I never thought I’d become a gym junkie!

Keeping in theme with 2017 – the year of fun! Today I’m talking about recent obsession; the Les Mills classes at my local gym.

I never thought I had it in me to become a gym junkie (or whatever the correct title is for someone addicted to group atmospheres and endorphin rushes),  yet here I am, quite the convert. I’ve always preferred outdoor sports; jogging, walking, hiking, swimming and team sports, such as netball and tennis. Sure I played badminton indoors in eighth grade, became quite a stickler for my fave pilates DVD, and wasn’t opposed to using the treadmill on rainy days, but that was the extent of my ‘indoor training’.

I had this stigma that gyms are for people that …

2017 Is Going To Be The Freakin Bomb!

This year I want to have LOTS of fun. 2016 was far, far, FAR too serious for my liking. I felt like I was always studying and if I wasn’t studying, I was working and if wasn’t doing either of those things, it was because I was unwell (thanks to this dilemma) and I felt like absolute shit.

Sneaky Swaps Part 2: A Sweeter Life

It’s early January. New Year’s resolution season! The time of year that we resolve to change ourselves for the better, implement new habits, commit to carefully-planned routines and promise ourselves that we WILL use our gym membership (for the record, I only put this last one in here to stay relatable … I genuinely look forward to gym classes). Among the lists of admirable intentions, is often something nutrition-related, and more recently sugar – specifically the refined white stuff -seems to be something that people are determined to give the flick. AND FOR GOOD REASON.

Standing strong in your personal power

2 Comments

I’ve learned a major lesson over the past 5 months – one that I feel is too important not to share.

You may remember that I had a liver biopsy in January and experienced internal bleeding – catch up here. Despite the pain, uncomfortable recovery period and anaesthetic side effects, it thankfully showed me the results I wanted (a real life example of autoimmunity in remission) .

I’m On FULL GAPS!

Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

It’s been crazy these past few months. Full time study takes up a lot of time! To be honest with you, I’ve even had times where I’ve considered leaving the blogosphere. I didn’t want the ‘added pressure’ of maintaining a website. It’s okay my new pals Emma and Carla snapped me out of that. Real Soup HQ is here to stay.

2 weeks of napping, walking and semi-fasting

4 Comments

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you probably already know me quite well (let’s be honest I don’t really hold back). You know that I love coconut cream smoothies and roast pumpkin (but can’t eat them right now because I’m starving parasites of their sugar-energy). You know I love my morning run (and am NOT a very kind person without my morning endorphin hit). You know (at least at the moment) I do daily enemas (and actually enjoy them).
