Hey Facebookers...

I haven’t been on here for quite a while and I’m sure you have all missed my updates that were always full of wisdom and satire 😂

I have learnt so much about myself and others in the past 6 months and have been to the depths of my soul and back. Learning a lot through negative situations and gaining so many positives about how far I have come in accepting myself for who I am. Not the watered down version a few people want me to be. I know my limits now and I know what I truly deserve. Hard lessons seem to be the only lessons I learn from. Lol ( don’t know what they says about me ??🤔🤔🤔

To me Fitness and Health always starts with my mental state, how I’m feeling etc ... it’s my biggest battle to control my emotions and thoughts of self. I am an emotional eater, drinker etc and going for a workout is the farthest thing from my mind when I am not feeling 100%. ( Even with the knowledge that it is the only thing that will help 🙈 )

However not having Fitness and eating well in my life sends my whole world into chaos. So due to injury last year I haven’t really been able to train the way I want and need..

I am now back to full health so just warning you guys I will be updating this page again with my thoughts, pics and videos. I know you’ll all enjoy lol 😂 👌🏽

Happy Saturday to all! 😂😂😂😂

Some lovely meal ideas here. Yum yum!

A Week Of Low Fat Clean & Lean Dinner Recipes Five hearty low fat, high protein healthy dinner recipes that defeat bedtime bloat and leave you feeling Clean & Lean.

It's sounds simple but by having a positive outlook to life you will see positive changes. I used to be one of the worst for negative self-talk... I used to look in the mirror and pick fault with nearly every one of my features.. My figure etc.. I didn't need anyone else to put me down as I was doing fine all on my own.

We can change what's on the outside by eating well, exercising regularly however if you don't change how you see yourself you can aesthetically look amazing but you yourself won't see and believe people when that tell you so.

This is a battle that for me won't really go away but by knowing its there and by talking to myself kindly and loving who I am (not being big headed) flaws and all I feel much more happier and positive about life and what I see when I now look in the mirror.

Nobody is perfect! Pun intended! Lol

Well I'm off to the gym for a Sunday Session.. I was naughty yesterday and skipped cardio so today this is my cardio day ( I will still add a weights session, as I love doing weight training.
).

So start your week as you mean to go and get your Sunday workout done.

Happy Sunday Fitness Lovers

This is why I use bananas as a pre-workout snack.

Bananas are a high-quality complex carbohydrate that are the best source of energy prior to a workout, which is why they are an excellent grab-and-go option.

Fact- Not only does a banana contain carbohydrates to fuel your workout, but it’s also rich in potassium which can help to prevent muscle cramps during exercise.

Also if you have a little more time you can add some peanut butter as I have done to add protein also and its tastes mighty fine.

I would also like to add that if your embarking on doing yoga there really is no need for a pre workout snack.

So what is your favourite pre-workout snack?

Ohhhh and don't forget... MISS A MONDAY WORKOUT!

Happy Monday Workout 😀😀😀😀😀

Morning, yippee it's Friday and the sun is shinning 😀☀️ Hope you all have a brilliant weekend planned. I myself will be sunning myself on a beach somewhere if the weather permits.

Right so just wanted to explain a bit about good and bad fats as I know that it can all be very confusing. Especially when the media gets involved.

So here's a little breakdown about what Fats you should be eating more of and ones that you need to leave the hell alone!! 😀

Truth is not all fats are bad for you. In fact they are just as important as proteins, carbs and play a key role in bodily function. Fatty acids omega-3,-6 and -9 are central to a healthy function of your metabolism, immune system and brain. The key is too avoid too much saturated fat - found in fatty cuts of meat, high-fat dairy. Trans fats also which are found in some baked goods, margarines,cookies and crackers. So here's a few tips below to keep in mind when out shopping.
• Avoid trans fats, which are required to be listed on the label.
• Limit fatty cuts of meat. The more "white" you see on meat, the more saturated fat there is. Saturated fat is solid at room temperature.
• Avoid all poultry skin. Best to remove it prior to cooking so that the saturated fat doesn't leak into the poultry.
• Choose fatty fish, such as salmon to optimise your intake of healthy oils.
• Choose Natural cooking oils- olive oil, canola, coconut.
• Choose all natural nuts and nut butters.
• Choose low-fat diary to decrease saturated fat.

Enjoy your Friday 😀

Morning my fitness lovers... Here is a Wednesday Circuit for you all to give a go.... Very easy to implement it into your workout routine... Perform 15 - 30 reps of each exercise with little or no rest 3 - 5 rounds depending on your fitness level.

Exercise 1- Medicine ball up-downs
Start in a plank position with your feet on a medicine ball and your forearms on the floor (a). Push up onto your left hand, then your right hand, pressing your arms straight into a pushup position (b). Reverse the movement, placing your left forearm on the floor (c) and then your right to return to start. (Make it harder: In the pushup position, add the same up-down pattern with your feet--place one on the floor, then the other, then lift them onto the ball.)

Exercise 2 - Stability V-Pass
Start by lying faceup on the floor, holding a stability ball overhead, your legs together and extended straight on the floor (a). In one motion, brace your core and lift your arms and legs off the ground, placing the ball between your feet (b). Squeeze the ball with your legs and lower your arms and legs back to the floor (c). Repeat, passing the ball back to your hands.

Exercise 3 - Modified Inchworm with Stability Ball
Start in a pushup position with your feet on a stability ball (a). "Step" your feet toward your hands by raising your hips to bring the ball closer to your torso until your legs are in a pike position (b). Keeping your legs straight, walk your hands away from the ball to return to a pushup position (c) that's one rep.

Exercise 4 - Medicine Ball V-sits
Grab a medicine ball and sit on the floor, then lift your legs off the floor, keeping them straight and together. From that position, rotate your shoulders to lower the medicine ball to one side of your body (a); that's one rep. Reverse the movement to bring the ball to the other side (b), and continue alternating for 30 total reps. (Make it easier: Bend your knees to 90 degrees or place your feet on the floor.)

Exercise 5 - Crossover Body Mountain Climbers with Stability Ball
Start in a pushup position with your feet on a stability ball (a). Lift your left foot off the ball and bring your knee toward your chest, keeping your back flat (b), then twist your hips to bring your knee toward your right elbow (c). Pause, then slowly reverse the movement to return to start. That's one rep.

Well I'm off to the gym now to add this into my Leg Workout so let me know how you all get on. How many reps and rounds did were you able to complete????

Happy Wednesday 😀
