More blonde selfies

Baking yummy weekend treats

Made Oreo cupcakes this weekend 
Was a success! 

Piping with the Oreo bits in the icing was abit tricky as it tend to get stuck in my nozzle but it all worked out in the end

17 weeks out ~

Today is 17 weeks out! 
The nerves are setting in but at least that gets my ass up to go to the gym and stop me from putting bad food into my mouth 

Im gonna introduce a new workout day into my split today, it will be hammie day! 
My hamstrings are much weaker that my quads so i'll be using today to focus on that hamstring- glute tie in 
Some workout will also hit the glutes so i'm excited about that
Gotta get that peach to growwww 

2 more weeks till I start my diet with my coach 
but so far i think i've lost most of my holiday fluff
Feeling pretty good not craving too much carbs now that i've increased it 

Macro percentages are 40% protein 40% fat and 20% carbs 
Even though carbs are 20% I feel like its still enough I'm not dying for a refeed day
But I shall still refeed tomorrow since we'll be having a lil birthday celebration!
Shall get some cardio in today too so I dont feel too bad about eating bad tomorrow 

thats all for now

A typical Nicole diet

Here is how a typical days diet is for me when im not on keto or carb cycling

Meal 1 - Breakfast
1 egg , half cup of egg white omelette
with smoked salmon and handful of spinach


Meal 2 - Snack
Low carb high protein greek yougurt

Meal 3 - Lunch
Chicken thigh fillet cooked with pumpkin butter
with salad


Meal 4 - pre-workout snack
Home made pumpkin bread with peanut butter

Meal 5 - Dinner
Black pepper steam chicken
with brown rice  


Meal 6 - Snack
Multigrain soy chips
Cream cheese
Protein shake

All up I eat about 1620 calories
I eat ALOT and i'm always still hungry especially towards the end of the day
I still try to keep carbs lower than my fat and protein intake but I still eat a good amount of carbs through the day

So please don't be thinking you need to starve yourself every day till forever to stay in shape
Eat lots, Eat good, Feel good

Slendier pasta



This song pretty much sums up my life LOL
I just ate carbs, why does it taste so good
Can't give up bread even though I know I really should 

Giving up sugar, desserts, soft drinks and fast food are easy peasy for me 
The hardest part for me is CARBS
I love PASTA and BREAD so muchhhh 

So when I saw this product my first reaction was IS THIS REAL LIFE ?!

8 Calories, 0g CARBS, 6.5g fiber 
This is like a gift sent from heaven 

At first I was abit skeptical, so I did my research 
This range of pasta/ noodles are made from a special Japanese ingredient called Konjac / Shiratake
It goes by different names and is actually a plant that is just packed with fiber 

You can make it pasta style (look for low calorie sauce tho) 
I also made it Vietnamese style with fish sauce, stir fry beef and salad
And also Japanese style with toufu, mushroom and chicken (just google shiratake noodle recepie) 

Of course it does not taste as good as normal noodles and pasta but its a great replacement
most importantly it keeps you FULL,
is good for digestion and helps you bowel movements 
some people struggle to poop when they don't have enough fiber in their diets

Where to find this god sent gift from heaven? 

Just click on this link

They sell a range of products just search for SLENDIER PASTA
and there will be a variety for you to chose from like angle hair, fettuccine even lasagne sheets 
Happy shopping xoxo
