🥴I haven’t trained in 2 weeks.

🤷I haven’t tracked for a month.

👀I’ve dropped 1lb in 6 weeks.

I don’t even have a gym membership and I’m a PT 😆

Stop putting pressure on yourself to do this right now.

* You don’t have to lose weight every week.

* You are allowed to take breaks from dieting.

* You don’t have to track calories.

Emotional intelligence is something that is necessary to learn (and for me to teach) when it comes to dieting.

Developing emotional intelligence around dieting helps to overcome obstacles and navigate through periods where your goals can no longer be the priority.

👩‍💻When work is hard and hours are long.

🤢The kids are playing up or are unwell.

😢You’re having a hard time with your partner.

Whatever it may be...

Understanding that you don’t have to lose weight every week and getting comfortable with that helps you to not quit and return to the very behaviours and emotions that made you start dieting in the first place.

* The guilt and the shame for having ‘bad’ food.

* Feeling like a failure for not achieving your goals.

* The frustrations of seeing others around you do it.

I’ve been saying this for a long time but life is always the greatest obstacle.

I’m certainly finding that out right now as I have a little one to look after, my body goals have definitely been put on the back burner as we try and sort out his tongue tie, reflux and sleep problems.

Learning these skills and developing emotional intelligence around dieting has removed all of the negative emotions, self talk and anxieties that I would have felt and that are so common for dieters.

We need to stop wasting money on short term solutions that teach us nothing and force us to rely on a product to lose weight.

Instead we need to invest in our health and mental wellbeing and learn the skills to overcome the greatest obstacle, LIFE.

If Carlsberg did coaching calls. Had a great week

If Carlsberg did coaching calls.

Had a great weekly chat with a client on Monday and the emotional growth she has developed during our time together has been awesome.

This weekend she is going to her annual local get together with her besties to catch up, let her hair down, relax and enjoy.

It’s totally gonna be 3 days of drinking over a bank holiday and loads of good food, drink and cocktails will be enjoyed.

She is fully aware that her weight will likely go up over the long weekend but she’s remaining calm.

She has learnt in our time together that short term weight gain is mostly water retention and drops away quickly when you return to the great habits and routines we have formed so far.

She’s not panicking and trying to squeeze out the last little bit of extra weight loss before the weekend by jumping on shakes, super low calories and maxing out on exercise.

She appreciates that as a busy women with a lively social life that we make progress in steps.

When we have the opportunity to work hard we work hard and drop body weight and over time the trend is that we end up at a different settling point lower than the last.

She is fully intending on enjoying this weekend, and though she may come back with a mild hangover…

There will be absolutely no guilt on her part for overindulging and enjoying herself.

She is exactly where I want all of my clients to be from an emotional perspective.

Life is to be enjoyed.

Can you still lose weight whilst enjoying life, removed from the guilt that traditional dieting and exercise programmes can bring?

100%.

Been a couple of weeks since I posted up my weekly

Been a couple of weeks since I posted up my weekly accountability posts.

Super busy with work and trying to fit stuff in around my schedule with Rafe and Anwen, even the weekly shop has become a task to complete in itself.

But I’m still here.

I haven’t tracked for about 3 weeks so calories and macros are 🤷but weight has been pretty consistent at 11.4.

Once work settles down a bit towards the end of next week, I’ll have a bit more time to commit to training again because I have not lifted a sausage for well over a week now.

Anwen was kind enough to book me in for a massage this week on Friday at the spa, much needed relaxation after the last 10 and a half weeks of pure graft but fingers crossed things are starting to settle now.

I’ve not put any pressure on myself to look a certain way before the massage, which is my natural instinct, as ridiculous as it sounds.

It’s the same as the ‘summer body rush’ psychology really but on a shorter scale.

But there’s no point adding to my workload and stress levels now by getting up extra early and hammering in some hard sessions.

Friday is supposed to be restorative and relaxing.

What would be the point in turning up to it broken, and miserable? I’m just putting myself in a deeper hole to be dug out of.

