My story didn’t start here. I’d never struggled with my weight until two back-to-back pregnancies. Gaining 20+ kgs! My heaviest weight after both my boys was 84kgs. Walking rebuilt me first, and not just physically.
I loved being pregnant, but I had no idea how much my body would change, or how long it would take to feel like me again. I walked throughout both of my pregnancy mostly on the beach, no weights.

Mentally rebuilding, it’s a process and consistency is the key here! I kept consistent with the walks my favourite chunk of the day was this morning walk. 5-7km walks.
These walks became our thing. A strong morning routine established, feeling happier, starting to feel stronger each walk. I was in a rhythm. Each km started to feel easier!
