Fitness Friday - Wellness Challenge - Week #8

Hello everyone!

WOW - can't believe it's Friday again!  

Hope you've all had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend!

I'm going camping for the first time in a LONG time - so I'm excited about that :)

I'd like to share some info with you guys about something that I really struggle with.  

You guessed it - PORTION CONTROL!

I don't really have a major problem with what I eat... but portions... hmmm... that's a problem. 

I tend to taste test while I cook... not the best thing...

So - here is a guide I found and it's really helped me a lot!

Hope it'll give you a bit on an insight into what healthy portions are.

Please remember that these portions are for meals as well as regular snacking throughout the day - so please don't use this as an excuse to starve yourself.  Eating very little is not always the best way.  

I find I binge less on things I shouldn't have and lose weight more consistently when I eat more regularly - even if it's just a handful of nuts.  That's my opinion anyway :)

Hope this helps just a little.  Please share some of your tips in the comments below - I would love to hear from you!

Lots of love,

T xx

Fitness Friday - Wellness Challenge - Week #7

Hello friends!

I have tried to be as focused as possible the last 2 weeks.  I have been more dedicated to living a healthier and balanced lifestyle.  I have been doing regular exercise and eating healthier!

I have focused on drinking more water and have cut down (mostly) on eating refined carbs of any kind.  No pasta, rice, bread, etc.  I have not limited my veggie intake at all though - even though they too contain cabs.

I must admit making dinners has been a challenge - but I think I have mastered a few staples in the last 2 weeks that even my husband has been enjoying!  Recipes to follow if you like?

I must admit - I feel great!  I feel lighter and have more energy :)  It took a while for my body to adjust, but it's been worth it!

I'll definitely try and keep going - with the occasional cheats of course!

Please share your journeys with me - I'd love to hear them.  Lets motivate each other :)

Sending lots of love,

T
