I didn’t need motivation today… I needed space.
I sat at my laptop feeling “off” and couldn’t quite figure out why. Well I knew why ( I’m talking s**t 😂) but I was under the pressure of a deadline
My mind was all foggy… like my brain just wasn’t wanting to play ball.
Fu**er 🔫😂
Right now I’m deep in prep behind the scenes for my second fitness retreat this weekend for And while I’m REALLY excited for it as last year was just amazing, it’s a lot behind the scene, training, food, logistics, people, timing… all of it.
And I could feel myself trying to push through, but getting nowhere.
Ever get that feeling with a deadline?
So instead of forcing it, I did something I didn’t always do when I feel like that before my reset
I put my trainers on.
Put my headphones in.
And went for an 6k run around my new area.
No overthinking. No pressure. Just movement and space.
And everything shifted.😍
I came back clearer. Calmer. More focused.
And I ended up getting another 30 minutes of work done straight after, this time with ease and a little feeling back to “ let’s get this s**t done”
It reminded me again that when your brain feels overwhelmed, the answer isn’t always more pushing, more thinking, or more hours at your laptop.
Even when you think the last thing you need is to step away from work with a deadline… you probably need to.
Sometimes it’s stepping away first so you can come back better.
If this hits home to the times you’ve sat there against it and thought “ I can’t as I’ve got to much on, move” get yourself moving
Don’t skip your PT session, class, gym session or like myself that run
Exercise isn’t just for body composition, it’s an AMAZING tool for mental clarity ❤️

I did…..and that was one of the biggest reasons I did my reset
Sometimes I think so many women have become used to feeling tired, stressed and putting themselves last that they’ve forgotten what feeling good actually feels like.
You’ve got used to needing caffeine just to get through the day.
You’ve got used to avoiding certain clothes because nothing feels quite right anymore.
You’ve got used to promising yourself that next week will be different.
You’ve got used to feeling guilty whenever you take time for yourself.
You’ve got used to putting everyone else’s needs before your own.
You’ve got used to looking in the mirror and focusing on everything you’ve lost instead of everything you’re capable of becoming.
And because it’s been this way for so long, you’ve started to believe it’s just part of getting older or struggling to think how did you do it before life became about everything and everyone
But what if it isn’t?
What if you’re not supposed to feel exhausted all the time?
What if confidence isn’t something lost?
What if energy, strength and feeling comfortable in your own skin are still available to you?
Because here’s what I see all the time…
Women who think they need to accept feeling ‘blah’ is just “ normal” and don’t see how they can change
Women who have spent years looking after everyone else while completely neglecting themselves.
Women who have forgotten that they matter too.
The truth is, you don’t need to become a different person.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to start putting some of that care, effort and attention back into yourself with a plan that has structure and routine
The woman you miss being hasn’t gone.
She’s underneath the stress, the exhaustion, the self-doubt and the years of putting yourself last.
Maybe it’s time to find her again.
Amongst everyone and everything you have going on in your life, there will be a way to find the right balance for you to feel good again ❤️
If you’re reading this and thinking, “That sounds exactly like me,” send me the word RESET.
Let’s start putting you back on your own priority list with 1-2-1 coaching

My 8-week Reset is done ✅
After months of feeling mentally and physically drained, I finally hit the “ I’ve had enough of this s**t” and focused on myself.
Recap to why I needed to do it
• Relationship breakdown (still living together 9 months later)
•House up for sale and a move in May
•Wisdom tooth pain — 6 weeks of constant pain and zero training
•Back and hip issues
•Stress, poor sleep and emotional overload
•Still having to show up every day while owning a gym and supporting members, PT clients and staff
I didn’t feel like myself and I hated what I saw in the mirror. The only person who was going to change that was me.
So I locked myself in for 8 week and f**k me, did I reap the benefits.
✅ Lost 4kg
✅ lost 10cms
✅ Muscle definition
✅ Better mentally
✅ Fell back in love with training
✅ Enjoyed prepping and eating my food
✅ Regained control
✅ Got my confidence back
More importantly, I gained positivity by finally putting myself first when life shows you s**t
4/8 weeks I was still living with my ex, then moving house and often surviving on 3–4 hours sleep a night.
There were plenty of times I could have packed it in, PLENTY. HOWEVER if I kept giving into stressful times. What was I going to achieve? I would have just stood still in the same position of feeling the way I was.
Plus I still lived, I had 3 drinking occasions during this 8 week. I still had my chocolate ( lives were saved, take that away from me and human sacrifices would be made 😂 Peanut butter on the daily. Yes I had to make changes but those changes I did make, I didn’t feel deprived.
A HUGE thank you to
We all know what we need to do, but having someone to answer to every week bloody works.
What’s next?
Two weeks of reverse dieting, then maintenance
Maintenance isn’t the sexy part.
I will still be posting weekly
❤️Happier.
❤️Healthier.
❤️Leaner.
❤️Stronger in my lifts
❤️A business that I proudly own which help others
❤️ A new house that’s all mine
❤️Single girl era focusing on herself
Nothing ever bad comes from locking yourself in, only positives 🫶

