How to stay motivated

Hi everyone !

A hard part when you are loosing weight is to stay motivated ! I read once that motivation is like bathing, it doesn't last and that is why we recommend it daily. And it is really easy to find motivation everywhere.

Here are some of my tips to stay motivated: 

First of all : BE POSITIVE ! And keep focusing on what you acheived already instead of focusing on what you still need to accomplish. Every pounds count, even if you only 0,5 or 1 pound a week. Be proud of yourself.

Do it differently: You need to change your training at least once a month. Because you will be bored and tired of doing 3 times a week the same thing all over again. Plus, some change will help you loose weight.

Get out of your confort zone: Try some different training : Crossfit, yoga, pilates, boxing, running outside, climbing stairs, hiking, rollerblades, bike etc. There is a lot of activities you can do to stay in shape: Find the one you love ! You can also try new things and push yourself. 

Keep focusing: Try to focus on your final objective, and think why you started this whole new lifestyle. 

Loosing weight is hard, but it is really a lifestyle change and you need to be ready to do that change and to do it for yourself !

What are your tips to stay motivated ?

• Drink champagne and enjoy it, hey it's my birthday :)

Strawberry & Ricotta Mousse

Receipe Time :)

Here is my first healthy receipe on the blog. I want to show you how to do a strawberry mousse with ricotta cheese. This is perfect for breakfast since it is sweet, full of proteins and delicious !

Really easy to make. 

Ingredients: 

1 cup of strawberry
2 tbsp of plain yogourt (Or vanilla)
2/3 cup of Ricotta cheese ( I use the light one)
1/4 cup of Splenda (or other no calorie sweetener) 

Portions: 2

What to do:

• Put a little bit of water in a pot and add the strawberry in it just to make them tender and soft. (The water needs to be hot to softened the strawberry.
• When the strawberry are really tender, put them (without the water) in a blender.
• Put all the others ingredients in the blender and start it. 
• When the preparation is soft pour it in two separate bowls.
• Put it in the fridge for a couple hours.

Enjoy :)
