I hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas, enjoying some quality family time. I for one would like to take this opportunity and apologize for not posting much lately. There are times in everyone’s life where the deck is stacked against you – you know what I mean, right?! Sometimes, it just seems like every single thing that can go wrong in your life does. So then all you want is a break. From everything! But now that I am slowly and surely back into business, I have a bunch of special and exciting things for you in 2016, so stay with me….
How to Fuel your FIRST Half-Marathon
“You start out doing what’s possible every single day and before you know it you’re doing the impossible” – as Darcey Ann Marie beautifully said it once on Google + – Community Running.
As you already know, last Sunday I completed the Köln (Cologne) Half-Marathon, my first half ever. Hooray! :)
According to my Apple Watch and Strava, I finished the race in 1:54:55, but it seems that the official time is in fact 1:55:22. Overall, not bad, but I could have finished in 1:45 (or even less) – as planned – if it wasn’t for the pre-race jitters….
5 Quick & Simple Weeknight Dinners
Happy Friday everyone! Where did the week go? I hope you all have a great weekend and start cooking up my simple, healthy and light dinner recipes from Monday.
Since I know so many friends (especially guys) living abroad alone, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite recipes that keep me happy and in great shape. They are not just healthy and light, but so satisfying, tasty, fresh and not to mention quick to make – 10 minutes and you are all set for the night.
You can imagine now how hard it was for me to pick favorites. Believe it or not, each recipe means a lot to me. I love them all!
The five recipes you’ll find below are some of the lightest recipes that stand out to me most. And by the way, if you make my recipes and you have an Instagram account, please share them with me on Instagram by tagging them #cookitfit. I’d love to see my dishes in your kitchens, too! …

5 Healthy Breakfast Ideas That Reduce Afternoon Food Cravings
Based on Tamara’s request (my dear friend), I’ve been working lately on a few quick ideas for breakfast that will fuel you up with protein, vitamins and minerals for the day ahead. I hope you all busy people out there find just the recipes you’re looking for.
My mother used to tell me when I still was a stubborn teenager (the stubborn part is still there) that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Right?! I kept answering to her on my way to school. All I wanted for breakfast back then was to sleep in a little longer – so no time for breakfast.
And now just look at me, I am not only suggesting that you should have a wide variety of plates for your morning routine, but I am telling you that having a nutritious breakfast gives you energy for the rest of your day. Besides, it’s linked to many health benefits like weight control and improved overall performance….
