New tights review

Hey fitfam,
I was looking for new tights but as I don´t have that much money at the moment to buy some new fancy nike stuff I was looking for something pretty cool and cheap. Then I found on the lovely instagram account of----> pia_fit03 <----an picture of awesome pink tights. I asked her where she bought them and the answer was H&M so I went immediately to the store and bought them. 
The other day I had to test them and I have to tell you as they only cost 20euros I am quite happy they are very comfy. They keep my legs warm and they look fancy. Another important thing for me is that they don´t slip up/down and as they are high waist they fit perfectly. I tested them while doing 10km on the stepper and afterwards a little leg session.
Test: passed 
They fit to my shoes and all my other fitness stuff so I am happy that I bought them.

Vegan blueberry muffins

Hey peps well todays post is something yummi and healthy.
I had one of my " I wanna bake something and try my new flower & heart silicon molds right now" days. So I was thinking which cookies or muffins I love but aren't so healthy. I chose Blueberry muffins. I found a vegan recipe but I didn't like it that much so dam daaaaam I changed it. I took the two molds and made additionally 6 blueberry muffins so the recipe is for about 12 muffins.So here we go.

For about 12 muffins you need:
  • 175 gr shredded oats
  • 50 gr spelt flour
  • 3-4 Tsp stevia
  • 1 1/2 Tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 Tsp vanilla
  • 150 ml soy milk / almond milk
  • 125 gr blueberries or strawberries
  • 1 Tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (if you want marbled muffins)
  • 1-2 Tsp Some fresh lemon juice 

 Preparation:
1. mix all the ingredients (except the blueberries) and stir them
2 .add softly the blueberries
3. heat your oven to 190°
4. bake your muffins for about 10-15 min.

story of a fighter

Todays post is all about how I started with sports.
When I was 9 I started athletics and here I have to thank my best friend Valerie. She was the reason why I started. As we were best friends we wanted to spend more time together and she was already in the team so she said: Well I ll take you to a training session and if you like it you can start too. And so it was I was fascinated from the very beginning! My mum bought me my running colthes and I started to train. But first I had to ask my pneumologist  as I suffer from very strong asthma. He only said yes under one condition:

If once in a run I´d have an asthma attack I must stopp immediately.
Carole, my Best friend Valerie &on the right me
 Haha guys look at my shoes OMG this was one of my very very fisrt competition.
 When I started I never believed that I would become a good athlet / runner. In my first year I did well but in my second I was in a beast mode. While the crosses in winter the badest placement I made was 4th but still 3rd Luxemburgish runner. So I did great and earned some medal which I stil have hanginh in my room. But never won... but it wasn´t that important to me. I had so much fun and it was my passion I was heart over head all in.
Then I my 3rd year I was asked to join the National Athletics Team. I was so happy and of course I said yes! So first I had to pass a test (it was to go to a sportschool but I failed...I didn´t got in, I missed 9 points) but they accepted me in the National Team. I joined the middle distance runner afterwards I changed to the sprinter team. I trained every day of the week. monday at school, tuesday with the national team, wednesday I lifted weights with my athletics tea and on thursday I trained at the stadium with the team Friday again a training with the national team, saturday I had running sessions with another team I was in called ´Runningteam´ and  Sunday oh Sunday was again lifting weights. So i have to say I lived for this! 
But it wasn´t always that easy I had a knee injury for  8 months. I think this was the most horrible thing ever. The docs didn´t know what to do so I had to take a break. No more trainings, fitness sessions and races even at school I was only allowed to go swimming so I went swimming like 3-4 times a week !. But I haven´t been a middle distance runner I also became a good hurdler and did well. I LOVED IT. (I was so passionated that I did training sessions of 3hrs, I often was the last one who left the stadium)
But sadly I left the national team because my trainer didn´t motivate me, he even told me that I wasn´t good (haha well why the hell was I in the team? ) But I went my own way and reached what I wanted without him. After 7 years I had to stop because my team wasn´t the same anymore, trainers left and all this wasn´t the same anymore. But I regularly went for a run and played basketball in a team haha. I am definetly not able to play in a team.

