On a day trip out to an island we found an outdoor gym. Of course we had to try it out…

Of course training was a must while exploring Croatia… It was a pretty awesome feeling that after every set or rep I made, I could just simply look up and see the ocean view. It was like working out in the gym of paradise! Did an all over body training the last day I trained.

Another thing I noticed at this gym was that everyone was stuck in the 1980's! The Croatian young gals would be training and stretching like they were Jane Fonda in the 1980's and the Croatian guys doing Spartucs workout methods. Pretty cool actually. Did I mention the choice of music? Yea. Also 1980's… Seems like they simply trained for tonification of the muscles. No big meaty guys here. If anything, Chris was considered the Hulk there, well compared to the other guys! LOL!

Walked 25 mins of a scorching 100 degrees weather to the gym daily… (well worth it though – didn't mind the extra FAT BURNING!!!)

Pink Flowers =D

Here we are… Had green tea the entire walks. Good for FAT BURNING!!!

Some TRX Training

Did some biceps, chest and lunges…

We workout not to look better than others but to look better than we did yesterday! TRAIN AND LOVE TOGETHER!

My hubby enjoying his daily workout

The beautiful island of Lopud is situated northwest of the city Dubrovnik and is a part of the Elafiti islands. We took a boat and sailed for an hour just to get to this beautiful Island. My 2nd favorite island! Only 220 inhabitants! Enjoy!

Entering Island of Lopud…

Harbor Entrance…

Isn't lovely?

Chris and his Pirate Ship… All I could say was "Ay, ay Captain!" LOL!

Pirate Ship o_O

And the Pirate Ship again =p

Sunsets at the harbor were simply beau!

That's right, got my own boat here…

And my own Caffe Bar too =D

We recently got back from an amazing 1 week trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia! My 1yr anniversary gift from my hubby <3 I can't say it was the best anniversary gift, since its our 1st yr only, but I can say we had an amazing time there! These were the shots the amazing photographer of my husband got! These 1st couple of pics were in the cities of Cavtat, Dubrovnik, the Islands of Lokrum and Lopud… Enjoy! More pics coming daily =P

View point of Dubrovnik… The medieval city wall is 2.2 kilometers and wraps around the old town…

The 1st thing I prepared us for our first day in our Ocean View apartment! Delicious organic fruit! Yummy!

Has everyone got there Body Magazine? The Talangjakten 2013 crew is in it! Yea for us! How exciting!

I absolutely love lunch time! I love eating lots of greens and fresh foods at this time of the day… Here I have red and green leaf salad mix, haricots verts, and boiled egg whites. I eat lots of vegetables to get as much nutrients and energy I can from them. And since I'm training afterwards, its very much needed. I also love to drink fresh, cold, natural green tea (for extra fat burning during the day) Also, don't forget that its important to take Omega 3's! The body lacks the ability to self-produce fatty acids on its own. Vegetables don't provide the same effect as Omega 3 pills do… So grab yourself a bottle ;D

Summer lunch on my balcony…

What we all do is possible for anyone else to copy… Except one thing. Your TRUE PASSION for something. To just go through life without a strong feeling, a genuine interest for something or someone, must feel quite empty in the long run. What is life worth if you don't fight for something, believe in something, or even devote yourself to something? Then the days simply just go by.

I have also noticed that when you're really passionate about something, you will automatically become more energetic and focused in your everyday life. I think it's very important for everyone to find their true passion, whatever it may be…

Fitness… One of my true passions!

God Morgon!

So I've come to realize that life is now seriously MEANINGLESS without my Strawberry with blueberry Protein Pancakes.

The first time I made them the taste was PHENOMENAL, AMAZINGLY, DELICIOUS! Need I say more? Now that I prepare them though, I don't know what they even taste like anymore because I literally swallow them whole! Haha! They're just soooo gooood! It's hard to chew and breathe at the same time. Its like I just want to scarf them down immediately! You guys must try them! That's an order! Bahahahahaha!

However, they're a great source of energy and power for me on leg day. This meal is packed just with the right amount of carbs and the best whey protein I need on such TREACHEROUS day!

Ingredients:
1 Scoop of Nanox Neutraceutical Strawberry Whey
2 dl of Havre Gryn Oats
2 egg whites
1 1/2dl – 2dl of fat free milk (Your call. Just calculate enough to make a smooth, creamy pancake batter mix)
(Optional) 1/2 dl – 1dl blueberries (good for 3-4 small pancakes)
– Mix it all up and pour some batter on a hot, olive oiled skillet. Sprinkle as many blueberries as you want as the first top of your pancake is cooking on the skillet and cook for about 2 mins. Flip over and repeat for another 2 mins or until golden brown and enjoy life's healthy deliciousness! Så, varsågoda mina vänner!

On my rest day we decided to pay a visit to my husbands parents in Dalarna. The weather couldn't have been better! We had a great grill for lunch! We packed our selfs with loads of protein and nutrient densed veggies! Later, we went to what I like to call the "Hultgren Farm" to pick strawberries, smultron, and salad from my in laws organic garden…

Summer nights in Dalarna, Sweden…
