WELL we have arrived at thistime of year, yet again.

The winter months are comingto an end, the weather is startingto warm up and we are faced withthe reality that the layers ofclothing we have been wearingthe past few months will need tobe peeled off.

The comfort food we have beenindulging in during winter, cou-pled with the training sessionsmissed because of the cold wea-ther, have packed on the kilos.

Rather than beat yourself upabout the added weight, embrace

the time you enjoyed over the coldmonths, because there is no usedwelling on the past.

However, now is the time to riseto the challenge of attaining ahealthier lifestyle, remembering

that feeling goodis only relative to you.

Feeling good is not aboutbeing as skinny as themodels in magazines orwearing yourself out withexcessive exercise and mini-mal food in order to reach theunrealistic expectations put onwomen today.

It is purely about you.It’s about what you can do to

make you a better person.Positive thoughts from within

will then come shining through.Rather than embark on a diet

and exercise regime that willleave you stressed, look at yourcurrent lifestyle. Where do youthink you can make some health-ier changes?