Week 7 Check-In
Well, hello maintenance week on the scales… but hello 2cm loss! 🙌
Am I disappointed? Hell no!
I’m actually really happy with this week. I had 3 refeed days, so no, I’m definitely not disappointed that the scales didn’t move 😂
This week was also my third pre-planned social event during my 8-week reset. Yes, I drink. And yes, it’s possible to enjoy yourself without turning it into a drunken free-for-all and still stay on track.
Am I a party girl? You bet 😂
A lot of people mess up by throwing in nights out without any planning. Sorry, but that’s where so many go wrong. I wasn’t about to let a social event f**k me over.
What it actually shows is that you can still enjoy yourself while staying true to your goals. You’re not saying no to life, you’re just being intentional.
Did anyone know I’d pre-tracked my alcohol? Nope! Well, after 3 vodka and Diet Cokes I probably told them all 😂😂
Did I end up a little wavy on the way home? Absolutely. Did I have a bloody brilliant time? Also absolutely! 🍹💃
Did I feel restricted? Noooooooo, not at all.
My steps were done, my food was on point, my workouts were completed, and I actually felt my strength increasing in the gym this week, especially my chin ups 💪
One of the ladies working on the self-checkouts in Aldi stopped me to compliment my legs 😂 I absolutely loved that. Women supporting women and giving genuine compliments is just the best.
Then when I was out, someone complimented my arms too.
All while looking what I would call strong yet feminine 💪❤️
So ladies, if you’re worried that resistance training will make you bulky… it absolutely won’t 😜
Week 8 is already underway, and I can already tell you it’s thrown a few s**tstorms my way. But a huge f**k yes to Week 7.
A week full of self-love, feeling body confident, and being reminded that investing in yourself and making yourself a priority is never a bad thing.
And those random compliments? They were just the cherry on top ❤️

What a wholesome bank holiday weekend 🫶🏼
I’ve had a mixture of everything that I enjoy in life, coffee mornings in my garden before the worlds woken up listening to the birds, my workouts, food prep, a 5-mile walk with some amazing views, socialising, a couple of cheeky drinks with friends, soaking up the sun, spending time with my Bella, popping my cherry on a lawnmower after 42 years 😂, a little shopping, and some much-needed downtime too.
This is what a bank holiday weekend is all about balance, memories, movement, laughter, rest, and enjoying the little things 🤍
This is your reminder that you can enjoy food, drinks, rest, friends, and still prioritise your health and goals 🤍
A little bit of everything for the soul this weekend 🫶🏼
Ready for a new week feeling refreshed, recharged, and grateful 🤍

Week 6 check in ✨
Week 6 stats:
• Loss this week: 0.8kg
• Total loss so far :4.4kg
So… this week was the week of settling into my new house, and I definitely felt it. I ended up feeling run down
I was warned this may happen and yep it sure did 🙄🔫
It was a bit like when you take that Christmas break and your body finally relaxes… hello ulcers, body aches, and just generally feeling a bit crap
It was hard Tuesday through to Friday getting my s**t done, especially feeling the way I did. There was a side of me thinking “just sack off XYZ” but I dunno… it was like my future self gave me a kick up the butt.
While feeling run down, all I wanted was carb and chocolate cuddles… and LOTS of them 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I’ve still obviously eaten carbs and had chocolate every day, but I wanted LARGE quantities 🤣
Yes, sometimes there’s an element of listening to your body… but there are also times where you have to realise you can’t just give in every time you feel s**t.
So I’m glad that kick was given because those few days of feeling run down didn’t stop me from keeping things moving and heading in the right direction.
And then… the biggest SHOCKING win of the week happened…….i got unbroken sleep……ALL WEEK 😳
Honestly, my little babe Bella has slept through the night 🥹🐶
Every single night apart from the first one where she was up once. Honestly, it’s been YEARS since she’s done that with me. She’s slept through for everyone else but her bloody mum ( cheers babe)
What it’s shown me is that she was unsettled because I was unsettled. 🥲
I’m vibing on this thing called unbroken sleep 😂
I’ve also really noticed changes in my body composition through my clothes. I tried a few things on and posted the videos on my stories, these are the screenshots. It’s madness, but I’m here for it because I just didn’t feel overly comfortable in my own skin before this reset. The hard work and discipline is paying off and I get to go shopping. Yes I have a disgusting habit but needs must 😉
And with the final two weeks in front of me, I know it’s the tough days that mould you into someone who keeps themselves in check, let’s go 💪
I nearly believed my own bulls**t 👀
This morning my client Jodie asked if I had a busy day, and I explained that my morning hadn’t gone to plan.
Everything got pushed back and I said:
“It’s looking like my gym session probably won’t get done now because I needed to do it this morning.”
And the scary thing is… for the first time during this 8-week reset, this was the first time I was going to allow myself to slip back into that old mindset of:
“Ah well… it won’t get done today.”
And honestly? It’s SO easy to push ourselves down the priority list.
The things on my to-do list today are important.
They did need doing and today was the day they needed to get done with a couple of them with deadlines
But I was also on that important list
That’s the bit I think so many of us forget.
Before this reset, I got into that habit and convinced myself that looking after myself could wait until everything else was done. I explained why I wanted this reset and this was one of the main reasons
But the problem is… there will ALWAYS be more things to do.
I’m never going to reap the benefits of the habits I’m trying to build if I let the things on that list become more important than Me. None of it is but in that moment you definitely feel like they are
So I called myself out 😂
Something I wouldn’t have done before and I’m glad this was the first hurdle but once you allow that hurdle to dictate to you, you can find many more
Did the food shop.
Dropped it off.
Text Jodie:
“I’m no exception to the rule” and explained i was on my way to get my workout done
Then went to train.
And by 10:30am?
My workout was done.
And on the walk to the gym I actually got some life admin sorted too.
Funny thing is, I’ll probably get the rest of my jobs done BETTER now because I put myself first for an hour.
I’ve got more energy.
A clearer head.
A better mindset.
The moral of the story:
The to-do list matters.
But YOU matter too.
And sometimes putting yourself first is exactly what helps everything else get done better
There always a way to make it work, you’ve just gotta find it
Who’s done a me before and thought the list is more important?
