Banana Muffins
Hi!
Although we had a fluttering of winter weather yesterday in Edinburgh, we don't get that much snow at all here. Children learn to ski on the local dry ski slope, and I've been taking my 8 year old son for his first ski lessons there this week.
He has come back from each lesson happy and glowing, having been out in the fresh air for over two hours (and it's pretty fresh on an Edinburgh hillside!) despite falling over a lot and struggling with getting up the hill on the tow contraption. He came back yesterday proudly clutching his level 3 certificate and can't wait to go again.
Anyway, he was my inspiration for this week's article "Inspired to Burn Calories" although burning calories was the last thing on his mind.
What would make you happy and glowing (apart from toasting yourself in front of a log fire)?
Have a great weekend
Love

Feature Article : Inspired to Burn Calories
The very word exercise conjures up fear and dread in many of us. It's a word that we associate with hard work, huffing and puffing and being pretty uncomfortable.
But if you feel like that about exercise, it just means that you haven't found an activity which inspires you yet - an activity which you look forward to rather than dread.
How can you get that magic inspiration which will make you want to move your body?
1. Find the courage to try new activities
There are activities out there that you will love. You just have to find them. But you won't find them by sitting in your armchair, dismissing exercise as "not for you".
Research all the activities you can do in your local area and try them out one by one, starting with the ones which appeal to you the most and those you've never considered trying. Give each one your best shot, get over the initial learning hump and see if it works for you.
Many people whose only exercise was running a mile when they hear the word "gym" have learned to love moving their bodies with fencing, ice-skating, ballroom dancing or horse riding.
2. Find an outcome to be proud of
Sometimes it's not so much the activity which inspires you but the results. You will be more motivated to exercise if you set yourself a target and move towards it bit by bit each week.
Log your activities and progress so that you can see the new you in the making as you get fitter and stronger. Just think how proud you would be if you went from getting out of breath walking for 5 minutes to jogging for 20 or managing a 5 mile hike.
3. Find a cause to believe in
Many charity events have inspired people to physical achievements they would not have thought possible. The charity relying on you and the visibility of your success or failure among your sponsors will help drive you on to succeed. How many walkers or runners would have given up their training if it were not for helping a chosen charity?
Look out for local and national events and get into training to help a good cause, while doing yourself some good too.
4. Find a truly challenging goal
There a some expeditions throughout the world to places you can only dream of which require you to get into good physical shape. Do you think you could be inspired into action, if your end goal was a mountain-climbing holiday in Peru, Sea-Kayaking in the Galapagos or Tracking the Snow Leopard in the Himalayas? These are just some of the thousands of expeditions available out there. What kind of expedition would inspire you? You may just dream of lounging on a beach on a paradise island, and that's fine too. Make it a goal to be in fantastic shape on that beach and get inspired!
