Congratulations Coach Simone!!!

Defending Welsh and British Champion, Coach Simone entered her second Welsh Powerlifting Championship yesterday and once again surpassed even her own very high expectations with her performance.
Leading up to the competition, Simone was struggling with a shoulder injury, that has really hindered her preparation in all three lifts, but particularly her bench press. Despite this, Coach Sim prevailed! With her positive, resilient and never say die attitude that optimises the toughest Celtic Warrior, Coach Simone Not only retained her title and qualified for the British Championship with ease!!! But in the process broke her own Welsh, British and European Records in 2 of the 3 lifts.
Coach Simone’s total was also a British record even though she chose to only perform one comfortable lift on the bench press to manage her injury!

We are all sooooo proud of her! The entire Celtic community have sent messages of support and congratulations and will be fully supporting her preparations for further achievements, maybe even World records at the upcoming British Championships! She continues to inspire our Celtic warriors and Warriorettes in her coaching, performance and probably most importantly her warm caring nature!
It doesn’t go unnoticed!!

Thank you Gremlin

20120614-215853.jpg

A few minutes in the kitchen and some tasty paleo this evening- some pork sweet potato and apple patties courtesy of the gremlins link accompanied with a boiled egg a nice meal containing protein, veg, fruit and the essential to keep you feeling fuller, fat.

Plus a creation of my own macadamia and date paleo brownies for some paleo treatage. And I am not usually a fan or do i spend much time cooking, unless it is a nice steak!

Remember anything on the sweeter side must still be eaten in moderation as any ‘treat’ should be especially during the first week or two as your body tries to adjust!! Not just replacing lots of your meals/snacks with ‘Paleo’ versions of your old sweet favourites. A sweet tooth is a Bitch to cure, sticking to paleo meals and snacks that contain a source of protein (meat/fish/eggs), fat (nuts/seeds/paleo oils/avocados) fruit, vegetables each time as much as you can is a must otherwise you are really changing nothing about your food habits.

Remember this is a food choice transformation as well as a body and performance transformation. For you to look differently at how you approach and choose the food you put in your mouth and as a result fuel your body. Make changes for the better and for the long term keep it up people be wise with your body’s fuel!!

Feel free to bring any creations you create to the box for others to try and share your ideas and tastes (also it will stop you eating a full paleo chocolate pie to yourself Bevs? We are a community here. Ha!)
