Now I want to describe in detail what I do everyday to be slim, toned, strong and healthy. My starting point is that I have room for a long morning, because I have no job. In the other end I go early to bed.
Waking up
I wake up at approx. 6 am, because I go to bed at 10 pm. First I probably need to pee. Next I measure my blood pressure, before too many thoughts makes it to my head.
Finally I weigh myself and drink a glass of cold water and eat a banana. The cold water helps awaken the body and the banana is what I need to be able to train without any stomach-problems.
Training
Next I start with my daily training, which take min. 1 hour to finish. Read about it in detail here.
Breakfast
I start eating my breakfast as fast as possible after my training. Usually within few minutes. In this way I take advantage of the extra amount of calories burned just after a workout. My breakfast consists of:
- 1 glas of water
- 3 pills with fish oil
- 1 vitamin pill
- 2 pieces of crispbread with a layer of cottage cheese(1,5%) and crunchy peanut butter between. It sounds a bit weird, but it tastes fine, and I am looking forward to it every single morning.
- 1 piece of chocolate 70-85%
- 1 bowl of youghurt(0,1%-0,5%) w. mysli(Granola). The yoghurt is sweetened with sweetener derived from the Stevia-plant and spiced up with a little bit of vanilla powder.
Everything mentioned is – where it makes sense – bought with as low content of fat, salt and sugar as possible.
Snacks
At 10.30 AM and 3.30 PM I eat a piece of fruit or vegetables and a little hand of nuts. Sometimes I make a smoothie instead.
Lunch
At lunch I eat 3 pieces of fiber-rich bread with pieces of cold cuts. The cold cuts can be:
- 1/2 can of tuna with oil that is mixed with salt, pepper and citrus.
- 1 piece of cod roe. Maybe a spiced/smoked variant and with remoulade on top.
- 1 fish ball with remoulade.
- 2 slices of chicken or turkey filet..
- 2 slices of lean and possibly smoked ham.
- Avocado puree mixed with cottage cheese.
- Smoked mackerel or salmon
I will eat a piece of fruit or vegetable, if I am still hungry after this.
Dinner
I eat my dinner at 6 pm and it consists of one of the following:
- TV-dinner(one of the actual healthy variants)
- 1 bag of mixed vegetables heated in the micro or on a pan.
- 1 pck. of vegetable-spaghetti with Stevia-ketchup.
- 1 deli salad.
- 3 spring roles.
- Something special if it strikes me 🙂
Again will eat a piece of fruit or vegetable, if I am still hungry after this.
Relaxation and good night
After 8 pm I stop with activities in front of the computer or TV. Instead I do something house hold related, and make myself ready to go to bed.
Before 9 pm I am all ready to go to bed. I end the day by opening a window in my bedrom to get som fresh air inside and after that I sit/lie and relax with the light switched of. It can be with meditation, massage in a massage chair or laying on a surface with needles. This is done to prepare the brain and body to go to bed, and thereby optimize the sleep and make the body recover faster during the night, so it is read for training the next morning.
To sleep
Usually I walk to bed as a Zombie at 10 pm. This time is chosen because the body recovers best in the first hours after that.
