How did you sleep last night?

1/29/2020

So many people seem to be struggling with sleep for so many reasons...how do you sleep? Is it a concern for you?

We ideally should be getting 6-8 hours a night for optimum health...sleep is so vital for your wellbeing......mental health...energy levels...loads of important things...

Here are some tips for you if you are struggling...

1. Cut down on sugary processed foods...

2. Watch your caffeine and alcohol intake

3. Get some exercise

4. Try to establish a bedtime routine....bath, good book, room dark etc

I think sleep is not something that should be underestimated so maybe try some of these tips if you are lacking sleep and it is making you feel rubbish..

In my 30 Day Weight Loss and Wellness group we work on self care and sleep is one of the things I try to help them with..with good success usually...just some small tweaks can help loads...

Let me know if you try any of this..

Packed lunches vs school dinners

1/14/2020

I have seen this on the news this morning and I would love to get your thoughts on this......

Do your kids or grandkids take packed lunches or have school dinners?

The news is reporting how kids packed lunches are still filled with unhealthy things...sugary treats etc however they did also report (but it was snuck in not a headline) that sugar levels in packed lunches have dropped...

I think that lots of us are aware of the importance of feeding our kids as well as we can.......someone did say on the news when interviewed that her view was that it was expensive to get healthy snacks for her kids lunchbox.......what do you think?

My son is in year one and so he gets free school dinners at the moment which we have gone with...most days he tells me has had fish so who knows...BUT he always has a dessert........so is that healthy?

Its a minefield isn't it.....how to feed your kids healthy food that they will actually eat and enjoy.........my daughter is at secondary school and has her own money to take...so that becomes another minefield as I have no control really as to what she spends it on

As always I continue to feed them as best as I can at home.....giving them an appreciation for home cooked meals....but everything in moderation....and always referring to foods around health...so the language I use is " good or bad for your skin, teeth, muscles etc" never using language around making you put weight on etc..

Also my kids are active, they do lots of exercise so thats important as well...

I would love to get your thoughts on this.....do your kids take packed lunches? How do you make them healthy? Do you worry about your kids diet?

How many diets do you reckon you have done?

January...the telly is full of programmes about diets isn't it....I can't help watching them even though I have probably over the years done pretty much every diet going!!!

I find them compulsive viewing even though I absolutely know that the only way to lose weight and keep it off is to burn off more fuel than we take on board through food..

There are many different ways to do that and it really is not one size fits all, and that is why in my weight loss groups we try a different theme each week to see what works best for every individual, however the simple science always boils down to the fact you lose weight when you are in a calorie deficit

So how many diets have you done over the years.......what has worked and what has not? Are you currently on a "diet"? Or does the thought of dieting make you reach for the biscuit tin????

I don't like to deprive myself of anything...that is why I am not doing dry January...it just makes me want the thing I have given up even more....that is why on my course we don't deprive ourselves of anything completely..everything in moderation....

Would love to hear your thoughts as we go into 2020......
