Everyone loves the sun and being outside. I don’t know many who don’t!! Nature is a natural feel good. However, we all hear that depression increases in winter and it’s no wonder with all the dark, dreary and dead cold days. Day in and day out. Today was such an exception though. The sun came out to play. So, off we went to join it!! Had to start the day just simply relaxing with the sun on my face. Gosh I soaked it up. It was a cold day – but that sun just seeped into every pour and put … Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge #hearttime 18/19 June 2011

Onliners come in all shapes and sizes. Some are here to connect with family, some are here to promote their business, some are here to simply connect. In many ways when I started my online journey all those years ago now it was purely for work purposes. I lived in an IT world… project administration, eCommerce, online banking, extranets and making it happen. It engulfed my life. I watched the dot.com crash, the Y2K succeed and the birth of social media. its been a good journey. So it never surprised me when I immersed myself into the “age of conversation“. … Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge #hearttime 17 June 2011

So, I tried some vitamins and they sent me to the moon… (remember this post: https://charlierobinson.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/healthy-heart-challenge-hearttime-10-june-2011/). So, I hand today’s blog over to Kelly Hamilton from Body Life Balance who explains more about our health supplements. Hope you enjoy her words of wisdom 🙂 Heart health and supplementation Kelly says “Balance is best and less is more is what I advise my patients. These days the standard Australian diet contains mostly acid forming foods, the soils are deficient of vital minerals and we are exposed to a barrage of chemicals and others stresses on a daily basis. So even if you … Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge #hearttime 15 June 2011

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s volcanic ash over Adelaide and everything has come to a grounding halt. Except my client meetings, catchups and freelance things to finish. whoop. Didnt get to walk today. Bugga. Will tomorrow. You? Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge #hearttime 14 June 2011

Beautiful start to my day being woken by birds singing and a clear blue sky to look out on. It fills the heart with such a lovely feeling. In less than one week I am feeling stronger and healthier just from simply being aware that I want to look after my body and having fantastic girlfriends and support around me to motivate me on. It really has been a great start to the Healthy Heart Challenge. During this time Ive been having conversations in my social media streams and hearing lots of stories. I have met Andrew, who gave me … Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge #hearttime 4 June 2011

#hearttime was spread across the day. starting out this morning i did some exercises (bit aerobic like) and then tonight concentrated on the insides with a fresh vegetable stirfry. it was yummy, quick, and healthy. Ive been reading a few books about breaking habits. One of the things they recommend is instead of vegging out in front of the TV every night (or for me that’s the computer), to recognise the difference between mental and physical exhaustion. Meaning, we may be mentally exhausted, but we wouldnt be physically. Exercise will actually make us feel better. So, now I just have … Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge 23 May 2011

cant hide it, cant deny it, had a great day… not sure if this is considered Healthy Heart though? I did select the better toppings options, so does that count? Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge 11/12 May 2011

It’s been a combo of bedroom exercises (dont look further – xrated) and running around the arse-end of no where for DeadReds to host a truly wonderful event for the guys in the beautiful Geraldton, WA. No rest for the wicked. All #hearttime Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge 4-10 May 2011

See, this is why I started now… the most I did today was run around like a headless chook for my client. I did mange to also run out into the store and purchase these digital (iPad looking) scales for the beautiful miss Antoinette!! Note to self: I must do better on Day Four… Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge, Day Three

Not all things are easy. Generally Day Two of anything is hard. BUT… I met some Twitter friends for a coffee and then came home and did stretching exercises (yep that’s the camera swinging above my head in the foto) as it was too dark to walk. Did it get my heart racing? Probably not as much as it should but I will work on it. Note to self: must do better on Day Three Continue reading Healthy Heart Challenge, Day Two
