Today I came across an ad for a local personal training studio promoting a "fitness challenge.  The ad read, " we guarantee to get your 25 year old body back".

​YAHOOO........SIGN ME UP......I'M EXCITED ALREADY!!!!!

​At 25 I had a waist, perky boobs and​ hail damage free thighs. I was in Bali wearing my pink & silver crochet bikini, you remember the ones, they gave you a weird spotted tanned butt. (who else had one?)

​I might be still bouncing back & forth to Bali, but that is about the only thing that is the same. It is never going to happen, as much as I would love to, I will not get  my 25 year old body back. But, hey, does it really matter.. I have had loads of adventures and misadventures, I married my best friend, I became a mum and yes there has been some heart ache, but I have created a life that I love!

​It might be fun to believe, even for a short time you can get a 25 year old body, but you know as well as I do it is never going to happen. Making unrealistic goals is only setting yourself   up for failure and frustration.  It will leave you disappointed & unmotivated, making it impossible for you to move forward in your fitness journey.

​So accept time has moved on, accept yourself & set goals which are achievable for YOU. Get real about yourself, enjoy your successes, achieving your goals, celebrate your wins and being a Wealthier Healthier YOU

OK, its the afternoon & I need something quick & easy but  still want it to have yummy goodness.  I am no 'master chef" so these are my take on a quick snack...."FLAXSEED  CHIPS" to the rescue. The really good thing about these chips is you can get by with only a couple of ingredients or you can get excited by adding more flavours or top with dips or spreads. If you don't eat them all they will be good for about 2 weeks in an airtight container. 
​INGREDIENTS: 1 cup flaxseed meal, 2 tbsp. parmesan, 1/2 cup water (sometimes I use coconut water), 1 tbspn mixed seeds (optional), chilli flakes (optional) pinch of salt (optional) . Pre heat oven 200 degrees, mix all ingredients and put in a lightly sprayed baking tray spread out so thin.  Cook for 15 minutes and allow to cool down so becomes crunchy. Flaxseeds loads of omega3 & fibre.

Don't you love your AHAAA moments, that point of time when you finally get it. Here is the thing unless you have AHAAA moments you wont be creating a life that you love! I have been in the fitness industry for over 20 years & I have seen many people on the "diet roller coaster" achieving amazing results & then struggling to maintain or some even failing.  I know there was more to just training clients on what to do, you  need to  know how to & why. I am passionate about getting people living the life of their dreams . For any long lasting wellness journey  you need to work on what is happening inside your head before you can start working on your body. To kick start your "AHAAAA" moment imagine you are living your dream life.... What does it look like and what would living your dream life do for you, how would your life be different?  Now is the time to take control & start creating a life you love.
