Abbie 😍📸
I’ve worked with Abs on & off for quite some time, but most recently through a 16-week dieting phase with one special goal to document the hard work — her photoshoot.
But there was of course more to this than just getting lean…
Abbie had done a shoot before, but never truly felt she’d arrived as the most confident version of herself.
So THAT was the goal this time.
But not by running her into the ground to get there or putting her off the experience by going to unnecessary extremes.
I wanted her walking into that room feeling like HER. Powerful, feminine & radiating confidence, her all round absolute best🥹
As ever though, a proper dieting phase requires some compromises and we needed a deficit that did its job, but we NAILED the basics.
No stupidly low calories, endless cardio or ridiculous pre-photoshoot starvation/dehydration measures, only to arrive feeling like sh*te on the day. No ma’am. 😭
And Abbie’s own words said it all.
Her mood, mindset and energy were better than ever. At one point she described herself as feeling euphoric. The weight was dropping, adjustments were made, yet her motivation was HIGHER than ever.
We even had a wee lastminute.com holiday thrown in 😂 Navigated it, stuck to the plan and straight back to business.
By NOT obsessing over her lowest possible weight, she actually achieved her lowest scale weight to date anyway. Who knew eh!
But the biggest win?
Seeing her that day as I played proud fitness maw getting my own BTS snaps!
Nervous at first, but once she got going…
WOW did she understand the assignment. She was SPICY 🌶️
She was glowing differently and I was in total awe. Getting a front-row seat to watch her come alive in front of that camera was pretty fu***ng special.
The pictures speak for themselves — she is a VISION and a far cry from the quiet, hurting, insecure and lost Abbie we no longer know.
Because the woman in those pictures has been built over YEARS, not 16 weeks.
Physically, mentally, professionally and through life as a full-time working mama, I’ve watched her GROW.
These 16 weeks? We just cranked it up a level.
But THAT woman was already being built long before the photoshoot. ❤️
