Handy food tips

Hello Friends, 

So this is what happens when you get a 'grown-up' job... lol.. You don't have any time for your Fitness blog!  :)  

I think I am finally starting to get the art of juggling work, training and cooking with a relationship.  That moment everything click into place - the fun starts! 

Anyways, wanted to share a quick post with you for some meal ideas.  I know we all run out at some stage.  

First up, is my delicious sweet potato wheels.  These a crispy like oven chips.  With some light tomato sauce you wont know the difference.  Simply slice the sweet potatoes and place them of baking paper, on  oven tray.  Bake in a very hot oven for about 60 min.  Add coarse salt and pepper. 

I had the above pancake yesterday on my refeed day for breakfast.

7 egg whites
60g oats
1 cup of berries
1 scoop of Delicious whey from QNT sports.

Mix eggs and oats. Bake like an pancake .  Mix the whey with a little bit of water and stack your pancake! yum!




Omelet with grilled veg.  No explanation needed  :)



Oats and strawberry QNT whey.  Add a handful of strawberries.

There you go.  Now go eat clean and get lean ! :)

Making the change ....

Hello Friends, 

We have a heavy topic today. lol.... 

When you decide to take control over your life, regarding training and your meals, make sure you do it for the right reasons.  As much as we want to look and feel good, you have to take care of the inside as well. 
After all, a healthy body houses a healthy mind. 

Make sure you have GOALS.  Make sure they are realistic.  It is easier working toward something if you have a goal. 

Learn what your emotional triggers a

re! The key to breaking bad habits like overeating, is to identify the things that are making you feel low or stressed. Learn how to pinpoint your emotional triggers and establish healthy habits for life.

Change your attitude! Your self-image plays a huge role in your success on this program. I want you to start thinking, "Why not me?" You deserve to be healthy and happy just like everyone else. It's time to change your attitude and your inner dialogue.

Learn more about yourself! Are you proactive or reactive? Where do you fall on the self-love scale? We all need to focus on ourselves sometimes.

Self love - Vanity?

Self Love? Vanity? Where's the line, and how do you walk it? 

I believe a little vanity leads to a healthy self-esteem. This being said, there is a line.  Sometimes we linger on that thin line, as fitness girls.  In a industry like this, you want to promote a healthy, fit body.  You have to be the advert for yourself, if you want to make a success.  If this need a little self-love, then so be it.  

In my humble opinion, if you still inspire people to be the best that they can be, and you are not just working for self gain, there is nothing wrong with it.  You are taking the lead and giving something positive back. The most important part is to remain HUMBLE.  In great success, it is an even greater achievement to keep your little feet grounded. 

Arrogance can be a deadly quality and can have an extremely negative effect on a sufferer's daily life, personal relationships and performance at work.

So how do you see the difference? This will vary from person to person as to what they perceive to be over confident and vain... as to someone who  feels competent and self-assured, a person willing to take responsibility, who at the same time cares about others. 

To conclude; believe in yourself. Trust in  your abilities and above all remember that humility is the most attractive characteristic you can find in someone.  

I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.

Some news

Hello Friendies...

How are all of you? I do not have alot of news for you yet.  Still trying to make sense out of the chaos. :)

I have interviews coming up.  My goal, as you know is to find a job as Personal Trainer.  Tomorrow will be first meeting/discussion for  an interview.  I will have to set up a Business plan .... grrrrrr I cant say I particularly love it. Just doing what needs to be done for the moment.  I still remain positive.  I will achieve my goals.

Other than that, I have some exciting stuff happening with QNT SPORT, who will remain to be my provider of supplements.  I am very happy about this, as they really are an exceptional brand.

It feels good to be back in SA.  France has been an enriching experience, but nothing can compete with your own country, language and culture.  I particularly enjoy the sunsets every night, wine with good friends and of course everyone understanding what I say.

Will let you know when I have more news.  Its time for apartment hunting ! :)
