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.

6 Ways To Start Your Self Discovery Journey

September 7, 2022September 7, 2022by Olivia15 Comments

For years now, the idea self discovery has become something that alot of people have tried to obtain. We hear about people going through breakups and transitioning into new chapters in their life, and all they’re trying to do is find themselves again.

Recently I feel like I’ve been going through that. Every few years, I feel as though I transform and change into a different version of myself. Even 6 months ago, the person I was then isn’t who I am now. And I guess thats the beauty of growing as a human. But, what does it mean to try and find yourself? I’ve been trying to figure that out myself.

A Healthier Me: 12 Month Weight loss Update

March 7, 2022March 7, 2022by Olivia18 Comments

I can’t even believe I am writing my 12 month weight loss update. A whole 12 months of hard work and dedication. I can’t believe I have got to this point. I dreamt of the day that I got to write a 12 month update here on my blog. Losing weight always felt so impossible for me. I had so many things working against me, but here I am. Living proof that if I can do it, so can you. And I know its so cliche and so many people who lose weight say this, but I have made this my life. I love working out and eating good food. I can’t see my life being any other way.

A Day in The Life of My Anxiety

February 17, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia113 Comments

Anxiety is something I have lived with for years. Although it’s never been diagnosed by a doctor – and I for one don’t think its needs to, its still something that I struggle with almost daily. It’s not as bad as it once has been. The panic attacks are few and far between but I do still find myself suffering from intrusive thoughts and worry. I know that its something I will probably live with my whole life, and I have learnt to accept that. But knowing this doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.

5 Tips to Get Healthier This Year

January 12, 2021October 19, 2022by Olivia44 Comments

After such an interesting year spent indoors and a year feeling less healthier than we were, I’m almost certain that I am not the only one who gained a few pounds. If you were part of the lucky few who challenged themselves to a healthier lifestyle, good on you. Unfortunately, I cannot relate. My lockdown started off great, and then it wasn’t. I could give you every excuse about why it all went south, but that won’t help anyone. Instead, I would just like everyone who is in a similar situation to know that it’s okay. We had our slip up but now it’s time to get healthier.

Tips To Help You Stay Positive Through Your Weight-loss Journey

September 10, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia24 Comments

[Guest Post]

Hello, my name is Gabrielle Beverly and I am the author of “The Gabby Diaries” I am 29 years old, and I am a Capricorn. My hobbies include writing, sketching, blogging, reading, listening to music and podcasts, and binge-watching anything at this point.
My passion in life is to help other individuals understand, and learn how to cope with their mental illness. On my blog, I talk about topics dealing with overall health, both physical and mental. I also talk about the importance of self-care, and how my faith and spiritual growth has helped me on my journey of self-love and self-discovery.

I guess my journey originally started back in high school. Growing up, I was the chunky kid. The funny thing about it, I never got bullied for being plus size. Crazy as it seems, it’s the truth. Everything else that I was bullied for, my weight was never an issue. As I got older, I learned so much from my health class, and my P.E. teacher at the time. Then, I also learned from family, friends, and a group called SistaKeepers, that I need to learn to love myself first. Not only has this been a journey about losing weight, this has also been a journey of learning to love myself more, self-discovery, and self-care.
