Bare Strength and Nutrition

Last workout in this home gym 😢
Have to start packing it up today ready for removalists.
I know someday soon I'll have something even bigger and better but the next year will be downsizing and I am going to miss this space so much. I've spent years accumulating equipment and making this room something I love.

My latest fail: fruit gummies!
I am desperately working on making gummies that are actually delicious and close to a proper gummy texture but it is proving difficult. Using whole fruit was my initial goal, but it changes the texture a lot and although my little one LOVES them, I am not happy with them yet.
My next attempt will be juicing a few fruits and going with juice rather than whole fruit for a better texture.
When I get it right I will share a recipe, but until then it's more trial and error for the perfect gummy!

Stuck on the merry-go-round of dieting?

These 3 products have basic ingredients that provide some fantastic nutrients to support your health. While many health products are expensive, these few won't break your budget and are definitely kid-friendly too!
These are all available at Coles, but no doubt many other locations would have similar products.

Especially fantastic for children who may be fussy eaters - these can be well-hidden in a variety of foods/meals.

Kokoda Challenge 2024
32 hours and 45 mins non-stop to complete 96km with a total of approximately 5000m elevation to climb across the track. Our students did an AMAZING job and it was crazy watching the determination and grit of those kids who did finish with us.
The track is no joke and took every part of my soul in the last 10km. Very grateful for the immense support from everyone involved, especially my husband and Mel.
What an amazing and equally horrible experience 😂🙌

This week's menu got me 🤤
If you plan your meals each week you will likely save money on groceries! This can help stop you from buying too much, buying things you don't end up using, or having to make additional trips to the shop during the week.

This week's menu 😋 do you plan your dinners for the week or wing it?
I find planning meals has led to a cheaper grocery bill and reduced stress during the week when things are busy!

Says the dude who sells protein powder? 😂

Just a heads up that companies or people sprouting s**t like this are not living in the real world like everyone else. You don't need to cut out everything to succeed or become a healthier version of you.

What did I miss?

People tend to see more success with diet shifts when they don't overcomplicate things. So, keeping it simple:

Your gut is responsible for A LOT in your body.
Gut health will impact more than just your tummy.
Certain gut bugs are associated with serious conditions, both physical and mental.
Reducing ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is one step you can take to improve your gut health right now 👌

Is there anything you do to look after your own gut health?

Well folks, for the first time all year the weather is on point!
This means that the Burton's are going camping and taking the boat out the front to catch us some fishies tomorrow.

Senior Group Fitness will resume next Friday once I've soaked up some precious family time ☺️
We hope you all enjoy some sunshine!
