Isn’t it the norm that when you go on holidays and have a fabulous 3 weeks away, you come back refreshed and ready to hit the ground running?

Interestingly I haven’t!

I’ve been home 4 weeks now and you may or may not have noticed I’ve only posted once, and that was in the excitement of my first week of being home! So much for hitting the ground running…

Instead I’ve felt like I lost my mojo.

I have been busy with one:one clients, and that’s been great but my venturing back into the online world however has been seriously stuck in first gear!!

This lack of work mojo has also interestingly coincided with with a lack of body/health mojo.

I haven’t exercised like I usually do (maybe walking 350kms played a part?) and I’ve been particularly lazy with what I’ve been putting in my mouth. More food than I normally would and often not the healthiest of choices. All very aware but doing it anyway!

Almost…I said almost… a case of the don’t cares?

BUT ENOUGH ALREADY!!

Because I do care about how I feel and how I look. I don’t particularly like wobbly bits and one thing that is ever so noticeable post 50 is..if you slacken off, even only for a short time ie 4 weeks, the wobbles WILL quickly appear…damn it!

So what to do?

A RESET button needs to be hit.

  1. A detox to shake it up
  2. Exercise in a way like I haven’t in a long time.

So I do have the detox sorted for you and for me.

4 DAY DETOX GUIDE

Initially my intention was to do a detox challenge but I changed my mind. This complimentary guide, from me to you, is one you can do in your own time and ease your way into it.

Over the next 4 weeks however, I will be working on a 7-14 day detox to have you feeling fab for Summer (or Winter if you’re on the other side)!!

As for the exercise…

I just may have bitten off more than I can chew.

I’ve been following Kayla Itsines on Instagram for sometime. She is a young, vibrant, energetic, extremely fit and business savvy 24 year old personal trainer from Adelaide, Australia.

She has 3.8 million followers on Instagram and I suspect 99.9% are female and their median age is early twenties.

She is transforming their bodies with her 12 Week Bikini Guide. I really like what she is doing.

Why?

Many young girls today are carrying too much weight and it’s not uncommon to see ‘muffin tops’ hanging over their jeans, shorts and skirts. I know this age group (and they aren’t alone) are the heaviest they’ve ever been.

Sadly, despite their carefree attitude, this is not healthy and bad habits may become their norm leading to long term health problems. This is not about weight this is about health, but yes the two are intertwined.

Kayla motivates them to change.

To take control back and to be fit, healthy and confident.

She provides nutritional guides which I ‘ve checked out and they’re all about clean eating and nourishing your body with real food. Not dieting. Sound familiar?

So why am I telling you this?

3 days ago I started Week One of her Bikini Body Guide!

OMG…

I will tell you all about it in my next post. In fact I’m going to post regularly, like a diary of sorts, and let you know how I’m going.

I can tell you right now.. despite my baseline fitness, I’m using muscles that have been in hibernation for some time.

My ‘but’ and thighs hurt and when I sat on the loo last night and I could barely get up!

So much for a 50 something hanging out in a 20 something’s exercise play pen!!

Yes this is Kayla.. and yes she is 24… not 50 something!

Be Healthy, Happy & Amazing!
