I have been debating with myself what to make this blog about...it is not a fashion blog because, and lets be real I am not fashionable, I rarely put make up and truth to be told and don't really follow fashion trends (remember I spent half of my life studying to be a scientist, at least I don't wear the sandals and socks outfit, well not anymore :) ), it is not a cooking blog because I spend half of my life dieting (and even that usually lasts only 3 weeks tops) ...so I come to realise there are 2 things I know how to talk about! Thing number 1: SCIENCE (but I suppose that is slightly to complicated and boring for the general public) and thing nr 2: TRAVELING! The problem I see on making this a blog about traveling is that I don't do it enough, however I have been in 12 countries in the European union and I suppose I could write little tips of how to enjoy more for less money, not exactly budget travel, but travel with not to much money!
I can give advice on countries such as:
Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Greece, Iceland, Latvia, Estonia, England, Northern Ireland, Slovenia and Switzerland.
Next trip will be outside EU. Just not sure where yet! :)
Tenho vindo a debater-me sobre em que transformar este blog ... não é um blog de moda, pois, e sejamos realistas, eu não estou na moda, eu raramente uso maquilhagem e verdade seja dita eu não sigo as tendências da moda (lembrem-se que passei metade da minha vida estudando para ser um cientista, pelo menos não uso o look sandálias e meias, quer dizer Já nao uso :)), não é um blog de culinária, porque eu passo metade da minha dieta a vida (o que dura geralmente apenas três semanas, no maximo!) ... então apercebi-me que há duas coisas das quais eu sei falar e tenho bastante para dizer! Coisa número 1: CIÊNCIA (mas suponho que seja um pouco complicada e chata para o público geral) e Coisa numero 2: viajar!
O problema que vejo em fazer deste um blog sobre a viagemns é que eu não viajo o suficiente, porém ja estive em 12 países da União Europeia e suponho que eu poderia escrever pequenas dicas de como aproveitar mais por menos dinheiro, não exatamente viagens budjet, mas viajar com não muito dinheiro!
Eu posso dar conselhos sobre países tais como:
Portugal, Espanha, França, Bélgica, Grécia, Islândia, Letónia, Estónia, Inglaterra, Irlanda do Norte, Eslovénia e Suíça.
Próxima viagem será fora da UE. Só não sei onde! :)

Fim de semana...
Nao, aqui nao é fim de semana prolongado, nao aqui nao é dia de Camoes, os dias aqui nao querem saber dos dias ai, dos feriados, das festas! os dias aqui sao frios e cinzentos, os dias aqui as vezes sao muito tristes!
Nao, aqui nao há Festas dos Santos Populares, aqui ninguem quer saber que para a semana é dia de Santo António e que se comem sardinhas no pao e se bebe cerveja!
Nao, aqui as pessoas nao fazem nada disso! Aqui as pessoas nao saiem a rua e sorriem a um desconhecido, nao, aqui se sorrires para o desconhecido és maluco!
Sinto tanta falta de me sentir em casa, de saber sempre do que estao a falar, de acordar cedinho e ir para a praia, de fazer pouco dos camones enquanto eles se transformam em camarao frito, dos gelados, do SOL!
Ai Portugal, sinto-te a falta! Que saudades!

Muitos Parabens Dona Chá Verde!

Menina Chá Verde, Muitos Parabéns! Mesmo sem te conhecer fiquei tao feliz que numa das muitas conversas com o meu namorado mencionei, como se de uma amiga se tratasse!
A blogosfera tem destas coisas!
Desejo que tudo corra bem e vai escrevendo que eu vou lendo!

i know! I promised I would come here and write all about how much weight I lost and how is the Yoga working, but the only thing I can truly say is that after all this time trying to lose weight and exercising I am literally the same weight I was on the day I said I was dieting for 3 days...I am 10st!
And friends, I am not exactly tall so this is quite a bit, in Kg this is 63.9 kg!
OMG, I was 57 kg when I first moved to the UK...so this is a total of extra 7 kg! SEVEN!?????? AIiiiiiiiiiii!
Depression...
Depression ai depression... started the other day, when I went on to buy a bikini...OMG, I would wear a bathing suit if I was still living in PT and I would have all the time in the world to get a tan! but know that my summer vacations are shortened to 10 days a year??? I have to wear a bikini, so since saturday I am doing extra efforts which is in the neighborhood of starving myself...we'll see!
There is no way I will lose 5 kg until my vacations but I will be happy even with 2 or 3, as long as my legs get thinner!
It is very depressing to actively trying to lose weight and really not being able to!
TIll my next post!

Challenge...
hello!
As you all know I am dieting and as I was reading http://asnovenomeublogue.blogspot.com/ I realised that loads of people that commented suggested Yoga as a good exercise to lose weight...So I decided to try... I found a youtube video with a 8 minutes yoga exercises (which you can repeat as many times as you want or can handle) which targets weight loss! I woke up today and repeated the whole thing twice. You wouldn't believe how fast my heart was beating and how hot my muscles felt!
I will continue trying as I felt that it actually did something!
I propose I do it for 1 week starting today and I will let you know of the results in one week time! Deal?
I am also dieting anyway so hopefully it will be a combined result!
I will keep in touch!

diet day 3
Day nr 3 of my diet! I started with 10 stones, 3 days ago!
And guess what I am still 10 stones!
3 days of
breakfast:
kellog's K with activia pooring yoghurt
1 glass of Natural orange juice
lunch:
-salad and 1 boiled egg
dinner:
tuna salad with no mayo, no olive oil and no patato
on top of that I snack on
1 cereal bar and 2 hrs later 1 fruit
plus:
I am taking stairs instead of lift and in the underground I actually climb the tube escalators instead of standing. After all these I haven't lost not even 100gr!! :(
plus nr 2: this is the longest I have ever been without eating bread ( about to lose composure :) )
HELP!

I'm back! Voltei...
Hey, I am back from my amazing vacations in the Baltics!
And it was wonderful! Tallinn is one of the prettiest places I have ever been! Plus to top it up the weather was absolutely gorgeous! Riga was also really nice, it is so charming...It is a different experience to go over there! The Russian influence is everywhere at least in Riga, maybe not as much in Tallinn!
I encourage everyone to go, you will not regret it! :)
But, and of course there is always a but I put on weight while being there and therefore I have arrived and I am on diet! Objective lose 6.3kg! which is basically what our british friends call 1 stone! so wish me luck! I have started an aerobics attack class and I am thinking on joining yoga (they say it effective I personally have my doubts...lolololol)!
ta ta!
Hey, estou de volta de minhas férias incríveis no Báltico!
E foi maravilhoso! Tallinn é um dos lugares mais bonitos em que eu já estive! E para ajudar a festa até o tempo estava absolutamente magnifico! Riga também foi muito bom, é tão encantador ... É uma experiência diferente ir ate lá! A influência russa está em toda parte, pelo menos, em Riga, talvez não tanto em Tallinn!
Encorajo todos a ir, garanto que não se vao arrepender! :)
Mas, e é claro que há sempre um mas engordei um bocadito enquanto la estive, por conseguinte, cheguei e ja estou em dieta! Objetivo perder 6,3 kg! que é basicamente o que os nossos amigos britânicos chamam "1 stone"! Desejem-me sorte! Comecei uma aula de aeróbica ataque e estou a pensar em juntar-me ao yoga (dizem que e eficaz, pessoalmente, tenho as minhas dúvidas ... lolololol)!
