A Day in My Life

Today's post is a a day in a life with me 💗 This is a day in my early summer holiday in June. First, let's be honest here. There's never enough hours in the day no matter how you spend your day but I wouldn't have it any other way: I love my life as it is 💗 Now that summer is here I am truly living my best life: enjoying slow mornings or early walks in the forest, spending time with my munchkin, playing football, travelling, spending time in our boat and exploring new places... and the list goes on!

I love these "day in the life peeks" so much so I hope you'll enjoy this.

MORNING

I got into a wake up early habit a few years ago but I got off the groove somewhere and started again.. This morning I woke up just before 6 when my husband was leaving for work. As a result of this and especially the noise coming from downstairs as my husband was packing up, my son woke up as well. So I decided to get up too. I went for a little walk in the forest. The point of this was to wake me up for the day. In the mean while my son was entertaining himself.

BREAKFAST


They say that breakfast is the most important  meal and that suit just well for me because I never skip breakfast! You shouldn't too! I had some oat porridge, bread and an egg.
This day my son had a football camp so we left the house around 9.30 am.

WORK


I came back home and started to do a bit of work relating to my own business. I also enjoyed a cup of coffee. I know I shouldn't give into coffee as much as I have lately but this morning I couldn't resist 😉

DAYTIME/ WORKOUT


The day just whizzed past as we were spending time outside in our garden. My mother-in law visited us so we spent a lot of time with her. In the evening my son had another football training so me and my husband took a walk while he was in his practice. Therefore this day didn't include any real workout. Usually I have had football practices 2-3 times a week, plus a game on some weekends and I have been doing one HIIT training per week as well. 


I have been practising chin ups again 😊

This picture was taken from my morning walk.
healthy snacks are a part of my daily life.

That was pretty much a day in my life. 
As my summer holiday is quite long,  I started studying a web course (Terveyden Tukipilarit 4: hormonit) about hormones, adrenal fatigue, thyroid problems, PMS, fatliver and insulin resistance. So far this course has been pretty interesting and it has expanded my knowledge a lot.

Lots of positive energy into your day,

Jennikatja

I Quit Drinking Coffee and it Changed My Life

The U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says about 80 percent of U.S. adults take some form of caffeine every day. Accordingly, coffee is one of the most commonly used ingredients in the world. But caffeine does so much more than just keeping you awake.It’s a central nervous system stimulant that affects your body in numerous ways. So, let's talk about this and why drinking coffee might not be good for for you. While there has been numerous studies about the benefits of coffee, such as it increases alertness , lowers the risk of depression and reduces the risk of brain diseases , it has also negative effects on sleep and anxiety and it can cause headaches, panic attacks, adrenal fatigue, loss of energy, it can deprive minerals and vitamins from your body (read more on here ) As I mentioned before( here ), I quit drinking coffee last spring.

Why Are Cola Drinks So Addictive?

Did you know that in Argentina people drink the most soft drinks in the world? Their annual consumption is 155 liters per capita.  Not far behind is number two, the USA with 154 liters per capita. Americans are one of the largest consumers of the soda drinks in the world because of their modern lifestyle and high incomes. As it is very common to drink colas or other soft drinks but I have heard many people saying that they cannot stop drinking them. I started to wonder what is it that makes drinking Coca-Cola so addictive? Is it the caffeine, sugar or the artificial sweeteners? Besides what's the harm in drinking Coca-Cola? Below I will examine these three issues. Caffeine content The caffeine content in a 330ml serving of regular (sugar) Coca-Cola is about 32 mg. Compared to a a mug of coffee which contains 100 mg of caffeine that is a bit less. According to the Coca-Cola company the caffeine in their drinks is not addictive. However, if you are really sensitive to caffein...

VHH ruokavalio esimerkkejä: näin koostat vhh:n herkullisesti

Ketoilu on ollut pinnalla, mutta sen haittavaikutuksista on myös nykyään puhuttu enemmän. Itse suosin ketoilun sijaan vähähiilihydraattista ruokavaliota. Tässä postauksessa kerron miksi. Vähähiilihydraattinen ruokavalio on erinomainen valinta monista syistä. Tässä muutamia syitä, miksi vhh ruokavalio kannattaa: 1. Painonhallinta:  Vähähiilihydraattinen ruokavalio voi auttaa sinua saavuttamaan ja ylläpitämään terveellistä painoa. Kun vähennät hiilihydraattien määrää ruokavaliossasi, kehosi alkaa polttaa enemmän rasvaa energiaksi. Tämä voi auttaa sinua pudottamaan ylimääräisiä kiloja ja pitämään painosi hallinnassa. 2. Verensokerin tasapaino:  Vähähiilihydraattinen ruokavalio voi auttaa pitämään verensokerin tasaisena. Kun vältät nopeasti imeytyviä hiilihydraatteja, kuten sokeria ja valkoista viljaa, verensokerisi ei nouse yhtä nopeasti. Tämä voi auttaa välttämään verensokerin heilahteluja ja pitämään energiatasosi tasaisena koko päivän. 3. Energia ja keskittymiskyky:  Vähä...

Viimeinen hormonimyrsky: imetyksen lopettaminen

  Olen imettänyt lähes vuoden ja nyt tämä tie on tullut päätökseen. Imettäminen herättää paljon tunteita ja vaikka olenkin ollut onnellinen siitä, että olen pystynyt tarjoamaan molemmille lapsilleni parasta ravintoa, ei se ole aina sujunut ongelmitta. Usein pohdin, että pulloruokinnassa olisin päässyt "helpommalla". Kuitenkin molempien kanssa jatkoin imetystä sitkeästi ja näin jälkikäteen ajatellen onneksi niin tein 💗 Ehkäpä tämän vuoksi imetyksen lopettaminen kuopuksen kohdalla ei ollutkaan niin helppoa. Viimeiset imetyskerrat sijoittuivat rauhallisiin aamuhetkiin joten sen lopettaminen minulle olikin haikeaa. Miksi? Ehkä se oli se läheisyys ja tunne siitä, että se on sitten niin lopullista. Nautin, kun sain pitää vauvan vielä hetken aikaa rauhallisena vieressä. Lopulta tulikin päivä, jolloin tyttö heräsi mieheni kanssa enkä enää imettänytkään. Eilisen kerta olikin ollut tietämättäni viimeinen kerta. Mitä kehossani sitten tapahtui, kun imetys loppui? Pari päivää lopettamise...

5 Effective Weight Loss Drinks

When it comes to losing weight, there is a lot of different kinds of detox packages and weight loss drinks available.
