Fitness Tips and Tricks

This year, one of my resolutions is to get fit and stay fit.  I have some tips and tricks, DIY’s and recipes that I wanted to show you guys.  Even if you are not trying to get fit, some of these are good anyway, just to be healthy.  

In this post I will be showing you 6 tips and tricks.

#1- Keep a drink bottle by your bed.

Scientists have proven that drinking a glass of water as soon as you wake up helps to speed up your metabolism.  It works by waking up your digestive system and making it function, so that by the time you have breakfast your stomach is waiting to get food.  I like to add blueberries, raspberries and lemon to my water, so it tastes good and adds more healthy properties.

#2-Keep your running shoes in the middle of the room.

This means that there is no excuse for ‘forgetting’ to run.  And personally, when I see my shoes it motivates me to run, because otherwise I have spent all this money on shoes and I never wear them.

#3-Make a playlist.

Working out to music is motivating and it makes you want to keep going.  Songs with an obvious beat are really good so you can keep in time.  Tove Lo and David Guetta have great songs for working out, and also Britney Spears has a few good ones.  Listening to music releases endorphins so you feel happy, and that can make you want to exercise more.

#4-Workout with friends.

If you make a plan with friends to go and run somewhere together, not only are you distracted from the fact you are running, but it makes it hard to back out because there are a whole bunch of people waiting for you.  Or if your workout shy, like me, take your dog, or one friend.

#5-Go on YouTube.

There are some workout channels on youtube that are really motivating and have lots of different types of workouts, tips and tricks.  My favourite is Blogalates, this channel is really famous and really, really good.  It doesn’t only have workouts, but also has recipes, motivational videos and heaps more.

#6-Have fun with it.

If you don’t like to run, don’t.  Do something else that you do like to do.  If you want to stay inside and binge on your favourite TV show, do it while lying down and doing some simple workouts like leg circles or ankle circles.

I hope this post has motivated you, or helped you to achieve your goals.  Remember, everyone is perfect the way that they are, I am only making this post because it is a growing trend to become ‘fit’  as long as you eat well and are happy, thats all that matters.  

There will be other posts in this tag (fitness), comment what you would like to see and I will make it happen.

Bye xx 

P.S.  I will try to post more, I know I say this every time but this time I am pre-writing my posts.

Annie

Hello, I haven't posted in a while because I have been away at my holiday home for a really long time...  While I was there I got attacked by a dog, I fainted and I had a really good time swimming.  On boxing day my friend came up to see us and stayed for 3 nights.

Anyway, the reason I am writing this post is to tell you about Annie, as I am typing I am stroking her tummy and she is purring uncontrollably...  Yeah, she's a kitten, she is six weeks old.  This is how we found her:  As we were driving home from our bach we noticed a small blur darting in and out of traffic, this was in the middle of nowhere and the cars were going really fast.  My mum turned into a place she could park and then ran 200m to get the cat.  She said we would take it to the SPCA and leave it there but then she saw it, a moggie the size of my hand.  We all love her, but my dad doesn't like cats at all, we have one cat already (don't judge we also have a dog) and that was a stretch for him anyway.  When we got home dad was away at a conference so mum called him and asked him if we could keep the cat.  He said 'pick a cat to get rid of' so we didn't bring it up again, when he got home that night I was watching Netflix with the kitten and her head popped out of my hand and it was the cutest thing.  I think my dad might let us keep her but he hates cats and can tell us to take her to the SPCA at any moment...  I will keep telling you stuff about her and giving you photos later...

I am thinking of posting OOTD outfits occasionally, tell me what you think down below...

Should I post OOTD posts sometimes?

No way

Calum Hood leaving 5SOS? Happy birthday 5sos!

So a few days ago Calum tweeted 'One day I'll leave and live a normal life' and fans went crazy.  Everyone was saying that Calum was planning a Zayn and going to leave the band so he could have a normal life.  Fans started a hashtag #WeLoveYouCalum to show appreciation towards Calum.

Don't worry, in a recent interview he was asked 'are you planning to leave the band?' he replied instantly 'oh f**k no!' so that is cleared up, our puppy is not leaving any time soon.

In other 5 Seconds of Summer news, on the the 3rd of December another hashtag arose #4YearsOf5SOS so as you guessed, 5sos are 4 years old now!  4 years of banding and derping, 4 years of awesomeness and 4 years of penguins, puppies, kittens and a kangaroo.   Happy birthday 5sos!

Larzaylea is over???

OK so you know how Luke Hemmings is dating Arzaylea, yea well maybe they have split up...

Recently on Arzaylea's Snapchat she posted a video of her and another man naked in bed.  She deleted it soon after but not before some people could save the video...  So while that is confusing enough, she also has been tweeting some cryptic tweets.  One saying something along the lines of " I don't need you to bring me here [AMA's].  I can bring myself here.  Independent b*tch"  what everyone is saying is that Luke didn't invite her to the AMA's and she went anyway to prove her independence, she wasn't with him at the AMA's, I haven't seen any photos and I have been looking really hard...    It was rumoured that she also said "you thought I cared about this relationship, well fu$k it I don't need you" but someone has claimed responsibility for faking that.  If this all wasn't too much for you now read this, there is a rumour that she kissed Michael at a party (well who wouldn't) but I don't think this is true because Michael wouldn't do that to Luke and also she has denied tweets saying they kissed...  People have been tweeting saying stuff like Arzaylea kissed Michael and Luke broke up with her" she has denied the kissing part but not he break up part, and thats what people are using as proof that they broke up.

