What’s the deal with sugar?
In the process of preparing for last week’s Raw Desserts Masterclass (which was one of the best classes I’ve run so far!) I’ve taken time to do some research on sugar as it’s the hottest subject nowadays. You might have encountered a blog post, article or someone doing an sugar-free diet already. Or you’re doing it already. But what’s the deal with sugar and why did we end up where we are today?

Change is good + 3 Changes You Can Make Today
You know what? Change is fantastic! We need change in order to continue growing, and if we’re not growing, we’re dying. It’s as simple as that.
Change comes in all sorts of ways. You might change your work place, your location or style. You might even change your diet and way of living. That is good. Usually change is welcomed with resistance. Don’t we all know it so well? But what happens when you cross the threshold? How do you feel about it? Today I want to share some of my recent small BIG change, what I’ve learnt from it and 3 small changes you can make to live a healthier lifestyle and hope to at least inspire you to make a small change.

What I’ve learnt from going through scoliosis surgery
It’s been 2 weeks since I woke up warm and high on anaesthetics in a white post op room. Some of you might have received my ultra high, packed with anaesthetic and pain killers voice messages. Oh, those are fun to listen to now! It felt as if no time has passed and nothing happened. Yet I was connected to oxygen and tubes were coming in and out of me. Compared to my initial scoliosis surgery 10 years ago this has been a piece of cake.
As you may know by now, I’ve prepared mentally and physically for this surgery for the past 4-5 years and I knew everything would be ok. I’m in awe of how amazing the human body is. It’s not like I didn’t know that already, but seeing it change, strengthen and recover every day is somewhat of an amazing thing. Having prepared for so long for this, it went down a treat and took care of itself impeccably. On the other side, I am compelled to share my emotional lessons which were so much more stronger than the physical ones this time. And there were a lot of tears…
Here are my 3 most important lessons I’ve learnt in the past 2 weeks:

5 ways to ease back pain
I’m not sure if I mentioned yet, but next week is my first triathlon! AAAAAAAAA! I decided to sign up for it in mid-July and get out of my comfort zone a bit before I go for surgery in November 2015. In case you didn’t know already, that’s my back up there in the image.
Well, in all fairness, I pretty much jumped out of it! Since then I learned how to swim – Yay! – and I’ve put in a lot of pool hours, some cycling and a bit of running. It’s funny how the thing I was most scared of – swimming – became my favourite part and the part I was most relaxed about – running – became my least prepared one.
