Hello there beautiful people!
This is a blog run by 3 girls who are looking to become fit and healthy. This is a collection of our inspiration, motivation & progress. Although we are not professionals please don't hesitate to ask us any questions which we can answer from our personal experience with weight loss. We all follow different diets and exercise plans as we all have very different schedules. You have to remember that one persons plan may not suit your own. Work around your own lifestyle to help make being healthy a more stress free experience!

Note: We are all looking to have toned and defined bodies. Our weight is only a guide line. If you are also looking to gain clean muscle then you should remember muscle weighs A LOT more than fat so you are likely to gain weight as you turn fat into muscle.

GOOD DAY- GOOD WEEK?!
So, I am approaching this “muscle gaining” a little bit different these next few weeks. I am using fruit as my treat, (with a few actual naughty treats sometimes) so this means I am having a lot of it at the moment! I’ll eat my normal chicken and greens (salad or veggies) but for desert and snack I allow myself fruit. I just finished having a wrap for dinner (usually don’t have carbs, but sometimes you’ve got to allow change) and then fruit salad for dessert. Ahhh love! I will eventually ween myself off fruit, and limit it down to probably 1 serving, however at the moment it is giving me a new motivation to keep this up. JB

Myth busting the THIGH GAP
This thigh gap is dependent on many things, one including how wide your actual hips are. I barely have hips, and my legs TOUCH, I do not have a thigh gap, and whilst we may still want one, some of us, like myself, just will not get one. After all my hard work, I may end up with a minute, teensy gap but nothing noticeable, and for now, nudduh! SO rep what you do have! JB

If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten
Eat bad= No results, you know that if you don’t eat right, you won’t get your body right. Change it up if you’re not seeing results! Tell yourself this, right before that night time binge, think about it (If I do this, I’m not changing anything, and I’m going to get the same results) JB

Progress
My next progress picture time is fast approaching. I said I would post one on the 28th April, and I’m not sure I’ve done good enough to show really any results. I know it’s hard to keep motivated but surrounding yourself with positive people, food and blogs, makes you that little bit more persistent. Sometimes, you have to think how good your body will treat you when you treat it right. Try and embrace the beauty of natural resources. Feel enlightened. Good luck people! PROHEALTH, PRO FITNESS! JB

Working out at home!
So today it is pouring rain! I don’t drive and if I got dropped off I would have to walk home, living right on the water (literally, 50metres from Stradbroke Jetty) means it’s extremely windy as well. This means for me, it makes it a little hard to access the gym, so what do you do!?
I live in a complex so I can’t really jump around, however different sets and some incorporated weight activities will still get my heart rate up.
LEGS
- 1 minute 5kg lunge
- 1 minute ( last 10 seconds do bottom half pulses) 5/10 kg squat
- 1 minute 5kg opposite leg
- 2 sets
TRICEPS/ARMS
- Tricep dip, 20 reps
- Tricep kick back, 20 reps
- 3 sets
ABS AND SHOULDERS/ARMS
- Side crunch 1 minute
- Side crunch, opposite side 1 minute
- As many male pushups, rest female, 20 reps
- Side hover, 1 minute
- Side hover, opposite side, 1 minute
- As many male pushups, rest female, 20 reps
- Plank, 1 minute
- As many male pushups, rest female, 20 reps
If you can jump around, jumping jacks, jumping lunges, box jumps, anything that can get your heart rate up quick is good! Unfortunately I can’t, so work with what you’ve got :) Have a lovely day! JB

Jamie’s Eating Plan
Wanting to tone? Well my eating plan is focused on muscle weight, so I have a lot less carbohydrates and sugars as a usual diet. If you are wanting weight loss and are a lot bigger, the don’t hesitate to add more carbohydrates to fuel your body, a high protein diet can make you quite drowsy (especially a protein shake!)
Breakfast
- 2 Slice Multi-grain toast w/ spread, no butter, and glass of skim milk
OR
- Oats with half cup of skim milk, if needs more add water. (this can also include berries or your whey protein in it, insure the oats are a little cooler before putting in the protein)
WATER
Snack(usually post work-out)
- Protein Shake
- Tea- no sugar
Lunch
- 100 grams meat (90% of the time it’s chicken) w/ garden salad, but I add beetroot for flavour and light cheese to fill me up for longer.
Snack
- Homemade, plain unsalted popcorn
- Tea
- Protein shake, protein bar or piece of fruit if I have them.
WATER WATER MORE WATER
Dinner
- Changes, but always includes a palm size serving of chicken, (one night a week pork or beef) with salad or vegetables (insure there is a lot of green) No potato or carbohydrates unless it is my cheat meal (one meal a week can be your cheat)
Snack
- Hot drinking chocolate
- Small serving of jelly (sometimes)

3rd one is for shits and gigs. So as you can see, I don’t have much shape to my stomach, just looking to tone that up a bit, and get those awesome abs going! This means, unfortunately, a lot more cardio (sad face) JB
