Motivation: I'm a workout freak!- A must read

                           
Working out is one thing I look forward to each day. It's like eating, bathing or any other regular activity. In my final year in school, many people recognized me as the girl who always goes to the gym; Some arguing that I had been moved to the department of Human Kinetics, while a few who knew me well thought I had just gotten a new hobby and would soon tire out. I'm still on this never ending fitness journey and I'm loving it!

My major motivation are the challenges I face(d, strange though, but true. When I was on holidays, I'd have to wake up by 5:30am to go jogging when everyone is trying to readjust their blankets to shield the themselves from the extremely cold weather of Jos.

The holidays are in town already and it is a fantastic time of the year filled with parties, cocktails, chocolate… and usually very little exercise.

Weight loss motivation : Amazing before and after pictures!

Thanks to Instagram I saw this before and after picture of a former plus size model.
Though I couldn't speak to her directly, I could tell from her posts that her weight loss journey started out of her need to live a healthy life. She was able to lose a considerable amount of weight because she made the choice to exercise regularly and eat healthy. No special fad diets or fitness trainer helped her achieve this, but her resilience, discipline and willpower did! 
The story is the same for the lady whose picture comes after the cut.

Foods for weight loss: Diet advice for healthy eating

A good weightloss program should comprise of a workout routine and a "workable" meal plan because these two work together. If you pay attention to only exercises and shut out healthy eating, you'll end up getting little or nothing from your workout program and this will only lead to frustration after a short while. 

The internet is full of dietary advice and meal plans for those looking to lose weight. Some of these meal plans are fad diets that will only leave you frustrated after few days of struggling to adapt to it. 

Good news is, you don't have to live on vegetables and green tea in the name of weightloss (cutting short on high calorie foods and drinks is a step in the right direction). Below is a list of foods drinks you can incorporate into your meals. 

Your dietary staples should include the following: 

Health benefits of lemon: weight loss, lightens skin, aids digestion

Yellow in color (depending on the specie) sour in taste, lemons provide more health benefits than just a refreshing zing to dishes. Lemons are high in vitamins and antioxidants thus they help prevent scurvy and treat a wide variety of conditions.
They are packed with vitamin C which enhances your beauty, by rejuvenating the skin from within or exfoliating it when used externally bringing a glow to your skin. Its numerous health benefits make it one of my favourite in the citrus family.

Aside using lemon to detoxify my system, I use it for lightening dark patches on my skin by applying the juice directly on it and trust me, my skin gets clearer after just one application.

Below are #10 health benefits of lemon juice that you should know:

Easy ways to lose weight this Xmas: Couple Workout

I don't think that most couples in this side of the world spend time exercising together. I mean if you were spending the weekend at your partner's (for those who aren't married) or just spending time together away from work, working out together might not be top on your "to do list", but there's a lot of benefits of working out with your partner.

Research has shown that people tend to be more active when working out with someone or in a group.
