How To Overcome The Winter-Workout Blues

The days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder and it's getting harder to workout. None of these things make it any easier to workout first thing in the morning or after work. It's miserable, it's cold, and the last thing you want to do is start working out. I get it. So what's… Continue reading How To Overcome The Winter-Workout Blues

It's true that the last mile is always the hardest. Hands down this past two weeks of uni have been very difficult for me in terms of my motivation. I am a very motivated person, but something is happening in these last couple of weeks - and I know for a fact by the memes… Continue reading Finding Motivation for the Last Mile…

Live In the Now.

Recently I've been thinking about my motivation towards university, as admittedly it's been a lot lower than what it usually is. Although this doesn't worry me, because I know my determination will see me through, it made me question why I feel the way I do.

We aren’t all self-obssesed…

Probably one of the most important blog posts that I've written, and I think this is something that needs to be said. Along with the fitness lifestyle comes the association that those who dedicate themselves to living this way, are self-centered, self-obsessed, and vain. Here's why this simply isn't the case.

Edamame Pasta Dish

I've recently become so obsessed with using pasta alternatives such as edamame or black bean spaghetti! I prefer it to whole wheat spaghetti, as it actually offers nutritional benefits such as 22g of protein per 50g (amazing!) plus it's also lower in carbohydrates, with only 16g per 100g.  Also, it is gluten-free, vegan, and a great source of… Continue reading Edamame Pasta Dish

A lack of motivation can make you feel so far from your goals, but this is most certainly not the case and a simple change in your outlook can help almost immediately. Hopefully,  this post will help you to get… Continue reading How to Stay Motivated
