State Of Mind Training

The only person that is holding you back is you!
What if you could take back control.
If you never had to start again on Monday.
What if you could be proud of what you see in the mirror.
Have more energy, better skin, wear that outfit you've been dreaming about.
What if you didn't wait till Monday.
3 months from now you will thank yourself that you stated today!
A better life is on the other side of consistency and effort. You are worth it!

Today I tried, and tried and tried for my PB clean.
I didn't get it.
But I'm not disheartened.
I am pumped.
Before I found fitness I realise i didn't have multiple disappointments, I just had the same one everyday. My body and my mindset.
Now I see having multiple disappointments means I am trying to achieve, I am setting goals, I am always working towards a better body, more strength and a better mindset.
I am proud of my failures now, I can look them in the face and say I will see you again tomorrow! 👍

HARD WORK PAYS OFF.

Girls!
Lifting weights changed my life. Real talk.
You are to strong for a woman.
You don't look feminine anymore.
Men don't like women who look like that.
All s**t strong women hear all the mother f**King time!
Don't ever be told this crap by people who cant, won't, never have put the work in!
The grid is real. The blood, sweat and tears is real. Every counted calorie every missed rep, every torn hand.
Screw anyone who thinks women can't do what men can do.
A body transformation is so much more than vanity, it is empowerment over your entire life.
On good days work it out.
On bad days work it out.
And on the days in between have a cake or two!
You don't get the arse you want by sitting on it let the haters be your motivators.
After all nothing says I wish I could do what you could like a half arsed criticism.
I don't mind living in mans world as long as I get to be a women in it ❤️💪

Just shy of 100lb! 100lb I said goodbye to forever. I said by the end of this month I would take my last 'progress' picture. Not that I am stopping, it's only just beginning! But I think 100lb is a good milestone to say goodbye to my old body forever ❤️
People won't always see how hard you work for every pound.
People won't always be cheering you on.
People won't always believe in you.
F**k people!
The best work you will ever do will be the work you do in silence, just quietly moving in the right direction.
I hated her in the first picture, but I shouldn't have. I should have given her more credit. She had 3 babies under 2 and she was doing the best she could. She was just as fierce as me, just as strong, just as courageous. She was just a little lost.
You can do absolutely anything you set your mind to.
My inbox is always open.

The biggest questions people always ask me. How do you have the time? How do you stay motivated? How do you juggle kids, a house, a job, your relationships and your fitness journey? The truth. I don't always have the time. I'm not always motivated. Sometimes all the plates I spin come crashing down around me. But that's life isn't it. The difference between the me on the left and the me on the right.... Balance. The me on the left fell off the wagon for weeks at a time. The me on the right gets straight back on. The me on the left drowned in excuses, the me on the right uses them as fuel. The me on the left never made myself a priority. The me on the right knows that to be the best mother I can be I must prioritise myself. The me on the left set unachievable goals because I was lost, the me on the right educated myself and set realistic achievable goals. Anyone feeling like me on the left, You've got this ❤️ you can do it, this is a brand new year a new start. My inbox is always open ❤️

I'm doing 6 weeks solid strength and conditioning starting from today I will post my after pictures towards the end of February 💪 summer bodies are made In the winter ❄️👍

When my Life isn't going how I want it to I immediately evaluate what has changed. What Is different? I have lost so much focus recently and when I lose focus in my life my training suffers the most. Although this really affects my mental health in the end I always see it as a blessing because when I fall and get back up I learn alittle more about myself Everytime. I treat it like a new year and set new resolutions. This past month is the longest I haven't consistently trained or took care of myself in over two years. Although some of it comes down to the usual, work, family, motivation. For the most part I realise I give way to much of myself to others. So tonight I have took my training and programs back to day 1 and I am going to be selfish for awhile until I find my feet again, because I can! Not had a good sweat session in awhile so going to start right now 💪

Many great women inspire me but none more so than Tia-clair Toomey. When I watch her the hairs stand up on my neck, I read her book over and over because there's so much to read in-between the lines. I hope to inspire my own daughter the way Tia inspires me. This year I take on my biggest challenge to date running the Cardiff half marathon. I am built for strength training so a half marathon is a massive ask for me. But I've researched, and put a steady plan in place and I'm gonna smash it come what may. It means hanging my lifting Belt up for a while but it's not a goodbye just I will see you again soon when I train for a 175kg PB deadlift after my half marathon. I've fallen down more times than I would like with my training recently but a goal at the far reaches of my capabilities has lit a 🔥 back under me. Watch this space ♥️
