After an early morning Zumba dance class today, I decided to eat a more generous portioned breakfast than I have been eating on the other days when my fitness workout is more Pilates based. . However lets call this brunch as I waited 16 hours from my last meal of yesterday to 10am today to eat. . This is my intermittent fasting regime where I wait 16-18 hours between dinner and breakfast. I then squeeze the only other meal of the day into a small window of time before 6pm again. . This is my easy to do solution to an ongoing lifestyle weight maintenance ( NOT diet) when I know I am going to need to be feeling and looking my best. . And this is how I help my clients when they want to lose weight and have been historically unsuccessful over the years with yo-yo dieting. . Its not calorie restrictive, however it is restrictive on cutting out all sugar, white simple carbs like potatoes, cakes, pastry, pasta, and most wheat and grains. . There is sourdough toast in my photo today but sometimes a little of what you fancy is better than denying yourself and craving it. . And yes, I did put butter on the toast too as eating some healthy fats will satisfy and help you feel fuller longer. . . . . .

We all need some downtime to reboot each week

We all need some downtime to reboot each week. This includes a weekly Pilates class for me. . If we keep our bodies reasonably fit and eat healthily, then when we are super busy we are still able to cope when life becomes stressful. . This is an exercise from my Wednesday physio reformer pilates class. . This Pilates exercise strengthens arms, helps the movement and flexibility of a tight upper back, works the tum, core and glute muscles, the inner thighs and needs balance to be able to stand, twist and bend over. . It's more difficult than it looks, especially when it's done slowly with control, holding out the platform steadily before returning it back in. . . . . . .

Happy face

Happy face. Haircut day. No make-up selfie. No filters. . Thank you @andyatagency as always. Thank you @chanelnott for my blondeness. Love my 2 favourite hairdressers. . As you get older often shorter hair cuts can be more flattering as they frame and lift the face instead of the impression of dragging down.. Also the correct hair colour tone is very important too as it can make so much difference to flattering or draining your skin tones. . . . . .
