Jessamy Green Coaching

I’m basically at my pre pregnancy weight & feeling SO much better in myself as time is going on

Partly due to my clothes fitting better but I’ve also felt such a shift hormonally since Rory turned 2

Up until Rory turned 2 I felt stuck at 4KG above what my pre pregnancy weight was & I probably sat there for nearly a year - it would constantly drop, then jump back up

Stress, lack of sleep, more stress & a habit of snacking when I am stressed just made any long term changes impossible

BUT since Rory turned 2 I’ve been determined to tackle the issue & with changing my meals up, moving more (& overall being slightly less stressed) i’ve seen a shift & the weight has come off & stayed off

The main shift though? My mindset

- Accepting that my body now was unlikely to ever look the exact same as it did pre pregnancy

- Realising I now have an even bigger driving force, I want to be healthy and happy for ME but also for Rory too

- Switching from the focus on the scales & measurements to how my sleep was, how my bowels were, how energised & healthy I felt

These three main changes have meant the small changes i’ve made in my routine have been so much easier - because i’m chasing health, balance & longevity, not the way I looked at 21 😂

I still have an overhang from my c section & I don’t love my belly but i’m so much more accepting of it & what it did for me than I was this time 2 years ago ♥️

If you’re struggling with your body postpartum - just know it takes time to process & accept everything you went through. No matter how your pregnancy, labour & birth went, your body did THE most intense thing ever & you need time to heal, recover & grow from it 🌞

(also excuse the photos - living mid reno with a toddler is wild)

For the past 4 weeks i’ve been running a challenge with my clients based on 4 themes:

Consistency

Nutrition

Progression

& Discipline

& i’ve LOVED it

Everyone’s been checking in, everyone’s been pushing themselves (in one of the busiest social months of the year!!!) & everyone’s progressed over the past 4 weeks

They’ve got stronger, been more on the ball with steps, improved their nutrition & have had drops in weight 🥰

& this is proof that if you focus on the basics & you push yourself - in just 4 weeks you could be feeling like a new woman

SO - if you want to start September being challenged, being pushed to do better & to be guaranteed progress

Message me the word “PROGRESS” (or hit the sticker on my story) & i’ll send you my offer for September

& you’ll be feeling like a new woman by October x

I speak to so many mums who say they lost themselves when they had kids

They stopped prioritising themselves & put everything they had into their tiny human

& in return they eventually felt overwhelmed, exhausted, drained

I’ve had people say they don’t recognise their own body, that every aspect of their physique changed & that they’ve completely lost all their fitness

& when you say that to me… I completely understand

I’ve been there (I sometimes still feel there)

You may feel like you’ll never feel energised again, or you’ll never look in the mirror and be happy again

But I promise you - it is possible

You just have to start filling your own cup up too - because you can’t pour everything into your tiny human if you’ve not got a ton to give

You deserve to be happy & healthy & confident

& your child deserves a happy & healthy & confident mum too

& I promise it is possible to be all that while raising a child

If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed & you want to reignite a piece of you again

Just send me a message - whether it’s for a chat with someone who knows exactly how you feel or you want to know how I can help you find your way back to you again ♥️

Just message X

♥️♥️♥️

12 days ago we moved house & it has been HECTIC

Routine completely out the window, everything feels all over the place & food has been quick and on the go while we decorate 🙃

It did make me think that when summer holidays hit & your whole work/childcare/normal day to day is up in the air it can be like

HOW can I make progress???

For me the past two weeks & poor preparation has led to little changes BUT today we’ve planned for the weeks ahead:

1. BE REALISTIC

Is a workout every day & an intricate meal every meal realistic? No? But planning your meals, pre prepping where you can & adding in movement when you get a chance is

2. PREP WHERE YOU CAN

10 minutes of prep can = a whole week of ease. I’m prepping breakfast, snacks & planning my meals for the rest of the week

3. ACCEPT IT’S NEVER GOING TO BE PERFECT

Summer holidays, times of change & busier periods are never going to lead to perfection but trying to do a little bit here & there is always going to lead to more progress than if you did nothing

4. INVOLVE YOUR KIDS

Movement has been sparse the past 2 weeks but i’ve realised a 15 minute walk with Rory will make us both feel 10x better than if we just lock ourselves inside

5. IT WILL GET EASIER

Busier times will calm down & everything will feel a lot easier soon. Be kind to yourself & just keep going ♥️

If anyone needs any guidance or some help through the summer (or wants to plan ahead for September!) just send me a message 🥰

A look into a very gorgeous but incredibly stressful week

House moving, then not house moving, working in person, online, looking after a toddler & doing everything in between 🥴

This week… we go again ♥️

How’s your week been?

After posting a story yesterday on how my luteal phase impacts my training - I thought it’d be good to share a super simple beginners guide as to how your cycle can impact your training & your nutrition

As a woman, our hormones change DAILY 😵‍💫

Every single day you’re fighting a different battle to the day before, you’re constantly in and out of different phases & it can feel like a complete whirlwind trying to find a routine that works for you

Especially when there’s coaches advertising completely different styles of coaching for each different phase (that’s a new workout routine every week!!) & it can just add to the stress 10x more

Instead - I recommend learning as much you can about yourself, your cycle & how it impacts YOU

& THEN adapting accordingly (but preferably sticking to the same plan…)

For me, this means pushing a little bit harder in the first two weeks of my cycle & relaxing slightly with longer rest periods in the last two weeks. Same workouts, same training style, just adapted to me

For you, it could be something completely different

If you’re wanting to understand yourself a bit more & you want a plan that is actually bespoke to YOU, your lifestyle, your goals & your cycle just message me the word CYCLE & we can talk through it all 🩸

Turns out packing up a house to move, looking after a toddler, running a business, sticking to your training plan & trying to eat well doesn’t leave much time to post content

BUT - training is going really well, being super consistent in the gym, almost 2KG down in the past 2.5 weeks 🥰

Training clients at The Rosemary Well is going really well & it feels like such a positive step forward in my business

& over all feel like everything is going really well (even if I am drained by an imminent house move every day 😂)
