My week in pictures #21

In 'my week in pictures' I will let you have a look into my life on a weekly basis. Most of these pictures will be taken with my phone, because I bring that everywhere.

Monday Meals :)

Dinner with the babies, as it was a late night for me again. Aren't there plates cute?

Workout

Monday was another long day of work. I was planning on going to the gym in the morning, but it was raining. When I hear rain when I try to get up at 6am, it is really hard to get out of bed, so I just stayed in. I need to walk about 15/20 minutes to the busstop and then another few minutes to get to the gym, didn't want to do that in the rain.... I did some healthy cooking during the day and tried out a new recipe; a muffin with banana and spinach (that's why its green), and it was pretty good. When the babies had their nap, I did my workout and I had dinner with them in the evening. Everything took a little longer today, because they where both sick :(. I also started posting on my new fitness instagram account, which will hopefully help to keep me motivated. It would be great if you could follow me: @esther_fitnessjourney

On Tuesday I tried to eat healthy again, and it was raining all day. The babies where still a little bit sick, so we stayed in all day. When they had their nap, I did my nails and I finished some things for my biology class.

Food prepping..

Blueberry Smoothie

Wednesday started out with some food preparation for the day. Because I had a very busy day, first working till 5.30 pm and then I had another appointment at 6, so only 30 minutes to eat. So I decided to make something I could eat for lunch and dinner, and the babies could have as well. In the end the babies only wanted to eat the pasta and not the veggies haha! I also made this really cute video with Vivan, where he counts till 3 in three different languages: Dutch, Hindi and English. Don't mind the way I look, this is the au pair 'outfit' ;).

Thursday I worked and in the evening I had my biology class, where I got my grade back from my exam last week. I got 90.5 out of 100, which really surprised me, because I didn't think I did very well, so that was a good surprise. We also got our grades back for the study guide we had to do before the exam and I got 50 out of 50, so that was even better. And I got my midterm grade, which was an A, so I'm happy! We where talking about senses, especially the eyes, and then we had to dissect a sheep's eye... After my class I went for a run, and it didn't go very well, but I managed to finish the 25 minutes I was supposed to do. We'll just keep going and it will go better next time.

With Vivan <3

And they passed out...

On Friday I went to the Academy of Sciences with Gabi and the babies. They always love it there and are so tired, that they usually can't stay awake until we are home and fall a sleep on the way... Other than that I didn't do very much on Friday.

On Saturday it was raining all day, but I still went downtown to go shopping. I'm leaving in July and I still needed a big suitcase and a suitcase for my hand luggage, so I wanted to go buy one. Then I also ended up going to Forever21 and I bought some more workout clothes haha. I think I'm slowly collecting more workout clothes than normal ones. In the evening I did some babysitting and that was pretty much my Saturday. There will be a shoplog online later this week.

Aren't those houses amazing?!

On Sunday I slept in first and then I went to Gabi's house and had brunch there. Later we met Sandra and we walked around a little bit, had some coffee, talked and then we went back to Gabi's place. On the way we saw these houses, are they amazing?! San Francisco has the most amazing houses and apparantly there is also a tour that goes around and focuses on this, so I might do that one day before I leave. When we got to Gabi's house my host parents where there because the babies had a playdate there and my host parents never met Gabi's, so it was time for them to meet. It was really cute to see the babies interact, afterwards we went home, had dinner and I wrote this post.

That was my week, how was yours? Do you have any fitness instagram accounts that you really like and I should follow? Leave it behind in the comments!
