Ollaan viimeinkin päästy viettämään koko perheen lomaa ja lähdettiinkin heti ajelemaan veneellä kohti Kuopiota. Oltiin reissussa veneellä viikko ja se teki todella hyvää. Veneellä ollessa pääsee lomafiilikseen täysin ja pystyy unohtamaan tekemättömät askareet. Lisäksi rakastan liikkua luonnossa ja jo siksikin veneellä olo on ihanaa: saa olla ulkona ja saa raitista ilmaa 24/7. Myös meidän poika on fiiliksissään näistä reissuista. Häntä kun ei saisi veneeltä pois millään 😀 Mitäs me sitten veneellä puuhaillaan? Pääasiassa uidaan, saunotaan, kävellään metsässä, marjastetaan, syödään hyvin, kalastetaan, luetaan, rentoudutaan ja vietetään aikaa yhdessä. Veneily on mukava harrastus ja siihen jää helposti koukkuun. Veneillessä myös tapaa mukavia ihmisiä ja pääsee tutustumaan aivan mahtaviin "salaisiin" paikkoihin siis erilaisiin saariin, joihin ei ilman venettä pääsisi. Tässä muutamia kuvia matkaltamme.

This is something I intent to add in my daily life now that I'm back in business.  Back to the topic at hand.. As I was saying about social media, it's interesting how you get a certain picture of someone based on social media. For instance I usually post healthy food pictures because I want to inspire people to eat healthy and I live as I preach. Having said this, I still indulge and I have a sweet tooth. The other day my colleague was surprised as I was having a donut with my tea at work. It made me laugh and I realized that do most people actually think I don't eat "unhealthy" food? The reason why I normally...

In my opinion what makes a person successful in losing weight is the person's motivation and determination. If you are determined to succeed you will succeed. No one can decide on your behalf, the initiation must come from you. After that comes the methods which you will choose. If I were to say what is the most important thing when trying to lose weight, it would be meal prepping . This really is the key to success. When you plan before hand all your meals, you have no choice but to succeed!By choosing healthy ingredients and preparing dishes over these, you don't need to count calories. At the end of the day what it comes down to is to eat basic nutrient dense food. It might sound boring but it's the truth. You don't need expensive superfoods, protein supplements,"magic pills" or weight loss drinks. Moreover, you don't have to think about your macros or how to divide them through your day. Planning your meals so that vegetables and whole food grains...
