A fantastic workout this morning

A mix of cardio and resistance training using upper body, legs and core

Enjoy the rest of your weekend ladies 😍

I could cook, but I can't be bothered
A full fridge, but nothing to eat
I'm hungry, but I don't know what you I want

Open fridge
Close fridge
Open cupboard
Back to fridge

Waiting for inspiration to hit

Meanwhile you get hungrier, and end up just grabbing anything!

🙋🏼‍♀️If you can relate

Today, just focus on one thing:
👉 How you eat, not what you eat

So often we’re rushing, distracted,
eating on autopilot without really noticing, and before we know it, the plate is empty.

So today, try this:
• Put your fork down between each mouthful
• Pause about 2/3 of the way through and check in — are you actually still hungry?

No pressure. No perfection.

Just a small moment to slow down
and listen to your body 💚

I've posted these myself

But some days, we don't have the energy or the time for 10, 5 or even 3 things

Sometimes, one thing is enough

Tell me, one thing you can do for yourself today

Not hitting your step goal 1–2 days a week is normal.

Especially if you:

• Have a desk job
• Are juggling family life
• Are dealing with poor sleep
• Live in the UK where the weather is… unreliable

The problem isn’t the lower day.

The problem is the story we attach to it.
“I’ve failed.”
“I may as well give up.”
“I’ll start again Monday.”

But progress doesn’t need perfect days.
It requires enough consistent days.

If you aim for 8,000 steps and average 7,800–8,200 across the week… you’re doing brilliantly.

This is what coaching inside The Space looks like.

We zoom out.
We look at trends.
We focus on the majority.
Not the one wobble.

Doors open next Monday.

If you’re ready to stop quitting after imperfect days, this space was created for you.

Save this post for the next time your brain tells you one day ruined everything.

💚 Improving sleep isn’t always about going to bed earlier.
You’re not failing because you didn’t do a perfect wind-down routine.

For women juggling marriage, motherhood, midlife and perimenopause… your brain is usually the problem — not your bedtime.

If your mind won’t switch off, try this instead:

✨ 1. Keep something consistent
Not everything has to be perfect.
But keeping one or two elements the same — your wake-up time or your general bedtime window — gives your body rhythm and predictability.

✨ 2. Empty your head before bed
Don’t rely on “I’ll remember that tomorrow.”
Write the list.
Plan the day.
Get it out of your brain and onto paper.

✨ 3. Be your future self’s friend
Lay out your clothes.
Prep lunch bits.
Sort bags.
Reduce tomorrow’s decisions.
A calmer tomorrow starts with a clearer mind tonight.

Better sleep isn’t about doing more.
It’s about reducing the mental load.
If sleep has been a struggle lately, save this and try one of these tonight 🤍

And tell me — what keeps you awake most often? Overthinking, hormones, or stress?

😃Day 1 plan:

✔ 10k steps
✔ 3L water
✔ high protein
✔ early night
✔ meditation
✔ workout

😞 Day 3 reality:

…tired, annoyed, and questioning all life choices.

Trying to change everything at once isn’t motivation — it’s burnout in activewear.

You don’t fail because you’re “not disciplined enough”.
You quit because the plan was unhinged.

Start with one thing.
One walk. One habit. One small win.

Then build. Slowly. Like a normal human.

💚 Save this for your next “right, I’m doing EVERYTHING” moment 😅
