Read moreStaying Consistent With Health & Fitness
Staying consistent and motivated with health & fitness is hard! It is hard for almost every aspect of life, especially when it comes to managing your time and keeping on top of your health and fitness. There are so many distractions around; social media, shopping days with friends, the pile of laundry that’s been waiting for days, the coffee date with friends, or the new Netflix series that you’ve been meaning to binge. I’m sure, like most of us, you wake up with all the best intentions, but before you know it, the day is over. We’ve all been there.
Read moreNew Year, New Goals, Same Me
It’s always so cliche to talk about becoming a new person in the new year. But honestly, if the new year is the thing to motivate people to become better. Who are we to bash others for setting goals? Setting new habits can be done no matter the time of the week, month or year. Its always good to start when you’re ready!

Read moreMy Weight Loss Journey: Losing 22 Pounds
For the longest time I have wanted to start my own weight loss journey, but there was always something stopping me. “I’ll start on Monday” or “I can’t do it this week because I’m on holiday.” I’m sure alot of you can relate to those statements. There was always something stopping me from doing it, even though I knew I needed to. After the 3rd lockdown in England, I really tried my hardest to do what I could to get healthier. Both physically and mentally. I went for 2 walks a day, I tried intermittent fasting and I just kept on gaining weight. I really struggled with body image.
Read moreWhy I Don’t Set New Year’s Resolutions
Without fail towards the end of December, we always hear the words ‘New Year’s resolutions’ being thrown around in conversations. It’s something thats talked about alot, and I’d really love to know where and who started this mess. When I was younger my resolutions was always to lose weight and get healthy, and always without fail I’d give up after a few weeks.
Perhaps thats why I’m not a fan of them. Because every time I have tried, I have failed. So really I don’t see the point because I know I will just fail it again. Why do we love to set ourselves up for failure? Why do we wait for a new year to make changes. It’s the same as “I’ll start on Monday” , which never works. I have never really been a fan of New Years resolutions, just purely for the fact that a new year doesn’t just wipe the slate clean. If you want to make changes then do it now rather than later.

FITNESS, TRAINING & WORKING OUT
These three things sometimes seem to intimidate people. People often don’t have the confidence to walk into a gym or take a fitness class, maybe because they’ve never been to a gym before. Remember the gym is more than just a place to pose in-front of a mirror for a Instagram selfie. The gym can be used as an escape from reality, an escape from their crappy job with a boss that doesn’t appreciate them, or even a place to socialise with friends.
