A healthy chicken dish!

Doing exercise you enjoy isn’t just great for your own happiness but it also means you’ll be more likely to do it consistently for the long term (and therefore get all the lovely health benefits that come with it!) . If you’re having to drag yourself to a dingy gym then maybe it’s worth a rethink! . One of the reasons I love my trips to @clublasanta so much is because they put on a whole bunch of different activities you can do which is a great way to find out what you love (and perhaps what you don’t!) - even with my little bump I managed to give 10 different classes a go which was amazing (of course having to adapt some stuff but more on that in a future post!). My favourites were body balance, Zumba and mobility! Of course it helps that they’re all in the fresh and sunny Lanzarote air !! . What’s your favourite thing to do?
Cut yourself some slack ... sometimes things don’t go to plan! . This is something that’s been reinforced recently. It’s great to have goals and aspirations, but sometimes things get in the way and it’s best to not beat yourself up about it and just do the best you can! . I always thought pregnancy would be a time where I would have the most nutritious diet yet ... boy how wrong was I!! I’ve had terrible pregnancy nausea the past 8 weeks and at first it was really tough to accept that my body was literally craving the most unhealthy foods and rejecting the healthy foods I normally love. But I’ve learnt to accept that I needed to eat whatever my body was craving to stop it feeling even more sick. Plus whenever I could get some fruit and veg in I would - for example cutting it up small and hiding it in pasta sauces like in the photo (a good trick you can do to get your kids to eat more veg too!) . It’s all about doing what you can within your life, being conscious of your choices and listening to what your body wants! . I hope you all have a lovely weekend - perhaps some bbqs are finally on the cards?! ☀️🍻
I’ve been hiding in my own little bubble recently - realised that I hadn’t posted on here in almost a month! So thought I’d better check in and say hi 👋🏻 . Had a lot going on this past month, including finishing one job and starting a new one - it’s been great but also tiring! So my focus has been elsewhere ... plus if I’m honest I’ve also just fallen out of love with instagram a bit I must admit (sorry IG!!) . But I hope I can still bring the odd post that gives you some foodie or fitness inspo ... or just make you smile! It might just be a bit less frequent because I’ve realised there’s more to life than sitting on social media !! . Hope whoever is reading this is well, let me know what you’ve been up to in the comments if you feel like it - anything to do with food, fitness or just life! I’d love to know 😊 . P.s. this was me on honeymoon last September in Italy - hence the tan 😆 England’s weather has had some good days recently but not that good !
Bank holiday bowls . Fancied a pasta dish tonight - simple and satisfying . 🍝 onion, garlic, peppers, mushrooms, peas, chicken (pre cooked chicken breast pieces for speed), fresh pasta, cream, truffle oil, Parmesan & seasoning! . Simply fry off the veggies except peas, cook the pasta & peas separately in boiling water, combine together and add some chicken to heat through, finally add some cream, oil, cheese & seasoning! . Bon appetit!! 😋
WORKING AWAY FROM HOME . I’m a big routine person, so always struggle when I work away from home as I miss my normal routine and my training sessions . However I never let that become an excuse to do nothing - always go prepared! . I’m not running due to injury so when I stayed away with work last week I instead took a few pieces of light equipment with me (see picture!) and found a bench to make my own for 20 mins! . See the videos for some ideas of the things you can do with just a bench and some resistance bands 👍🏼 . I also got up super early to go for a swim in the Olympic Village 50m pool - it’s so nice there, I highly recommend a visit!! . What’s your go-to exercise when you travel? . (P.s. this video was sped up slightly in case you were wondering!!)
WHATS YOUR GO TO BREAKFAST? . I’d really like to know! . My go to breakfasts are: - muesli with milk & berries - porridge with seeds, honey & fruit (in the winter) - overnight oats with seeds & fruit - yogurt with fruit & either muesli or some cut up energy balls / bar . Sometimes I find these a bit “same old” ... id love to know what your favourite breakfasts are as I fancy a change!!? Let me know down below 😄👍🏼👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 x
Are you a treadmill runner or an outdoor runner? . I only ever go on the treadmill if I have to, and when I do I have an interval session to stave off the boredom! . For me part of the enjoyment of running is feeling the wind in your hair, the elements on your skin and seeing the beautiful countryside go by! . Who had a weekend walk or run this Easter? What a weekend for it ☀️🥰
🐣 So excited for the Easter weekend!! It's one of my favourite weekends of the year! 🍫 The perfect time for: - spending time relaxing with family & friends - cooking up a storm in the kitchen (or outside if the weather is as predicted!) - having a detox from social media if things have been a bit full on - getting outdoors and moving (I plan on doing lots of gardening!) - you guessed it … indulging in some choccy - oh yerrrr! 🐥 Enjoy it my friends! 🍗 I plan on getting the BBQ out and making some delicious summery grub just like this - look out for it on my insta stories! 🤷🏼‍♀️ What are your plans!?
Practicing yoga can build strength, improve flexibility and calm the mind - I believe everyone can benefit from a bit of yoga in their lives and it’s something I regularly recommend to clients and friends to enhance holistic health . If you can’t get to or afford a class there are plenty of free options available on YouTube: @adrienelouise @sarahbethyoga @catmeffan are all teachers I regularly practice with and would recommend!
