Fabulous Feb!

It’s Fabulous February this month! Super excited as it is my birthday month and it is the month of love! So far so good, my fitness resolutions are going according to plan, and the fitness plan has started with a bang in Feb. Special shout out to Papa J for completing his first Warrior race challenge on the first of Feb. 18 kilometres of the very tough black ops challenge! Well done Papa J! #Superproud! I am certain that I probably would not have lasted through all those challenges….one day is one day!

 

January saw me commencing with my new training programme at Dream Body Fitness, it had been a while since I had been there. I started my detox week mid - January and had to do my 7 days of no carbs, no dairy and no sugar! That was tough but managed to detox and came out 2kgs lighter. The purpose though of the detox is exactly that, to clear out the system and start getting the fat burning process going. I survived a whole week of veggie eating and meat eating and egg eating and I must say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be but I sure am glad that I am on phase 2 of the plan which still is sugar free but allows me to have fruit, carbs and dairy and also has 2 days of nutritional holidays during the week.

 

For the month of February I have decided to challenge myself and do more as the saying goes ‘if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you”.

 

 Last month I had a 50km running challenge which I managed to complete by mid- January so this month I have opted to increase the running challenge to at least 60km and be consist in my gym work outs with no excuses given (Thanks to Papa J I know that certain fitness levels are possible if you keep your mind to it). This is a tough one as I am fully back at work and there are always too few hours in a day to do all the things I would like to. That said, I will continue pressing on….that’s always the key thing with any fitness journey to keep at it despite the challenges.

Being a working mom and fitting in a fitness regime is a challenge I can attest to, but I have learnt to always make a plan and I hope that you do too despite the everyday job and home life that also need attention. What will you do differently this month to improve your fitness levels??? Wishing all the yummy mummies out there a Fabulous Feb!
