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 ...

Homemade Fat Bombs

Fat bombs are excellent if you are following a keto diet, and are struggling to meet your fat requirements or if you maybe need a fat burst before or during exercise.  I found a recipe on The Banting Chef , but it doesn't say how many blocks the recipe yields. As I was making dinner at the same time and do not have freezer space I sort of winged it with my own recipe: Ingredients:  2 x 4 blocks Mojome Sugar-Free Chocolate 80G — Cacao Nib + Rock Salt (86% Cacao) 1/2 tsp erythritol 1/4 tsp Peppermint Essence 12 tsp coconut oil melted Method: Melt 1x4 blocks chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil and place in a small container Mix 10 tsp coconut, peppermint essence and erythritol separately and pour over chocolate Place container in freezer for about 15 minutes Melt 1x4 blocks chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil and pour over frozen mixture in container Place container in freezer I cut this block into 4 small pieces - try to keep these pieces ...

Product Review: Feetures Socks

Last week I decided to buy a new pair of socks, advertised for Plantar Fasciitis Relief, from Feetures . I suffer quite badly on occasion with foot cramps, usually as a result of a fatigued plantar fascia. This worsens when the weather is cold or wet, like it was last week here in Joburg. I have also been using stability shoes for longer runs, as it seems my arch has been collapsing (rolling in), resulting in achilles and calf injuries and tarsal tunnel syndrome. I came across this product by chance on Facebook, on a post of someone asking what to do for Plantar Fasciitis. For a sock, it is on the expensive side, but if it works, then it is worth it. After I ordered, I was contacted by Head Office advising that the sock was dirty, due to some work being done at the warehouse. I was offered to be compensated with another pair of socks and a shirt, which I accepted. When I got home, the socks and shirt had been delivered - super happy with the service from Feetures. I took these s...
