Loving Self

Week 6

At the beginning of the year when I started to gage in healthy lifestyle I gave myself a goal to focus on this programme for six weeks. Six weeks makes a habit, however we tend not to stick to routine and often keep up the bad habits. In order to keep on the habit of a healthy lifestyle of exercise and eating well I should write an activity plan and stick to it. The only way to stick to the programme is having limitless self love. Self love in all areas, what is important for my blood, my cells, my mind, having thoughts such as these will motivate me to do what is right for me. So on this Valentine day, I wish to love myself more and affirm to take care more of mind body and soul.

Eating Well

Week 6

As I started training there was a natural occurrence to eat a more balanced diet firstly because it makes sense and my consciousness take s over balancing positive actions of exercise with eating sensibly. Also in doing exercises we need more energy food as our body burns the reserves. It is easier said than done, but small changes can lead to big differences in eating habits’ in the long run. In my food focus I compare eating wrong and eating well strategies.

Getting Energised

Week 4

The most natural way to increase energy without supplements and energy drinks is to do exercise. It is a fuel for the energy. The more you do, the body becomes stronger and more able to increase other activities. Although I felt recharged after exercise, it took a while because at first I was extremely exhausted.

The following three things has increased my energy along with exercise

Keeping Motivated

Week 3

It is very easy to get disheartened when starting something and the results are not showing. It may be early days yet, however I now understand the disappointment clients feel when I work on weight loss programmes and there hasn’t been any change in the following week. I have started to increase my exercise considerably and have slightly reduced my carbohydrates and consumed fewer calories than of recent. Having taken these steps it was disappointing to see that there was no change, I was not even able to loose the average 2lb weekly loss.
