You might think that people you admire and look up to have everything sorted out. Well, I can tell you, they don't. We are all human and none of us has that skill or ability. We all have our down moments and I wanted to give you this quick reminder that all of us have confusing times, moments of wonder and simply crazy thoughts.
That's ok. Really. How you react to them will determine if this is okay or not. We know this is a blessed life. We also know it has challenges. Recognising those is perfectly fine too! It doesn't mean we won't have a blip in the brain which fills our eyes with tears.Thursday, 4 February 2021

I love my bucket list - what's on yours?
I'm not jumping out of a plane. Or swimming the channel.
Hmm so yes I do love the thrill of doing something exciting but certain things just don't seem to sit right with me if they are on my bucket list. So mine is a little modest perhaps.
The joy that comes with each tick? Still just as precious as ever!
If you enjoyed the last blog post (I expect you did as it went very viral and for which I am so thankful) you will have seen my story of how/when/why I joined the university choir.
The friend I mentioned in the post, Lulu, and I have been chatting frequently and - oh you know what I'm not sure why I felt a need to mention that here but I'm so proud to have her in my life.
Anyhow, Friday happened. And I ticked the bucket list, actually doing myself remarkably proud and being much less imperfect than I expected while still not over achieving (as that might have meant I should have been a child progedy -whilst without time travel- would simply mean it's a tragedy).
Currently I'm lacking in the desire to over share although this might change later on.
Let me tell you, life is taking a course of events as I approach the final year of my degree.
Having just completed the necessary blog posts as part of my course, it was interesting to reflect on what a different person I now am to back in year zero. Of course I was 'in there' and just needed to bloom. Having experienced challenges not only in the science world but also in some of the challenging personalities I have spent time with over this past 4 years I now sense I am really on track.
Stronger than ever, never been so happy and physically growing stronger every day since my illnesses got a bit challenging too.
Had you mentioned this time last year how incredible things would be right now, while under so much dissertation pressure, I am not sure I would have trusted your motives.
So this bucket list (I'm hoping) gets 2 more ticks over Easter as we are heading off to the countryside for my little bit of Wanderlust tree hugging as I get to work on the lambs being born. Loving Easter as one of my favourite times of year, and ready for a break - I am not allowing myself to feel the excitement just yet as I will when I begin the long drive in the 4WD. Our house and it's new log burner is awaiting us in the Welsh countryside and Harley will have a lovely new haircut and no doubt keep me warm at night with his snoring ShihTzu nostrils as always.
One mini manifestation I haven't quite figured out just yet is seeing the Queen. This might be unexciting really but I do love the Royal family and I thought it would be a cool thing to pop on the bucket list. The times I worked at Royal Ascot and Newmarket and the Royals were there but of course, I was busy doing my thing...
Think I might need to add some more to the list. Or will the list of travel destinations I'm working on suffice?
What about you? What's on yours? Ticked any recently? Such a buzz isn't it!
Much love, as always
Louise xoxo

Motivational Monday. What's holding YOU back?
It's gone 11pm.
I tell myself bedtime is 10pm, with 11pm as the cut-off point. Holding myself accountable to my health. You see with Crohns disease comes a whole host of responsibilities. One being 'taking care of self'.
Yet, today, my motivation is through the roof. Not motivation to do my looming homework, but motivation to edit my videos, to share my stories with you guys, to get you guys feeling fired up with belief that you too can have an amazing life!
Looking through drafts of blog posts half written, I wonder when I will be getting the time and opportunity to complete and upload those blogs. I have like, 7 blogs and goodness knows how many ideas and unfinished blogs. I would and could happily sit and write all day long. I've more ideas and ways forward than I know what to do with.
So to answer my own question, TIME is holding me back. Time to write and share with all of you wonderful readers. MY stats are going through the roof and I totally love connecting with all of you. Yet right now I do need to sleep.
I urge you to have a look at this motivational video and answer the questions to yourself.
Ask yourself today if you might be able to perhaps take a tiny step towards bringing your dream into reality. Even if it is a simple thought process.
Good night you amazing folks xxxoxxx

