So, I’m already on Santa’s Naughty list for this year. four weeks into it! *fistpump* or not…

Being Naughty doesn’t always mean doing something of extreme proportions!

It was my birthday last week, and I was also severely lacking any motivation to do, well, anything! I didn’t do much exercise, I couldn’t be bothered to finish my tax return or write my blog, the list goes on. But as someone who suffers severely with weather fluctuations, by the end of the week I realised that the sudden plummet in temperatures, the arrival of rain and the increased lack of natural light available, I knew it was hopefully not long until it passed, however I did my best to counter-act it! 

That’s the thing with problem, if you have one, but aren’t really sure what it is, you can’t begin to solve it. That’s why I am loving Adreine’s Yoga Camp on Youtube! I’ll be 100% honest, I’ve missed a fair few days so am a couple of days behind where I am supposed to be, but that’s okay, because I forgive myself. However, when I beat myself up about it last week I found it dented my motivation to continue further! Adriene’s program has a different mantra every day that you can apply to any difficulties or situations in your life, and I thoroughly recommend it for stretching, relaxation, and mostly, mental well-being!

What else was naughty you’re wondering? This doesn’t sound very wild?

I guess if you’re looking for wild, you should maybe shut this down :) 

My eating habits. WHAT HAPPENED?! It was my birthday dammit. My fiance bought me a Reece’s peanute butter chocolate hamper. Oh my life was it the best thing in the world, but of my golly did it affect my skin and waistline! Now, everyone is allowed off days etc, however this hamper lead me to an off week. Also these things didn’t help: My Birthday and subsequent Frozen Birthday Cake, My Brothers 18th (the day after mine) and subsequent birthday cake, Two nights out in three to celebrate my brothers 18th birthday, and the ‘hangover food’ consumed following said nights out!

OUCH.

I have virtually, temporarily undone ALL of my hard work over the last few weeks and am pretty down in the dumps about it, however, I am choosing to not beat myself up about it. See, I am a human being, and I make mistakes, big and small. All it’s done is remind me that I am on the right track and enjoy my healthy active lifestyle that supports my chosen career path! :) 

Over and Out!
