Fitness: May Diary

May was a wonderful month, my fitness was a little (a lot) disrupted due to being on holiday. My riding has improved which is fantastic and with it my core strength.

What went well

My scheduled riding lessons and a hack while away kept me in riding shape, which has helped strengthen my core. Lots of walking definitely was part of our city break!

What could have gone better

Time! Being abroad for most of the month simply meant I was far too busy to care about my fitness. Which is pretty great really, I had no stress or worries about this and just truly enjoyed my time away. Which in its own way is super healthy – your health and fitness should be a benefit to a healthy lifestyle not your whole life!

Stats:

Riding lessons: 6

Gym sessions: 3

Yoga sessions: 3

Swims: 3

June’s Plan

So my gym has unfortunately closed while it is going through the process of being bought, which is just a little annoying! So my gym sessions will be lacking. I’m going to make a little home work out circuit but most concentrate on improving my swimming and yoga as well as keeping up my regular riding lessons .

Do you have any fitness goals for June?

Beauty: Gel Nail Fix

On my journey to DIY beauty one key area that I plan to focus on is my nails. Previously an acrylic addict this is going to be hard for me. My biggest issue is that my nails are fairly thin and weak, so I need to take more care of them.

When back in the UK I ordered all the parts I needed in order to be able to do my own gel nails and so far I’m a convert! Its fairly quick (maybe an hour to remove a set and do a new set) which is about how long you have to leave paint to dry and it looks much nicer and lasts longer (win win).

I also really love that because it’s a home you can fix a nail as and when you need. So I had a thumb nail peel off (my own fault – newbie to this) and I could fix this in about 5 minutes which was so amazing.

Before – missing polish
After – all fixed

The look is a lot more subtle but I’m liking it – way easier for typing, riding, cleaning etc! What do you guys do with your nails?
