None of these are recent pics… the right is maybe a year ago and the left is about 4… the second pic is me at my lowest point in life. It’s not something I often speak about…. And not many know the journey I’ve been on to get where I am right now. Since becoming well again, each year I actively gain and cut weight and my body continuously changes… I’ve never given myself enough time to fully accept my body for how it is. This year I’m doing things a little different and I’m holding my accountable for this. This year I’m focusing on feeling strong and healthy and enjoying my life for what it is. It’s only taken me 30 something years to finally accept my body doesn’t define me and taking up a little more space is actually a good thing. This year I focus on being happy and healthy and not the number on the scale. This wasn’t my plan at the beginning of the year, but I’ve realised I enjoy being strong too much to change that right now and I kinda enjoy being a little thicc 🙊 Thankfully i have some very special people that have got me through my darkest of days. 🙏 Long story… but I want people to see growth isn’t only physical, its mental too. It just takes a little while for us to realise what is important in life and to learn to live again. 💕

This lovely lady asked me at the beginning of last week if I could take part in a 5k charity run, as her friends had to drop out last minute.
It had been a while since I’d put on my running shoes. 🙊
But here we are !!
She absolutely smashed it. 🥰💕👏 ###

So today I improvised...

I would normally be in the gym hammering my legs...
I had no idea really how I could make a decent session out of the equipment I have at home...

A bar, a couple dumbbells and a few resistance bands...
along with a couple of other little pieces...

Anyway... I decided to just go with the flow and see what I could make up... turned out to be quite a little leg sesh 💪🙌😅

I used bands tied to my banister so I could do some banded stiff legged deadlifts and some kick backs... I used the end of bed to do single leg glute Bridges... the side of the bath so I was steady enough to do split squats... these are just a few of the things I did today...

Moral of the story... use what you have.
it’s not ideal... but scrape together what you can and make use of the space you have around you...

I didn’t film today but over the coming weeks I will be filming to hopefully give you guys a a few ideas on how to keep training at home!!

stay positive and focused 🙏💪💓 x

When suddenly everything you take for granted in life is switched up In such a short space of time... and you’ve no choice but to adjust ... it will take a bit of getting used too but that’s ok.

It would be easy to crumble and let yourself feel defeated...
or you can find a new focus a new short term goal... something you can push towards to keep you mentally and physically challenged...

I’m going to be a bit more present on social media over the next few weeks to give you guys a few ideas on how to stay focused..

I’ve spoken to my clients about getting home work outs put in place ... 🙌 which are currently pending... 💓
I’m just adjusting my own little life a bit right now
(apparently I’m a teacher too now 🙊😅)

We can all do this... we just need to stay positive and not let the s**t times drag us down !! 💕

If you need anything drop me a message!!

Keep smiling guys... it will end 🙏💕

Some weeks will be rough... there will be times where you barely make it through the week let alone do the 100 other things you planned or wanted to do...
sometimes training or eating well will be the last thing on your mind... and that’s ok we’re only human ...
These weeks happen... give yourself a break... and remind yourself why you started.
Dropping the towel because life gets in the way is all too easy...
brush yourself off ... fix your crown and keep going !!!
Life is about balance....
Not every week will be perfect.
