#transition week

I will be emotionally intelligent.

Unless it’s a bad day. 🌊✨

The first week in January for most people marks the start of their new diet and healthy lifestyle. December is always an indulgent month and by the time January comes round, you make those promises to yourself that things are going to change. I have seen people in the past throw away all the left over food, sweets etc in a bid to start a new healthy lifestyle. Well personally I hate food waste, it really does drive me mad and also I think it is a sure fire way to fail if you change your lifestyle so dramatically.

With this is mind I am declaring the first week in January is “Transition Week”. Now this isn’t a total cop out, it actually makes sense. Give yourself a week to starting drinking more water, lots of green tea and the odd coffee or even the odd glass of wine. Also give yourself a week to slowly introduce the Paleo Diet to your daily lifestyle, use up the leftovers, finish off those last few treats but make sure that where you can you are eating and drinking according to the rules of Paleo Diet and doing some form of daily exercise like a great long walk (lets face it the gym will be mad busy this week). I also believe that you should not weigh yourself until after Transition Week, stepping on the scales on January 1st is enough to bring on the blues so instead give yourself a weeks grace but be active and follow the Paleo Diet where possible but don’t beat yourself up if you eat the last of the Christmas cake or meet your friend for a belated Christmas drink.

...felt like a slacker at the time, but I was able to CRUSH today's workout.

DO NOT underestimate rest days, people.

My new, much stronger core was evident toward the end.

Super sleepy through most of it, but I did good.
