Due to work commitments this week I needed to get a lot of exercise done this weekend just gone. As part of the studio rules for a 30-day yoga challenge I need to get a class done everyday, but you are allowed to do 2 classes in one day to compensate for a day you can … Continue reading The Weekend
For Christmas my lovely boss Kim kindly gave me a Wellness Journal. Last night before I went to sleep I spent some time reflecting on my day and happiness and this is a such a great way to do it. The journal asks you to comment on particular aspects of the day ahead and at … Continue reading Daily Greatness
It’s ice cold outside. Probably a lot colder outside of London, but I think my thermoregulation is a bit dodgy and I’m really feeling it. So I got up into the loft this evening to get my purple moon boots out. I know they are fugly and a bit 80’s après-ski retro, but I don’t … Continue reading Moon boots make me happy
Today is day 20. 20!! Plan for the day: Currently drinking a coconut oil coffee and eating breakfast. This happens to be some fresh mango and one slice of gluten free toast with organic hummus and tenderstem broccoli on it! (I’m addicted to hummus and broccoli – this is not an exaggeration). I have to be out … Continue reading TWENTY!
Day 19 has been back to normal. I ran to yoga and had a great class. Hot but not too hot, challenging but not too challenging. I felt strong and flexible and for the first time in months I didn’t wear full body covering clothes. I’ve been wearing full length leggings and a long top to practice … Continue reading 19
I love water. I carry round a CamelBak Chute 1 litre water bottle so that I can keep suitably hydrated all day. Usually I drink about 3-4 litres a day and I keep my electrolytes up with additional coconut water and with adding pink Himalayan salts to all my meals pretty much. I’m fairly obsessed with … Continue reading Hydration
This week has been hectic. It transpires that the running and yoga challenges are all well and good when you are working from home, near the yoga studio, but as soon as travel is involved it becomes SO MUCH HARDER! On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I had to be at my work head office and normally … Continue reading 16-17-18 Oh My!
I went to a 90 minute yoga class tonight but definitely hadn’t eaten enough after my run as I just didn’t have enough energy. I told myself I just had to get through it, and I did. Part of this challenge is about having no expectations, just accepting what my body will allow me to … Continue reading Day 15 finished
On the half marathon training plan for today was a 60 minute run. But the rain was relentless all morning! I’ve noticed this last week how much I avoid getting on with whatever exercise I have planned, pushing it back hour after hour. Sometimes into the late evening. Last night I went to bed with … Continue reading Halfway
I weighed myself this morning, halfway into my January challenge. This year to date I have completed 17.5 hours of hot yoga and run just shy of 50Km in total. I eat an entirely plant-based diet and drink 3-4l of water per day and have had a grand total of one glass of wine. Over … Continue reading Step away from the scales
