BIRCHER || Because a 36 degree day calls for my delicious summer coconut Bircher muesli!
This recipe is loaded with fibre, protein, healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals – the perfect start to anyone’s day. I’ve also purposely added in the hemp seeds as not only are they are packed full of essential fatty acids but they are a great protein source making this a perfect post morning workout option too.
Fresh, tasty and easy to prep the night before! Link in bio - go make this, you wont regret it ☀️#lifestylelucyrecipe
MINDSET || A post worth reading til the end!
Ahhhh running - Its a love hate relationship! This morning I went for a run, which gave me a lot of time with my thoughts.. 🤣 ill entertain you with a few of the many thoughts I had along the way
- Why am I doing this?
- Maybe I should just walk
- I’ll just do half the distance I set out to do
- How do people enjoy this
- I feel sorry for everyone I’m running passed huffing and puffing along the way
- FML I’m slow
BUT then something clicked... Yeah ok I’m not the best runner, especially with a bad knee as well as asthma. However I signed myself up to the HBF run in May - so this is all on me!
The way I now see it is - I can keep being negative and hating it OR I can keep a positive mind and try to get the best out of a bad situation which isn’t really that bad in the grand scheme of things.
So here is a reminder that next time you aren’t particularly enjoying something, keep a positive mind.. my last 2kms were actually my most enjoyable - I took in the beautiful view, I was grateful that I even had two legs to run on and that I was fit and healthy.
So here’s a Thursday thought for you all - It’s amazing how your mindset can change a situation in an instance!
Oh and this mornings run was worth it, knowing I set out to do something I didn’t want to do and I’m now on an epic endorphin high! #mindsetiseverything #hbfrun
Don’t mind me, I’m crying on the inside!
2 weeks of procrastination, a morning of making excuses as to why I shouldn’t run today, more coffee than what I normally consume - let’s just say I don’t like running and I don’t know why I’ve done this to myself!
For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about - I signed up to do another ‘fun’ run 2 weeks ago.
I’m now asking myself why? I really don’t enjoy it, I’ve got a bad knee and it is now a big challenge I’ve got to face.
I find running more of a mental challenge than physical.. Anyways I guess I’m jumping on here, writing this post as another form of procrastination as I sit here in my car all geared up ready for a run!

HEALTHY || What does healthy mean to you? My perception of a healthy body has changed a lot over the last 10 years. You name it, I’ve done it - from macro and calorie counting, to over training, to not listening to my body, from restrictions to binging and excluding myself from social situations with never ending excuses.
I may have looked the part, however it wasn’t healthy - mentally or physically.
So here is a little reminder that skinny doesn’t always mean healthy and your healthiest weight isn’t necessarily always going to be your lightest.
It’s so important to find that balance and have a healthy relationship with food and exercise.
Train smart, eat well and enjoy the good things in life - all in moderation!
Happy Monday lovers 😘