When you know you need a kick up the butt!
Football. England playing. A lack of Eastenders took jasmine and I to a different kind of TV time.
Each night, we light candles, grab a drink and watch tv for 30 minutes.
"Want to watch YouTube instead?" Jas asked.
"Cool, yup" was my casual reply. "Something motivational" I continued. We found this video.
Wow did that kick me in the butt.
Ok so it's not that I'm making excuses. Although if this is an excuse, perhaps I am. I'm not feeling great, lots of pain. I'm trying to sort the house and getting lots of help in for home improvements (lots more to come on this) so things online have suffered.
How many times have I told you guys I will make this blogging gig my full time living? Not without the effort I won't. So I need to work harder, smarter.
Yesterday, this happened...
Undefeated, I took delivery of my wheelchair. I can walk. Just not very far. Which means that, life needs to change.
We all have gifts to offer the world. Or even a passion. People want what you have to give.
Every comment I get with love and positivity to a video or blog post I've written or even to one of my books fills me with JOY. Those are those air punching moments of "Yes! I can do this!"
Yet, this is all up to us. What do you dream of? What do you want to do?
Is blogging one of those dreams?
I can help you if it's technical help you need or want. And this amazing lady Tabitha has helped me massively. Click on her name to learn more.
Meanwhile, I finish this coffee, work on some SEO for this blog post, work a little smarter in order to make life work for me.
So many exciting things are happening this year. I love to share them on this little piece of Internet real estate that's captured my heart. I call it my blog.
<3
Much love
Louise xoxo

Clean 9 detox. Day 6 - weigh in day
April 28th
Day 6
Weight 11.11 1/2
So I lost another pound. Not quite what I was hoping for but nevertheless, 1 lb in 3 days isn’t a bad loss at all. I am wondering if I should keep those carbs even lower though. The odd apple here and there, plus the sweet potato. I always knew these were the things that didn’t agree with me.
Actually, I hadn’t realised I was due for a weigh in.
Feeling the love for my scales I decided to measure instead. It’s crazy really that I am addicted to getting on those scales. I guess it’s fear of re gaining weight. Terrible way to look at it though as of course we will all naturally gain and lose weight. So the measurements were really quite outstanding! I will post those at another time as you will find it hard to believe. The boobs are getting smaller which I’m so glad about. So many pretty redundant bra’s sit gloomily in my drawer. Soon, my friends, soon.
I will do this. I can do this. It’s in the bag. Just watch!
Tonight I’m out on the town. Happily for my friends I am doing the driving and consuming water. Exciting eh. Yes I like the odd glass of spritzer but it’s not a need for me. I love being out, seeing people, listening to music and all.
This morning sees the welcoming of a brand new carton of Aloe in my fridge. I finished the last one now. This is hopefully going to last me until the holiday which is in 6 days time! I can’t quite believe it. 6 days. I cannot wait! I’m so excited!
Thinking about it…my time of the month is just about starting. I’m sure when that kicks in it will aid with the weight loss. Now there’s a cheery thought. Might sound funny to the men reading but it’s actually a really nice ‘detox’ feeling.

Clean 9 detox day 5
Friday 27th March
Day 5
I’m not even kidding! Oh my goodness!
As I woke this morning I reached down to feel a new body. Almost shocked into disbelief i rubbed my tummy and it was tighter, firmer,
My supplementes, my shakes, everyhitng made me smile this morning. I was annoyingly happy. Wanted to say good mooring to everyone, in fact the road sweeper guy said good morning to me. i’m wearing pink for the first time in ages (always in black) and my mood is definitely lifted! I’m so super happy right now!

