GroFit with Tammy

Holiday Vibes!
Family time at Grand Mirage Resort in Bali! 🏝️☀️

FOR MY GROFIT FRIENDS
….here are a cpl strategies I use to not lose my health gains during a holiday:
-Yoga & water aerobics ✔️ (active morning)
-Breakfast buffet: starts with green detox juice & salads w/nuts, seeds then follow with eggs for more protein ✔️
-…now the rest of the day maybe went a little off script with fried calamari, laying around the pool/beach, a few drinks and collapsing in bed EARLY 🤪😇😅💤

It’s time to book for Aug! Do something for yourself… Treat yourself to a Pilates Wellness Retreat with Ruth. Your family with thank you afterwards.

It’s Saturday morning and I’m able it start the day slowly. 🫶

I’m reflecting on this past week as I write in my gratitude journal 📖,while doing so I looked at my fitness app and compared last week to this week.

Just look at these pics. This week ALL CLOSED CIRCLES!!! 🎉 (which shows I met my personal daily target for steps). The difference between last week and this week? One BIG factor was meeting up with 2 different friends to walk! 🚶

⭐️Pro health tip:
meet up with friends to DO SOMETHING ACTIVE! (we did have a morning coffee after -but w/o any added sugar 😇)

Still working through this book & really liking it so far. (just made it to chap 10)

Anyone else reading/listening now? Or previously and have had some transformation ?

With the same habits, you’ll end with up with the same results. But with better habits, anything is possible.

February Detox!
This month starts on a Thursday and I think that’s a gentle way to ease right in to whatever YOU have decided to detox from.

I make my list of DETOX FROM items… but the SECRET TO MY SUCCESS is actually that I focus on all the things I ADD IN.

What are you going to ADD IN starting on Thursday (Feb 1)????

JAN 21!
Check in: 3 wks into the new year - How are YOU doing?

I’m still slowly working through Atomic Habits with my husband, Steve. We are reading/listening separately & currently around Chap 4.

My takeaway has been in recognising & celebrating that the habits & routines I had been focusing on in 2023 have stuck and become a part of my identity because they were ‘small, incremental & sustainable changes’!
Yayyy me!!! 💪🥰

Your turn:
I would love for you to celebrate 1 or 2 of the changes that you made last year to your habits that are now part of your identity!

Steve and I are working through Atomic Habits by James Clear. Chapter 1 takeaway is looking at my ‘systems’ vs Goals. This is a mindset that has definitely helped me this past year to shape my daily habits & know how to tap into my inner strengths! I’ve called it ‘tools in my tool belt’ on my youtube channel. 😊💪 #2024

we did it!!!

52 means to me… staying grounded, being present -for my family and loved ones, continuing to learn new things, keeping self care & staying strong a priority!

SKIN CARE! I take a simple ‘inside & out’ approach & Im happy to share it with you! 🥰

My family’s summer adventure kept me on the go through 3 countries and many cities- this meant that meal planning was nearly nonexistent! Now we are back home & I’m so happy to be gaining back control & REPLENISHING!!! 😅💕🙌

LONDON! Parks & Gardens 😍 …the sun has come out! Enjoying every garden I can on our last walk through this city! Ethan knows how to do it- enjoying his new manga books

On holiday…?!
I am! And for me, this means:
🧳 think through the day & find my nutrient dense meal additions & snacks
🧳 eat that YUMMY dish- but no need to eat it all up! SHARE it or do pre-portion control
🧳 when I have that decadent dessert… it’s got to be GOOD! and worth it! (and again, share 😉)

*at an Indian restaurant in Porto 😍🤤

BRAGA!
Spent 2 nights here to catch our breath. Not a bad place to do so. Only complaint is I had to wear a jacket in the evenings - in mid July!!!

Day 5 of Caminho Portuguese: The Climb’ We did it! Reached the top - now for the descent!

Day 4 of Camino Portuguese: beauty everywhere!!! … we ache from heavy packs & stones beneath our feet

Thanks, Jo for the book! 😘 Last night in Porto! Camino Portuguese starts tomorrow.

Recycled water bottle HERB & STRAWBERRIES installation!!!!

AND this is just 1/2 the project! I’ll double it later this week.

☀️SUMMER is here!
This pic was taken at a friends farewell at a beach restaurant on a 🔥HOT day/evening.

So if you know me well, maybe you guessed it… this post is a reminder to 💦HYDRATE!!!!

My mom-in-law and I just had a conversation and she let me know she had been having a rough several days. Then she heard someone talking to folk her age, and reminding them the importance of keeping hydrated! Apparently, it’s a big issue in their age group- well I’d say ANY AGE GROUP! Especially when our go to drink isn’t 💧nice clean WATER.

…So I’m wishing all of you a healthy, happy summer - a sending out a reminder to not forget the BASICS! (I need this reminder, too!!!)

I know, I’ve gone off radar for far too long.

I went from starting the year saying ‘let’s make this our healthiest year ever’ to having a bout with shingles in Feb and a 7 day flu in April.

These have left me feeling spent! But I do know what to do for recovery! Do you?

And I can say that even though I had shingles, it was a mild case. (Oof, the stories I’ve heard of what that virus can do!) And the flu was just bad enough to zap my energy and keep me in bed. And likely a result of taking shingles prescription meds (I’ve since learned of other options that fit my lifestyle choices better).

The dr asked ‘Have you been under more stress lately?’ And I didn’t initially even think that I had! But after reflection while being laid up I did realise how many extra responsibilities I had taken on in the months leading up to this outbreak. I thought I was handling it— but my body disagreed…

So here’s my gentle reminder to you:
🥰 schedule time for self-care 🥰

….and think 💭 getting a health coach, like me 😘.

I haven’t talked about this openly but I long since stopped using traditional menstrual products!

There’s no regulation or disclosure on what goes into making them ‘absorbent and door neutralising’. Putting them ‘down there’ our skin absorbs them into our system!!! No, no, nooo!!! Keep the toxins out of that area, please.

I do use: menstrual cup, ’cute’ cloth pads, organic cotton tampons when needed.

Do some reading and make your choice. Spread the word sisters!!! 🙌

Not enough is known about the science of pads and tampons Menstrual products

🍄MASKS are finally OFF 🍄MUSIC FEST was finally back ON 🍄Our KIDS are ALL back together in HK 🍄I’m all RECOVERED from shingles! 🍄 ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE!!!

So good to be out and about again -BuT WHEN can we take off these masks 😷???!!! Come on HK!!! Quit dragging your feet!!!

Someone here loves that I’m at home resting & healing up from shingles!!! 🥰

Yes!!! 😅🙌
