HELPING LADIES OVER 40 GET FITTER, STRONGER, DEVELOP POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH FOOD AND BECOME UNSTOPPABLE CHIT, CHATTER & CHUCKLES
Why the scales may go up after eating a few more carbs (it doesn't mean it's fat)
Day 1 of taking the knee brace off after 6 months. Now 8 weeks post knee surgery. Time to slowly build that confidence and muscle back up
You don't need to feel ready.You just need to go.
Is more fruit okay? Are frozen foods ok?
3 things to help you get started today
Have you ever noticed motivation shows up after you start?
Strength shows up in many ways.Happy Mother's Day to the amazing mums out there.
Eating out at weekends & the curious case of the jacket potato
The biggest changes often start with the smallest signs.Feeling stronger.Moving easier.Doing things that used to feel hard.
That won't make a difference…try it. It's the small things that add up
Why chocolate helped people lose weight
Lower the barrier. Getting started is hard
Things are going well, so I may as well stop
Every Friday I see the same thing.People doing better than they realise.
Try this if you're struggling with mindless snacking. If you're planning your snacks? You're in control? Keep going. A quick snack check can save a lot of mindless grazing.
All that fuss from falling over in the playground
My polite kick up the bum from the kids
Confidence comes from evidence. You only get evidence from showing up (even when you don't want to)
If you're not seeing the results you want, remember this.
There's no point doing that, I'll start when I'm stronger & have more time / life is less hectic
Nervous at the start…now consistent and stronger
It's rarely the plan.It's how the plan is delivered.
“I may as well finish it…” ever said that whilst feeling full up? Me too. Challenge for today: start to become aware of when you say that / do that
If you take magnesium for energy and sleep, does the energy part counteract the sedative part?
Am I working hard enough in sessions?
The beauty of resistance exercise and strength training
Nutrition lessons from Valentine's Day
Is it worth taking collagen or protein powders? Doesn't digestion just break it down anyway?
When I see the scales go down, I start to sabotage
Do as I say not as I do….this hypocrisy is the thing that I used to motivate me over the last few weeks. And I never knew I wasn't a fan of injections until I had to do it myself
How to keep going this week and build your confidence up (even if you think it's not working right now)
Most of your wins will be boring. So boring you may not even notice them. Here's why you need to notice them and give yourself a pat on the back along the way
Do this before the weekend gets going
Are you lowering calories post knee surgery?
Experience has a funny way of changing what you believe.What used to matter… often isn't the thing that actually matters.
Different questions.Same answer.The right level is the one you can repeat —even on cold, dark, ordinary days. Worth remembering on a Wednesday
Comparison ignores context.Different bodies.Different starting points.Different seasons.Progress only makes sense when you measure it against yourself.If comparison inspires you? Use it. If you it drains you of energy? Use that energy to focus on how you could move forward today. After all, that's all that matters
Progress doesn't always look the same. That's why it's good to take inspiration from others but not to just simply compare.Take yesterday, we saw 20 do the Longevity Games and achieving great things.Today for me is about rehab, patience, and small wins, like bending me knee a bit more
Day 4 post knee surgery: rice crispies & focussing on what I can do
Post knee surgery update Overall, very positive and 50/50 if I'll need more surgery (whereas before it was almost certain)..I'll know in 8-10 weeks. Now for physio
