It’s a little weird to write about today now, we are now on day 5 and it still isn’t over, but we can tell you what happened and what’s about to happen this evening.

As always we started our day with our new favorite smoothie – banana, orange, frozen berries and water.

It was a grey morning and we again didn’t quite make it to wake up at 7.30 am. Well we woke up at 8.45 pm. Now since it’s cold these days we're craving more and more hot drinks like our arch enemy coffee. Coffee, you’re the devil in disguise. We saw one woman holding a cup of take away coffee today and we were looking at her coffee like a dog is looking at a treat. Like with our tongue out, drooling, big wet non blinking eyes…Yeah, that was us. Woof. Still, we haven’t bought coffee and soon it will be 1 month!!! A non-coffee-anniversary!

Yesterday in the evening as we opened our fridge desperately looking for something to fill the emptiness that coffee left inside of us (without much luck – it was almost empty) we saw that we had some broccoli headed in the wrong life direction. Yes, sadly almost molding. To save the broccoli, and since we already had our 2 vegan days this week we decided like Demi Lovato to let it go and just make this incredibly tasting whole grain pasta with salmon, créme fraíche (pronounce: in a snobby way), broccoli and many other great ingredients, that we'll share in the recipe these days. No matter how many calories it takes.Yes we had planed this for quite a while now. A whole night. A whole night of tossing and turning and trying to escape from this pasta. So creamy and so dreamy. And then after our smoothie in the morning we decided to YOLO whatever it means and to make our dream come true – 4 hours later we were eating this pasta. And since it’s pretty creamy and not much on the light side we did not have anything but the smoothie before and just now one smoothie after that. But we're pretty full. We're full in our belly, but most importantly we're full in our heart. And we think that’s enough for today.

Now we're heading to our Zumba class where we'll be (as announced in the previous post) just chilling in the corner of the studio, looking at whoever makes mistakes, point our finger at that person and laugh. Yes. That’s how we do a Zumba class. No we'll probably just try to do all the moves, make a few mistakes, trip a little, sweat here and there and then it’s over. Eaaasy. And then we won’t eat anything, because it will be after 8pm. How exciting! But we'll try to finish some of the recipes and upload them here. So we also have something to look forward to, besides the shower, massaging pillow, our warm pyjama and some episodes of The Mindy Project. Winter – you suck!
