Fig, Chocolate and Almond Tart

A few weeks ago I started to go to the gym... again. I was absent for quite some time (problems with the back and surgery) and now my doctor advised me to try it again.
I don't know if that happened with you, but I suffered a lot. The pain in all the body, as it got rusted in the meantime, and now suddenly waked up. I thought it will pass after the first few visits to gym... but no. Every time some other part of me wakes up and starts complaining {*smile}.

But I didn't quit and I am proud of it!!!




On Saturday I took the day off and went to the market. I came home with a box of gorgeous figs. I bought them without knowing what exactly I will do with them. At the end I decided to use them to make chocolate, almond and fig tart just for me.

It was a prize for my persistence. Even that I ate just half of a slice, it was a good feeling. Sometimes I like to spoil myself like this. I think I deserve something because I behaved good and I go for it!!! {*smile}.



Do you do that? Do you spoil yourself when you think you deserve it?



Há poucas semanas comecei a ir ao ginásio... outra vez. Andei ausente por algum tempo (problemas com as costas e cirurgia) e agora o meu médico aconselhou-me a tentar novamente.
Não sei se já aconteceu convosco, mas eu sofri muito. A dor em todo o corpo, como se entretanto tivesse ficado enferrujado, e agora, de repente, acordado. Pensei que isso ia passar depois das primeiras visitas ao ginásio... mas não. Todas as vezes alguma outra parte de mim acorda e começa a reclamar {*smile}.

Mas não desisti e estou orgulhosa por isso!

No sábado tirei o dia de folga e fui ao mercado. Voltei para casa com uma caixa de lindos figos. Comprei-os sem saber exatamente o que iria fazer com eles. No final decidi usá-los para fazer uma tarte de chocolate, amêndoa e figo só para mim.

Foi o prémio pela minha persistência. Mesmo que tenha comido apenas metade de uma fatia, foi um sentimento bom. Às vezes gosto de me mimar assim. Acho que mereço alguma coisa, por me ter portado bem e por ter tido essa vontade! {*smile}.
