Saturday lunch ideas 💡

The struggle is REAL making healthy lunches on weekends, but I am proud of myself. Made this cute lunch & it was so yummy! This was a beef stir fry which I seasoned with salt, pepper, sweet basil, paprika, soya sauce, honey. I used green pepper, pineapple, baby marrow, carrots as my stir fry veggies of choice. For my couscous, I added green pepper, red pepper, olives, sweet corn, Rosa tomatoes and feta cheese. I also added some sweet corn because I am crazy about it 🤪You can literally use any protein of choice, this dish doesn’t leave you feeling bloated, it can also work as a meal prep idea, super quick & easy to make! Happy weekend y’all 🌸

Breaks are needed ⚠️

Ever feel so burnt out, you can’t see where the day ends and the next day begins? Well that was me, I really needed this break! and I am having the time of my life with my favourite person. Love really is the best medicine & lots of time too 😅 recharging and rebooting happening here

Choose happy 🌸

This is by far the best day of my entire life. Wedding days are truly so special and this day was just so perfect indeed 🤩 So when I have days that aren’t so perfect or rather quite the opposite, I choose to look at the days in my life that brought me the most joy really cherish the good with the bad. What brings you the most joy, comment with your best memory down below👇🏾

Love yourself not your weight ❤️

When I started my health journey I lost sight of two main things loving myself where I was and enjoying life.

Love yourself where you are, do not lose sight of how beautiful you are with and without your weight loss. Weight really doesn’t define you, so look after your health of course but it is NOT a reflection of beauty. We all go through tough seasons body wise and really good seasons so by all means love yourself in every season.

Also, do not limit yourself to a diet you cannot maintain after you have reached your goal weight. This was something that I always did when I lost my weight, I never deprived myself of anything, I just limited my portions & ate everything I wanted. Remember you are trying to create a lifestyle you can maintain. Even if you gain a bit, that’s life and it’s really okay. Enjoy your life, don’t be so fixated on your destiny or ideal health goal that you do not enjoy life.

Mental exhaustion remedy 🌟

Time away from everything was great! I was able to clear my mind! Hit the restart button & just rest, it’s the most beautiful thing you can do to yourself.

Honestly had such a hectic start to the year and haven’t really felt myself. I felt like just when the year started, I haven’t really caught my breathe.

Also my fitness took a back seat a bit as mentally I wasn’t really all the way there. So grateful I was able to break away last weekend and get my mind & soul in tune with the rest of my body.

Mentally I am going into this next month having all the energy to do the best I can, push myself & get back at it 💪🏾 who is with me? 🙋🏾‍♀️

Smile through life 😬

On this day, I was having lots of fun, felt grateful to be alive, felt at peace being outdoors in nature & really felt privileged in this moment. It was such a beautiful day in a beautiful surrounding.

Enjoy every single happy moment life throws at you, because life has lots of ups and downs. So take everyday as it comes, if it’s a goodie smile & make a conscious decision to be happy in everything you do. Chase peace over anxiety 💫 💫 💫

Dinner 🍽

I made this delicious low carb dish with mince, added sweet corn, carrots, peas and green beans. I always add salt, pepper, paprika, mixed herbs. Also for mince I always add 1/2 a large onion & tomato purée for flavour. You can also add soy sauce or chutney for even more flavour. I also added a side dish of kale.

Breathe 🧘🏾‍♀️

In the craziness of things, you sometimes forget to breathe! It’s important as part of your health journey you prioritize your all parts of your health not just physical health.

This week for me has been so crazy, full of deadlines, but when I feel stressed and overwhelmed, I take time-outs and I do what gives me peace. Lately this has getting out of the house & being alone with nature & taking walks where possible.

Listen to your body, when it’s time to rest, relax and find something that gives you peace & tranquility so that you can restore yourself completely.

Weekend meal idea 💡

So we made this meal a few days ago and it was all sorts of yummy! We had some steak with side of mini-sweetcorn and a salad. This salad banged, it had carrots, radish, beetroot, red cabbage, kale, mint. This salad was a bit on the dry side so I added some salad dressing. We also had some oranges & mango slices. Because life is better with wine, we indulged a bit 🤩
