Garlic pepper soba and chilli sesame roasted tofu vegetable soup for lunch today, good stuff :)

Vegan Sweet Cakes by Rhiana

This is a pretty basic vanilla cupcake recipe. You can use whichever flour, sugar, oil or non-dairy milk.

1 ¼ cup flour

1 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt

2/3 cup non-dairy milk

1/3-½ cup oil

2 tbsp. vinegar

2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake papers.

In a large mixing bowl combine the non-dairy milk and vinegar and allow to curdle for a few minutes. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet and mix just until combined. Divide batter evenly among muffin pan and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool before transferring to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.

To make a simple vanilla frosting measure 2 tbsp. vegan margarine in a bowl and bring to room temperature (until softened). With a hand mixer beat on high for 1 minute. Add 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar and beat for another minute. Finally, add 1 tbsp. non-dairy milk and ¼ tsp. vanilla. Beat until mixture resembles a creamy frosting, about 2 minutes.

Seeing physical changes in your body is a painfully slow process. 

Eating perfectly and killing your workouts for a week is not going to result in massive changes. Eating perfectly and killing your workouts for a month is not going to result in massive changes. Eating a balanced diet (with fun treats thrown in) and giving your all in the gym for months and years WILL result in massive changes.

This is also important to remember if you DON’T eat perfectly or kill your workouts for days or weeks at a time. Just like one great week wont result in massive changes, one awful week isn’t going to result in detrimental changes in your physique and wipe out all the hard work you’ve done.

Your body is a summation of the days, weeks, months, and YEARS of hard work you put in. There will be bad days, there will be bad weeks or months, but there will also be incredibly days, incredible weeks and months.

Don’t give up because you’re not seeing results in a month. Don’t give up if you’ve fallen off track for the last few days or weeks.

SUNDAY REST DAY (fav day hah) :)  

Hi guys!

So, i get a lot of questions about how i started yoga lately etc. here are some answers! When did you start? - I started four months ago, in the middle of january i think

Do you join a yoga class? - no i’m practising on my own at home

How do you started? - I started on my own at home. first i used youtube videos from yoga with adriene for beginners, but i couldn’t even reach half of the poses she showed for beginners so i started completely on my own with stretching (touching the ground with my hands, coming in the downward facing dog etc.) . coincident i started working on headstands, later on handstands and one month or a bit more ago with forearm handstands. i always used a wall because i was shaky like hell (and i’m still often!). i don’t do yoga flows at the moment because first i want to be able to reach the poses, so that the flows ARE flows and not just pretending like i’m relaxed when i actually have to fight to hold or come into different poses (yes i know, some of you think this isn’t good, but that’s the way i do it!). so when i do yoga, i always work on headstand, handstand and forearmstand and other different difficult poses and then i stretch my legs, my back, arms etc. What kind of yoga do you do? - As you can see i just do the whole thing on my own. i often look through tumblr, instagram or blogs (always professional yogis) and look how they come into different poses or if they post tips or so. I don’t do one special kind of yoga for now. i do what feels good for me and as i’ve said, when i’m able to hold different poses for long times i will start concentrating more on real yoga lessons.

How often do you practise? - i practise around every day or every second day at the moment because i don’t have school and study a lot for my exams, so i have a lot of free time. the first three months i practised around every second day. if i don’t feel good i don’t practise (did this once, and it was a REALLY bad decision). i also do abs workouts every third day and i’m sure they also really helped for head/hand/forearmstands.
