Christmas

... the most beautiful time of the year

hey everyone I' ve been absent for a few days but here I am again.
Todays post is about Christmas yeah. Well Christmas is only 4 days away and I know I've mentioned it already a thousand times but I'll be in London. yeah only 2 days to go!
I think that everyone loves to be at home for Christmas (or somewhere with somebody you love) because it is a family thing. Everyone recieves and give some gifts to the persons you love! I love presents but I don't care if it is a small or a big gift as long as I get something that comes from heart. I' ve already got a present (a giveaway) from Lifting-Fairy, Thank you I can't wait to test these Protein bars!
 I love wrapping gifts, that's the second reason why I love Christmas & of course I love decorating the Christmastree. I do it every year together with my parents. It is always funny because who has the same problem over and over again with these Christmaslights?? That annoying ''put the lights on that it doesn't look like you just threw it at the tree'' problem *hihi* 
Another good thing is that everybody well almost everybody is in a good mood and the food is sooooo delicious. When I am with my boyfriend at his place, his parents make such delicious menus that after I'm done eating I always feel like I just gained 10 pounds.
The decorations on Christmas markets and in the streets are sooooo beautiful and I just have to take pictures of everything. So I'll show you some pictures I took this year and some nice pictures are coming soon as a review of London!! So guys stay tuned.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and I ll send you some greets from London. Just follow me on my instagram ( I ll be active again on monday) ---> lauragetsfit.14

Here is the Giveaway I recieved from the lovely Lifting-Fairy. All products come from J-M-B Powerfoods
1. Christmasmarket in Echerternach (Lux) 2. Christmastree at my boyfriends place 3. Snow in Saarbrücken 4. Christmasamarket Lux. City



Our Christmastree, sorry for the bad quality but with lights it isn't that simple to get a good picture


MERRY CHRISTMAS

7 nights

... to go
Oh my gosh, I am alreday freaking out.. I ll tell you why!
Only 7 nights to go and I´ll be waiting for my flight at the airport with my boyfriend to fly to London. Our flight goes quite early at 6:55 a.m  & I am so excited. It is our 2nd vacation. 1st time was 2012 in Paris, we´ve been there for Christmas too 23-26.12.2012. After one year of relationship. And now we are already for exactly (yep I m very precise) 3 years and 5 days a couple and it is our 2nd vacation. This time we go to London ! 22-27.12.2014 & I think that it will be a wonderful Christmas even if I am not with my whole family. Michel is part of my family too. So we gonna send some pictures to our families hihi :P I can already see their jealous faces.



So I hope that the next 7 days will go by very quick because I can´t sleep in the evening and in the morning I ll not get up because I am way too tired. (lazy me, for once) But my days will start as usually at 6 a.m or 7 a.m. I ll do my breakfast and go to university and study. Wednesday is Legday ;D yeah, this is defnitely the best part of the week. But the word ´LONDON´is always on my mind. The little countdown of 7 nights decreases every hour, minut even every second. I have already been 2 times in London and I have to avoid it is the most beautiful town I´ve ever been to (but Paris is also amazing). I just love the English spirit. People are friendly, helpful and open minded.
So I hope that my boyfriend will love it as much as I do. He has never been to the UK, so I planned the entire trip. I just hope that everything will work as planned. Otherwise it will be all my fault. hahaha OH NO! No, I am just kidding everything will be fine.
If you wanna know what we will do on our trip just check out my other countdown post I made a few weeks ago.--- > here
So I ll show what I got to do the next days.

Tuesday
 University & some ´´homework´´ &I ll also reprint the maps for the vacation
Wednesday
Fitness at 8 a.m, University, work on my presentations in history which I have after the holidays, evening with the girls from the lovely four
Thursday
 My dad will pick me up with all my stuff I have to take with me to Luxembourg & I´ll work on my history papers
Friday
 I prepare and wash all my clothes & perhaps a little shopping tour with my boyfriend
Saturday
 packing my bags & being excited
Sunday
 pack the things I forgot to pack on saturday haha & we will check-in in the evening. AND I LL NOT SLEEP UNTIL 2 A.M haha (I already know)

yeah!! we fly at 6:55 a.m & London here we come
London at 6.am - 17.8.2010

Winter motivation

welcome to winterwonderland

It is already so cold outside, I´d love to cuddle up in a cosy comfy blanket and sit in front of the TV and never ever get up again. ( only for some christmas shopping and a walk in the snow).

Well that sounds good, right?

