It’s been nearly 4 months since I left my old business, previously I started work between 7 and 7.30am and finished around 5pm, every weekday, plus the occasional Saturday morning. For the first few months of my ‘retirement’ I took it easy and often didn’t get out of bed till 9am, followed by a leisurely walk with the dog. I didn’t really start to do anything until late morning, and often that was just a bit of prep for my lunch or the evening meal.
It was nice for a while, but I’m passed that now!
Not one to take it easy for too long; I’ve set up my nutritional business HillStart, signed up for an Advanced Diploma and have started a massive extension and home renovation project. Over the last few weeks I’ve felt a bit frustrated with myself about how much I am achieving each day. My lovely hubby keeps telling me that I need to take it easy, after all, the idea of leaving my previous business was to allow me more time for ‘me’. I hear him, however I also know that I will feel better when I can tick some jobs off the list.
So this morning I got up at 6.15am to get to the gym for a 6.45am BodyPump class! I’m now sitting in their lounge writing this. I’m still feeling a little shell-shocked from the early start and intensive workout, but I’ve had a good breakfast, and now I’m about to leave to meet a potential new client. All this before 10am!
Will I do it every morning? Probably not! But today I’m feeling pretty smug so you never know!
Is weight an effective measure of health?
Time and time again I speak to people whose main aim and goal is to lose weight, because they think that by losing weight they will be happier and healthier.Stop thinking about the ‘goal’ weight and start thinking about how healthy you want to feel, because when you feel healthy you will find that you are less bothered about what the scales are saying. You will have more energy and vitality and, if you need to, you will lose weight. It’s a natural balance between being well fed and well nourished.
