Saturday Fit Tip ~3/9~ – Belladonna’s Flashlight

The truth about cheat days!

Cheat days are a curse word, and when I tell you that you are fooling yourself when you say, “I think I earned this cheat day. Now, reread what I just wrote”.

I earned this CHEAT DAY! 

Do you mean to tell us that since you worked out for an hour, maybe two, each day, and ate healthily, you now deserve an ENTIRE DAY to do what you want and how you like it?

WRONG!!!!!

No one has earned the right to eat like you have no sense for an ENTIRE DAY. Your workout is imperative on the days that you choose to eat something that you know is loaded with calories and goodness.

After or Before indulging, you should welcome a long walk into your plan, followed by 15-30 minutes of weights—preferably an upper and lower-body weighted workout. But don’t stop there. Go into the kitchen and chug water, refill that cup, and chug more water…

London a no-go zone for Jews? Such harmful rhetoric just doesn’t reflect my experience | Natasha Walter | The Guardian

On my way to a recent march, I found myself feeling nervous. Sitting on the tube with my placard, its painted slogan calling for the release of hostages as well as a ceasefire, I realised I was avoiding people’s eyes and that my heart was racing. When I got out of the underground and heard the drums and the chanting, I wondered if I should have stayed home. As a Jew, was I safe?

If I had taken advice from Robin Simcox, the government’s commissioner for countering extremism, I would have stayed home. He stated last week that London turns “into a no-go zone for Jews every weekend”. He is following many others, such as the Telegraph’s Allison Pearson, who said that Jews were “too intimidated to venture into the heart of their own capital city”, or Simon Schama, who said the marches were “weekly public calls for their [Jewish] annihilation”, or the Jewish Chronicle’s Stephen Pollard, who also called London on Saturdays a “no-go zone for Jews”. Such comments really do stoke a sense of vulnerability.

On that day, once I joined the demonstration I realised that there was no need for me to feel nervous. I met up with a group of friends – from Jewish, Muslim and other backgrounds – and marched with them in the sunshine. It was much like any other big London demonstration, peaceful in the sense of being non-violent, but loud, crowded and passionate. It wasn’t fun, but nobody would have expected a march with such a purpose to be fun. And there were some revolting placards I saw afterwards on social media. But my initial apprehension that I might be walking into a situation where I would be unsafe was totally unfounded.