I think so BUT now in winter it is quite difficult to stay in shape and to be fit, because Christmas is only 13 days to go & New Years Eve only 20 and there will be so much food with tons of kcal and yummi deserts. You have one possibility  if you don´t want to put on weight. -> Eat NOTHING from all this yummi food hahah well, I won´t do that.

I will get my ass up an workout so that I can enjoy this delicious food. But in winter it is hard to be motivated I know. BUT I AM! :)

On monday it started to snow at my place yeah. But the snow is already gone. I decided that I´ll have a morningrun in the snow. But who knows that, you make plans and afterwards you do any of them, or you tell yourself : I´ll start tomorrow! and you never do it. It is hard to overcome your weaker self.

But on tuesday morning I got up early and I put on my sportswear and I went for a little morning run at the stadium. And that´s the result. Tadaaaaa. So it wasn´t that difficult.


It were only 27minuts but it is better than nothing at all, and as I said  it was quite cold so I was motivated.

I always tell myself:

If not now? when then?

or, come on run, afterwards you will be happy

In summer you will be happy that you worked your ass off

So yesterday I got up early and went to the gym at 8 a.m I´ven been the first. yeah. I was all alone for about 10minuts. After a little warmup it was time for a leg workout cause Wednesday is Legday. I am already excited for next Wednesday. hihi

I am finally again up to 35kg for the squats. I also trained my adductors and had my legpress and legcurl workout. After one hour and a half my gymtime was already over because university was waiting for me but I had an amazing workout. And I felt so damn great!

A December

Evening my lovely followers and readers. Well as everbody knows the year 2014 is almost gone. Only 21 days to go ! So you should try to make the best of it & make sure that you have a happy end in 2014 & a new story for 2015. But we all know that it will be a tough december as every year. Snow falls down, it is cold outside you have to put on scarfs and beanies and your fluffy winter coats. The busses are late and wherever you go there will be a crowd to make some Christmas shopping. Or already preparing stuff for Silvester.


I have to avoid that I simply love christmas and all the stuff around.
My December started quite good. I ll tell you a bit what I already did in this beautiful and full of emotions month.

1.December 
Well I made a post about 1st day of december so go and check it out here

2. December 
I had a great breakfast, made out of pancakes, alpro soja yoghurt and banana. The rest of the day was quite horrible (university). I had some lessons at 7 p.m yeah... To finish the day I had a delicious hot chocolate with some cinnamon.

3.December

The first snow came down by night, I was so happy & I couldn´t resist not taking some pictures and selfies. To be honest who can?

I celebrated with my girls from the.lovely.four Julia´s birthday.(Post on the blog)

4.December
My friend Mara had a sleep over at my place & with some good panckes in out stomach we had the most annoying and borig lesson ever...musicology.

5.December
Finally FRIDAY. Yeah but not for me. I had onther evening lession, but it was about St.Nikolas & Santa Clause and quite funny

6.December
University on a saturday morning and even afternoon. OMG, but the lesson was about some Christmas songs (most of them where horrible, I can tell you). I also made some window shopping in Saarbrücken city, while waiting for the bus. (I have to save my money fo damdamdam LONDON) But even tough I bought a new tea and it is delicious. (Perhaps I should write a post about tea)

7.December
I was with my boyfriend so it was just a great sunday with my love :) We´ve been a bit lazy and went to shopping mall and checked out the stuff they have for christmas. &&& I WON THE GIVEAWAY from lifting-fairy (post will be online soon so you can see what I´ve got)

8.Decmeber

Healthy Christmas Cookies

on a snowy wednesday.

hey guys! I already posted this one at my other blog but I wanted to publish it one both blogs. (take a look @ thelovelyfour)
It is cold outside and the first snow fell down this night, grab your beanies and scarfs and put your snowboots on because winter is coming and christmas is only 21 days away. Happy me!
So what would be more christmas like than baking cookies? Nothing, so check out my healthy cookies recipe to make your evenings perfect with some cookies and a good tea in front of the TV watching Christmas movies.

So this post is about a healthy cookie or muffins recipe for christmas. There is no sugar and no butter or oil in there. So they are very healthy. I´llnot talk that much about how much i love it to bake the time around christmas but I can tell you really like it.

So this time I wanted to have a little snack but a BAD one haha but then I decided that my snack should be healthy too and I created these cookies.


