Want to get fit but have an injury?

I work together with sports therapists and physiotherapists to help rehabilitate clients with injuries (especially knee, back or shoulder/neck problems).

Now that great eggs famine is over (or is it? 😅), I’m able to keep everybody healthy and happy in this household! . With 3 eggs needed per person, we use 9 eggs in one go so we’re trying to limit eggs to one mealtime for now and today we had omelettes for lunch 😊 . And while the base is my favourite fluffy French omelette, different toppings are optional for everybody. So, today I had my own tomato-spinach-feta omelette (top), Silver chose a very simple ham omelette (middle) and Milly opted for my garlic mushroom and feta omelette (bottom). 😋 . These meals are so filling and full of important micronutrients to ensure optimal health. It’s funny how suddenly by switching to home cooking only our food intake is healthier than ever! 😁 We had gotten into the habit of eating out a lot, which is incredible convenient but definitely adds up and now that restaurants are closed, I can cook for my family. ♥️ Kitchen is absolutely laden with fresh vegetables and fruit every day and Milly and I love cooking together since before this crisis we barely had time! 😊 . Going back to fresh homemade meals was my first goal the moment government shut schools down for I wanted to make sure Silver eats the healthiest diet he can while he’s at home and likely less active than he would have been at school. 😊 . We’re making very simple dishes yet it’s all tasty and filling and keeps us from snacking. Don’t get me wrong, we still have some chocolate or crisps after lunch or dinner but the rest of the time we’re not even tempted to go to the cupboards as our blood sugars are fairly even and we don’t experience any energy spikes or crashes and can cruise through the day without falling asleep on the sofa even though there’s not much to do. 😅 . While I understand that everyone’s reality is so completely different right now and we’re all trying to get through this, I would like to encourage you to try and cook something fresh for yourself today. 💚 Looking after yourself is the nicest thing you can do and it will remind you that there are things you still have under control! 🤗 . Lots of love to all of you!♥️ . #omelette #recipe #recipes #cooking #homemade #eggs #hungry #nutrition
How are you all? I mean, how are you REALLY? 💚 . This last week has been incredibly up and down for me going from extreme highs and feeling positive to actually having two panic attacks (but I will touch upon that in my next blog post). With that being said, I do hope everybody has at least somebody to talk to right now, either in person or over a video call as we are all in dire need of human interaction and communication. ♥️ I am so grateful to @madmillybiker for the love and support she gives me daily and most of all I am grateful that I have her for company right now. ♥️ . Thankfully, I am not stressed for not being able to train exactly how I’m used to as training is not the most important aspect of me being healthy and fit, it’s my diet that’s the priority. So, every day we make sure we are cooking something fresh at least once - omelette or scrambled eggs for breakfast or stir fries and other dishes for late lunch/dinner. . This stir fry I whipped up yesterday after we’d eaten dinner to prepare for Milly to take to work today and I had some left over for my own lunch as well. It took me 7 minutes! 😊 . Sauté crushed garlic in sesame oil, then add broccoli and a generous splash of soy sauce and fry for a couple of minutes. Add about half a cup of vegetable stock and then sugar snaps, baby sweet corn and prawns (normally we also use pak choi) and allow it all to cook for a few more minutes. Voila! Super filling, bursting with vitamins and minerals and has barely any calories, which we don’t need a lot of at this point anyway. 😳 . I will keep posting you our dishes in case you’re looking for healthy meal ideas. As long as you have access to fresh veg at this point, you are doing very well 💚💚💚 . Stay strong, all of you, and if you need to talk to anybody then I’m here, DM me and we can do Skype calls and keep one another smiling. 🙂 . #nutritionist #nutrition #stirfry #prawns #vegetables #veg #pescatarian #seafood #healthyfood #healthy #broccoli #eatyourgreens #fiveaday #lunch #dinner
