Lifestyle Camp Review

Screen Shot 2018-05-25 at 2.18.21 pm.png

The other week my Lifestyle Camp took place in the beautiful and quaint town, St Augustine, Florida. It was the most amazing experience where all the ladies connected just like they were sisters. The support and friendships made was just incredible. Ladies came from Europe, South Korea, Mexico, Australia and across the United States.

The camp focused on overall lifestyle and the health of body, mind and soul. The day started off with morning sunrise yoga taught by the lovely Jasmine Bienvenue.

After heading back to the house for a hearty breakfast we went to FYOA academy (http://foyabjj.com) nearby and trained BJJ. I focused on techniques and movement patterns that are better suited to women. We all had fabulous rolls and it was a great opportunity for women to train only with other women when they usually train with men.

All the meals were prepared by Lindsay Boston who did an incredible job. After she made a glorious post training lunch for us all, the afternoon was spent relaxing by the beach or doing some sightseeing followed by evening workshops that involved workouts, meditation, empowerment concepts and nutrition.

I can’t wait for my next camp to take place and to have the opportunity to meet more amazing women who I am happy to call my sisters. Stay tuned!

How to break bad habits!

Sophia Mcdermottt Drysdale FIT ,1.jpg

New Year, new goals, new habits! The new year is an exciting time for change! As we look forward to the year ahead we look to replace bad habits with better ones to help improve every element of our lives! By nature we are creatures of habits! Don’t get me wrong not all habits are bad! Good habits like regularly exercising and meal prep can form a foundation to a healthy life but its the bad habits such as over-eating on the weekend can sabotage your health without even realising!

So whether you’re battling through a dry January or trying to get over the holiday food hangover, here are a few quick tips to break free of unhealthy habits!

  1. Remember the choice is yours! - Are you reaching for the third cup of coffee or piece of chocolate out of habit? No one “has” to do anything. Think of your “why” before making decisions.

  2. Recognise the ritual and make it healthier - If you view food as a reward, try to replace it with a  treat, such as a short walk, a warm bath or 10 minutes of relaxing yoga

  3. Create a rest routine - Make sure you look forward to getting into bed at night. Turn it into an experience you love, turn your phone to “do not disturb”, light a candle, read a relaxing book and learn how to wind down naturally without technology!

  4. Make smart choices - Start with small, achievable goals. When you go out for dinner eat choose fish or lean meat with vegetables and have a cup of mint tea after dinner instead of dessert. REMEMBER: simple, small changes can make a huge difference!

  5. Savour every moment, say “Cheers!” - Celebration and delight are incredibly powerful tonics. If you have some sweets don’t stress yourself out with guilt. Own it, trust yourself not to eat the whole pack, enjoy the celebration and then move on.

Kings of Kitchen

 A kitchen stocked with plenty of fresh, healthy produce not only allows you to easily throw together quick, healthy meals & snacks but helps in eliminating any temptations! Firstly you need to ultimately “cut the crap”! Get rid of foods that are dragging your energy level down and increasing your fat levels! This includes all processed pre made meals, refined sugar, soft drinks and sugary snacks! Once you’ve cleared out your pantry, fridge and don’t forget about the freezer, it’s time to stock your kitchen with ingredients that are going to fuel your body to not only burn fat but get you lean and full of energy!

 

Here are the foods which I believe are the Kings of the Kitchen and are an essential in any household!

  • Eggs – the home of healthy fats and good any time of day.
  • Coconut oil – a natural saturated fat, perfect for cooking.
  • Avocado – the green goddess packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.
  • Sweet potatoes – are high in vitamin A, vitamin B5, B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and, due to their orange color, are high in carotenoids! Need I say more...
  • Blueberries – Perfect for a quick snack or add to your smoothie!
  • Chillies – dried or fresh, they bring spice to your life.
  • Spinach – add to your smoothie, salad or omelette, this King will give your a hit of protein as well helping to suppress your appetite
  • Nuts & Seeds - Ultimate on the go snack! Stick with almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds.
  • Low Fat Greek Yogurt - Packed with protein, enzymes and probiotics!
  • Canned veggies or fish - Fresh is always best, but keeping a few cans of tuna, corn and beans are super convenient and quick for when you are on the go!
  • Herbs and spices – turmeric, paprika, cinnamon
