I am a big believer that you should still participate in life’s celebrations when wellness and weight loss is your goal. If you didn’t join in, then I don’t have any doubt that you’ll feel restricted, deprived and I suspect just a tad frustrated.
But the question is where do you draw the line?
How much do you let your ‘health’ rules relax?
I suppose the answer to that comes down to whether it be a one night birthday celebration, a four day Easter break or your annual 2 week holiday. 🏖🏕
Have a day/night off, eat hot cross buns (like me) at easter, 🙃and if you decide to have a drink every night of your holidays, then that is OK too! Live life!
Often when on holidays, your healthy choices and habits take their own holiday to somewhere else, deep into your subconscious…
Mmmm, an increased belly bloat, the jeans feeling not quite right and the number on the scales venturing north! Or believe it or not, a great result is you stay exactly where you are.
The culprit for extra kilos and a belly bloat often is your increased intake of ALCOHOL. Having a drink/s in the evening and the occasional lunch during the holiday period can easily become a daily occurrence.
And the result….BLOATED! 🍷🍷🍷
I’ll talk more about the dreaded effects of alcohol in my next instalment but for now know that when your celebration/holiday ends then this is what I’d like you to do ….
Draw a line in the sand, say to yourself “well that was lots of fun” and jump straight back into your healthy lifestyle/habits that are your norm.
Although I would like to say that our ‘normalcy’ has changed and we have a new normal which isn’t normal…as it’s COVID normal…🤷🏻
A number of women have said to me that since being in #lockdown #isolation #stayingathome they are eating more often, snacking throughout the day and their food of choice is you guessed it – comfort style foods.
They’re eating because they’re stressed, feeling anxious, feeling unsure, out of sorts, lonely and often because they’re just bored and looking for a distraction….🤔
This reaction to #COVID is totally normal and there is no point beating yourself up about it. We haven’t been here before…
I know in the first couple of weeks of #stayingathome I found myself in front of the fridge on a regular basis…
All of my mindful eating tools went out the window!🤭
Now I’ve hit the RESET button and feeling so much better for it. My emotions have changed to – accepting the situation we now live in – and wanting to be as healthy as I can be. I refuse to be COVID fat!
When hitting this RESET button I realised you too may be ready to do the same? Stop the emotional eating..snacking..overeating and take back control and create a new level of ‘healthy’ just for you.
I thought to myself what is the best way I can share these tools with you that are relevant for right now.
I’m excited as I’ve created a brand new 4 week workshop series
Biohacking is a crazy sounding term for somethings that is not crazy at all – creating the BEST version of ourselves.
This is not a diet, (though you will drop kilos) it’s a Reset – giving your body a chance to recover and turn your health around.
I believe in order to achieve fabulous health there are 3 Pillars you need to have in place supporting you:
-
Nutrition
-
Lifestyle
-
Body-Mind Connection
And of course one workshop will specifically be on weight loss and sharing with you the tools you need to make that happen.
There are so many new exciting ways that takes our health to that next level and that’s what I’ll be sharing.
I’m inviting you to join me, hit that RESET button and Biohack Yourself Healthy.
The Workshops run for 4 weeks and start Monday 4th May.
