Woke up feeling good this morning, since August last year, after one of those āthat was a great summer⦠but my weight definitely crept upā moments š
I refocused and have been working towards feeling better in myself.
I came back from Benidorm, and the bikini in the first photo is the one I wore out there last summer. Put it back on today for a little reality check and comparisonā¦
First photo = July last year.
Second photo = today.
Iāve lost 10kg⦠but honestly, thatās not even the most important part.
What matters is how it happened.
Consistency > perfection. Every time.
This journey hasnāt been linear. Some weeks Iāve lost, some weeks Iāve maintained, and yesāsome weeks Iāve even gained slightly. But over time? It balances out⦠because I didnāt quit.
Iāve still had nights out.
Iāve still had chocolate.
Iāve still had wine
Just not all at once, all the time. Moderation, not restriction.
And hereās the realityāthis didnāt come from doing anything extreme. On average, itās worked out to roughly 0.25ā0.3kg (about 0.5ā0.7lbs) per week. Small, steady, sustainable. Thatās why itās stuck.
Iām not chasing skinny. Iām in my 40s, Iāve still got wobbly bits⦠and thatās okay.
Iām chasing strong. Iām chasing healthy.
And if Iām being really honestāthis hasnāt been a straight road for me over the years. My weight has gone up and down more times than I can count.
Iām now 20kg down from my heaviest, so when I say I get it⦠I really do.
Thatās why when I support my clients with fat loss goals, itās not just theoryāIāve lived it. I understand the struggles, the setbacks, the all-or-nothing mindset⦠and how to actually move past it.
Progress isnāt always obvious week to week, and it definitely doesnāt happen overnight. But if you zoom out and stay consistent, the results do come.
No extremes. No quick fixes. Just showing up, again and again.
And thatās what actually works.
