So the weekend is almost here, and so is the time of many great family get togethers - and lots of beautiful food!
I know that I'm going to enjoy the down time, relax and unwind. I'm trying something way different - going out of my comfort zone - with a possible crocodile spotting tour - what about you?
Time to ourselves is a great time to learn something new about us. Try finding something new about you - whether it be a facing a fear (hope we're not going on a tinnie!), a new activity you like, a new food you like or maybe a book?
Holidays tend to mean over-indulgence - but not if we're listening to our bodies! Including plenty of fresh and alive foods along with foods that we know make our bodies feel better (the ones you may have noticed made you feel good after you read this post) will mean that when we choose to indulge - our body can handle it better! These days it's definitely quality over quantity for me!
All in all - enjoy a relaxing weekend!

Hungry for Change
I know one thing that I'm definitely doing this weekend! No Romantic Comedy for me this Saturday night, I will be watching this much anticipated film "Hungry for Change" from the makers of the brilliant and much needed "Food Matters."
It's a film about food quality and how most foods in todays' society are not food, but in fact food-like substances.
I can't wait to watch this movie, as I've only heard brilliant things about it. If you are questioning what is healthy, and are unsure, from what I've heard, this is a great place to start.
I found the key to changing my health and wellness was through learning and listening and while it may not seem as attractive as popping on the latest Reese Witherspoon movie (or action pic if that's more up your alley) this may help create the change you need in light of your own health. Your food is (or should be!) after all, your medicine.
Have a great weekend - let me know what you think if you watch it!

Time out Together!
Well, it doesn't happen very often, but my husband and I are going on a date night! With three children and him away quite a bit for work, time alone together is like gold! Especially on the weekend! As you can tell from all of my exclamation marks - I'm quite excited!
Time out together is really important to get back in tune with each other - it's a great chance to talk about things besides the usual "can you pick up some milk on the way home?" type conversations that can end up forming a large part of the everyday together.
For those reading who don't have a significant other - time out with close friends or family is just as important!!
So if you haven't got plans already this weekend - find time to satisfy your soul with some quiet time with loved ones, it can make the world of difference to the beginning of the new week - you can start feeling happy that you've caught up with people that matter to you - fresh for the week with a positive state of mind!
Have a great weekend!
PS. Keep tuning in to your body and how you feel after eating certain things, and let me know what you've noticed, I find it interesting to hear other people's experiences!

Feel good fun!
Why do I always do that? I spend the week getting up early and moving my body because I love how I feel afterward, and I know it's a habit fit people have and so if I want to be fit - then I must move! Granted I move differently now to how I used to pre-30kg+, but all the same - it's the feel-good factor that gets me now!
Come the weekend - I have a goal to do certain active things but I put it off ... almost all day. It was only 25 minutes worth of weights and jumping jacks, jump squats etc, but I felt on top of the world once I did it, once I broke a sweat I felt great!
Given the dreary drizzly weather that we've been having, I felt really cooped up. So going into my shed and turning on the party music in a child free zone really helped change my outlook, change my energy levels and made me feel good about myself.
Tomorrow my challenge is to try and do a pilates DVD before anyone is up, but I can't guarantee anything as I'm looking after a baby nephew tonight! If not, it will be later in the day, but with today fresh in my mind, I will be more enthusiastic!
Off to chill out ... have a great night!