I can tell you I had a lots of asthma attacks and even fainted once in a race but I got my damn ass up and ended it. Even my trainer once wanted to take me out of a race because it pushed myself to my limits that my mum though if I wouldn´t stopp immediatly Iwould be hospitalized but I pushed my trainer away & didn´t stop. I never ever gave up on one race.

Since April 2014 I go to the gym and never felt better!

The boy who lived

magic conquered my heart 15 years ago (take a look until the very end)

hey followers well I´ve been absent for some time but I wasn´t lazy. I made a trip to one of the most beautiful and breath taking museum I have ever been. I gonna show you where I´ve been but first I have to tell you something. One half of my heart has been conquered by sports & a good and almost healthy lifestyle and the other half is full of magic and fantasy. Yes I have to confess that I somehow believe a little bit in magic. That´s why my absofuckingloutely favorite books are the 7 Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. Whoever says this is bullshit has no culture.. sorry I really can´t understand people who doesn´t like these books but everybody has his own opinion. My quote is.

The people who don´t believe in magic will never find it.

So the German book came out in 1999 and I was 6 years  old so I couldn´t read that good but I always tried and the first real book I read was Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone. I was so upset with the story that I always got the book as soon as it came out in german. They becam quite quickly my favorite books & I swear I ve read them already 14 times each, exept the 2 last ones I´ ve read them only´ 4-5 times.
I can tell you I am heart over head all in!
I even can´t explain how much I love the story. In every book there is such a suspence and they are written with so much love. (As you know J.K.Rowling wasn´t very rich and she told their kids this story and they are / were the reason why she wrote it down) Everytime I read the books I have it on my mind that this was once a good night story and became one of the most reading story in the world!
(There is something I like to tell you, I once asked myself what I love most in my room and the answer was/is my Harry Potter books and I was once thinking about what I would rescue if our house was burning down- if my family and my pet were already safe & the answer was: my Harry Potter books) I know this is crazy and I know that everbody knows that I could walk into a bookstore and buy new books but that´s the point!
It wouldn´t be the same feeling reading them again...
In my opinion everytime your read a book it changes and everytime you open/close it, it becomes thicker. The book is filled with your thoughts and memories and your ideas how this wonderful world could be.



This Christmas I was in London with my boyfriend and we visited THE MAKING OF HARRY POTTER in Leavsden/Watford. It is little 1 hour ride. We took a bus from Golden Tours which whom we drove to the museum. As in the 3rd Harry Potter movie we went there with a doppel decker bus yeah! 



After 1 hour we arrived in front of the Museum and only seeing this was incredible! I think I have never been so happy! I was so excited and it was unbelievable.

I think you can see how happy we were!
So we entered the museum and I was so amazed, the first minuts I didn´t realized that I was really at the place where the actors lived there for 10 years! We were lucky because we arrived 1 hour before the entrance time but I asked if we could go in one hour earlier & they let us in. So we had 3hours for the tour!

1st we came into a room where they explained us how the idea was born to make a film of each book and who took part in these. Then we entered a cinema room where they showed us a little film. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint told us some facts for e.x that they went to school in the studios for 10 years and that 17´000 people made the wand boxes in Olivanders shop and that every box is unique and placed by every member.

After the film the screen rolled up and we were in front of the doors to the great Hall and I really felt like going to my first year in Hogwarts.

Welcome to Hogwarts

When I came into the next room my heart stopped for a second it was so overwhelming! A dream came true, I was standing just in front of Hogwarts... I was speechless and happy and confused and so on ! Just take a look at these and take a deep breath! 
& please listen to this song while you take a look at the castle (they played it there too)
click here 











I was sitting for 20 minuts in front of the castle and as I had no words to say my heart spoke for itself & I have to avoid that I was crying because I was still so overwhelmed.
As you can se we are quite small camparison with the castle

& here the last room of the exhibition
These a wand boxes and they are all unique and as I already mentioned 17´000 people took part in this. (think about it)



Last but  not least J.K.Rowlings words before my post comes to an end and the exhibition is over.