Clean 9 detox day 4
Thursday 26th March
Day 4
Day 4 already!
Once again, it was hard for me not to weigh in. The main reason I didn't was that I didn't want the become despondent if there isn't much of a loss. Poeple obviously look into reasons as to why you should only weigh on these days. So I waited.
Crazy busy day at work ahead, I was worried at how I would juggle everything.
I turned down numerous cups of tea from my customers and instead asked for just hot water. That sufficed. It was nice!
My tummy has been quiet and happy with everything I consume on the plan. Having 2 shakes a day does keep those hungers at bay!
In the evening, we had to pop to the shops. Well, we didn't have to but i really wanted to make sweet potato fries. I needed a sweet potato. Organic of course.
We passed costa. I chanted a football song: “Ohhhh costa I miss you.”
A hot chocolate with cream was definitely still yum in my opinion. But the way i’m starting to feel is wonderful.
I’ve hurt my elbow and knee (doing too much running up the stairs?) So had to take 4 paracetomol today. I couldn't function without it. But hey ho….
During the evening, I felt awake, alive and happy. It was really like a mini miracle was happening!

Clean 9 detox day 3
Wednesday 25th March
Day 3
Weight: 11.12 1/2
OMG!
Gosh!
Great!
So excited! I had lost 3 lbs in 2 days………..perfectly what I was hoping for!
Perfect! I was so excited and happy!
Couldn’t wait to tell Lisa! I was doing her hair this morning and rather than text her, i would wait to see her. Dancing around the kitchen, I was getting everything ready for my day. Getting it clear in my head what I should exactly be consuming for the day ahead, I made my several bags ready for the day. One rucksack for Uni. One handbag for work, my work bags and my tool box for work. Making a quick video as I shot out the door, I realised I had this really achey elbow!
Dropping off the children at school (with a lack of a wave as it’s too embarrassing) I headed to Lisas house. I was excited to see her! We would be chatting about all sorts of things health and weight loss.
“I Lost 3 lbs!”
“That’s fantastic! Well done Lou!”
She was thrilled for me. Also, a little surprised at how “easy’ I was finding it.
Leaving there to get to london was tricky indeed! I had my lunchtime shake on the way as it was 11am and I decided it was easier to leave the cup in the car. Racing to the station to not miss my train, I soon realised I was stuck! No trains to London. Someone was walking up the track! Nightmare. I had an exam in 90 minutes! Thankfully, long story but I got a lift! Took the exam, made a bit of a silly mistake but then tried to get home. Trains canceled. I had to wait another 30 minutes. I didn’t mind too much although Iit did mean my children had to walk home from school. I saw lots of other passengers going off to get coffee. I was tempted, I could smell coffee everywhere. So I headed to Boots the chemist and looked for the food section. Would they have any of my ‘free’ food. I remembered Kiwi was allowed and there was some there chopped up. Muching that. I loved it.
Tonight is dinner nght.
I cooked lamb leg, with broccoli and spinach.
It was more than delicious. I shoudl have filmed me salivating over it. It was just gorgeous!
An early night was needed as I felt a little tired. Actually fell asleep in front of the TV. One of my least favourite things. Ever.

Day 2
I felt so ready to get on those scales when I woke up. Daily habits aside, I instinctively I felt down to touch my tummy which felt more hollow than the day before. Good! This was working.
Making a little video, I realised how much I was whispering!
I bounced into university with a spring in my step!
My lovely friend who I lunch with realised I wasn’t eating. I hadn’t known she saw this! Until the late afternoon when my tummy rumbled so loudly during the chemistry class!
“You didn’t eat enough at lunch” She chuckled in her indian accent.
She is also watching her diet. The canteen has so much junk and rubbish in there which is such a shame. Espeically seeing as it teaches medicine! Is it so hard to pop an omelette on the menu? This isn’t somewhere we are choosing to go out and eat, this is our daily lives. So treats should be kept for the former idea! Anyhow, my friend finds these little pots of porridge taste and Oats sure do fill you up. Of course, this is something I can’’t eat due to my coeliac. I wonder if differenct people from different parts of the world tolerate different things. I know the middle eastern world has less crohns and colitis.
Speaking of Crohns and Colitis, we have just signed up to get involved int he sponsored walk in London. IT’s a charity thing we do each year and it’s just fantastic! Such a great sense of community. Getting together with people with the same condition is super. I’m double sure I wouldn’t be so well as I am today if it weren’t for that diet change.
So back to my lunch, it was cucumber and apple once again and I did enjoy it. I\’m determined to follow t his plan to the letter and not waiver. This way I can get a real feel of what it’s doing when people ask me. If someone comes to me (me: I can’t lose weight easily) saying they didn’t lose weight, I know that they have cheated/not followed the plan etc.
I felt a little sleepy ont he train on the way home and I think i dozed off for a couple of minutes. I had walked hard today. Chasing my fringe up the stairs to and from the underground station. This was my exercise. Getting home seemed like it was going to be a haven. Except I still had some work to do.
Eventually, at 9pm I stopped to take a breath. This was all too much today. Feeling grumpy, I resented the fact that there was so much to do other than focus on my health and its needs. I wanted to be consumed with the requests of my body.
Missing a dose of the jelly, I took the final 2 shots of the day. To take 4 seemed daft really. I wasn’t hungry at all but really wanted a bath which i couldnt’ be bothered to take, then get to bed. My little children were always lighting me up for the rest of the day! I love them!

My experience on the Clean 9 detox - Forever Living
After what seems like an eternity of going to networking events and having business cards stuck under my nose from various health and weight loss claimants, I have finally given in to try one.
Networking shouldn't be about forcing your sales on people and it is so super off-putting! Honestly, it makes me turn my back with a slight chip on my shoulder. If you believe in something, you should be a walking example.
Networking shouldn't be about forcing your sales on people and it is so super off-putting! Honestly, it makes me turn my back with a slight chip on my shoulder. If you believe in something, you should be a walking example.
Read the full story here
I have heard various reports about the claims of Aloe Vera on Crohn's patients and erring on the side of caution, I have only once tried some of the juice from the shops which didn't seem to do a great deal for me. It wasn't forever though and it was quite a few years ago.
Two friends of mine started to rave about Forever last year. I trusted them and began to watch what they are doing. Seemed interesting. Nice house, cars and lifestyle. Things were going well for them. But I was busy. As we all get. No time for that.
My good friend Lisa got onboard with the company as a distributor. She has been very successful in sales all through her career. However, her tactic (if you call it that) was to tell you things as it is. If it's not good or right for you, she tells you. If she thinks something will benefit you, she will tell you!
As she became a distributor for Forever, I decided to start taking notice.
After some of my own research, I decided to bravely try an experiment. Could the Clean 9 detox work for me?
So here it is; no holds barred. I reveal everything. Honestly and truthfully.
Over the next few days I will be posting videos and blog posts to show you my experience.
You will also be able to get your own Clean 9 pack (the next 20 sales have 5% off with this link: https://thealoeveraco.shop/ESP1Bd31

Clean 9 day 1
Weight at: 12.1 1/2
That was a shock weigh in. I’d lost weight over the weekend! Madness. Must have been all that walking. Thinking back over it, I guess we hadn’t eaten much really. Although I drank some wine. So here I was, at a pretty good starting weight, hoping to be in the 11’s pretty soon!
First thing, there is Aloe Vera gel to drink. The taste was odd but not revulting. I also took the Garcinia plus which has crazy amounts of something in it. This is kind of a supplement. Also with that, there are tablets called forever therm. In here there are many B vitamins which strangely is also in Berocca. That’s known for making you feel good! Interesting. It also makes you pee a bit yellow so be warned. You might look and think you are dehydrated as this is a typical symptom of dehydration. However, worry not. It’s normal when you are taking B vitamins. Of course you may be detoxing a bit through your pee too!
There are some things called “free foods” which are foods low in GI. Glycemic Index. This is a number given to food to determine the effect it has on your blood sugar. You may know that peaks and drops in your blood sugars is what can contribute to terrible cravings, eating too much and weight gain.
Preparing my free food box for the day, i had an apple and half a cucumber. If lunch was provided, I could eat that at my training day. I also had to take in with me some Aloe gel in an empty water bottle (must be kept cool and out of sunlight) to have at lunchtime. I would keep a bit of that and add my Fibre sachet, shake it up and drink that! This is designed to help with bowel movements. There would also be more supplements at lunchtime. These are all labelled up so it’s easy to see what you should be having and when.
The shake should be taken at lunchtime but I wasn’t so sure about doing that so I decided to have it for breakfast. I had chocolate flavour and I was surpisend at how nice it tasted. The best shake I’ve had in like, forever.
Hungry? Nope, not at all. Although I had to laugh. We got a long lunchbreak and I had seen my favourite coffee shop just down the road called Costa. Bravely going in, I ordered my mint tea. Never ever do I get ‘upsold to’ except today.
“Can I get you anything else? A Cake maybe” inwardly I grinned and I just said, “No thank you”
So me, my mint tea and my bag full of secret stash sat in the corner revising chemistry!
The rest of the day was a breeze. I made some videos to go on my Youtube channel which I decided to share at a later date. These have so much information inside! Talking of Youtube, I took a massive decision to share my channel on my Facebook page. I haven’t done this at all in the past 4 years. Fear of judegement. Yet my friends from the weekend were tagging me in posts and photos and I really didn’t want it to impact me having to hide them away. So I made an announcement which was very well received! Happy days.
Going to bed, I still wasn’t hungry and I felt little, like so much smaller!
The future seems so bright, bouncy, fluffy and pink. Happy day today!

Tony Robbins wisdom to motivate you!
If you've never seen, heard or read Tony Robbins, you are in for a treat.
I actually doubt you've not seen his material, as a reader of my blog. Much of what we think about in this website is exactly Tonys kind of stuff.
Re-watching these videos (this is a compilation of his best bits) is like reaffirming all that you already know. It doesn't matter how much of an expert you are, we all need reminding sometimes.
As I sat to watch this video, I decided that you guys need me to share it here on my blog.
So, if you are wanting to change life, come on over and have a look here. You will love this!
Feel free to share this blog post so others can watch if from your Facebook or twitter.
See more stuff like this but from my own thoughts on my Youtube channel (we have many subjects here!)
Wishing you an awesome day and much love

Feel free to email me (click here) with private questions or of course encourage me with questions below.
Find out more about this new approach to health via my website Motiv-weight
Sending much love to you all as this lovely Christmas approaches!

Why the scales could hinder your weight loss
Why the scales could hinder your weight loss success
You've heard this one before haven't you. 'They' tell us not to weight too often. I sit on the fence a little. Here's my reasons for and against. Which one works for you?
Reasons not to weigh:
When you are dieting, you are on a white knuckle ride gripping on for dear life. When you weigh constantly you give off an air of desperation and need which is a negative feeling. If you know me and my writing, you will know I'm a firm beleiver in the Law of Attraction. What you give out is what you get back.
You need to remain calm, focused and positive.
Did you ever think you were doing great on your new crash diet and get on the scales to be dissapointed? What if you even gained a little weight!? Oh my goodness I bet it ruined your day?!
Were you walking around miserable and upset for the rest of the day? Simply because half a pound was gained at the scales. Even worse than that is when I have weighed clients who have been dissapointed with a loss.
"Only a pound?" They exclaim.
Your weight will naturally go up and down throughout every day. So expect ups and downs. This is NORMAL.
Also, getting on the scales will encourage that crash diet mentality rather than thinking log term and a new way of life.
Reasons to weigh:
Many people love to use the scales as the way to track and measure what is going on with their body. It is a great way to punch the air and shout woo hoo 'it's working'.
Without the scales it isn't quite so easy to guess if it's working for you.
If you are on a plan which will show you how quickly you can lose weight say 5lbs in a week - you aspire to that, expecting that success. Belief is a huge part of your success. Without belief it will never happen.
On the next blog we will show you exactly what you should be doing instead of getting on the scales.
