...I find that looking after myself (and the ironing) is the first thing that I tend to neglect the busier I get, especially after the past few months which have been a bit of a blur - it’s so easy to fall into the trap of not looking after yourself while you’re running around after everyone else and running a small business. So as of today I’m going to make sure I take the time to do something every day that will improve my health and wellbeing, someone so kindly reminded me that if I’m not feeling my best, how am I supposed to look after others and focus on my work. I’m not at all one for diets, I love food far too much, but what I am going to do is limit those sneaky sugary snacks by replacing them with a cup of SkinnyMe Tea to clear away those nasty toxins that have built up over time, and 5-10min of yoga or body weight exercises (like squats and pushups) and then save the sweet treats for special occasions - I’m by no means cutting anything out, just altering the way I look at it.

I’ve always been really active (years ago I used to compete in triathlons and long distance running!), but I find that I tend to dip in and out of any routine when it comes to exercise really quickly. So another challenge that I’m adding to my day is to wake a little earlier and either go for a run or do yoga - both leave me feel amazing afterwards, so it’s so silly that I don’t do these exercises more often and then recharge after this workout with either a fresh juice or smoothie (which of course, I’ll share recipes for!). I’ve no doubt these small changes with give a massive boost of much needed energy, and hopefully even help shift a little winter weight. I’d absolutely love to hear what exercises and little diet tricks you have to keep yourself feeling your best - don’t be shy to leave a comment below, I love hearing from you. I hope everyone has a wonderful week planned and hopefully are a little inspired to do something for you each day. x
