11 THINGS YOU (PROBS) DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME

BLOGGER LOVE LIST

I'm feeling the online blogger love at the minute and so thought I'd let you all in on a few of my fav's as they might be right up your alley also. To be honest I follow very few blogs these days, but will trawl around to read random articles here and there. There are a very small handful that I am on every week without fail and those are the ones you see below.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A MORNING ROUTINE

Do you find you get to the end of your day, and amongst tending to your partner, family, friends, emails, the boss, colleagues, perhaps children, the dirty dishes, that never-ending to-do list, the missed calls from your mum, and the fact that you still haven't been to the gym... You feel like you never get a split second to yourself?

Enter the brilliance of a Morning Routine.

YOUR FREEBIE INITIAL CONSULT IN 5 EASY STEPS

It seems the more clients I meet the more I am seeing that most people are walking away with the same advice from me during their initial consult. No matter where their diet may be at, how much water they are drinking, sleep they're getting, and so on... the same grass roots stuff applies and it also seems to be the basic stuff we neglect, forget about, or skim the surface of... whether due to a lack of education around it, or simply missing it trying to attain health further a field - with a myriad of supplements, chronic dieting, another wonder pill, or excessive exercise.

So I'm here to share with you what I am seeing more and more in all my initial consultations. Look at this as a freebie consult if you will. And really have a look at your own life to see if you are applying these. Coz like I said, they can be easy to forget.

A NEW KIND OF EATING DISORDER

There's a new type of eating disorder going around, and just like the sniffles your bestie gave you, this too could be passed on if you're hanging in the wrong crowd. The ironic thing is that this eating disorder, is one where you're obsessed with healthy foods...

NO CALORIE COUNTING. NO ROUGH CARDIO... MOVE YOUR BODY WITH LOVE

When you think of weight loss what type of exercise springs to mind? Put your hand up if cardio was the first thing that popped into your head. Unfortunately it isn’t always the case and I want to delve a bit deeper into why and what may work better for you.

COMAPRISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY

Ever noticed that when you're comparing yourself to another human being - be it their career, their gorgeous long hair, their golden tan, the fact that they are on holiday more than you, can stick to a sugar free diet more than you, has a better body than you, more energy than you, or a relationship longer than yours... You never end up feeling better about yourself?

It's a simple fact of life and one we all understand - comparing ourself to another is not a joyful act, yet we still do it.

But what about comparison of ourself, to our own self?

5 QUICK TIPS FOR OVERWHELM

This past weekend we had a close friend come to stay with us. He also brought along his 'light machine' which is what his business is based around. Without going into any great depths of it as I'm still not really sure how to explain the magnificence of what it is, after a Friday night workshop he ran in town, there was an abundance of people wanting to see him for private sessions. And so has been the last 3 days for me, in my home, people coming in and out, in and out, having cups of tea and bantering away with new found friends, on our kitchen deck and around the house. It's been beautiful to see, feel, and be a part of, but it has also been mind blowing for me, left me feeling a little scattered, and when I have up to a dozen people in my house all day long til 9pm at night some evenings, I have found myself a little overwhelmed, frustrated and in need of a Christie-Bubble.

A LITTLE BIT OF BOOK LOVE RIGHT NOW

I've got to be the worlds slowest reader so when I can actually offer you more than one book that I'm into... it means I've been reading more than usual, or I haven't written a post like this in months. And I gotta say it's been a bit of both!

NEW PROTEIN BALLS ON THE MARKET ---> WITH MORE CRAP THAN A SEWER. HERE ARE 2 FAR BETTER RECIPES

Recently, I was rather excited to check out a new range of products on the market from one of Australia's leading supplement companies, as they had teamed up with one of Australia's leading health and fitness personalities. When I found out where I could get my hands on these products, I excitedly popped on over on my lunch break with my sister to have a look, and was eager to try the protein balls I had seen on social media (post lunch sweet treat right?)

Such. A. Dis. A. Pointment.
