thought I should try it. I like raspberries and first time I tried an energy drink I was 15 years old and haven’t drank one since so I thought I could try.

on my way to the gym I popped this one (after have eaten a banana) and I put it on one of those concrete block to take a photo (not this) ans the wind blew so it tipped over and spilled like 2/3 of the can – which was fine cuz I couldn’t drink the whole thing.

alright now to the review.

● TASTE; the taste was good! really good! tasted like sour raspberries and I like it. it was like sparkling raspberry lemonade ● ENERGIZED; not a damn thing. I felt no difference to be honest. Does anyone tho? ● LOOKS; like the color pink but that astronaut or what it’s supposed to be is kinda weird / creepy looking ● PRICE; it was on campaign right now so I cant say my thought of the price right now.

Would I recommend it? Sure. for the flavor but the rest? to be honest, no. not worth it.

⭐️⭐️ / 5 (two star points out of five)

disclaimer;  this is my opinion of the product. If you like it, awesome! iam not trying to change your opinion of this product or trying to force you to buy it. Never!!
