Just Why...?

Why is it that we care too much?
Why is it that we love so deeply?
Why is it that we chose to be with the ones that bring us the most amount of pain?
Why risk wearing your heart on your sleeve?

They say that if we care too little then we lose what we love, and if we care too much then we get hurt by what we love.
Unfortunately there is no inbetween and no choice, we either care or we don't, and we all get hurt either way.
But why care for someone when they don't care for themselves?
Why try help someone who doesn't help themselves?
Why encourage someone to take a stand when they chose to hide behind the person they meant to stand up to?
Why be old enough to take control of your life when you chose to be sheltered like a 5 year old?
Why want responsibility when you run away from it?

At the end of the day we all hurt, either from caring too much or regretting that we didn't care enough. Sometimes its easier to just complain and not care about what happens in our own lives and hope it will sort itself out, but how is this fair on those people who care about us and want to help us help ourselves? Sometimes we need to start caring and do something for ourselves, sometimes we need to give those people who care and fight with us a reason to keep on caring, sometimes we need to stop 'trying' and start doing, sometimes we need to fight along side people instead of against them. We all need someone to care about us, and if we stop caring for ourselves, one day there will be no one around who will be willing to care about us.

Why do we care too much?
Why do we not care enough?
Why do we not stand up for ourselves?
Why do we not take control?
Why do we live in fear?
Why do we risk losing the ones who care for us the most?
Why can't we start actively doing?
Just why......???

Grain free Date Bread

A few weeks ago one of my dad's clients baked what we think was a date bread. Although I am mostly low carb and didnt know the ingredients of this bread, there was so much of it and I didnt want it to go to waste. Toasted, it was amazing, almost like a caramel taste. In all honesty, I found my running for the few days I ate the bread actually improved - I felt more energetic and had more endurance. I searched for a low carb or gluten free version that I can make myself. Carb wise you looking at about 15g on average per date, making it basically your enemy if you are low carb. Rather opt for cranberries - 13g per cup. As an athlete though, dates are so good for you - in moderation of course as 90% of the carbs in a date is sugar. Medjool Dates are high in Potassium (higher than oranges, bananas and spinach), which is great for heart health and to build muscle and proteins in the body. They are also high in fibre, meaning you stay fuller for longer. You also get an energy

HIIT #1

HIIT otherwise known as High Intensity Interval Training is a great way to get your heartrate up and get a full body workout in a short amount of time.  As the name suggests, the exercises used are often intense and the short recovery adds to it.  Most HIIT sessions are 20 seconds of workout, 10 seconds of recovery. I like to do 2 exercises per set, for 4 reps with 1 minute recovery and 4 sets in total to make up 20 minutes. If you are feeling up to it, you can increase a rep a week, but remember it is about intensity and not about overall time or seeing how much you can do.  Below are the exercises that I did yesterday: The workout I did: Set 1: Hurdles & Cones / Shuttle Runs (4 sets - 20 seconds hurdles, 10 seconds recovery, 20 seconds Shuttle Run, 10 seconds recovery) Set 2: Speed band high knees / Shuttle Runs (4 sets - 20 seconds High Knees, 10 seconds recovery, 20 seconds Shuttle Run, 10 seconds recovery) Set 3: Banded lateral shuffle / Shuttle Runs (4 sets - 20 se

SA Lockdown - Days 1-4

So we have made it 4 days into lockdown... yippeee :) I thought I would recap my first 4 days into lockdown. To start off, I am still working, from home of course, so I still need to be available from about 7am to about 4pm. As such, I try get my workouts in before and after this time except on the weekend and the pre-lunch workouts (which are nice and quick). Day 1 Friday, 27 March My dads birthday - we were planning on going to craft beer library in Linden but of course with the lockdown we were not able to (something to do once we are out of lockdown). I decided to make one of my favorite cakes, an almond cake, but I made it gluten free as I am trying to be 80-90% gluten free following doctors orders. I started nice and early, so that it would be ready for my dads teatime break. The recipe can be found here , but I doubled up because it looked on the thin side: 230g Butter 4 Eggs 2 cup gluten free flour 2 cups castor sugar 4 tsp almond extract Sliced almond
