This is big for me, I have only recently been including red meat in my diet after not eating red meat from circa 2002! And when I say including, I've eaten it about two times this year as I simply just don't fancy it that often. I don't have rules around what I eat and tend to eat what my body feels it requires. Although I am very aware if I've not taken a break all day and suddenly feeling the need to devour "all the things" but mostly the things with a hefty sugar punch that I've likely left eating too long rather than a desperate physiological need for my body weight in sugar. I was going to include a post for iron using plant-based foods, however, I thoroughly enjoyed this dish, super simple and worth a share. Ingredients (serves ...

The irony of trying to yoga my way through a chaot The irony of trying to yoga my way through a chaotic season of life. 

I do tend to talk to clients about the overall load or allostatic load.

Training is a load. Work is a load. Renovating is a load. Poor sleep is a load. Even the things we choose to do and enjoy still require energy from us.

Sometimes we just need to wind it back. Am I doing that particularly well right now? No. 😂

I’m one week out from an event I’ve been training for, work is busy, the renovation is still going and I’ve been trying to keep everything else afloat.

The last week or so my body has started giving me a few little reminders that I’m getting close to the edge.

I know what that means.

So I’m getting through this final training week and the event, and then the load will reduce. Practice what you preach right 😬

More walks. Less long runs. Acupuncture. More recovery. More sleep. Less intensity. Less trying to fit everything in.

There are plenty of days I don’t feel like running, strength training or preparing a healthy meal. But I know that I don’t have to enjoy every part of the process to enjoy the benefits. Sometimes the journey can suck.

The same is true for so many healthy habits.

🥣 Eating breakfast with protein & fibre.
💧 Drinking enough water.
🥗 Planning meals ahead.
🚶 Going for a walk instead of scrolling or staring at the tv.

They don’t have to feel easy all the time.

Long term change is sometimes doing things when every ounce of you doesn’t feel like it.

If you find healthy habits challenging, welcome to being a human.
