You Need to Sweat

Hi everyone,

With a new year everyone tends to make goals and targets of things they would like to achieve, one of the most common things people want to improve is Health and Fitness. Goals are something I tend to do throughout the year anyway, but over the Christmas I admit my eyes were far bigger then my belly. For the most part I a very happy with my weight/body and I don't really have the discipline to stick to a strict diet. For me looking good is all nice and well but being healthy is my main priority. So my goal is to tone up a bit and strengthen my core. Making exercise a habit not occasion.

A lot of you guys have probably already heard of Blogilates, Cassey Ho is one favourite fitness influencers. What I really like is her session aren't necessary long, but they are effective. And if you sign up to her Website she make these amazing monthly workout plans - she will make you sweat hard. Plus she has really bubbly friendly personality that give you an instant connection.

I will do a before and after, but for now here is one of my current favourite videos.

On the topic of health and fitness, I've noticed sportswear is really starting to fashionable these days. So now you don't  have to look a complete hot mess lol.

Take care x

2014 - Battle On

Hey everyone,

Can you believe its the end of the year already? It is no longer 2013!

Before I get into the that; I'd just like to say hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, full of family, friends and joy.

I was planning on doing a few Christmas posts, I even typed them out, but I really didn't feel like it. I was trying to feel Christmasy and get into the spirit of things but it just wasn't happening, it just felt like something was missing. Don't get me wrong getting involved with charities and stuff helped but *sigh*. Of course that is not to say I had a bad Christmas; indeed food was cooked, people gathered and a few gifts were exchanged. Yes, I'm thankful and grateful for everything I have but it all just felt hollow. I think that is why I didn't post those Christmas entries, if I'm not feeling it what is the point - got to honest right? That feeling has also carry through to now, the last day of 2013.

Hmm... kind of depressing I know, are any of you guys feeling this way? Or are you completely the opposite, has this Christmas and New Years been amazingly fantastic for you?

OK so what of 2013? Well, it hasn't been my best year in terms of achievement but on reflection I'd say its been a year of strength. Throughout this year there have been knocks, disappointments and tears but despite all those things putting me down, making me feel worthless and like giving up. I'm here! Thanks be to God.

I feel incredibly secure giving the Lord thanks and praise, I know everything will be alright and there is plan in motion. Sometimes things happen and I find myself asking why? I'm trying my best to do the right things so why is this happening? I try help and support everyone why do they choose to hurt me? But I have to have faith that God is good and wouldn't give me anything that I could not handle, and only has the best intentions for me.

So I look to 2014 standing strong motivated that better is yet to come. The trials and tribulations in 2013 and 2012 are just bruises and scars of a battle that God won. I pray for patience a revived attitude, continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7

So with that said I wish you all the best for 2014, may it be full success, victory and a breakthrough, in Jesus name. Amen.

See you in the New Year

Coming Together

Hey everyone,

So last Sunday was the day of my Race of Life - Cancer Research charity race which also happened to be the hottest day of the year. Woo! it was seriously tough, I was sweating bullets and my legs felt like weights. It is amazing how much of  a difference heat can make, I guess it my thought as I only practised at night before hand. When I got to the park I was so overwhelmed by the amount people participating and supporting. It just kind of hit me that all these people be doing anything with their day right now and yet they choose to support, challenge themselves and come to together.  

So many people involved -  truly amazing

Really proud of my self and all the ladies who completed Race for Life, there was great energy and everyone supporting and encouraging each other. I finished the race in 32 minutes, which is slightly over my target, but the heat played a huge part - I was really dehydrated. But still very proud and happy with what myself and the rest of the ladies achieved.

Sweaty smiles across the finish line :)

 Thank you to all the people who donated to Cancer Research x

Up Yours Cancer

Hey everyone,

The gloves are off baby

So following from my previous post of cleaning up my health and doing things that make me happy, I have signed up for Cancer Research UK - 'Race for Life'. I think everyone has been affected by cancer in form or another, whether you know someone who have passed away battling it, those going through it now or whatever the case maybe. Its horrible that cancer has become so common and affected so many - from Grandparents to young children. According to Cancer Research in 2010 324,579 people in the UK were diagnosed with cancer.

I get quite upset when I think about it sometimes, but I feel strengthen when I think of all the amazing people supporting, trying to comfort those going through difficult times and knowing that everyone is fighting for a cure.

For these who don't know Race for Life is a women-only fundraising event, its not an intense race, there are no winners and people of all ages can take part. I have done the race before (about two years ago) but I really want to up my game, raise as much as I can and if possible run the whole 5k race. So I've got me pack and I'm ready to go!

Plus Kyz is loving that we're running together more, look how cute and smiley he is :3

Whether your taking part or not it would be fantastic if you could donate, to do so please use the official site >>>> http://www.cancerresearchuk.org  

Are you guys joining the race too?
