Its hard to stay motivated 24/7 for 12 weeks of pain and then there after, so GloryGirl Fitness encouraged us girls to make an inspiration board. A compilation of photos , notes, goals and quotes that will remind us day round why we are putting ourselves through this…
Now, most people would grab a poster and some magazines and start clipping… but i’m a bit “otherwise” as my dad use to say. Being the techy-geek that I am, I grabbed my digital photo frame and loaded a bunch of photos of the ideal body and made some quotes and notes for myself and saved them as photos. Then I sorted them and loaded it up. Now, next to my bed, this plays all day and is the first thing I see , and the last thing too.
I have recreated my slideshow here, just made it a bit shorter and added some music for you, but this is pretty much it. Enjoy and make your own, however you do it, its the effect you desire, INSPIRATION!!!
Quick post while I have a quick snack. I am always busy at work, and sometimes sacrificed my nutrition for something quick and unhealthy… BUT NO MORE. This weeks recipe is a dip, that is great for raw veg or anything else you want to use it for. I decided to dip my 2 cups of raw broccoli in this delicious says and wash it down with a shake. The dip is DELICIOUS, has a bit of a zing and a bit of pepper. This is a great Greek dip.

It’s 2011 and I’m cracking on, losing weight and kicking bad habits! Today I uploaded a new recipe, and have made some playlist recommendations for your gym time. Watch the video, and found out about my new years, my progress and my new gym music!
On my lovely GloryGirl journey, I am to discover or try one new recipe a week and this week’s feature is Tosca’s Turkey Loaf. It is very simple and it is awesomely delicious. For us GloryGirl’s, or you wannabe fitness ladies, this is a great protein/starchy carb meal for the first 3 meals of the day, but not in the evening as it contains carbs. This recipe is a great way to get powerful yummy tastes, combining your 1/3 carbs with your protein, and kicking monotony in the butt!
So delicious and combines my carbs and protein! YUM!
