Tasha Lankester Coaching

Shifting this mindset is tricky with HA recovery because it is SO ingrained in us and just feels so normal, but actually it’s holding you back

I know it’s tricky but you got this 💖

Your true potential is on the other side of a healthy cycle 🩸💖🩸💖

Please don’t diet on 1200 calories if you do not need to for most people it is not necessary

Yes it’s safe, but only for SOME people

If it causes period loss, extreme food focus, fatigue and other issues of course it is not right for you

If you are unsure of the calories you should be consuming to reach your goals, DM me CALORIES and I can help you out 💖

I made a commitment to myself. I deserved more, my body deserved more, so I did everything I could to make sure I was supporting my body to bring my period back, and it worked 🥹🩸

After years of over training, ignoring feedback that I need rest, underfuelling and ignoring chronic food noise, enough was enough

Here is what I did:
Strength - reduced from 4-5x to 3x a week
Cardio - reduced from 2 runs a week to 1 5-6k only
Food - increased calories from 2000 to 2500 - and I am NO longer going in and out of aggressive deficits to lose weight, that is not what my body needs right now
Sleep - 8 hours per night
Supplements - inositol (PCOS), folate (pre-natal just incase hehe), magnesium, creatine, omega 3
Inner critic - she’s there, she’s a monster, she fries my nervous system, but she does not speak truth and she doesn’t need to run me
Letting go of perfection - if I want to rest an extra day? I will, if I want to skip cardio for a week? I will, if I go over my calories? It doesn’t matter. Have been so disciplined for so long it is now having the adverse effect, and now I need more freedom than I am comfortable with 😅

But it is very enjoyable, it’s amazing to eat more, to feel energised, to reconnect with my intuition

This is ONLY the beginning. I have suffered for a long time from HA - I have lost and gained my period back in the past, it has been a long journey for me - going on 6 years. I also have PCOS so my cycles are irregular which makes it even harder 😅

But every time I have gained my period back in the past I have jumped back into a diet and done myself a disservice. Not this time, this time I am committed, I’ll stay here as long as it takes, for my body to trust me again 💖

HA is SO hard and it’s such a mental challenge, if you are suffering, you are not alone, if you are not ready to accept it yet I hear you, that was me for years, but know everything you are searching for is likely on the other side of a healthy period, it may be uncomfortable for a bit, but I promise you, long term it will be so worth it 💖

I’m going to keep posting about this, as I think more women need to be aware, so if you want to follow my jour

You are welcome :):)
