ICELAND HERE I COME!

I'm off to the wilds of Iceland for my 4th 'Racing The Planet' event this week. For the past 3 years I've been lucky to have worked as a volunteer on what TIME Magazine describes as the hardest endurance footrace series in the world. I've worked in the Atacama Desert in Chile, The Annapurna foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal & the Sahara in Egypt. Now I'm really excited about being in the barren Icelandic desert for 7 days (with no showers)!
It's a huge privilege to watch such races - the amazing fast elite athletes, the middle of the pack slog it out guys & the never give up, back of the pack "I'll finish every day if it kills me" runners.
We all have to be self sufficient - runners & volunteers alike. The only things provided are tents, drinking water & hot water every morning & evening. Work is quite physical - setting up checkpoints & lugging hundreds of bottled of water each day. It won't be pretty - this is the first time I've needed to pack waterproofs & wellies - we could get rather wet & muddy. I'm sure there will be a huge rush for warm showers when we arrive back in Reykjavik!
The moral of this story is.... You can do whatever you want to do.....I've gone from overweight comfy couch potato to fit, healthy, nutter who enjoys roughing it & pushing myself in the great outdoors.
All it takes is determination to change.
What do you want to change?
Till I return.....Happy healthy eating!

BIG EXCITING NEWS!

I'm so excited....! I have been offered a place & just enrolled to become a zest4life practitioner. This means I will be running weekly weight loss & healthy eating programmes in the Cheadle Hulme/Bramhall/Wilmslow/Alderley Edge areas. They will be so much more than the usual pay your money, weigh in & go home diet club. I'm still seeing clients as The Personal Nutritionist - just adding another bow to my strings. There's tons of training to do & I will be in London for a whole week, but I hope to be set up & ready for action by the end of the year. I'm also doing some further nutrition training & will be a qualified Nutritional Therapist.
My decision has come about because I have followed Patrick Holford's Nutrition Bible with my own weight loss journey, & I firmly believe it's the best way to lose weight - & then keep it off - without all those cravings that yo-yo dieters have.
I may be needing some people for FREE diet trials Sept/Oct time - not sure yet if they need to be face to face or online - so please drop me a line if you would like to considerd as a guinea pig!
I'll be keeping you up to date with any new developments.....
So in the meantime.... happy #healthyeating
