BUT FIRST… COFFEE

I don’t know about you but I am a creature of habit, not one who likes too much change, and someone who falls into a routine very comfortably and fast. Ok ok yes these are sounding like excuses you are right. These are the things that I tell myself every day when I think … “do I have a coffee addiction?” and the answer is yes. I do. You probably do too. Coffee is the most consumed beverage in the world. Continue reading “BUT FIRST… COFFEE”

12 WAYS TO CONQUER THE EARLY MORNING WORKOUT

“Motivation is what gets you started – habit is what keeps you going”

 Gone are the days of being a university student – flexible hours, catching up with friends, home all day long and sleeping in!

EATING BEFORE AND AFTER A WORKOUT?

When it comes to eating healthy and working out, I rarely fall off the bandwagon. My daily routine consists of leafy greens, my morning coffee, sweaty gym sessions, stretching (and of course sitting on my bum 9-5… yes it’s not all lululemon and relaxing) But despite being a health nut/gym rat, there is one thing that has always stumped me… What to eat before and after a workout? and when?

WHY AM I NOT LOSING WEIGHT?

Food diary? Check! Regular exercise? Check! Weight sticking around like a needy high school boyfriend? CHECK!!!!

13 FOODS YOU SHOULD BE EATING EVERY DAY

With so many fad diets circling social media and the health and fitness industry it is hard to know what to eat. It certainly doesn’t help that the ‘gluten free’ diet is becoming a bit of a fashionable trend and people are focussing more on what NOT to eat, than what TO eat! Don’t eat dairy. Don’t eat meat.
