5 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Exercise

inspirational-workout-quotes-swvrmo4x

There are so many ways to motivate your self. What you have to figure out is what works for you. Everyone’s different so what works for your friend may not work for you.

For example, no matter how hard I try, I cannot motivate myself to workout early in the morning. But my sister has no problem going for a five mile run at 5:30 am in the morning. Even in the winter! In New Jersey! By the waterside! That’s cold + wind. I’ll pass on that thanks.

I have found some ways to motivate myself and I’m now able to fit at least 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week. It took me YEARS to do this. I’m not over exaggerating. I’m the queen of excuses lol. If the weather’s bad I’d make an excuse. If I was sore from the previous days workout I’d make an excuse…

#FoodReview – Lunch @ ribs and rumps, Brisbane

Byebye 2015 welcome 2016 009

Wow the year 2015 flew by so fast, before we could say Jack, it was already 31st December, 2015.

2015 was no doubt a challenging year for me, my family and business and to a larger extent the whole world. Despite all odds, it is quite ok to be thankful and hopeful for a better 2016.

To round up the year, we decided to have a good lunch since we won’t be attending any of the fireworks in the city of Brisbane to welcome 2016.

Ribs and rumps Fortitude Valley, a bar & grill restaurant was a good choice for us since we had steak in mind. 

We arrived at the restaurant a little early before opening time but the place was all set and the friendly staff easily got a us a good spot despite our  not having a reservation (don’t mind me, I never remember to make reservations, I once got in trouble for that on mother’s day).

We ordered mocktail (cocktail without alcohol) for drinks.

It was cool and it had Lemon, Lime mint and some other stuff I can’t remember. 

 

Byebye 2015 welcome 2016 005

Mocktail Cost – $8.00

We got the grilled banana prawns as entree which was on the ‘to share’ part of the menu, oh my God this was finger licking. You should try it whenever you go to ribs and rumps.

Byebye 2015 welcome 2016 007

Grilled Banana Prawns (buttreflied then grilled with garlic and herb butter) Cost – $17.50

Then came the main meal which I was looking forward to. It came quite fast beyond my expectation, I am still trying to work out the kind of magic the chef did to make our meals that quick.

I ordered the 250g PINNACLE RUMP w/ SLOW-ROASTED LAMB RIBS with herb and garlic potatoes.Byebye 2015 welcome 2016 009

The lamb ribs was my favourite on this dish, It was succulent, tender and well cooked. It was literally melting in my mouth.

We also had Caesar salad to go with it. That was yum.

Byebye 2015 welcome 2016 010

This was a perfect way to round up 2015 and welcome 2016.

I recommend this restaurant for anyone who love to have a decent dining experience in #Brisbane.

The staff are friendly, hard working and full of smiles.

I scored this meal a 7 out of 10.

What To Eat in Hanoi (Part One)

Chocolate's avatarTho Loves Food

Hanoi is capital of Vietnam and beside authentic and traditional Hanoi food, you probably can find other delicious food of Vietnam in Hanoi, such as Northern ethnic minority’s cuisine, Central or Southern vibes…

I have been asked by many foreign friends about Food Recommendations in Hanoi. This list dedicated to everyone who did, do, and will visit our capital. My aim is to write and make a diversified and new version of Hanoi must-try food list, which is different with ones I have seen many times on social media or news.

This list is created based on food list’s suggestion of Shay (from Daluva), Ellie – my friend in food crime and my own list. (Recommended places here are subjective). Hope this post is helpful and informative for you guys, feel free to comment, I need motivation 😉

Breakfast shouldn’t be boring

 

I had oats and boiled eggs for breakfast but my oats was loaded with some healthy stuff giving it a kind of princely swag.

Let me show you how I made it.

First I added 3 cups of water to a cooking pot and placed on the cook top to boil.

Then I added two tablespoons of my premixed seeds comprising of chia, flax, sunflower seeds and cacao nibs.

I allowed this to boil for 5 minutes and I added 1 cup of oats which is enough for two.

 I stirred the oats and the existing seeds properly, then covered and left to cook for another 5 minutes.

I added 3 spoons of honey and stirred to mix properly.

I added 1/2 cup of blueberries and voila, breakfast was ready.

It was quite yummy.
