Positivity
Life has shown us that positivity as just was easy as negativity. Think positive, be positive and positive things should come your way

Honestly. Speaking the truth. The ‘diet’ that works for you is the one where you live with it not for it. Eating healthier but understanding that you also need to live.

We are taking steps to be healthier now but there will be times where we don’t eat good meals or snack too because we are humans

Stop Googleing the best diet for fat loss

Come on… you know you’ve done this!?

And usually it is at at time when you want to look better right?

Lets get clear on something…

Every diet out there is going to give you a result

It’s keeping the result where you struggle

You have lost weight before, you know how to do it

But

Each time you’ve lost weight you have gone for the fastest result possible

Which

Usually involves a crazy low calorie diet or cutting out all the good stuff that you like

Here lies the problem…

… it was so restrictive that you couldn’t keep it going and the inevitable happened …

… you caved in and drifted back to your previous ways

To give you ultimate clarity — the only diet that is going to work for you

Is the one that works for your lifestyle ‘on average’

My tip here is to remember that weekends and holidays are real

You can’t avoid the them

I know that sounds stupidly obvious

But

Most of us don’t have a realistic head on when deciding how to tackle how we look and feel

Bringing in a professional is always going to be the key

Someone that knows and understands your lifestyle and can design something for you that is bullet proof and guarantees you forward moving success.

Are you someone that struggles with the weekends?

Type yes in the comments if you are

Boston’s new tool
We had a £10 Amazon voucher so we purchased a food heater for when he’s at work. It can plug in to the socket or at a lower voltage can work when driving in the van.
He’s had stewed steak and even heated up his ready meal.
We will keep you up to date with what he’s putting in it

So as you know last weekend was big for me
It shook my confidence and I decided that this weekend I wasn’t attending my normal class and was unsure if I was going to continue my .
I went to the caravan with my mum and dad because I didn’t want to feel guilt about not attending today and to be able to take some time to reflect.
I got Boston to send me the videos from Sunday and finally plucked up the courage to watch them. I also watched the first ever video of me sparring and tried to compare them.
I love doing and I finally found an exercise I actually enjoy. My issue was I didn’t think I’d made much progress, particularly from last competition to this one however, being able to have the time to look back on my entire 3 and half year journey I’ve realised that this is . I shouldn’t compare myself to others as , an individual, that follows her own path. What contributed to my feelings was the fact that I’d faced hate, not criticism but hate on social media and although as two individual circumstances I was alright with them, put them together and it hurt me a lot mentally.
However, whether you enjoy it or not, kickboxing is here to stay. Deep down inside I know that this is the right decision for me, I’ve changed so much within myself and that’s because, not only have I been able to gain fitness, I’ve also gained confidence and friends.
I know this is a long post, I feel it’s a strength of mine, but if you’re still here then thank you. If you’ve read some do my previous posts you will know that I won’t shy away from talking about how I feel.
Lastly I would like to thank those people who have helped me through the last week. Boston has supported me immensely, wiping away my tears, listening to me talk about how I feel and enabling me to realise that from the start to now I have made progress and I can do this. My best friend who reached out to me as always, ensuring I take the time to think about what is best for me. Also those that have told me how well I did (even if at the time I wasn’t able to accept that, thank you

Do you shop with a list?
We often go with a list of things we need that we don’t get weekly but some things we know we always get so they don’t go on a list

Here we are. Two photos, one year difference. Same competition.
Yesterday was a huge day for me. In fact I’m still quite emotional about it. It was never about winning, I just wanted to be better than before, to be closer in points than last year. After having both my points and con fights however I walked away from this competition at probably one of my lowest, yes I got in the mats, I overcame that last year, this year was suppose to be better. In my heart and in my mind is wasn’t and the truth is I don’t feel like continuing. Even on reflection today this is still how I’m feeling, others can say how much better I was, but I feel how I feel and I can’t help that. For now I’m not sure what my future is going to look like with kickboxing but the boys will definitely be carrying on

Okay the days round up

Little J’s first time stepping on the competitive mat for nearly 9 months. 4 others in his points category. His first fight was against someone who he really gets on with at the club and he took a couple of blows, he was able to compose himself to get to end of the round, his other two rounds went well and he walked away with a 3rd 🥉medal. You can see how happy he is with himself and we are proud of him for making it through after how he struggles at times during fights.

K-Dog entered himself in for points, grand championship and the team event. He faced good competition in his points, winning 2 out of 4 rounds and walked away with 3rd 🥉 place. Last year he won the grand championship and he was very determined to get it again, he took it to final and then extra time but ended up losing by 2 points and was a little frustrated with the round, walking away with a 2nd 🥈 place. He picked himself back up again and went straight back in to the team event, his team won on an accumulative score.

Boston entered himself in to points, light con and team event. He’s still getting back to his fitness after having such a long period of due to illness and although scored some good points he ended up taking 5th place in his. His light con was a tough category and he hasn’t fought competitively in this since before his time off. He did his best and walked away 4th. He was on the opposite team during the team event and ended up runner up for this.

KB entered herself in to points and light con. She had 2 other in her category was able to score a couple of points in her two rounds and came 3rd 🥉as can be seen in the photo. Her light con had 3 others in her category and she ended up 4th. Tomorrow maybe a better post about how she got on as she is still very overwhelmed with what happened today

We would just like to thank all of our team mates who joined us at the inter club competition. There was so much support.

Thank you

Just wanted to say thank you to those who showed supported last night. Like was said in the post, I’ve hit the point in life I can brush it off, just wanted to highlight what can be said on the internet. We don’t even have that many followers but it just goes to show people can be cruel no matter what!!!
Onwards and upwards though!!!
