Mindful Meals & Movement.

If you know me, you know I love food- and not just the typical- “healthy” kind. I’m talking about takeout pizza and about anything Asian inspired- total weakness! But as someone who’s passionate about health and wellness, I’ve learned the importance of balance. It’s about restricting yourself, but about making mindful choices that still satisfy.

That’s why I’m excited to share one of my favourite Thai meals- it’s flavourful, satisfying, and surprising low in calories.

Here's a snap of the Pad Thai Noodles Curry with Chicken that I had in a restaurant in Central London - and let me tell you , the flavour was out of this world! This Particular dish came in at around 560kcal for a small plate, but it was surprisingly filling and incredibly satisfying. It's proof that eating out doesn't have to derail your healthy habits - with a little balance and smart choices, you can enjoy your favourite meals without overindulging. For starters, my friend and I ordered chicken satay and crispy duck rolls- and instead of having a full portion each, we shared both plates. it's a simple way to enjoy variety while keeping portion sizes in check.

Elliptical- The elliptical is a low-impact, full body workout that’s easy on the joints but effective for burning calories and improving cardio. It’s great for toning both and lower body, and perfect for steady-state or interval training. Ideal for starting their cardio journey, it’s gentle yet powerful way to build endurance and shed fat.
Stair Master-Doing 30-40 Minutes, 3-4 times a week on the Stair Master has made my waist noticeably smaller, toned my leg, and boosted my cardio. It’s my go-to for fat burning and endurance.
Leg Press (Non-Assisted)- The non assisted leg press is one of my favourite gym machines. It’s massively boosted my leg strength and power, especially helped build my glutes- which has made me feel more confident myself. When I started over 3 years ago, I was scared of it and only pushed 20kg. Now, I’m pressing 120kg! If you’d told me that back then, I would’ve laughed.
Leg Press (Assisted)- The assisted leg press is another one of my favourite machines. It’s great for targeting the glutes and toning the legs . Although it’s effective, I personally find it less challenging than the non-assisted version, but still a solid addition to any leg day routine.
Ab Workout Bench- The ab workout bench is a new addition to my routine, and I’m already finding it really effective for core strength. It also targets secondary back muscles, which has helped tone my back and given me a more defined stomach.
The leg extension is a great machine for isolating and building your quad muscles. It’s been a key part of my leg workout, helping me strengthen and shape my legs with focused movement and control.
Core Workout (Mat)- Core workouts on the mat have really helped me tone my belly. As you can see in the picture, I use a weight to keep my feet in place during sit-ups. I also love doing planks and crunches. Simple but super effective for core strength and definition.
