Not_a_Fitness_Diva

Proof of life... been a while since I last posted. Just been slowly working on myself but more internally lately.

Protecting my peace. Setting boundaries.

But feeling much better so the past few weeks I've been back to focusing on some physical aspects again. Can already see the bloat leaving my face so back on the right track.

Will hopefully be sharing more soon again.

Sip Your Way to Wellness!

Looking for a delicious way to support your weight loss journey?  I tried a new protein smoothie mix that is not just packed with nutrients but also tastes like a dream.

Don't let the green fool you! This leafy powerhouse blends seamlessly into our smoothie, giving you a burst of vitamins without compromising on flavor.

A large dose of cinnamon adds a warm, comforting flavor while boosting your metabolism.

Who knew healthy could taste this good?

Large handful baby spinach
1/4 cup reduced fat coconut milk unsweetened
1/2 cup mango
3 tblspoon fat free yoghurt
1 tblspoon Cinnamon
3 tblspoon USN BlueLab Whey protein - milk tart

Blend and drink.

Day Three: Rest Day & Self-Care

Today marks day three of my journey, and it's all about embracing the power of rest.

After two days of pushing, it's crucial to listen to my body and give it the love it deserves. Rest days are just as important as workout days, and they play a vital role in weight loss and overall well-being.

Stayed on track with nutrition and getting in my steps. Walking is such a gentle yet effective way to stay active and clear my thoughts.

Remember, self-care isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity. Whether it's a warm bath or simply enjoying a cup of tea, take time today to nurture your mind, body, and soul.

Let's celebrate progress, not perfection, and honor our bodies for all they do.

Day Two: One sunset at a time.

As the sun sets on another beautiful day, I'm reminded of the importance of taking time for myself and nurturing my journey.

On this path of fitness and weight loss, I'm learning to appreciate the small victories and cherish the moments of peace and reflection. It's not just about the destination, but the journey of becoming the best version of myself.

Here's to celebrating every step and embracing the challenges. Let's keep moving forward, one sunset at a time.

Day One:

Today marks the start of my 8 week weight loss journey, and I'm taking it one step at a time. It's not just about shedding the weight; it's about embracing self-care and nurturing my body and mind. Every small step counts, and I'm ready to celebrate each victory along the way.

Let's inspire each other and make self-care a priority every day.

Somedays... you just need a song to turn your mood around.

Thanks Sonny Fodera

I am worthy of love. I've literally screamed those words out several times these past couple of years. Its insane to feel you have to scream that at your own mother. And it's heartbreaking to have to scream that at a spouse. Today I literally woke up surrounded in a cloud hanging over my house on the cliffs of Joburg. I'd blame this weather for my mood today but to tell this truth I started feeling down yesterday. It's hard when the very people that are meant to uplift you are the ones that bring you down the most. It's a long and slow healing journey I am on. I still hear their words echo in my head... I don't find you attractive anymore. You don't look like you used to. You really need to dress better. How can you live like this. And so it goes on...

But I have a feeling I'm not the only one carrying these scars. Just one quick look around social media and it will make most normal folks feel unworthy. But I'm here to remind myself and anyone else that needs to hear it today. We ARE worthy of love. Keep loving you. Keep working on your own inner dialog. Don't give others the power to bring you down. Keep on making good choices for you. Keep being kind. And keep moving forward.

Change doesn't happen overnight. It's one foot in front of the other.

Instead of sitting here today thinking about how far away I am from my goals. For me its my Financial Debt. My lapse in Health. And my unfinished Home. But instead I will try to remind myself how much I have overcome this past year. How brave I have been. And how much I have progressed already.

I am worthy of love. And I need to be shouting those words at myself.

We've got this!

Happy Valentines day for me... received my USN supplements.

Found that my new primary workout opportunity is in the evening... so going to try the QHUSH stimulant free pre-workout.

Most missed product the past couple months... must say it's my morning L-Carnicut and Weightloss Collagen. Happy to have those again.

Thanks

Have a great weekend.

It's not about killing yourself on day 1 or even week 1 and then burning out or feeling overwhelmed. It's about all those small changes and building on that progress to keep pushing forward. Day after day. Week after week. Good habits form through consistency.

Day 1 felt great. Excited for Day 2.

You know you've found somewhere special when you go for a weekend of camping, it rains 70% of your stay, and you have such an incredible time. I have always believed that life has too many adventures to offer to return  to the same place. But literally the day we arrived back. Me and my son looked at each other and both were like " Can we go back tomorrow". We've already planned for another trip. Derrick was a fabulous host and the dogs added an extra special touch guiding our mountain walk and making us feel extra safe at night sleeping by our side.

The property itself offers days of exploring. Refreshing dips in the pool and just perfect path lighting at night. Safe. Calm. Just a gem. The perfect balance of camping experiences but amenities to make it that touch easier. Warm shower. Private toilet. Electricity. Was provided a wifi password but chose to not use it. Was beautiful to off-line for a while and just enjoy our surroundings. Live in the moment more.

The location is unbeatable. So much to do. Lion and Safari. Elephant sanctuary. And next time we hope to do the Cable car and hot air balloon adventures. Even planning for next year when my boy is older to try some river kayaking.

Thank you Derrick for creating such a special place and sharing it with us. Hope to see you soon again.