They look yummi. No?

material:

ingredients for 12 cookies

  • 1 tbsp backing powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk (take the milk you like the most,I took cowmilk )
  • 100 gr. apple sauce ( mine was homemade, below I´show you how you can do it on your own. you need 3-4 apples)

apple sauce
  1. peel your apples and cut them into small pieces
  2. fill your pot with  100ml of water put the apple pieces in
  3. let it boil on the mid level
  4. stir with a whisk for about 20min.
  5. you can add some cinnamon or some gingerbread spice
  6. let it cool down








cookies
  1. put all the ingredienst into a bowl and stir them
  2. take some muffin form
  3. put your dough into the forms some apple sauce and then again some dough
  4. heat your owen at 200 degrees and let cookies bake for 20-25min




and your healthy cookies are DONE

Meals & Grocery shopping

I am sorry that I did not post anything these last days. But today I got something for you.Well as you might know, I live alone in my flat in Saarbrooklyn. So I can do whatever I want but I also have to cook for myself everyday! Pehaps most of you think that it is boring to cook for yourself. But I have to say that I just LOVE it. Yes I really do, because I can cook whatever I want and nobody will eat my food *haha*. Everything is for me.

But first you have to go and do some grocery shopping. So let´s go! WAIT !
Did you make a shopping list? Well I don´t think so.

It is important that you think about what you wanna buy and that you write it down. If you don´t do it, you´ll go to the shop and buy whatever you can see and think ahh well this and this and this & in the end you´ve bought so much more than you wanted. And I bet that you bought so many crap for example cookies or some soda or some small chocolate bars !

  1. Sit down and take your time to write your list
  2. Plan your meals for the entire week (so you don´t have to go to  the grocery a second time) 
  3. Always buy some meat, fruits and vegetables an water!
  4.  Avoid to go past the chocolate and cookies section

Whenever you prepare your meals you should count the time in you need to prepare them. Preparation is the key ! So perhaps you can buy some boxes and prepare all your meals in one day and put them in your fridge. Now you don´t need to think anymore: What should I eat today and tomorrow? Here some inspiration and  what I love to eat in the evening.

UNI-FIT


Evening lovelies, well as I said my blog is also about my days through Fitness.

 Yeah Yeah everybody knows that fitness is expensive (at least in Luxembourg). So while I was at school in Luxembourg I never went to the fitness because in my opinion 50euros is way too much. And there was no fitness who was close to my village. ( I don´t have my own car)

BUT

when I came here to Saarbrooklyn for my Arthistory studies at Saarbrooklyn University I decided that I´ll start my fitness sessions. And I can tell you it was so easy! We have our own fitness at our university campus and it is for everybody. So I made a contract for 1 year and I only have to pay 18euro per month. No I didn´t write a mistake *hihi*. 

The first time I went to the fitness I had to pass an introduction and I got a trainer. Together we made a workout plan. And then I could start my workouts.

Today I only had a little workout because I´ve been sick the last days & as you know it is not that healthy to workout when you´re sick.

Therefore I´ll show you my fitness and some of my fitness stuff. 

I love going to my fitness, people a friendly, respect you and nobody makes fun of anybody who isn´t that good. 

As I always say 

--EVERYBODY HAS TO START SOMEWHERE--

The Countdown

took this picture 4 years ago


Well as I already mentioned I´m going to one of the most wonderful towns I´ve ever been ( I´ve been there already 2 times. 1st time in 2009 with school & 2nd time with my Best Friend in 2010)

I´ll just tell you a short version of the 2 first trips. Well, when we went there as a class it was quite ´boring´ we only did some school stuff and stayed there for 3 days so it was a short trip. But I enjoyed it. It was my second time in the UK and the first time in London and we went there by train YES with the eurostar the awesome train that goes from Calais (FR) to Dover (UK) through an underwater tunnel. We were quite long on the road.- 8hours.


2nd time was on my 17th birthday 2010. I totally freaked out. haha We flew from Luxembourg to the London City Airport. The flight didn´t take long. Only 60 minutes but it was something special for me because it was my first flight and the first time I´ve ever been in an airplaine. I loved it. When we arrived in London we stayed at the St.Georges In Victoria Hotel. It was nothing special because the entire vacation was last minut. We visited the usually things but not everything. Some things I loved was Madame Tussauds, Hyde Park and Covent Garden and of course a boat Trip on the Thames and of course the Big Ben.


But now lets come to the most important part!!

This year I ll go to London with my lovely boyfriend. We stay there 6 days, from 22.december-27.december. So we celebrate Christmas in London. I am so excited how the entire city will look like!
