Goodmorning my beautiful people...

I am feeling fit and ready for a 30 minute morning jog. This will help with the blood circulation and let the body and brain get fresh oxygen from your surroundings.
You should make sure that you have a healthy breakfast an example could be something like this:

Breakfast1 cup wholegrain cereal (hot or cold)
1 cup skim milk
½ banana
¼ cup dried fruit, such as raisins

After that great breakfast have a cup of boiling water with one tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt in it.Also make sure that you stay hidrated and always, always have water or 100% juice with you, in place of fizzy drinks.

For lunch, try something like:

Lunch1 tuna-salad sandwich on wholewheat bread
1 cup Soup For All Seasons

For that afternoon snack have something light and that would keep you full and last you till the time you get home for supper...
Something like:

Afternoon snack4 wholegrain crackers spread with 2 heaped tsp peanut butter

If you have energy and feel like you wana get fresh oxygen after work, try going for another 30 minute jog/walk to make you relax after a long day.

For dinner have something light and quick to prepare and a bit of dessert would not hurt at all.

DinnerCaesar salad topped with 85g grilled or sautéed chicken-breast strips and
1 tbsp Caesar dressing

Dessert or evening snack½ cup low-fat frozen yoghurt topped with ⅓ cup low-fat muesli and blueberries.

Exercise and a Diet Plan...

A good way of getting yourself into shape and a great way to be healthy, is exercise and exposing yoursef to fresh and new relationships with those you are linking yoursef with.

My own experience in doing exercise and associating myself with people who are doing the same thing as me, is that I expose myself to new friendships, and a great way of keeping healthy and fit.

The best way is to link yourself up with POSITIVE people who are going to motivate you and keep up the good spirits. I joined a bunch of my class mates who are jogging and doing things to keep themselves fit, healthy and fresh.

Here is a diet plan I found on: http://www.womenshealthsa.co.za/weight-loss/eating-strategies/meal-plan-to-lose-weight


Breakfast1 slice vegetable (courgette, pepper, asparagus, mushroom) frittata
(125 to 150g)
1 slice wholegrain toast with
1 tsp butter or 2 tsp canola spread


Lunch1 x 150g chicken breast, on the bone
¾ cup cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw
1 small slice rye bread


Afternoon snack⅓ spanspek

Dinner1 serving Fusilli with Mushrooms and Swiss Chard
Baby greens tossed with 2 tbsp olive oil vinaigrette or low-fat salad dressing

Dessert or evening snack1 small serving homemade apple crumble topped with ½ cup low-fat vanilla frozen yoghurt and 1 tbsp toasted walnuts