The media has been saying that Luke cheated on Arzaylea with Hayley Baldwin (they were seen eating together) but fans have quickly shut them down saying "can't you just leave him alone, the boys can't be seen with friends without someone accusing the of dating".
In a recent interview Ashton Irwin has said all 4 boys are single.  Luke however has said nothing, he hasn't even confirmed they are dating (its pretty obvious though).

Personally I think we should back off and stop starting rumours about them and being rude to them.  Its none of our business wether Luke is dating someone or not.  Sure you want to know his status so that you have less stress on you, but really there is no stress on you, there is, however, lots of stress on Luke and Arzaylea, people demanding answers to questions that have evolved from miscommunications...  So just back off...

I will have more information on this in other posts so keep and eye out for that...

Anyway byee xx

(if I have offended you in any way I am sorry I just had a rant at the end and nothing is aimed directly at you, ok :) )

I don't even know what this is...

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time but I have been busy, basically I have been doing competitive sprinting.  I started at school and came 1st in those sprints so I went into the next competition, where all of the central schools of my city compete together.  I then qualified for  the next competition, all of the best of the areas in my town, so its the whole city!  If I qualify I then verse all of the best in the North Island!  I'm really excited and the competition is next week on Tuesday!  Wish me luck!

Comment some ideas for posts 'cause I don't know what to write about...  I have some other posts coming up, I don't even know if anyone reads this blog but anyway, I could be writing to myself or there could be people who read this... Please tell me if you read this, we could be pen pals or something...

Happiness

If you are unhappy or just want a little pick me up read on...

Everyone goes onto those hipster blogs and sees those edits about sadness and sometimes they can make you feel really bad about yourself, but trust me, you are wanted in this world as much as anyone else, you may not feel loved but you are.  To someone out there, you are the reason for their happiness, for their confidence and for the reason they care.  You are the reason someone can't sleep because they are too happy, thinking about the next time they get to see you, because seeing you is such a privilege and shouldn't be waisted, neither should your life.  Your life shouldn't be waisted thinking about all the sad things in life when you are just missing out on the happy things.  Your smile is the reason for the light in their eyes because your happiness is so valuable to them, your happiness is so valuable to me and I can't tell you enough.  You are a treasure because of your personality and the way you handle things, I am so proud of you for coming so far...  Someone out there remembers every little good thing you have said and they might be too shy to say anything but they love you for you.  They love all the little things that make you as close to perfect as you can possibly get because everyone is this world has a point and don't ever tell me otherwise, you are special, you are amazing and without you someone might not have had the confidence to do something but you gave them that confidence because you are awesome and talented and you mean everything to me and to your parent/s and to that special kid who knows your true self, the best you.  You weren't put on this earth so you could spend time trying to get off it.  If you are feeling rad don't let anyone turn that r into an s.  You are one of the best people ever, you have a purpose in this world and that is to live your life not caring about all the sad things.  Its ok to feel sad but remember, a whole lot of people care so much about you.  You can always email me if you are feeling horrible and I will always, always reply because you mean so much to me and to this world.  My email is sportyspice2002@gmail.com (dont judge my email it was a dare).

Life is Like a Vase of Flowers

Hi, so today I get an extra day off school as well as Monday (labour day) because our school has longer days than everyone else's (so we get longer holidays).
So today I was going to read and just be lazy but then I read 'The Manifesto on How To Be Interesting' (it is a really good book) it talked about how to be considered popular according to modern society, it talked about how society has convinced everyone that you have to look nice all the time otherwise you don't matter to others.  You might be thinking 'uhm no I'm not that shallow' but you are, I am, everyone is and no-one means to be.  Think about flowers, you don't pick the crushed, lesser flowers, you pick the most beautiful and nice looking (and smelling) because no-one wants to look at ugly, crushed flowers.  Its like that, society is a vase of flowers and if you are the lesser of the flowers you don't exist because everyones eyes are drawn to the beautiful confident flowers.  I'm not saying your an ugly flower I'm just saying thats how the world is, there is an ugly flower and a beautiful flower and everyone wants to be the beautiful flower.  It's society's hierarchy.   So this goes against everything I have just said, but before you go changing yourself to fit in, just remember that bees don't judge a flower by the way it looks, the bee only cares about what's on the inside. So be the person you want to be and don't worry about other people and their perspectives because their perception of you is different to what anyone else thinks of you, if they bully you its because they are jealous that the bees swarm over your personality.  So find some bees and change the world, also don't do anything to impress someone, especially some one you have a crush on, because if they don't like you for you than they are 'as blind as a guy who's eyes stopped working' (Lego Movie quote).  I have my bees and my tormenting pretty popular flower people but I don't care, I just focus on my bees and my life and all the other flowers disappear off my list of things I care about.  And remember, you can't always be the flower, you sometimes have to be the bee.  Please comment a time where you have been the bee to someone.
