Self Belief
We're on day 2 of the Olympics and today two of our top Athletes win Silver and Bronze medals.Lizzie Armitstead got her first bike aged 15. Today aged 23 she won the first team GB medal. She has show than through sheer determination, drive and belief in herself, she can be a winner.
Beccy Adlington came home with golds in Beijing. Today she swam in the 400m freestyle (not her distance) and through sheer determination, drive and belief in herself, she can be a winner.
Our personal goals may not award us medals from Olympic committees or sports associations but it doesn't mean that when we achieve them they are any less worthy.
Set your goals and with sheer determination, drive and belief in yourself you too can be a winner. 0 comments

The Buffet - Don't let it be a disaster zone.
When on holiday this summer, chances are you'll walk into a restaurant and find a buffet either at breakfast, lunch or dinner or all three.This can be a disaster but it needn't be.
Firstly opt for the smallest plate available for each course.
Avoid all salads laced in mayonnaise.
Only go to the buffet table once per course.
Steer clear of fried foods.
Stick with a starter and main unless this is a meal where you have decided to have a dessert. (See previous blog post).
Try and avoid the bottomless bread basket.
If all else fails and you find yourself indulging try and minimise the damage by doing an extra walk or swim. Above all, have fun.

How not to gain weight on holiday.
It's holiday/vacation time and the focus is on looking good in your swimwear, the weather, the food and the alcohol. So how do you ensure you have a great time without feeling guilt about what excesses you have had to eat or drink.Here are some tips that you might fine useful:
1. Decide before you go away exactly what you're "poison" is going to be. If it's ice cream, alcohol, cooked breakfast or something else, you decide. Only choose one thing.
2. Assuming you're away for two weeks, now choose the number of times you want to indulge. It's your choice but stick with that number.
3. As long as you stick with your number, you have given yourself permission and you will not feel any guilt.
4. Whatever you choose, make sure it's the best of whatever it is. No point wasting an indulgence on rubbish.
5. Have a great vacation. Smile often and laugh loads. Walk lots too. 0 comments
