Bad Days...

 

When starting this blog, I had so many ideas of how I wanted it to look. Most importantly, the two things I wanted it to be are; positive & honest. So I guess you could say I’m going against the positive part by titling this post as ‘bad days’, but let’s be honest here- they are something that we all experience! So how do we overcome them?  

Five ways to fitness

Does at least one of your 2018 goals involve becoming healthier/fitter? Are you finding it difficult getting to back in to your workout routine?  I’m with you, and I’m sure there’s 100’s of us feeling the same…
Getting in to a fitness routine in January can hands down be quite a shock to the system. Likelihood is that you’ve had a December filled with all the food, fizz, long morning lie ins and of course the occasional afternoon nap..just me? I thought not. Truth is, the only thing that may have been relevant to the word ‘fit’ throughout December, is the challenge of fitting even more food in than you thought possible. Second serving? Why the hell not! If your December sounds even the slightest bit similar to that, welcome to the club- trust me, there’s millions of us! It’s what makes Christmas, Christmas!! However, when January comes around and you have set all of these goals to be more healthy and wake up at 5am to go to the gym, it’s a pretty big shock to our system! This combined with January being labelled as the month of ‘January blues’, can mean that our motivation levels hit a new time low! If you’re finding it difficult, I feel you & don’t worry- I have got you covered. Continue reading to see my top 5 tips for getting in to a routine, smashing your fitness goals and generally taking the steps to become the healthiest version of you.

2018

After an amazing Christmas spent with family, friends, good food and celebrations, I feel like I’ve blinked and the end of December is upon us.

It’s crazy to think that 2017 has already come to an end. I feel like each years just goes by quicker and quicker. It really makes you realise just how important time is and to spend each day doing things that make you happy.

 

On a positive, 2018 here we come! I always love the start of a new year, it’s a great time to reflect on the year, every memory you have made and all of the things that you have achieved. Not only that, it’s a great time to set some new goals/aims for the year ahead. It’s a brand new year for you to do new things, take risks and smash your goals and ambitions. If you’re interested in my 2017 reflections, check out my previous blog post, but for now let’s focus on the year ahead!

2017 Reflections

My 2017-

As it's December and the end of 2017 is fast approaching, I feel it's the perfect time to hide from the winter weather, snuggle up and reflect on the highlights of this year! 2017 has certainly been a good one... 

Expectations VS Reality

23 years of age… Expectations vs reality

To some degree we’ve all felt at some point that we have expectations hanging over us. Whether they are our own or are from parents, friends or even society in general- either way if we let them they can have a huge impact on the way we think of ourselves and our mindset in general.

I’ve always been a planner and throughout my teenage years I thought I had it all figured out and new exactly what the future looked like. I’ve learnt that life has plans of its own for you and things don’t always work out quite the way you expect them too, but that’s ok!

 

Here’s a few examples of some of the expectations I/society has in comparison with my reality…
