USN | 12 Week Body Makeover Challenge

Here we go 2015... 

As of yesterday, with the start of a brand new week in the new year, I started changing my lifestyle. 


Healthy fit vibes along with the USN 12 week challenge is what I have taken on.
No more smoking or drinking like a fish. 
From here on in I'll be (attempting) alcohol free weekdays, with the exception of a glass or two of red wine with dinner... which is good for your heart any way as they say! 

I bought dumbbells for working out with and will be training hard to become toned and fit!
Already my muscles are aching in the best possible way after a seriously sweaty workout yesterday after work including a run around the island with my dumbbells and a bunch of lunges, squats and stomach crunches!
This morning I got up bright and early and went for a run again followed by more lunges, squats and stomach crunches!

Watch this space.....!
In 12 weeks time I'm going to be ripped, fit and feeling great!!! 


I want to be the happiest and most adventurous version of myself. 
I want to be the best version of myself - the healthiest and the most open-minded. 


I want to embrace opportunities that come my way and in a realistic sense, I want to start to say YES to everything instead of making excuses or shying away from certain possibilities. 
I want to make the most of life and everything that it has to offer. 

This year I have a stack of goals and resolutions:
  • I aim to finish my second novel by May this year.
  • Not smoke a cigarette - my last drag was over this past weekend while out at a bar... 
  • Conquer my fear and go Bungee Jumping
  • Visit 2-3 countries I haven't been to before (Malawi and Bali have already been set in stone.... but I have India in my mind too for this year depending on how my finances are looking!).

The USN 12 Week Challenge will finish on the 23rd March for me and I will be documenting my journey into fitness and health - and at the end of the challenge I will be showing you a before and after collage of my results! 

Wish me luck!



2015 is my year! 

Boom!

Night Terrors, Sleep Walking, Hormone Imbalance and Changing Your Life

Image
I've started to get night terrors again. In the past, I've always had someone next to me to grab me by the shoulders, calm me down and soothe me back to sleep. Now, I have no one. It was my very first experience of dealing with it alone. On Monday night I fell asleep early, around 8pm. I curled into bed with my hot water bottle by my feet and was grateful that a hard day was coming to an end. I'd resigned from my job... tears had been shed. I'd made the big decision to leave Cape Town where I had tried so hard to build a life for myself. A huge part of me felt (feels) like a failure. So needless to say, I was exhausted, falling into a quick, dreamless slumber. Then, suddenly, I shot up in bed... heart hammering out of my chest, gasping for breath. I was literally terrified. Even today, I can't quite figure out what I was doing but I think I thought there was something in the bed with me. I started throwing the blankets around, looking for 'something.' When ...

Honesty Entering 2015

Image
What is a blog if it isn't honest? I think a lot of us bloggers set up an account, brag about our outfits or latest beauty products, share bits of our materialistic lives and gush about how fabulous and glitzy we can be (I'm just generalizing here by the way. There are many of you that I absolutely love to keep up to date with that have actual interesting things to say!)  Well, it's a new year in 1 day and 11 hours and I have something to admit. I haven't been honest with any of you. You see... 2014 was a pretty shitty year for me for lack of better words. In fact, they are the perfect words - because it was shitty. Yet here I was trying to coax you into trying some silly horse shampoo or publishing a post about buying a pair of bad quality shoes every month to show to you like it really even mattered?!  There were a small collection of 'real' posts I suppose - although I never really gave too much away. For example, there was the time back in June when my best ...
