Not so long ago I made the decision to begin and maintain a healthier lifestyle. I realised that sitting backand watching myself gain weight was not something that was making me happy; I have always been a busy, active person with 101 things going off in my life and brain 24/7, but for some reason my health had taken a backseat and I wanted to make a change. 

Now I am by farrrr not the healthiest, skinniest, world's top fitness guru that you should be going to for nutritional advice and workout videos, but as abeginner myself I thought I would share some of the things that have helped me establish and maintain my healthier routine.

I think we all have days where we want more than anything to be productive but there is something inside ourselves stopping us from actually stepping out, getting up from the sofa, and doing much at all. I know I've had plenty of these, battling with my mind and putting myself down because I haven't achieved anything that feels 'productive' that day. 

Well, if you are looking for some simple activities that can make these days feel slightly more positive, then you are in the right place.
