Whatever you call yours remember to enjoy very occasionally - they are delicious, but high in fat & sugar!

“You’re not working hard if you aren’t sweating.”

This is totally false! Sweating is not an indicator of how hard you’ve been working, but rather your body just trying to cool itself down.

Try not to use how much you have or haven’t sweat to gauge the effectiveness of your workout.

Stop the self-sabotage! You cannot compare your health journey with someone else’s … that ‘perfect’ picture is often not what it seems!
