Meditation

I decided that I was going to add meditation as a priority to my life about 2 weeks ago, and I'm delighted to say that I have meditated every night just before bed for the last 15 days. I heard on a podcast that 56 consecutive days of meditation changes the shape of your brain, … Continue reading Meditation

Proud of my small steps!

So for the last week every day, bar one I think, I have done the 5 minute mini workout. 5 squats, 5 lunges, 5 push ups, 5 calf raises and 5 tricep dips. Simple and easy, and I achieved it! Might seem small and almost insignificant to someone who goes running or to the gym … Continue reading Proud of my small steps!

Small Steps… to get back on track!

So, it now count down to back to school, and I've realised that the last few months have just disappeared and I've really not done very much to work towards my health goals... so this week I'm going to start getting back on track. With a few small steps. I am going to try to: … Continue reading Small Steps… to get back on track!

Day 1 Small Step Success!

So I did it. My small step for yesterday was to drink at least 2 litres of water, which I know shouldn't be a difficult thing, and it used not to be - but recently I just haven't managed it! But yesterday I made myself stay accountable, and I did it! So I easily got … Continue reading Day 1 Small Step Success!

Starting Small…

Today's Goal is to drink water. At least 2 litres of water. Should be easy enough to do it. And when I am on track I have no problem drinking over 2 litres, but at the moment I'm struggling to remember to even drink 1 pint. Until bedtime, and then I realise I haven't had … Continue reading Starting Small…

Nearly The End of April

So two days left in April, and I can say for one I do not know where this month has gone. I didn't manage to get any of the things that I wanted to get done done. I didn't restart my healthy habits. And instead of my body getting fitter, it has gotten stiffer. A … Continue reading Nearly The End of April

This Months Goal Not Going So Well!

So this month is supposed to be about healthy habits and setting them up in sustainable ways in my life. But I am not doing too well on that front. I have kind of fallen off the wagon in most ways - I have not been tracking my food or choosing the best food choices … Continue reading This Months Goal Not Going So Well!

Batch Cooking!

Step 1 of Planning! As I said yesterday, my biggest downfall is when I am not organised and I don't have food ready to go. So today I have cooked tonights dinner - chicken Dopiaza (from an old Slimming World recipe leaflet I have), and a new dish from the Supervalu website - Mexican Leek … Continue reading Batch Cooking!

Healthy Habits – plan to start!

I have been listening to loads of podcasts recently, and generally they have been health and wellness type ones. I have noticed a lot of reoccuring topics (possibly as the people I am listening to are interviewing like minded people!) but there seem to be some simple enough things that can make a big difference … Continue reading Healthy Habits – plan to start!
