Marvelous in my Monday!!
2825. March 2013 by Swiss
Happy Monday, welcome to a new week and to the traditional start with the flipping marvelous Mondayparty over at the beautiful DIVA!
Today is my exam!! Cross fingers! So you can imagine that a lot of studying was going on on the weekend, but I managed to plan a few fun things around it, to still make this weekend marvelous.
Food was one of the things, like my snack and dinner on Friday:
Munching on Beef Jerky’s in the train to Zurich…..
….Chicken in Herbsrust, Spinach Greens, Baby Tomatoes, Chickpeas
My body was doing weird things all weekend. I hardly had any appetite, my legs felt sluggish and my belly felt like a stone and looked like I was carrying twins in it. Sorry if that is TMI, but things have to be said sometimes 🙂 So I tried to take it easy and good care of it and do what is best. Which meant at first to take a full restday on Saturday. Sandro joined me for an easy morningwalk at the lake……
……which was followed by a light and yummy breakfast:
Omelette with veggies&coconut butter
I took a few hours of the afternoon for studying before I had my ‘afternoon-lunch’:
Strawberry-Protein-Smoothie&Amazeballs
Then we headed out for another walk this time to the botanical garden which is just behind our house. I met a sweet little friend there who immediately fell in love with me and didn’t want to leave me anymore 🙂 My heart couldn’t even handle it.
When we got back I prepared everything for our visitors, we had a couple coming for dinner to our place and it was a lovely, lovely evening with good talks, good food and many laughters!!
Wholegrain Fajitas filled with Guacamole, peppers, chicken
Sunday morning I woke up around 8, did my meditation and started with a workout. Some cycling, TRX circuit and this AB/Cardio Training which I love!!!
Fuel after:
Omelette with veggies&amazeballs
Yes, I know, I am such a creative girl with all these same meals. But I just wanted a change in my pancake kick and went back to the good old eggomelette which is also always a winner. Tomorrow will be pancakes again though 🙂
Rest of Sunday was chatting with this wonderful friend, emailing with beautiful Courtney, studying, a walk and a bit of meal prep. I did not plan the whole week yet, but some ideas are:
Horseradish Dip with raw veggiesticks
Herbscrusted chicken on a saladbowl & Hummus
And here’s dinner from last night, oh it was SO good! So that was it….nothing exciting, just a lazy quite but marvelous Sunday.
Herbed Salmon filet, steamed broccoli, raw pepper strips
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are off to a great start today! I send you Love!
Sweet or Savory for Breakfast? Or Breakfast at all? I need to eat breakfast, otherwise I am useless. It can be sweet or savory, I don’t mind as long as there are eggwhites 🙂
Tell me one marvelous thing about your weekend!!

Wandering and Wondering. 
I sure did miss our daily conversations while I was away! Good luck today on your exam hunnie. I just know your hard work will pay off though ❤ ❤
Thank you Love!! First half done, now on to the next and last, yay!! Not the best feeling about the first one, but oh well I am just glad it’s over!!
Let me know how the 2nd half went darling!
The first half wasn’t goo, don’t know about this one but the second half went well!!
Fingers crossed – for your exam! And I’m sorry you had (hopefully it’s all over) an upset stomach during the weekend. I hope it was all about being nervous about today.
And you look marvelous with that cat!! Are you a cat or a dong person I wonder? 😀
Me and breakfast were never good together. I’m not a breakfast person, but I still trying to get mine, however not before 10am.
Cats!! I like dogs too, but cats are so elegant and independent. I like that. I used to have one, but since I am living this 2 places life, its’ not possible….maybe later 🙂
And thank you – I feel a BIT better and the exam is done!
How did it go? The exam?!!
First half not so good, second half good – we’ll see! 🙂 just so glad it’s over!!
Yay! You should celebrate!
Good luck on your exam, love! You’re going to rock it 🙂
Sounds like you had a marvelous weekend for sure! I went snowboarding in the mountains this weekend, which was absolutely perfect – the weekend went by too quickly though! And as for breakfast, mine definitely has to be sweet. The idea of savory just turns my stomach.
Happy Monday!
Can’t go wrong with a weekend riding the slopes!! And it sounds like it was perfect. I did not go yet, shame on me, maybe after Easter! Thank you, finally the exam is done!
I love sweet AND savory! Yesterday I had sweet maple oats topped with a fried egg and crumbled bacon with cinnamon…soooo good!
I hope you’re feeling better love…I didn’t feel the same amount of energy in this post as I normally get from you. Maybe just exam jitters? I’m sure you’ll do great, but I wish you luck anyway!
Kitty cuteness! LOVVVVE!
The most marvelous part of my weekend was the progress I made in my physical therapy!!
Yeees, I read it!! So fraking cool!! Hmmmm, sweet maple oats, now that sounds delicous.
My belly…I guess it’s this marvelous time a month we girls get, awwyeah….
Good luck with your exam!!! Everything looks delicious as usual! Sounds like the perfect weekend!
Thank you so much girl!!
My favorite breakfasts are sweet AND savory! I love making wafflewich sandwiches with waffles, Laughing Cow cheese, sweet jam, and a dippy egg. So, so good!
Oh my God, that sounds to die for!!!
I love beef jerky or any kind of jerky as a snack, addicting to say the least.
Totally with you!! Jerky is my fave snack!
Sweet breakfast all the way! I can’t imagine it any other way actually ha.
Sure sounds like a marvelous weekend for you my lovely!
Good luck on your exam Lucie! You’ll do great! What are you studying for again? I seem to have forgotten…my mind sucks these days;)
Eeee…I like cats! So cute.
Haha no worries Dear, I can’t remember all the blogger stories either, not possible! I did a course in Real Estate Management because I work in this area. Nothing exciting to be honest, boring stuff and I am so glad it is over!!
Good luck with your exam Lucie! You’ll do amazing 😀
I’m a mix of sweet and savoury for breakfast…I like sweet, but I usually throw eggs in there too.
That cat is so cute! It actually looks a LOT like my parents cat!
Oh really? I love the colors of her fur! She was so clingy, my heart was melting. And yessssss, eggs for breakfast everyday!!
I’m definitely a sweet breakfast fan! I won’t turn town savory but I’ll add some jelly to my toast 😛 Gotta start [and end] the day on a sweet note!
That sounds great!! Jelly always works and I end my day also with a sweet note, a must!!
THANKS for the SHOUT OUT LOVE! Your salmon dinner looks MIGHTY delicious 🙂 Love all of your pancake dishes so heart warming in the morning! The kitty is so cute, I would have taken her and ran! haha* Happy you enjoyed your weekend, excited to hear how you did on your exam! Have a great week 🙂 Love + SHine CourtStar
You’re welcome Beauty! Oh I should have done that with the kitty 🙂 next time, haha 🙂 xxx
