Body By Amy

🍏🍉🥒🍋

Due to the nature of my job and how much I usually exercise I would normally include these juices in a healthy balanced diet but given my circumstances of being unwell the last 6 weeks I was at a stage where I had no appetite but also being sick with anything I did eat which meant my body was not absorbing any nutrients & it actually got to the point it put me into a vitamin deficiency so being able to drink these juices and keep them down genuinely made me feel so much better.

With my appetite growing again I do want to try and drink less caffeine & really make sure I’m having enough fruit and veg in my diet which is what I can get from these juices 🤤

Hello 👋🏼

Sorry for the radio silence on here. Some people will know I’ve been in hospital recently and still currently unwell. This has been probably the hardest couple of weeks I’ve endured purely down to the fact it came out of the blue and I wasn’t prepared for it. To go from training 5x a week, walking literally everywhere, tracking and eating well to being in a hospital bed and my sofa for the last few weeks has been nothing short of hell for me. I didn’t get to end my last bootcamp with the girls, I’ve not been working or exercising and that has taken it’s toll. It’s hard to not feel like I’m failing when I am unable to control what’s happening to me.

I’m always very transparent on here and having what I took for granted ( my health) not be great and totally impacting my every day life has been a bitter pill to swallow. This has made me realise how much I rely on endorphins & being around people who feel the same is important to me 💛

Your health is most definitely your wealth and I cannot wait to get back to it and be better than ever x

Do you panic when trying to stay on track at the weekend? 🫣

There are 168 hours in a week. 48-72 hours of that are deemed the weekend. That’s a lot of time to ‘go off plan’. So when you go out for dinner and drinks on Friday / Saturday night & have a ‘hangover day’ you could quite easily be eating in a surplus by a good few thousand calories 🤐

Life is about balance and living. 100%. But if you have a goal and are not seeing changes and going back to your coach with worries that the plan you’ve been given isn’t working you really need to look at your week and what you have been consuming / what you are doing that could be harming your progress.

Whenever I feel I’m not progressing as much as I expect to be I go through a check Iist to myself and be honest with each one. At the end of the day the only person you’re cheating is yourself..

Are you meeting your step count?
Are you hitting your calories & protein? Water?
Getting enough sleep?
Keeping stress to a minimum?

If you can honestly answer yes then yes speak with your coach about it and they can direct you accordingly about the next steps but if the answer is no then you know what you need to work on! If you do find yourself struggling with what’s been given that’s also time to speak with your coach and tell them what you are finding hard.

I always really push home that being healthy is not training 7 days a week and eating chicken and broccoli. How miserable 😩 - I love chocolate ( maybe too much) I love going for brunch, eating out is a weekly occurrence for me but that’s where I need to be a bit more in control of my calories. If I know I’m going out for a big one at the weekend il drop calories down during the week to bank extra ones for the weekend.

It’s plain and simple if you want to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. So just keep that in mind when you are looking for changes but not doing the work to keep in align with those goals.

The Holiday aftermath 🫠

At some point you’re going to have something you want to work hard towards. Whether that’s a holiday / wedding / birthday. You give it your all on the lead up to it then ultimately you relax and enjoy yourself. That’s what these special occasions are for! Right?

So why do we beat ourselves up for enjoying the moment? Not going to lie I had a little guilt for over indulging when I was away. I had such high expectations for myself to get up every day and train, drink green juices and eat salads. Well I was far from it. I think my diet consumed of beige foods and tequila with minimum movement 😂

But what would be the fun in going away and doing what you do at home?
The hard part is getting back into it when you return which is what I’m currently going through (cry).

So here is my plan for the week and it’s something you can take on whenever you return from your holiday.

Work out your non negotiables. Make sure they are manageable and not something you can give up easily. Mines are:

💦 Drink 3L water a day.
💪🏼Train for at least 45 mins a day whether it’s a class or walk.
🚶‍♀️12k min steps a day.
🫐Stick to my calorie and protein count for the week & ensure I am eating high quality foods.

These were my ‘non negotiables’ before my holiday and i absolutely need them to keep myself on track and get back into a routine again. So work out 3-4 things that keep you accountable and stick to them for 1-2 weeks, see how you feel and then make it habit. Alter them how you see fit but just make sure you can stick to them!
