Every action has a reaction.....

WARNING - this blog contains stomach churning contents!!

When I'm out for a ride on Hannah it's really obvious that everything I do creates a change.  When I push slightly on the right handlebar, I'll turn right.  If I look to the left and shift my weight I'll start to turn left.  You get the picture.

Well yesterday I made the quick dash to the supermarket on the way home to get the ingredients to make one of my cool birthday cakes for my beautiful friend Emma who I had a date on the stairs with tonight.  All good, I made the cake and it turned out really nicely - However I licked the beater & the bowl......

My detox diet is all raw and no processed food, and the sugar in the cake mix, gave me an instant headache, there's the first reaction.  But wait for it - here's the stomach churning bit - the 2nd reaction was a lovely dose of diarrhea this morning!

Now the purpose of me sharing this with you is that sometimes we ignore those signs from our body, or make excuses - "oh I've picked up a bug"  when really it's our body sending us a message, that "Hey I really don't like what your putting in here!!"

So lesson learnt - thank you to my beautiful body for that awesome reminder - message received loud and clear!

Here we are at the end of our 1 hour session on the stairs!  Thanks Em for your awesome motivation!

Life is all about choices

Another awesome day today - back at the gym for a full on legs session this morning then a second session with my trainer at lunch time.

Had a HUGE achievement this arvo.  Was running late leaving work and had to stop at Woolies on my way home.  It was already 7pm and I was half an hour overdue for my next meal.....tummy grumbling and a supermarket full of chips, lollies, chocolates and a WHOLE lot of other stuff totally NOT part of my detox!

So proud because what I chose was to get myself some yummy salmon!  I'm supposed to be having fish and vegetables for dinner anyway - now i'll just have the veggies when I get home!

Tummy satisfied, shopping done and all without upsetting my detox!

It was a surprisingly easy choice to make too - and what I've realised is that when I'm following the road map (that I talked about yesterday) and just like when I'm on the Harley trying to decide which turn to take - it's really easy to make decisions, because the #1 criteria is - will this choice get me closer to or further away from my destination!

LUV my life.  

Ps - stay tuned for tomorrow - I stopped at Woolies to get the ingredients to bake a surprise for an amazing friend!  I'll be sure to share the results in tomorrow nights post.
