CHAMPIONS DON’T SHOW UP TO GET EVERYTHING THEY WANT; THEY SHOW UP TO GIVE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE! is probably very appropriate in light of the ALL BLACKS loss to England on the weekend. I thought the better team won, & although we would have given it everything we had, the ENGLISH had more. For the gym & in our fitness life we need to be giving it the BEST we can! I see this everyday & I hope that this is what I bring out in everyone who comes to see me!
🙌🏻I talked about a Dr Libby article that discussed falling off the “wagon” of nutritious eating & how this mindset is one that is often repeated frequently along with the GOOD & BAD food concept. I try to encourage my clients to eat a nutritious way of life with water being the main drink.
🙌🏻I was away for the long weekend & over the course of the weekend I drank more alcohol than I normally would, I ate fish & chips (battered) & had some Hell’s Pizza & a mini magnum. All things I do not normally eat. I also ate a wonderfully nutritious egg, courgette, nutty salad, had a quinoa, egg frittata, had a chicken & roast vegetable salad, my normal breakfast & water.
👀So did I feel GUILTY or say I ate BAD foods or changed my normal way of eating. The answer is NO. I’ve now started my week with my normal nutritious way of eating & this will continue all week & I’ll keep doing my fitness & my life continues on. If I changed to eating PIZZA, PIES, BATTERED FISH, CHIPS, DESERT, etc more frequently then this would not be a path to good HEALTH but I won’t as I like what I eat & have no desire to eat battered, fried often brown foods.

🙌🏻Sometimes in life we need also to hit the reset button as life has got busy & we allowed more processed, sugary, starchy foods into our regular food choices. We may also have omitted some fitness & aren’t drinking the water we need. So for NOVEMBER my clients are making ONE change for ONE month. It’s a good way to hit the RESET as 4 weeks is achievable. So join us in choosing one thing to OMIT or ADD IN. Some suggestions so far are - no biscuits with coffee in the afternoon, 5 fitness days a week, no chocolate, no alcohol Monday to Friday.
🙌🏻October challenge ended with more effort to reduce alcohol & increase the water. It was great weather over the long weekend & it looks like this weekend may bring more sunshine. So start off your NOVEMBER with some added fitness & meal prep. Super amazing recipes on my FACEBOOK page this week & please like and share if you can please! ENJOY your NOVEMBER weekend.
