BCJ Training

Loving my Extreme Cardio class on Monday nights 💪🏼 it’s DEFINITELY going to be getting me through lockdown 2.0 😂

If you want 30 mins of pure sweat and fun then head over to the Our Park website to sign up 🤩

Also I am loving for this colour - I haven’t worn fluorescent pink so I was 7 and I am HERE FOR IT 💁🏻‍♀️

💪🏼 F*CK THE SCALES 💪🏼

I must admit, in the past I have been a little bit of a slave to the scales - letting it bother me if I don’t see the changes I want. I thought I had come a long way from and was pretty much reformed in the way of scale guilt - however this week shows how easy it is to slip onto negative head spaces 😒

I have been trying to eat better, exercise more effectively and just generally take a little bit more care of myself recently which has lead me to feel the leanest, happiest and strongest I’ve felt in AGES! My clothes fit better, my mindset is better and I have loads more energy - but yet these past few weeks where the scale hasn’t moved/gone up and have massively beaten myself up even though I can still see other positive physical changes!

Why do we do this!? Focus on the scales and disregard how we actually feel/look!? There are SO many other methods of measuring progress that are hell of a lot more accurate than that bloody number! 👀

So I’m saying a f**k you to the scales this week and remembering my progress so far and looking for other, more positive, aspects to my fitness journey 💪🏼💪🏼

Ready for the next 6 weeks of this fitness journey - let’s see what we can get done!! 🤪🤪🤪

🧠 REASONS TO EXERCISE THAT ARE NOT PHYSICAL 🧠

We all know the benefits of exercising relating to the physical changing of our bodies - it is screamed at us from EVERY corner of social media so we can never forgot it.

But the frustrating thing about this is that people then end up only exercising for this reason, and this reason alone, when in actual fact exercising has a plethora of amazing benefits that can help you feel amazing on the INSIDE as well! 👏🏻

You should exercise to feel amazing, and improve your life & mental health, not just because you are trying to punish your body into losing that extra 5 pounds. This ties in with also finding exercise that you love to do - it might not burn the most calories or get you the most sweaty, but if it gets you moving and feeling fantastic then who is anyone to tell you it's not good enough!? 🤷🏻‍♀️

So next time you feel like you are 'dragging' yourself to the gym or on a walk, remember these benefits and see the movement of your body as an investment into your mental wellbeing, rather than a means of getting rid of your belly 💜

Hope you all have a lovely day and move your bodies in whatever the f**k way you want! 🤪💙

🍢 SATAY CHICKEN STRIPS 🍢

Excuse the horrendous photo (definitely took this too quick so I could eat it ASAP 👀) - this here is one of my FAVE healthy meals or high protein snack 🤩

Super quick, super easy and all with ingredients from the cupboard! 👏🏻

Ingredients:
- crunchy peanut butter (love the little peanut bits 🤩)
- soy sauce
- ginger paste
- medium curry powder
- honey

Whack all ingredients into a bowl (I go for around 1tbsp of each) and add a little water to loosen the mixture so it coats the chicken better, throw into a pan - and voila! 🤩

Super tasty, super kick, high protein and bloody delicious! 🥵

Tag me if you give this a go!
