Power Smoothie Bowl

The weather was so beautiful yesterday, that I decided to meet my friend in town. We first went for a walk down to the port. After that we ate some lunch in a really nice cafe. Then we walked down the street and we saw that there was an open art gallery, so we looked at some really nice art. The artist painted paintings that had a hidden face somewhere in the painting. Later we worked out, we ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes and after that we did some yoga. Afterwards a friend invited us to join a movie night, we watched some really funny movies. Overall it was a really nice day.

I had a cold last week and this smoothie bowl definitely helped me getting better. It provides many important vitamins, that I really needed to get better. It is super easy to make and you don't have to stand hours in the kitchen.

Put all the ingredients in a mixer until it is smooth. Fill the smoothie in a bowl and cut the banana and the kiwi in thin slices. Put the kiwi, banana, granola and the blueberries on top of the smoothie.

Avocado on pumpernickel

Last week when we worked out, one of my friends showed us a video from a women that creates workouts and posts them on youtube. We tried a 6 minute workout and it was really effective, because the next day my mussels where very stiff, but it was worth it! She showed everything and explained it very clear. If you want to try some of her workouts, you can find her on youtube under Blogilates.

I really enjoy eating this not only because it is super healthy, but also because it is very delicious!

Ingredients (For 10 slices):

• 1 small avocado 
• 10 slices pumpernickel 
• 3 small tomatoes 
• salt & pepper 

Instructions:

Start with smashing the avocado until it is a smooth paste. Cut the tomatoes and the pumpernickel into thin slices. Spread the avocado evenly over all the pumpernickel. Put the tomatoes on top and sprinkle some salt and pepper over it. 

Motivation

Motivation is very important for me, because I get very fast unmotivated when something is not like it's supposed to be. To stay motivated I printed some very motivational quotes out and put them all over my room.
One quote that motivated me a lot is:

A few weeks ago I recently started thinking about whether or not I am happy with my daily life. I then came to the conclusion that I should change something about it. This weekend I started redesigning my room. I will start woking out more and to concentrate on school. I think that I should improve my planning skills, because for the last few weeks I have been doing everything last minute, but it was because I haven't been motivated at all to change something. As I was thinking about what I could do to get motivated, I thought to myself, what better way than waking up everyday to these motivational quotes. Now I wake up every morning with a burning desire to do something with my day.

Last week I went with a friend to the fitness club and we set ourselves one goal. The goal was to train biking for half a year and at the end of that year we wanted to be able to bike for 30 minutes. The first time we started biking I was exhausted after 10 minutes. The second time we went to the gym to bike was two days after that. We started biking and this time we listed to music. This music motivated us so much, that we both continuously biked for 30 minutes, non stop. We were so exited, that we changed our goal to 1 hour. We will start working out, five times a week, with two times only biking. I will make my own playlist for woking out, so if you would like to listen to it, I will put the link on my twitter and Instagram account in a few days.

So overall I believe that motivation is a very important part of everyones daily life.
