I have a passion for all things health related ..from skincare ,healthy ways of eating ( I loath the word diet !!) to exercise ! Now don't get me wrong ..I am not a svelte size 8 and I am no way super ,duper fit ..I am in fact 51 ,not quite at my optimum weight or fitness yet ( ok I'm quite far off it !!) but I am working on it . So a t little about how I got to writing this page ...
The year befo
re my 50th I swore to myself I was going to be a size 12 ,super fit and not a financial care in the world for my 50th Birthday ...oh yes and for some reason ,have long blonde hair??????!!!!!!! Guess what ...I turned 50 ,my hair was red ( I love red hair but just not on me ) and probably the fattest and unfit I have ever been ...oh and SKINT !!! Things got worse as I realised ...or rather my husband gently pointed out I was maybe menopausal ( yes ,he is still alive !!)
I knew I had to do something ...but I didn't ..I drank some more ,I put on some more weight and I reckon I was verging on depression and to top it all I developed Rosacea ....full blown the week before my wedding . My sisters commented how ironic it was that I had trained to be a Beauty Therapist and had looked after my skin over the years but I was the one that developed this skin condition ...sisters can be really sensitive that way can't they ?! So I vowed that I was going to sort myself out .....tomorrow ! Then in May of this year I decided "enough was enough " . I started studying for a Health & Nutrition certificate so that I could not only help myself but help others with their health and nutritional requirements . Then I came across an amazing coffee called Lean Java Bean ..I was sceptical but it was new in UK and I thought "Why Not!!"
WOW .....the brain fog ,constant eating binging ,lack of energy disappeared within a week !! I felt focused and motivated something I had not felt in a long ,long time
I had a massive boost in my energy levels and due to this coffee curbing my Carb and sweet cravings I started to lose weight and inches !!!I
am now attending the gym regularly ...
By the way I am no "Gym Bunny" but look forward to getting fit again and am setting myself some serious challenges ..I will reveal more later! I have 2 mental Irish Water Spaniels that I adore and I love running with them in a sport called Cani-Fit ...if you've not tried it you must ...I am still an absolute novice but it's such good fun ..plus it knackers my 2 out !!! I have found my passion, I have started a new company and now and I "do what I love ". So the purpose of my page is to maybe inspire others . On here I will be will be posting everything from healthy recipes and some not so healthy ( we are all human and have to live !) all sorts of things really related to health & wellness . Please feel free to comment and share with your friends , family and anyone you think may be interested !
