Remember my 2015. Beauty Agenda? Well, if you do remember you'll know that my resolution number one was to adopt a new, healthy approach to life, food and exercise. I know most New Year's resolutions go out the window as soon as we hit February but I was actually dead serious about this. Since the start of the month I've been changing what I eat – slowly, but surely. What was the biggest problem for me, I think, was that night shifts completely turned my metabolism upside down and perhaps the problem numero uno was what I ate while at work. Takeout was a thing of habit and I caught myself eating junk out of pure boredom. And I caught myself on more occasions than I'd like to admit. Now I'm making healthy lunch boxes with me every time I go to work. Sugar is also my biggest enemy next to pasta and I'm trying to reduce their intake. I reckon that change of food is going to be the hardest thing for me and last night I had a moment during which I've shed a tear to honor all those pizzas and spaghettis with bolognese I'm not going to eat. Seriously, I had a moment of clarity when I realized that I'm changing my lifestyle for good and it kinda is a big deal. Case in point – I've joined a gym for the first time in my life. That's huge for me! Today's my first day and I'm actually very excited to go and I've purchased my workout/running gear and I've prepared a playlist that'll keep me going while exercising. I'm not scared of the gym and no, I honestly don't give a damn about showing up with no make-up on my face. I already go to work frequently sans make-up so that's not a big deal. I'm only a bit wary of my mind playing tricks on me when it gets tough as I approach my current limits. I'm hoping I'll stay motivated and determined because the biggest thing I want is to be healthy and fit as I was two-three years ago. Sure, I also want to look my best but health is most important. My husband will be my fitness coach as he's into this clean, healthy lifestyle quite intensely for over six years. And he knows my weaknesses. And when I'm faking that I cannot do something because I'm lazy/spoiled. I know that he's the only person who can push me to my limits and I trust him to help me out. Hopefully I'll be persistant with this and I really hope that you'll be interested in my progress. I'll document everything here at the blog and at my Instagram account because there's nothing more powerful than an image – you know that saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Cross your fingers for me girlies, this isn't going to be easy but I'll do my best!
Sjecate li se mog Beauty Planera za 2015. godinu? Ako se sjecate, znati cete da je odluka broj jedan za 2015. godinu bila da usvojim novi, zdravi pristup zivotu, hrani i nacinu zivota. Svjesna sam da vecina novogodisnjih odluka izleti kroz prozor cim stigne mjesec februar i ponestane onog prvobitnog entuzijazma ali vjerujte mi da sam u vezi ovoga bila jako ozbiljna. Od pocetka godine pazim na to sta unosim u svoj organizam sto mi je posluzilo kao priprema za nesto ozbiljniji pristup koji sada nastupa. Ono sto je, mislim, bio veliki problem za mene jeste cinjenica da su mi nocne smjene u potpunosti poremetile organizam ali mozda najveci problem jeste ono sto sam jela dok sam na poslu. Narucivala sam nezdravu, masnu hranu sa kolegama doslovno svaki dan i jela sam iz ciste dosade, cak kada nisam ni bila gladna. I uhvatila sam se da to radim cesce nego sto sam spremna priznati. Sada unaprijed pripremam zdrave obroke koje sa sobom nosim u posudama na posao. Secer je takodjer moj najveci neprijatelj uz tjesteninu i, polako ali sigurno, smanjujem njihov unos. Mislim da ce promjena ishrane za mene biti najteza jer imam ustolicene navike a navike je moguce ali nekada tesko promijeniti. Sinoc sam u jednom momentu dozivjela ‘prosvjetljenje’ – napokon mi je sinulo da mijenjam nacin zivota za 360 stepeni a na TV-u je bio kanal 24Kitchen (tko zna, razumjeti ce). Mislim da sam pustila oprostajnu suzu u cast svim picama, dezertima i spagetima bolonjeze koje necu jesti. Jos jedna stvar koja ide u prilog promjenama – uclanila sam se u teretanu po prvi put u svom zivotu. To je za mene ogromna stvar! Ustvari, danas mi je prvi dan kako pocinjem i da budem iskrena, jako sam uzbudjena i jedva cekam da pocnem – osjecam navalu adrenalina od same pomisli! Pripremila sam se tako sto sam kupila opremu za treniranje/trcanje i na mobitelu me ceka spremna lista pjesama koje ce da me motivisu. I ako se mozda pitate – ne, uopste se ne plasim teretane u smilu ‘biti cu vidjena bez sminke’. Svakako se vec osmu godinu cesto pojavljujem na poslu bez sminke tako da mi to nece biti problem. Ono cega se bojim jeste da mi um ne pocne praviti izgovore kada god se pocnem priblizavati trenutnim tjelesnim ogranicenjima. Stvarno se nadam da cu i u tim momentima ostati motivisana i fokusirana jer je moja najveca zelja da budem ponovo zdrava i fit kao sto sam bila prije dvije-tri godine. Naravno i da zelim izgledati sto bolje ali zdravlje je na prvom mjestu. Suprug ce mi biti fitness trener jer iskreno ne mogu da se sjetim bolje i kvalificiranije osobe od njega posto je on moja susta suprotnost. Covjek je u svijetu fitnessa i prakticira zdravu prehranu i zivotne navike sa (licno mogu posvjedociti) nevjerovatnom predanoscu preko sest godina. Takodjer, najbolje me poznaje. Najbolje ce znati kada foliram i poznaje moje slabosti a da ne govorim navike. Posto znam da cu pokusati vrludati, znam da je jedina osoba koja me moze pogurati do granica i pomoci mi da postignem sto zelim. Zabiljeziti cu i dokumentovati svoj napredak kako na blogu, tako i na svom Instagram profilu posto vjerujem da i dalje vrijedi ona da slika vrijedi hiljadu rijeci. Nadam se da cete biti zainteresovane za ovakvu vrstu postova i da cete me pratiti i na tom polju. Drzite mi fige – ovo nece biti lagan posao ali dati cu sve od sebe!
