[via] Slowly but surely, I am kicking ass and taking names and getting my year on track. It’s a good feeling, and after a bit of a rough start to the year it is great to finally be feeling like I’m on the mend. I had my second chiropractor session today, and this time I was a bit more prepared for the dry needling torture, which made it a bit more bearable. Nevertheless, it’s not the most fun thing to …
I know I go about my smoothie maker all the time, but I am just totally loving this awesome machine! I’ve always wanted one but like many things, I just never got around to getting one. When Christmas came along, and we did our annual family ‘secret santa’ thing (instead of getting loads of small and often arb things for the entire family, a few years ago we decided to rather get decent present for just one person, and we …
One of the most surprising things to happen so far in this past week or two has been my rather painless parting from coffee. I’m not quite sure how it happened, last year I was knocking that stuff back far too often, and now I just don’t even think a cappuccino will cut it anymore. In Piketberg my sister uses a chicory-coffee blend that she makes on the gas stove, and we only had once a day, so perhaps a …
Just a few more months to go… It seemed like it would never get here, but at last 2010 is upon us. I am feeling so optimistic and excited about the year ahead it’s insane, and with so much to look forward to, it just HAS to be a good one! After a good few days away in Piketberg, high up on the mountains away from everything; relaxing, eating, napping, reading, missioning through forests, swimming in gorgeous jacaranda-filled pools, and …
“Don’t look down, don’t look down…” So on Sunday morning, we ventured out to Silvermine for a fun morning shlepping up mountains, abseiling down mountains, hauling ass back up mountain and then missioning down mountain again. It was a perfect day, with just a bit wind towards lunchtime, but otherwise warm with enough cloud to prevent us from collapsing on the hike up. Lots of people had canceled, so we ended up being the only ones doing it – plus …
Running (wo)man… It’s funny how that little switch in your brain goes on or off. You can spend months sucked into a cycle of stress and worry, and bad habits… and then all of a sudden it feels like a shift has taken place, and you feel like you’ve come out of a coma. After a pretty long and not all that great weekend, I emerged from the fog on Monday feeling drained but calm. My very good intentions to …
So I’ve been at Zone Fitness in Lifestyles on Kloof for about two months now, and while I really love this gym, and it’s all nice and shiny, there are a few things that piss me off. Nothing too major, just usual things you always come across that make you wonder what the hell people think. Here are some of the most annoying things at gym: 1. People who read while they’re cycling I’m sorry, I know some people think …
Today my healthy ambitions came back to bite me in the bum. It’s been one of those Mondays, and to make up for my not-so-healthy lunch of Vida cappuccino and custard croissant thingy I ignored the wine isle and the peanut Chuckles at Woolies this evening after gym. Yes, vitamin water and salad stuff is probably better for me, but do you think that was comfort enough when I came home to find my bathroom flooded? It just isn’t the …
So it’s been almost 2 months since I’ve started gymming, and about 2 weeks since they gave me a custom-made twofold programme consisting of a cardio plan (40 mins plus 5 min warm up and cool down on either side) and a weight training plan (basic circuit). I’ve also done a few Pilates classes here and there, and a few runs of course. While I can definitely notice some results, I don’t really feel my current gym plan is cutting …
Sonic as a kitten, unrelated to anything but oh so cute! After a rather fraught night of tossing and turning and trying to process eleventy million things at once, I woke up this morning (after missing my alarm a few times) feeling that something was a bit different. First, I could actually breath properly for the first time in well over a week, and also, I felt much calmer. And after a good and productive day, I’m feeling even better. …
