Thoughts of Food

Why is it, when you try to set your mind to something you are faced with nothing but temptation?  I have been trying to get back into my health kick by it is proving to be rather difficult!

This week I have been hitting the gym - or more accurately, classes at the gym.  I have been spinning up a storm, well spinning up a serious sweat.  However as soon as I get home and pop the kettle on I find my self reaching for the biscuits, chocolates or anything sweet!

This morning I went to spin and then kettlercise and I thought it's a fantastic way to start the weekend. Kick start the weekend on a healthy note, and hopefully it will continue.  Now, I have been relatively good but what is worrying is that the only thing that has been on my mind today is food, food, food.  I have tried to keep busy to take my mind off shoving sweet treats onto my gob but it is proving rather difficult.

I hope this is just the craving of sweet things talking and tomorrow will be easier!

I think I will try to set myself a challenge - one to keep me motivated and on track to look good for my fantastic holiday.  I have been hearing rumbles about this '30 day squat challenge'.  I think this sounds challenge worthy.  I guess squats can been done anywhere so there should not be an excuse to fail..... well I guess that is the point.

Right I am off to check out this challenge, mostly to take my mind off food!

Fingers Crossed that Spring has Sprung

Today was one of those glorious days where the sunshine seemed to lift everyone into a happy mood. The cold dark winter months seem to feel as though they last longer and longer every year. Lets hope that winter is finally over for this year.

For the first time in months I felt motivated. Not only motivated to get things done, but motivated to eat healthier food, banish all the stodgy comfort food that I have been packing away and each fresh and healthy.  It's rather unfortunate that you can't get good fruit throughout the year...

I am a great believer that climate effects your weight because the weather seems to have an effect on what you want to eat.  I've always said if Scotland had warmer, sunnier weather I would be skinny and the obesity crisis would not be so prominent.  Changing times and computers have made kids less active, but who remembers when it was a rainy day? Utter boredom ensued, you were trapped, stuck in.... on the rare occasion you could have friends over but you were ultimately still bored.
