Healthy Forever Fitness Motivation

  Weight Loss and Wellness Websites I am always on the hunt for new ideas on health, fitness and well-being. There are some great websites out there full of information.....it's almost too much. This year more than ever, we really need to focus on our overall health and well-being, whether its fitness, eating habits or our mental health. One way or another, over these last 12 months, lockdowns have affected at least one part, if not all of our overall health.  Living a healthy life and being the best version of ourselves is our ultimate goal. We all want to feel our best both physically and mentally but where do we start looking? I have compiled a list of my personal favourites, a few I have been following for years. With just 6 weeks to go before we can start living a semi 'normal' life....it's a good time to start investing some extra time in to our fitness, health and well-being. 9 of the Best Free Websites - My favourites HASfit.com   This is my absolute favourite w

  Achieving your Weight Loss Goals Sometimes too many words are thrown at us when we are trying to lose weight. Goals, planning, schedule, journal, BMI, hip to waist....what does it all really mean? Does it work? In what order do you list all this stuff.  You just want to lose the weight right? It's all a bit overwhelming especially when you have just kick-started your 'Mojo'. Any more researching on diets, exercise and ideal weight scenarios will just leave your motivation, well ...... demotivated. Achieving your weight loss goals - Step 1 What is the first thing you should do? Set a goal ......I know...its one of those words again!! Let me break it all down into steps.  The goal, or in simple terms, the destination, the dream or it's the place you want to be!! Whether its a certain weight, a dress size, a fat percentage range or just for health reason.....this is the Goal .  It's the ultimate place you want to be, your final destination. You really do need this..

 The Weight Loss Journey Weight Loss - The Mindset Eat more fruit and veg, drink more water, exercise for half an hour a day. We know this, we hear this, we have done this? So why is it so difficult to stick to?  Visualisation ...... yep, we have the photo of our successful weight loss and happy face pinned to our fridge door......but it still happens? It's the task to take control and conquer the mental game of fighting between food, cravings and self doubt in exchange for the new healthier version of ourselves that's the annihilator. This is the reason that destroys our efforts. The start of the journey is exciting, the remarks and compliments are motivating and the continued journey of our decreasing dress size is exhilarating. We hit our target, we feel great, we are where we want to be ...... and then it all stops.  We reached our goal weight, we feel better about our health, the way we look, the way our clothes feel....but it's our mindset that has long gone. Why? Be

 Relieve Stress and Anxiety - Start Budgeting Why can budgeting relieve stress? As if three lockdowns in themselves aren't enough to bring us stress and anxiety, we are now finding ourselves with added extra financial stress as our incomes are either reduced to 80% of our wage or worse...no pay at all.  From March 2020 to February 2021 we are hanging in there ..... or maybe just about. But how much more can our purses and spending tolerate? How can we set a budget on so little? Having a plan or a budget can positively affect our emotional state and relieve us from symptoms of stress.  Planning helps us to feel in control and assists us to look seriously at our spending habits and drive them in the right direction. There is also a certain amount of pleasure in knowing that we can make ends meet financially if we put our minds to it.  This is a personal subject close to my heart at present, along with many working people. I have found myself some months, with just a few pennies left
