Hi Amanda,

This month, rather than writing a how to handle the silly season article I'd normally write, I decided instead to share with you some of the insights and changes that I have personally changed so I can live a fit & healthy lifestyle. I hope that you are able to find some inspiration or motivation from it and realise that you're not the only one struggling at this time of year.

I've also included in this newsletter all of the entries we received for our t-shirt competition. It will be up to you guys to let me know which design you like the most and the t-shirt that has the most entries will win & be made up.

Finally the last piece of news I have to share with you is I am now a qualified Kickbox instructor =D. That means we'll be able to incorporate some of your "karate kid" moves into your workouts and also at Group Training. Kickboxing is a fantastic workout and it's a great way to get rid of some stress relief!

So please enjoy the newsletter and please remember to let me know which t-shirt you like best (even if you're not currently training / haven't trained - let me know. I'd still love to hear your thoughts!)

Wishing you great Health & Fitness
Lots of Luv
Amanda XxXx

Because we feel so rushed and overwhelmed it’s very easy to be tempted to “take some time off and relax” and inadvertently undo all of that hard work you’ve put in over this year. It can also mean that because you’re so busy and tired that you feel like you’re the only person struggling to keep up your health and fitness goals (after all no-one else struggles with those negative voices, impulses to overeat or tells themselves “they can eat that because they deserve time to enjoy it and relax”....– do they?) ....