Now is the time for growth and self improvement ♥️ . I don’t want us to focus on the negative and the unknown right now - I want us to seek opportunities and focus on the potential! 😍 . When I went off the grid for 5 weeks back in October/November, I used my daily extra hours to work on my L4 Nutrition assessment, which I had been putting on since July due to lack of time. Then, suddenly, all I had was time - so I got my head down and got to work. 😊 Three months later I was rewarded with this Level 4 qualification and credentials to add to my name - it was soooo worth it! 🔥 . Now, by the looks of it, we are all going to have more time on our hands! ☺️ That’s how I am choosing to look at it anyway. ♥️ I did start to feel a little bit worried and anxious this week for the doom and gloom that’s announced everywhere and then I just decided to switch off. Enough of the negativity! 🙅🏻‍♀️ I refuse to read further scaremongering news articles and I am SO done with all the emails pouring in about the current situation - there is nothing new in there so I’m swiping them all into the bin to not stress myself out. 😌 . As you know, lately I’ve been focusing more on my paid work and family and I’ve been using social media to share laughter and to check in on friends, not to consume or create, hence having more time. ♥️ . The good news is that we will ALL be presented with the extra time that we need: 💙 to slow down; 💙 to rest; 💙 to heal; 💙 to work on ourselves; 💙 to read the books that are in a pile next to our beds; 💙 to really and truly connect with our loved ones; 💙 to do all the things that we have wanted to do but lacked time! 🤗 . Do not look at this phase as a disaster, do not allow it to make you feel helpless. ♥️ Take charge, take back control and make this YOUR time. 🤗 You can do whatever you want, guilt-free! You can garden, read, write, draw, play with your children, do up your home etc. Isn’t this amazing? 😍 . Sending TONS of love out to all of you guys! Have a fantastic week! 🤗 . #positivity #positivevibes #motivation #monday #mood #mondaymotivation #selfimprovement #studying #nutritionist #nutritioncoach #nutrition #happy #family
When you’re feeling the choreo so much that you have to run through it about 2000 times before you get enough 😍🔥😂 . Winston, you legend, thank you for this amazing choreography and sorry for butchering it a little 🤣 . This is the funny thing: I know I am improving and I can see it but I will only accept that for a moment and then I’ll immediately start picking myself apart. I know I could do better (we always can) but why is it so damn hard to just sit there and be proud of myself for longer than 5 minutes? 😅 . Onwards and upwards, always! 🤩 I love to dance and nothing sets my soul on fire more than moving to an insane beat. I love it when the choreo is just that little bit more difficult than I can handle, it keeps me on my toes! . Constructive criticism and helpful feedback welcome! 🤗 . #dance #dancer #danceclass #choreography #choreo #dancing #commercial #music #dancevideo #video #fun #lovedance
🥰HAPPINESS🥰 . Happiness really is in everything that you enjoy doing and sometimes we don’t need to add things to our schedule to be happy again, we need to take things away. 😊 . Since announcing a break from filming educational videos on Nutrition, my life got immediately happier! 🤗♥️ I have had so much time left over for my family and myself plus the added pressure of looming self created deadlines is gone too. Prior to this, my days and weeks were all blending into one another but I can now say with a smile on my face that time has slowed down again and I’ve been able to make the most of every day. ☀️ . I’ve spent a lot of time outside instead of being confined to the four walls of my living room where I choose to usually work when at home. I was even able to help out a client today who was overwhelmed with the condition of her new flat post-move! I stayed behind to help her start going through tons of documents to make space and create a clear working environment so she could focus on her art again. Frankly, I don’t know if I would have thought of the same thing just last weekend since I was far too overwhelmed with my own workload! It’s amazing what a difference a week makes. 😊 . The biggest lesson for me to currently learn is how to maintain balance. To not go too far in any one direction but to keep it varied and interesting doing whatever I feel like doing in the moment and not planning my whole year ahead! 🤗 . Freedom is happiness and happiness is freedom! . I hope my ramblings make any sense today as I’m feeling happy and at peace and I just wanted to share the positivity! 🤗 The videos will definitely be back at some point but not until I have set a reasonable action plan for myself. 😊 . #positivevibes #positivity #positive #weekend #sunday #sundayfunday #smile #happy #smiles #freedom #nutritionist #personaltrainer #nutritioncoach #education #timeout #qualitytime #friends #family
