Dry January still 😇

Still dry :) 22 days down and it's becoming even easier - not thinking about pouring a glass of wine! Do miss having a glass with my Sunday roast though... however the other benefit is that with my new healthy eating plus dry jan I have so far lost 3.5kg of fat since 31st Dec - now to build it back as muscle :)

I just discovered this really awesome site. Emotionalbaggagecheck.com

It’s a site that lets you leave the things that are bothering you anonymously. When someone chooses to “carry your baggage" they’ll get your submission, and send a song and a personal note to your email address through the site (it’s never shown publicly) that may help you with what you’re going through. I think this is an amazing idea! Don’t keep scrolling past this cause it’s actually worth checking out! :)

This is actually really helpful; your email is kept private and there’s no log in or sign up required. Even typing my problems out seemed to help, and you can always change your mind at any point in time. The site itself has a very calming atmosphere and I’d recommend it to all of my followers who either like helping people or have a few things to get off their chest (or both!) This idea really is pretty amazing.

Wow. Fab idea. I've been a bit low this week. Had some things going on and a lot of balls to juggle. Its left me drained and with nothing let for me. I think we all have those days, or weeks or years... However it's always better to share and to talk about things than to keep them bottled up to brew into something even bigger. What a great idea to create a safe and anonymous site where you can share your troubles and support others who are in the same boat. Happy Sunday.

Here is the link to the foundations of Yoga with Adriene. Find much more information on her blog as well as all of her videos via YouTube.

Monday and Tuesday.. Strength sessions... Arms then legs. Was inspired by a young lady - small yet compact and STRONG! She was absolutely rocking the weights, lifting things I could only imagine lifting! Days 8-10 weds, thurs and Friday this week have been used to restart my yoga practice. I started Wednesday with a significant headache which progressed into a major migraine... Felt far too ill to exercise or even go to work by Thursday. Having discovered a fantastic online Yoga site, http://yogawithadriene.com I managed to do some restorative yoga each day until by Friday I was able to manage the yoga for beginners session and work through some of the poses in more depth using Adriene's "Foundations of Yoga" videos and blog posts. This is a really excellent site for anybody wanting to try out some yoga or get back into the practice. I really recommend it. Now for a little time with my mat... Love yoga. Namaste my friends.

Words to live by every day. Never give up even when things don't go your way. Strive for progress not perfection!

Family cycle for part of today's #lentchallenge. Pouring with rain, plenty of puddles to ride through fast! Ended up running with my bike and pushing Henry on his balance bike... Think an upgrade to some pedals are required! At least I practised my bike handling skills for transitions! Managed an hour of yoga this morning too. Haven't done much in a long time. Felt good to get back to some poses, especially around my hips which are very tight. I do love a good stretch!

On this day in 1978 the very first 15 pioneers of triathlon took on the very first iron man to settle a score as to whether a swimmer, a cyclist or a runner was the fittest and who would win an iconic race!

Day 4 #lentchallenge 5.6k run/hike/scramble! Got a little distracted and ended up running up beside the waterfall and scrambling / gorge walking back down!

#lent challenge #day4

Crazy day! Running around Builth Wells with foils in my hair and then a nice easy (ahem) sprint session in the pool. Yummy scallops and sweet potato for supper. Day 3 #lentchallenge done.

Day 2 #lentchallenge 😂 got to love a gym pose!

#lentchallenge #day2

So instead of giving things up for lent - with the exception of alcohol :'( I have decided to use it as an excuse to rid myself of excuses! My #lentchallenge is to exercise every day until Easter. This successfully then overlaps into the #5x50 challenge which starts on 29th March meaning 89 or so days of exercise. Ever one for a challenge I then want to add #WillofIron to the end and make a full 96 days culminating in an Ironman over the last week. Sound like fun? Join me! I will post the links to the official challenges over the next few days along with compulsory cheesy and ever so not serious training photos! Good luck!
