Where there is a will...

Hello Friends...

Check me out, searching  out an Internet cafe to blog for you! haha!

I have 3 simple meals for you.  I put it together as you would have them on a day. Hope you enjoy this.

Breakfast: 
50g of steel cut oats. You can either have this cooked or raw.
2 table spoons of Greek yogurt
Some berries and a chopped nectarine!
So appetising!






Lunch : 

Oven grilled vegetables with a fresh salad and smoked chicken.
Here you can see the carbs with lunch. You don't want to have carbs after 18h in the evening. The simple reason is that your body will not use the energy.

Dinner

Chicken strips with Greek yogurt sauce and baby spinach. 

Stir fry chicken strips. Season to taste. When they are cooked, add your spinach along with 2 spoons of Greek yogurt. Let it simmer until spinach is slightly wilted. 

Bon ap!! 

Holiday weight management

Hello Friends -

Hope you are all very well still? I am enjoying the South African sun.  Not all holiday for me. Since my studies are almost done, I am working on the last submission before I will be a qualified personal trainer.  I also completed Level 2 First Aid.  Yeah! I can save lives now!


So I got this question.  How do you go on holiday, and not turn into a complete blow fish?

You have to be realistic.  I even tell myself this.  Holidays are there for a reason.  To blow off steam, after a long year of working hard.  Sometimes the steam that blows off - blows up in our thighs and muffin tops... lol... So, to prevent that, I put together some tips.  You will not like them all. Ha ha!

Firstly, exercise is a MUST:  I am not saying run a half marathon every day, but you should really try your best to stick to some sort of easy reachable holiday cardio.  Think about this.  You have been hitting the gym all year, and suddenly you stop. What will your body do?

Fitted clothes... aaaahah! you ask me HOW will this work??? well... it makes you stop eating when you had enough, before you burst out your clothes. ! he he he

Do not leave the house hungry. Or the tent, or wherever you are staying. It makes over eating later so much easier!

Carry fruit, dried fruit and nuts around in your holiday bag. It is a light snack that will fill the whole, and keep you from over eating later.

Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate!!!!!!

Now the last and most important.  EAT REAL FOOD. People.... this is not as difficult as others make it out to be. Eat fruit, vegetables, meat.  Avoid take aways.  Try to consume less carbs in this time, and eat more fruit, nuts, veggies, lean meat.

Girls , If you are serious about this, you will find a way to make it work.  Personally I never leave the house without food, or planning at least when and where my next real food meal will come from.
We all want to look like stallions and fillies on the beach. Make it happen.  It is in your hand.

Lots of Christmas love to all!!!  :)
