Non-Organised Tuesday!

Nothing beats a nice quick gym session in the middle of a busy working day after a long weekend.  I find if I don’t train early in the week it can be 2-3 days at least before I get to the gym again…. Except for my trusty mid-week yoga class of course.
I forgot my towel, water bottle and locker key (packing in the morning and not the night before means Dons is half asleep and less organised). Even though I didn’t have a few necessities for my gym visit I still trained.  At least I had the main items (undies, socks, shoes) so there were NO excuses.  I also forgot my gloves and I am super paranoid about taking off wedding rings so instead of doing my usual weights session I did the following circuit:
Warm up: 10mins hills (Level 16)  on cross trainer
20 squats using TRX
20 KB upright rows (24kg), KB touching ground in-between for more leg and glute activation
10 full push-ups
20 med ball twists
Repeated 3 x through, stretched and cool down.
Done & back at work in under 50mins!  Done for Tuesday! Bring on YOGA tomorrow.

Just Start Today

Image
  Just Start today. There is never a perfect time to start towards your goals and changing your habits.  Just Start today, here. It can take up to 21 days to change a habit, there is your first milestone to reach, let’s focus on that, just doing something different/new/changing for 21 days. How hard can that be? Time to get out of that Lockdown or winter funk - you are important, you matter and your mental and physical health is important for you and your family/friends.   So, where to start I hear you ask, choose only 1-3 goals at a time, and choose goals with a measurable timeframe - i.e. reduce screen time before bed, increase mindfulness to 15mins a day, try yoga once a week, do a walk with friends every Sunday, eat less processed foods daily, keep a gratitude journal, go for that check up before end of October etc -  start with the following 5 action steps before you just start:     1 - Awareness - Change starts with awareness - you know you ...

Power of positive thoughts and affirmations.....

Image
You are what you think and believe. Power of positive thought is a truly strong and powerful tool.  If you walk around everyday thinking poor me, why can I not have this or that, well you are going to miss out on lots of fabulous things in life.  Our actions speak MUCH much louder than words.  You need to visualise, feel and believe in what you are doing daily to feel that sense of achievement, tapping into positive affirmation that today will be okay.  No matter what hiccups occur during the day just know that life is full of things that might make you frown, there will be times where your patience will be tested and your mood will go from happy to sad, frustrated, angry or depressed.  This is normal. I do not believe you can be 100% happy every hour of everyday, it is learning how to ride the emotions and focus on the more positive things happening around you that will help you feel a sense of balance.  If you focus on the bad, they won't ma...

Tomorrow is the END of NO Sugar!

Image
Technically.  It commenced on the 1 July (I commenced a week earlier) so it will really have been 58days sugar free tomorrow for me, well 56 days sugar free as I did have two big blowouts.  But I see that as a learning curve and honestly can say I am enjoying being sugar free and good timing I just got my I Quit Sugar recipe book by Sarah Wilson in the post after attending a talk a couple weeks ago at Flow Athletica in Paddington. So even though it is technically the end of NO sugar, I won't be rushing out to buy my body weight in lollies or chocolate because I don't feel like I have to make up for that time, I feel like I have totally changed the way I think about sugar, food and fructose.  It has truly made me reduce processed foods to a minimum.  I don't crave anything really anymore, I fancy a chai latte or I fancy the cinnamon on top really.  I enjoy making fructose free chocolate, muffins and now that I have my new cookbook I am excited to make lots ...
