HEALTH: WHAT I EAT IN A DAY

EN:

I have decided to take you with me on my fitness journey and show you what I eat in a day!

If you have read this article and if you have been following my Instagram stories, then you know that I have started working out again. Also, what I eat in a day has changed a lot.

I am planning to change my approach a bit, as far as my articles are concerned. I have noticed that up until now I would only give you certain pieces of advice, I would serve you directly the lesson, completely omitting the whole story behind them. Thus I have decided to become a lot more transparent with you guys, and share with you my whole journey, with both its ups and downs.

Therefore, I am super pleased to announce a new Category on the blog: HEALTH.

As you know, my posting schedule is the following:

Monday – Fashion article
Wednesday – Beauty article
Friday – sharing one of my favorite old articles
Saturday – Video of the Week on my Facebook page
Sunday – Surprise Article

From now on, on Wednesday you can expect to read either a health related article or a beauty article.

Today’s article is part of the Health category, and it is about my eating habits after starting to go to the gym again.

Health

The first thing that I am going to say is the fact that gym has really changed my life you guys. Now, before you say that I talk too much about this subject after only 2 days of working out, allow me to tell you that I have more than one year of experience at the gym, so now you can trust me. 😛 It hasn’t been a groundbreaking change, I didn’t become vegan or completely quit sugar and only eat broccoli. But the differences really are noticeable: I feel more energized, happier and motivated.

Another thing that has changed is what I eat in a day and how much I eat. Obviously, when you exercise you consume more energy, so I have started eating a bit more ( yes, even after only 2 days back at the gym ). And I have also become more mindful of what I eat. You will understand more once we move on to what I eat in a day.

It is well known that a good habit attracts other good habits. On the contrary, bad habits attract other bad habits, obviously. As far as I am concerned – and it happens to everybody, it is a rule – after starting to exercise, you become more careful with other aspects of your life also. “I have worked out for one hour! Why would I have this cookie now? It’s going to ruin it!” – understand what I am saying?

All that being said, here is what I eat in a day ( more specifically, what I ate yesterday ):

First meal:

My first meal varies every day. It is the largest meal of the day and it usually consists of a soup and a main dish ( e.g. vegetables soup + chicken breasts + mashed potatoes ). I do not have a picture of yesterday’s meal.

Post-workout smoothie:

I always like to eat after a workout, and a smoothie is my favorite post-workout snack. Here is the one from yesterday:

Second meal:

I am trying to eat as many vegetables as possible every day, and this meal is a simple way that allows me to do that:

Recipe:

Add coconut oil to heated pan
Add frozen vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, peas, corn
After the veggies start cooking properly, add onion
Add salt and pepper
I have also added some feta cheese in the pan at the end

Healthy and delicious! 😀

If you try any of the recipes above, make sure to send me the pics or tag me (@alexandra_bulac on Instagram, bulac_alexandra on Twitter), and let me know if you liked this “what I eat in a day” article or not!

Thank you guys for reading, and see you on Sunday at 8:00 PM with the Surprise Article! If you have any other questions, you know where to find me! 😉

RO:

În cazul în care mă urmăriți pe Facebook, Twitter sau Instagram, știți că de câteva zile m-am reîntors la sala de fitness, după cum am povestit și în Articolul Surpriză de duminică.

În ceea ce privește articolele pe care le scriu, am decis să schimb puțin modul de abordare. M-am gândit mai bine și am realizat faptul că de cele mai multe ori v-am prezentat o lecție finală. Și anume: eu am învățat un anumit concept, iar aici pe blog am prezentat doar rezultatul, omițând complet întreaga poveste. Așadar, din acest moment voi fi mai transparentă în ceea ce privește călătoria mea de învățare a diverselor lucruri pe care doresc să le împărtășesc și cu voi.

Acestea fiind spuse, sunt încântată să anunț o nouă categorie pe blog: SĂNĂTATE ( HEALTH în meniul din pagina principală ).

După cum știți deja, programul postărilor mele este următorul:

Luni – articolul de Fashion
Miercuri – articolul de Beauty
Vineri – repostez pe Facebook unul dintre articolele mele preferate ( mai vechi )
Sâmbătă – ”Video of the Week” pe pagina mea de Facebook
Duminică – Articolul Surpriză
