Motivated to Move…

Welcome to Motivated to Move…the ramblings of a seasoned woman going through the menopause and spinning life beyond her gym classes!

Motivated to Move is my very own blog project documenting the things I love to do as I reach this pivotal moment in my life: expressing my faith, walking, hiking, health, dancing and anything that supports my wellbeing journey – who knows … perhaps Motivated to Move will ignite some of your own passions to help you remain fit and healthy as well!

Let’s go…

Yep I was definitely the dancing queen this evening 💃🏽💃🏽.

First I was in my element whilst trialing my new 4ft barbell with a quick upper body session. This was followed by a spin class which I hadn`t done in a `lil while 🏋🏽‍♀️💪🏽🚴🏽‍♀️ and then my karaoke favourite came on 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽. All in all a good evening with my energy levels back where they should be.

Whenever I pause training my body is hit with a wave of fatigue. When I start moving again I feel so much better 🙈🫣☺️. Do any medics out there know why this is (asks the menopausal 55 year old 😅😅😅)?

Best laid plans ...‼️ I was really looking forward to attempting a section of the Capital Ring Walk with BFF @dimples.vadher today but the on/off downpours put us off ☔️🌧️🌦️. We still managed a respectable 7.7 mile walk (we even had a bit of sun here and there☀️🌤️) ... as well as fitting in an impromptu upper body gym session and of course a good old catch up 🚶🏾‍♀️🥾🏋🏽‍♀️☕️🗣️

My dad ... Willy (Bill) Toussaint — a firm fixture at the African Caribbean Centre in Leicester. How proud he would be to see his daughter @toussaint1974 behind the leadership of the centre as one of the founders of @ahaleicester.

Another wow moment and a fitting end to the evening 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

This amazing woman is Dee Shiels who used to run the girls club I attended from aged 11-14. She was responsible for my passion for walking following our trip to Aberystwyth when I was 12 years old. We walked, swam in streams and rode horses and host of other fun activities. She also arranged for a videographer to visit the girls club one day and I remember the woman telling me I should be a TV presenter which I secretly always wanted to be from that day onwards.

It`s been such a great night, seeing old faces and being amongst such inspirational people. Thanks @ahaleicester - a brilliant event.

My sis Susan Lescott would be so proud watching her husband Gary receive an award this evening for @atlas.boxing gym. He was selected by an independent panel which makes the win all the more significant. Sue wasn`t around to watch the gym open but I know she would be so proud Gary of your achievement and the impact you are making on young lives in Leicester.

We are all forever proud of you. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
