Time to get back to it!



I posted a while back about how I felt I might have finally found a good mix of classes at the gym.


In addition I’ve also been working on what I eat and drink and I’ve felt so much better for it - in mind as well as body.


However, we’ve just come to the end of a two week long school holiday. 


Have I been sticking rigidly to my healthy eating and my exercise regime? Have I still done gym classes or online workouts?


I’ve done what I do every school holiday it seems, vow to try and still visit the gym or try a class at home via YouTube or similar, and actually do none of it!


A big change this holiday though? I’ve given myself permission to do it, not beat myself up and feel bad, but enjoy myself and do what I’ve got to do to keep my energy and happiness up whilst running round after 3 super energetic and active kids! 


It’s been a lovely two weeks, but we’re all at the point now where they need to go back to school! A break from each other and routine for us all.


Tomorrow not only marks their return to school, it means for me time to go back to the gym - all my classes for the week are booked in and what’s more I’m about to start a health plan to try give myself a little boost back into being healthier. 


I don’t want to feel bloated, sluggish and unhealthy. Therefore tomorrow I’m starting a detox and getting back to exercise.


I’ve done a few squats challenges recently and so I’m also on the search for a new one to undertake. I’m tempted to stick with squats, but have also spotted a couple of other options I may try…


Here’s hoping school and after-school clubs work their magic on my little gremlins this week and that the gym, my detox and some time to reset my body and mind help shine a bit of sparkle back into me! 


Let’s go!!
