Healthy Habit Challenge

So on the 1st September I started a huge challenge which I plan on carrying ot for an entire year. YouTube channel link I have 2 weddings next year, one in August which I am a bridesmaid for and the second is in September and in Cyprus. So instead of me waiting for a month before and crash dieting, I have decided to start building healthy habits throughout the year which are going to benefit me in the long run. They say it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. I am going to pick a variety of challenges and do a new one every 21 days for the entire year. I started the first on September 1st which is drinking a minimum of 3 litres of water a day. It is now 17 days in and I can definitely see the benefits already. My skin is much better, I have lost body fat as I am naturally picking healthier options and I have an increase in energy. I have started a YouTube channel to document the whole journey Andy give tips on what works and what doesn't. tips  on how to drink mo...

Monteggia Fracture

Say what??? Exactly my thoughts! On Sunday 16th July I did a very good morning Oly session (Olympic lifting) I felt great and very well worked out. At about 5pm that evening, Ryan began his very insistent persuasion to get me back to the gym for another session. The more I said no the more persistent he got... so I went. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, luckily one of the girls, Vic was doing a De-load week and said I could do it with her. It was 3 rounds of: 400m run 10 KB snatch 10 box jumps 10 Paused Chest to bar. It was going great until the last round. It was very hot at this point and I was sweating everywhere, including my hands. So when I jumped up to perform my last round of chest to bar (pull ups in my case) I knew it was coming! As I pulled away on the 7th pull up, I slipped and landed on my arm, feeling the most sicking snap! Although I genuinely didn't feel much pain, I knew immediately it was broken. You can see me in the back jumping and f...

Trip of a Life Time 2014

January 2013 after my brother, Jonathan and girlfriend Lulani had come to visit us for Christmas - I really wanted to go back to South Africa to visit them, my dad and just experience the place I grew up again. Luckily it didn't take much to convince Ryan to come with me ! In my head I had planned this once in a life time trip - I wanted to go all out and do EVERYTHING. We booked the trip in March (as soon as we could) with Trailfinders. Ryan has a cousin living in Dubai and thought it was a good way to cut short the plane journey and make the most of our holiday to stop off there for a few days on the way to South Africa and on the way back. The plan was to leave the UK 8th January and arrive back on Friday 31st January. Long time hey?? You would think so but I could have easily doubled the time and not have had long enough there ! Our Journey begins...Dubai (8th-12th) The run up to our trip dragged like crazy - I just couldn't wait! I packed and un-packed a milli...
