Passionate about helping people change their lives for the better! Hi everyone. This is just a quick background story about myself.

I was very overweight and due to being overweight, I suffered from depression and my health was at risk. I became desperate to regain my health, so I tried all sorts of diets and I kept falling back to my old lifestyle. A family member encouraged me to change my lifestyle. I then started leading a healthy active lifestyle through fitness and feeding my body with good nutrition. To date, I have los

t more than 10kg's, I was a large / extra-large in clothes, now I am a small. I now know how important it is to lead a healthy active lifestyle. I will never look back to my old lifestyle.

Breakfast time:

1 slice of sourdough toasted.
Some peanuts
Handful of blueberries
1 slice of semi-hard or hard cheese

If lactose is your trigger, then avoid the cheese and replace it with egg.

I have to admit that I went off the plan for 2 days, was it worth it? Hell no, the pain was horrible.

For a while now, I have been doing cold water swimming, now you may think I'm crazy, but there are 8 benefits to cold water swimming:

1. It boosts the immune system - the cold water boosts the white blood cell count as the body is forced to react to changing conditions. Over time, your body becomes better at activating its defences.

2. It gives a natural high - when swimming in cold water, our 'happy hormones', known as endorphins are activated. Endorphins is the chemical that the brain produces to make us feel good during exercising activities.

3. It improves circulation - swimming in cold water flushes our veins, arteries and capillaries and it also forces blood to the surface as well as helps to warm our extremities. Repeating cold water swimming on a daily basis will help us adapt to the cold.

4. It increases libido - a swim in cold water boosts oestrogen and testosterone production and it adds an edge to fertility and libido.

The benefits of increased libido include more confidence, higher self-esteem, and enhanced mood.

5. It burns calories - our hearts pump faster in cold water and our bodies have to work harder to keep everything warm whilst swimming. More calories are burned in cold water swimming than swimming in warmer water.

6. It reduces stress - as we first get in, the cold water places stress on the body physically and mentally, but as we stay in for longer, it makes us calm and and relaxes us.

7. It is a great way of socialising and making new friends - it brings people together like facing a challenge and sharing the experience as a group.

8. Swimming is also a great form of cardio, so it'll also help us burn some body fat and if you have any muscular injury, then cold water swimming is the best exercise as it reduces inflammation.

The reason why I've been so inactive is because I've been busy smashing my fitness and health goals. I recently did this 30 day fitness challenge and it was amazing! I challenge you to do this fitness challenge.

Important things to ALWAYS remember:

1. Dress for the body that you have, not the body that you want.

2. Eat for the body that you want, not the body that you have.

3. Every time you eat, you are either feeding a disease or fighting it, so make your food choices wisely.

4. Exercise is not a chore, it's a routine.

5. Being healthy is cheaper than being unhealthy.

6. Every time you eat something unhealthy, remember this saying: "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips."

Ladies, this one is for you:

Beauty is not defined by your looks or your weight.

Beauty is defined by your personality.

Do not let anyone who doesn't know you tell you that you're not beautiful.
