The Gym, Exams, Walking and Audiobooks
Hey guys! Sorry this weeks post is a day late, it's been a very busy week. Started off with my gran (bless her for her loveliness) driving me to Newport so that I could take my first set of exams for my gym instructor course. I had a little extra time to revise due to unforeseen train issues...I may have got on the wrong one...in any case! The extra revision time was really nice, I wasn't feeling all that confident about the exams, so it gave me a little more time to get myself comfortable with the areas. It's all very new content for me so it is taking a little time to settle into my brain. Still loving it though!! I think the exams went well in the end, should get my results either today or tomorrow so we'll see!
After all the exams and my poor brain exploding I had my leaflet job to be getting on with which was great, I am still enjoying all the time I get to walk and I have started listening to Harry Potter and the half blood prince on audiobook. Do any of you like listening to audiobooks while walking? I first started listening to audiobooks back when I started running over 5km, I have found that when I listen to music while running long distances I seem to run faster which will fatigue me quicker therefore making my runs ultimately shorter or slower :(. So I decided to try listening to an audiobook and I haven't looked back since.
The greatest part of this week so far - going back to the gym yay!! I haven't been part of a gym for a little while due to not being able to afford it and not particularly enjoying leaving the house... So, I have joined Fitness4Females, a female only gym in Hucclecote (the one I have been promoting by posting leaflets) and so far everyone has been so lovely!! I think that it's really hard to talk to people in a gym environment, everyone seems to be competing with one another over something, it's not welcoming at all. Fitness4Females is so different to any other gym I have been to, it's small but it has everything you need for a complete workout and they have classes everyday (can't wait to get stuck into that kettlebells class)!! Maybe I'll make some friends there :D
See you next week!!

Start at the beginning
Hey guys!
I have had the busiest week so far, and it’s only Tuesday!!
Yesterday was all phone calls, facebook messages and emails. I don’t think I
have ever seen so many emails in my inbox.
The most exciting thing was that I ordered my very first
Juice+ capsules!! They will be arriving this week and I can’t wait to try them
out. I have been looking for something exactly like this for a long time so I
can’t wait to share my experience with you all here. The plan is to take these
everyday alongside exercise and healthy eating. I am hoping that being honest
with you all about how I am feeling will inspire you to make a difference in
your health as well! So watch this space.
I started my new leaflet delivery job today (a nice little
temp job to help me pay for Christmas) which allowed me to walk 24,000 steps in
4 hours, what a work out!! I really enjoy being out of the house, especially
when I can get some fresh air and discover new places and people. Hopefully
this little job will help me be able to connect with people again. I have also decided
to join a gym again, I have been unable to be in a gym for about 6 months so I
am really looking forward to it !!
Sorry about the quick blog today guys but like I said, its
been manic! I will see you tomorrow!

Off to Dance!
Hey guys!
I have had such a busy day of studying, revising for exams on Saturday...I'm a little nervous but my tutor has been very helpful and supportive. The exams are for my fitness instructor course and since I have been studying really hard I am sure I will do okay, still got another 5 days to get all the information under my belt.
I always feel so happy when I have had a constructive day, I wasn't so sure it was going to be one when I woke up. I had a little bit of insomnia on the weekend which resulted in my staying up until 4:30 playing the sims....naughty naughty. Still, managed to sleep a little! So I woke up feeling a little groggy this morning. As soon as I got downstairs I put my walking boots on and took the dog to the park, was a brisk walk as the temperature has decided to plummet over the last few days and I hate the cold but at least it woke me up some! Then I went out on my delivery job for an hour (woke me up some more!) got my 10,000 steps for the day completed by 11am, then did a little exercise before lunch. While I was out walking I couldn't help but think through all my plans for this site, for my life and for my business. It all seems so far in the future...I'm thinking, 5 years down the line, 10 even?! I would be 35 in 10 years time....of course that's daunting. Freaks me out too much sometimes. But, like I said, it's been a good day. My mental state seems to be much more stable/calmer now that I have something that I am working for.
Now I want to share with you something that I have been doing for about 3 months now....DANCE FITNESS!
I think that the title of the class speaks for itself don't you? I found this dance fitness class while looking online for a club to join (an exercise club of course) since I was missing the gym so much I felt I needed to find something to fill that gap.
I was terrified during my first session, but the teacher was lovely and messaged me a few times before I came in and then welcomed me into the hall. It was so reassuring. The lesson is 45 minutes.....they were the most exciting, painful and breath-taking 45 minutes I had experienced in a long time. I was sweating everywhere, I almost drank my whole drink during the session and I laughed so much it was hard to move. I was hooked after the first song, its fast paced, cardio heavy and fun. I recommend it to everyone! All ages would benefit from this as the teacher shows you alternate ways to do the moves and it really is so much fun.
I am off to Dance Fitness in about 2 hours time, I guess I better make myself some food to burn off there ha! (I will ask the teacher if I can put her site on here for all of you to see). See you all again!
