Evolve With Chelsea

People are always disappointed when I tell them how I lost 10kg.

And let me tell you For years, my weight went up and down, up and down.

Because I was obsessed with the outcome.

How much weight have I lost?

Why isn’t the scale moving faster?

Am I making progress quickly enough?

The thing that finally changed wasn’t what I was doing.

It was what I was focusing on.

I stopped making weight loss the goal.

And I started making ticking off my daily habits the goal.

Instead of asking myself:

❌ How much weight have I lost this week?

I started asking myself:

✅ What made me go over my calories today?

✅ What could I do to make hitting my protein easier?

✅ What routine would help me consistently hit my step target?

✅ What days and times am I realistically going to train this week?

Because without those habits, I was never going to lose the weight anyway.

The scales were the outcome.

My habits were what created the outcome.

If you’re tired of your weight going up and down and you’d like some help creating the habits that actually get results, send me a DM 💙

Day 27/100

I know your first thought is that the biggest difference between these two videos is my body shape

But honestly?

The biggest change I experienced from working on myself is something no one can see.

Back then, I was going to the gym out of guilt.

Guilt for getting completely fu**ed up every weekend.

And if I’m being honest, I was getting fu**ed up every weekend because my confidence, self-worth and self-belief were as low as they could possibly be.

I was stuck in a place where I never felt like I could change.

I never truly believed I could make something of myself.

And I had this constant fear that I was going to be stuck feeling and acting the way I was forever.

Ultimately, I didn’t trust myself to do the things I said I would.

And that meant I was caught in a negative cycle of constantly letting myself down.

Over the last 6 years, I’ve slowly changed that.

because I started showing up for myself day by day.

I started keeping the promises I made to myself.

I started changing the habits outside of the gym week on week.

And little by little, I started building confidence, self-belief and trust in myself.

So when I look at these two videos, the biggest difference isn’t the weight loss.

It isn’t the pull-ups.

It isn’t the physical transformation.

It’s the person behind them.

And to me that’s the most important transformation 🩷

You’ll never get good at doing things when you’re DEMOTIVATED unless you practise doing things when you’re DEMOTIVATED.

This week, when you don’t feel like going for a walk, going to the gym, meal prepping your food, hitting your protein target, or doing whatever it is you know you should be doing...

I hope you hear my Aussie voice in your head saying:

“Chelsea said this is fu***ng practice.”

And if you’re someone who struggles to do those things on your own, that’s exactly why I created GYST.

For 21 days, we focus on only 4 key habits:

calories, protein, steps and water

and practise getting consistent at them every single day!

But you have accountability and support to make sure you actually bloody show up and do it!!

We start 22nd June.

This is what being consistent vs inconsistent actually looks like 👇

Most women think consistency means being perfect.

Never missing a workout.
Never eating off plan.
Never having a bad week.

But that’s not consistency.

In my eyes, consistency means showing up for yourself more often than you don’t.

You miss a workout but get back in the gym the next day? Consistent.

You have a weekend where things aren’t ideal but you get back to your normal routine? Consistent.

You have a rough week but keep going? Consistent.

So before you label yourself as inconsistent, ask yourself this:

Am I showing up for myself more often than I’m not?

And if the answer is no, that’s exactly why I created GYST.

21 days of showing you how to create routine and structure that allows you to show up for yourself more times than not so you stop falling off track all the bloody time!

If you know what to do but just aren’t doing it

Round 3 starts 22 June 💙

Day 25/100

One thing that drives me absolutely fu***ng mad as a fat loss coach...

Is when someone spends years falling on and off track, years yo-yo dieting, years saying they’ll start on Monday, years struggling to stay consistent...

And then decides what they’re doing isn’t working after a couple of weeks.

What?

You’ve literally spent 2,3,5,10 20+ years creating the habits, behaviours and patterns that are keeping you stuck.

So why are you expecting all of that to change in a matter of weeks?

The problem isn’t that what you’re doing isn’t working.

The problem is you’ve given it nowhere near enough time to work.

Results in terms of fat loss, mindset, habits, consistency, confidence, self-belief... none of it happens overnight.

A lot of it comes down to doing the boring s**t over and over and over again.

Long after the excitement has worn off.

Long after the motivation has disappeared.

Long after you’re seeing instant results.

So before you convince yourself that your calorie deficit, workout plan, morning routine or whatever else you’re working on isn’t working...

Ask yourself this:

Have I actually given it enough time to work?

Or am I expecting years of inconsistency to be undone in a matter of weeks?

Day 22/100

You get offended because you know it’s true.

Something I’ve realised is that one of the most valuable skills I’ve developed as a coach is being able to take the emotion out of things for my poor ole.

When I tell someone to fix their s**tty posture, or that the reason they don’t like an exercise is because they’re s**t at it, there’s no judgement attached to it.

It’s just a fact.

The problem is that most people don’t hear the fact.

They hear the fiction.

“Your posture needs work” becomes “I’m not good enough.”

“You’re struggling with this exercise” becomes “I’m terrible at fitness.”

“You’ve been inconsistent recently” becomes “I never stick to anything.”

And that’s where people get stuck.

Not because of the facts.

Because of the story they’ve attached to them.

One of the biggest things I’ve been working on myself is separating my performance from my self-worth.

Because just because something is true doesn’t mean it has to mean something about you.

Maybe the goal isn’t to avoid uncomfortable truths.

Maybe it’s to get better at seeing them for what they are:

Facts, not fiction.

Day 23/100

STOP MAKING EVERYTHING SO FU***NG PERSONAL.

You miss a workout and suddenly you’re “inconsistent.”

You go over your calories and suddenly you’ve “ruined the week.”

You skip your morning walk and suddenly you’ve “fallen off track.”

What if none of it actually meant anything about you?

One of the biggest things I’ve learned over the years is to stop turning every action into a judgement of my character.

Today I decided not to go to the gym even tho get I fu***ng told eveyone on here that I was.

Old me would’ve felt guilty.

Old me would’ve convinced herself she’d failed.

Instead, I looked at the facts.

I’ve still trained consistently this week.

I’ve still moved my body.

I’ve still shown up for myself.

And more importantly, I learned something.

Trying to get a gym session done at 5pm on a Saturday is just fu***ng stupid.

Like I knew that I wouldn’t feel like it so why did I say I would go?

That’s not a discipline problem.

It’s a planning problem.

Everything is data.

Stop judging yourself.

Start learning from yourself.

Day 22/100

One thing I wish more women would do for themselves:

Be proud of themselves.

And I don’t mean when they’ve lost the weight.

Or when they’ve reached the goal.

Or when they’ve finally got their s**t together.

I mean now.

I think one of the biggest reasons women struggle with self-belief is because they never acknowledge evidence that they’re growing.

They focus on what they haven’t done.

How far they’ve still got to go.

What they need to improve.

But self-belief isn’t built by constantly looking at what’s missing.

It’s built by recognising the promises you’ve kept to yourself.

The challenges you’ve overcome.

The ways you’ve grown.

The workout you nearly skipped but did anyway.

The boundary you finally set.

The habit you’ve stuck to.

The way you’ve handled a situation differently than you would’ve a year ago.

Those things matter.

So here’s your reminder:

Stop waiting until you’ve achieved more before you’re allowed to feel proud of yourself.

So go ahead and tell me What’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for right now? ❤️
