Basic to Bikini: 28 weeks out - habits + routine
I’ve got a lot of feels at this point. You know when you have so many thoughts that your brain just kind of goes silent? That’s where I’m at. There is a lot going on right now, not just for me, but for everyone – you know, that pesky virus and all. But I’m determined to stick to my prep as best as I can, although my Coles is making that a tad difficult with the obvious lack of chicken breast, beef mince and turkey mince on the shelves. Ah hello, I have macros to meet..

Surviving Quarantine
These past few weeks have been pretty brutal for us. Staying indoors and remaining in isolation is a challenge that many of us were not prepared for. But here we are smacked in the middle of a global pandemic. We are being constantly bombarded with all kinds of information revealing the horrors of this virus threat. Being shown all the chaos through the news and media also puts us in a state of unrest, fear, and panic even if you are unaware that it is happening. Honestly, it feels like the apocalypse and end of the world has begun. But do not stress, this is definitely not the end, and all of this noise will be silenced soon, but until then, we need to focus on the light at the end of this tunnel.

Kong Fit Club: Work(out) From Home
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in quarantine thus far, it’s just how important community truly is. I don’t know about you, but I have definitely upped my screen time by watching Instagram Lives of those from both my personal life and public figures from all walks of life around the world. Getting a glimpse into someone’s personal life (and home) and seeing that they are going through the exact same struggles as you is ironically comforting. It levels the playing field and brings a sense of connection everyone can feel, even through our screens.

Reduce Stress During Social Distancing
With the well-known COVID-19 pandemic, it’s no secret that many individuals are experiencing higher than usual stress and anxiety levels. This is a strange time for all of us, and not knowing what’s to come can lead to feelings of hopelessness and increased stress. For some, their usual coping mechanisms have been temporarily taken away due to the widespread social distancing orders: traveling, visiting friends or family, even going to the bar for a couple drinks. Finding new ways to cope with this uncertainty can be a grueling process, but self-care is a top priority in times like this. Let’s take a look at a few different coping mechanisms that can be done from the comfort of one’s home, or six feet away from others.

Best at home fitness apps
This is a tough time for everyone there's no denying that. But desperate times do call for desperate measures and just because we are all stuck in quarantine due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak doesn't mean we get to slack off. (Ok we do a little bit). Perhaps it's my new found motivation since being on Trikafta... or perhaps it's because I'm stuck at home with nothing else to do... or it could simply be my narcissistic personality shining through as I pretend to be a tip-top person. Nevertheless, as I have nothing better to do i decided to try and improve my exercise regime. I don't have enough will power to do it on my own so I bless modern technology and use apps. Here are some of my favourites fitness apps that I have been using even pre-isolation:
