A day in the life of a VERY pregnant , health coach , full time working mother!

Hello there my beloved readers…Its been a while I blogged. I thought I need to blog again because  lots of my coaching clients wants to know what to eat and how to find time to exercise and move and so much more.

I want to lead by example and for the benefit of my clients and my readers I will write a blog about my DAY. I have 24 hours just like everyone else and I juggle work, home duties, a toddler , a super busy eight year old and my coaching clients. 

Today is a blessed day not just because it is Eid and the beginning of long weekend for us Dubai dwellers. But the much awaited opening of the swimming pool has happened. Ok we were planning to go to pool by 6 in the morning but we overslept!!! I dragged myself out of the bed because JJ woke up suddenly screaming “we are late to go to the pool"!!!! OK, now everyone is fully awake with that shrieking even Linuk. I drank my 500ml water and finished my bathroom duties and start ordering everyone around. I ate a slice of whole grain pita with Tahina and a quarter of a banana. Linuk went for his Goat milk formula and JJ and daddy reach for the balance of the banana. 

We hit the pool by 7.30 am. Hooray we are the first family to arrive at the brand new pool. There was no clock so I got the life guard to do the time check!!! I swam for thirty minutes and started wading around with Linuk. We take turns taking care of Linuk and swimming. August heat started beat us around 9 and we decided to go home. It’s a 3 minute walk and we are sopping wet and HAPPY!

I got myself and Jenara to wash our hair with ACV to wash off the chlorine. Nice and clean it is time to succumb to my weakness  every weekend KIRIBATH and cuppa coffee or tea. Then I walked my 30 minutes. Sat down to write this blog now at 11am. Now got to go out to pick some groceries. Before that need to make my meal plans for everyone for the whole week and then the shopping list. I need to ensure we eat fish three times a week , eat ample fruits and veggies , snacks and top of all is not to waste any of the purchases. 

I will be walking around two different super markets for about three hours every Friday doing this. Absolutely divine experience!!! I walk and I love to do hands on shopping. I do a lot of lable reading and It’s a skill that should be developed by anyone striving for a healthier life. In my prime time health program, clients learn to label read and select products with no nasties.

We came back around 4 pm after 4 hours of divine walking in the mall as we parked as far as possible and did a bit of window shopping and purchased something small from Petite Bateau (if I didn't do that therapy is not complete). I went shopping at a prestigious shop but the nasty ingredients make their third class appearance loud and clear (sigh!) . I chose some long weekend once in a while nasties (made sure they are less nasty than most). I bought a lot of fresh produce , Wild Alaskan salmon and some dry goods like pulses. But I found a very good bread suggested by a very good friend and I am planning to share it with my clients when they want suggestions.There is one ingredient that Iam suspicious about and Iam going to send the producer a mail about.

It’s Sri Lankan lunch day and we quickly ate and left at  4.30 for the tennis lessons. I walked 30 minutes again in the park bare foot watching a favourite telly soap.

Came home showered and time to go for a dinner party arranged by my lovely friends!!! It’s going to be a long night but company of good loving friends is a must-not-miss and Iam ready to face the challenges of a late-night by lots of exercises to day.

I like to bust some myths for you !

Good Morning! It’s a glorious day here in Dubai. It’s sunny , warm and breezy! It’s the beginning of the best times of the year. I love living in Dubai. Anyone else would say yes it is tax free and good money.  For me it poses a great opportunity to live a healthier life.   I can open doors to a wealth of information and can access the  best products in the world . There are ample exercising opportunities like parks , gyms, malls, bootcamps , yoga and so much more.  I said I have access to world class products. True, Dubai is Shopaholics paradise but what I meant was I have access to products that can enhance the quality of my life.  Beginning from today I would like to write an article every week about some of the product myths that we embrace as truths. The real truths can set you free. I hope you will enjoy reading some very interesting information that I plan to share with you. Let me begin with an all time favourite of the worl...

Why NO2 Dump Exercise is the best for working moms - Four amazing reasons

Developed by Dr. Zach Bush and perfected by Dr. Mercola NO2 Dump is my favourite exercise. Oh yeah!  Did I tell you that I met my husband at a gym? Tweny three years ago we both pumped at a gym called Power World in downtown Colombo, that's where we bumped in to each other! Before we became parents, especially parents of three children, we regularly went to the gym. Thirteen years ago when I got pregnant with Jenara I quit exercising at the gym.I went back time to time but it was not a priority for me anymore. I have changed from being a super fit workohilic to a working mom.  When I came across Nitric Oxide Dump Exercise, I was delighted !  It is the most amazing thing after coffee. Here are the reasons why working moms should love Nitric Oxide Dump; As a health-conscious mom, this is one of the best things that happened to me . I am not guilty of not being there for the family. I spend quality time with my kids, cook great meals, work and I get to exercise every single...
