Trying to get back on that (workout) horse! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They say consistency is key when it comes to working out and seeing results. You also gotta find something you enjoy doing. I like to switch things up when I get bored- it’s harder with age tho. I was doing a weekend boot camp for over a year but I was losing motivation and just not feeling it. Instead of giving up completely now, it’s a bit of yoga and beginner boxing to see if that will get me back in the fitness game. I am still working on consistency but the point is that I don’t quit. 💪🏾 #keepfit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #selfportrait #beyourbest #selfcare #fitspiration #healthyliving #selflove #fitnessmotivation #makechanges #focusonyou #healthandfitness #fitnesslifestyle #lifestylenlogger #canadianblogger #workoutmotivation #healthylifestyle #blackgirlmagic #empowerment #stayinspired #positivevibes #beinspired #healthylifestyle #fitoverforty #yyzblogger #torontoblogger #underarmourWINNING AT SLEEP p.1 🛌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I recently read an article about sleep deprivation and it’s negative impacts on your mental health and physical wellbeing over time and it freaked me out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have no trouble falling asleep. My head hits the pillow and it takes my mind only a little while to relax and let go of thoughts then I’m fast asleep. But then I’ll be awake a few hours later. I haven’t figured out how to stay sleep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m a light sleeper and suffer from insomnia from time-to-time. Suffering from chronic lower back pain does not help at all either. So when it comes to sleep, well, I’m pretty sure I’ve shaved off about 5 years from my life expectancy by now. 😢 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bad sleep habits, like disruptions in sleep, it turns out, can be a bad thing, a put yourself at risk of weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart disease kind of a bad thing😮 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sleep deprivation is more than just waking up and being all 😡 throughout your day. It can truly wreak havoc on your mental (anxiety and depression) and physical wellbeing. I’ll be sharing in another post some simple ways I’m trying to win this sleep game and get back my life 😌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you make sure you are actually getting good sleep?Note to self: Today is a good day, to have a good day! #tgif 🙌🏾I’m beginning to think the answer to my style rut is in the weather! Spring means I can get rid of the heavy coat and swap the layers for cute jackets and dresses and shop my closet 🙌🏾 (see my previous post about Seasonal Affective Disorder - SAD) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s just something about bright sunshine-filled days and warmer weather that puts me in a better, happier mood and makes me want to look as good as I feel ( it might also be the prospect of a new dress or two from the season’s new collections😉). 💃🏾 #bringontheheat ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cassmcdstyle #effortlessstyle #stylebyme #realoutfit #animalprint #mottojacket #styletips #fashiongram #aboutalook #stylingmywardrobe #stylerut #styleatanyage #stylepost #torontoblogger #lifestyleblogger #personalstyle #whatiamwearing #styleover40 #everyddayoutfit #fortyplusstyle #discoverunder5k #midlifestyle #fashionover40 #leopardprint #outfitinspo #selfcare #canadianblogger #instabloggerstyleArchives
