Midweek Q&A
Top of the morning 🌄 I hope everyone is well. We've crossed the great divide and the weekend is almost upon us. For today's Q&A, I wanted to know if any of you have been or are a fully plant based eater? I ate fully plant based for two years and although I felt great I found it really hard to keep muscle on my body. I shoot for a more balanced approach now but majority of my food is plant based. Any favourite recipes or meals?

@Mk Duma @Rebecca Kulow never hear of Daniel fast either. But I am honest in saying that I do need eggs and meat on a regular basis.

@Trish Berrange I agree, that animal protein is healthier and for us getting older it is easier to maintain muscle mass than only plant bases.
We're back!! Monday
Happy Monday everyone🌄 Hopefully we all managed to recharge our batteries a bit for the week ahead. I made a purposeful decision to be less online and more in the tangible real world. I could feel myself start to get worn down by the incessant connectivity. As a result, I had a glorious sleep and feel eager to get going again. How do you regulate your "online fitness" or do you never worry about it?

This is something I’m still working on 😅 Because so much of what I do outside my full-time job is online, it’s very easy for “I’ll just quickly check something” to turn into another hour. 😂 I try to balance it with my workouts, daily walks and deliberately putting the phone away for a while. Definitely a work in progress though!

@Mk Duma yup, temperatures definitely drop this week and we had a thunderstorm with a little rain last night - result is that I couldn't fall asleep again afterwards 🤷‍♀️🤣

Saturday 🎉
Good morning, It's here, Saturday, with all it's promise of rest and relaxation 😁 I took advantage of my opportunity to sleep in and ended up getting a solid eight hours of sleep. My wife and partner in relaxing, is still in Dubai for work, so I'm home alone with no real plan. For today, I'm tentatively planning to: 1. Workout 2. Chill, watching a movie 3. Chill, watching sports 4. Chill, chilling even more 😂 What is on the menu for your Saturday?

Thursday effort
Goodmorning, My day kicked off much earlier that I like 😂 A friend invited me to their 06:00 am workout class. Me being me, woke up late and didn't make the class, so had to do the one after 💤 I'm currently sitting at my desk, contemplating my choices in life. It was the hardest session I've done in a looong time. It got me thinking about how we all have blind spots, especially when it comes to areas we think we have alot of experience. For example, I went in underestimating this class. I'm fit and think I can handle most things fitness related. I had a rude awakening and now I see what areas I need improving. Do you have any blind spots you're not aware of that could elevate your life, if attended to?