So picking my battles this week.

The first ever STRONGWOMEN group has kicked off really well so far, put a lot of work into this and I’ so pleased to see so many women really committing to the challenge.

Loving life

“Why are you running a free challenge when some

“Why are you running a free challenge when some people are paying you for coaching?”

That’s a fair question I received last week.

But the 10 day challenge isn’t intended to replace long term goal focused support.

It’s just going to get you started.

If by the end of the 10 days, you’re happy and feel good to continue on your own - great. It’s served it’s purpose.

If you think you’d benefit from on-going support, there’ll be a chance work with me in my private coaching service at the end of the challenge.

But you know me. There’s never a hard sell. If you just want to do the free challenge, that’s perfect and you’re very welcome.

Who is it suitable for?

Well, the 10 day challenge is run online. So if you’re tech savvy enough to use a Facebook group, you’re gonna be fine 😂

You’ll need to be able to commit some time per day to:

✅ Check the group for the daily task
✅ Perform the task
✅ Staying accountable in the group and posting your wins

There’s enough space available for anyone that fancies it, but given that we start on Monday, I’m looking for people to let me know now as soon as they can.

I have a few things to get sorted my side and there’s only 3 days left for me to get organised.

If you want to get involved, all you have to do is click the Linktree in my bio.

Been playing catch up on social, been mega busy af

Been playing catch up on social, been mega busy after travelling back to Wales.

Rafe is also going through a sleep regression so the lack of sleep has made me as productive as a 1 armed sloth.

I've forgotten what feeling normal actually feels like by now.

It’s like I’m everyday chasing ‘normal’ and it’s always just out of reach.

Plans change and I’m always on catch up.

Something comes up and I’m chasing my tail trying to fit things in.

I get no sleep and I’m functioning at 63.7%.

But everything I’ve learned about dieting (randomly) can help.

Dieting rarely follows a linear pattern, you’re up and down with it, there will be stumbling blocks and events to overcome.

Rather than aiming for perfect, expecting weight loss every week you need to accept that there may be some. bumps.

There will be events, the weather will be great, you will want to celebrate good times and Christ I encourage you to do so.

Enjoying life is SO much more important than dieting.

But that doesn’t mean that you can’t still achieve what you want.

Chasing ‘normal’ is much more difficult for people like me, I’m super neurotic, I love structure and routine.

I can’t have that in life with a little boy around who blunts my sleep and fragments my work day, those things are out of my control, but I made a promise to myself that I’d always be there for him.

If he wants to kick a ball about with his dad then I’m lacing up the Predators.

If he wants to go fishing on the weekend, I’m stealing worms from Dads wormery.

If he wants to get barrelled surfing then I’m nosediving my way into a barrel with him.

In dieting, much like in life, if you want to be happy and make progress you’ve got to be flexible with your time and energy, take it as it comes, don’t expect it to be perfect, progress may take longer than you want.

Chasing ‘normal’ is not always an option, especially for busy people, but rather than get angry and frustrated you have to adapt.

Things are rarely perfect.

These are principles that I practice and teach all of my clients.

Be fluid maaannn.

Hey, So I got tagged in a nutrition post yesterd

Hey,

So I got tagged in a nutrition post yesterday and ever since a lot of people have been asking me about meal plans…

Here’s the thing.

I don’t do them.

Meal plans are a rigid structure that are very difficult to create and even harder to enjoy in the long term for clients.

My goal as a coach is not to simply give you a rigid structure and tell you what to eat, but to educated, to be a guide to help you find the most effective method for YOU to lose weight.

Most fad diets you will find are rigid and will limit the types of food you can eat, you may have noticed this.

Rigidity often breeds failure as you get bored easily and it makes social events very difficult. Ever been to a sin free or keto wedding?

(If you’re not enjoying your social life because of a diet then you need to find a new diet or personal trainer and quick).

Because the goal of a good coach should be to open up the world of dieting and help you create a more flexible approach to dieting, one that allows you can eat all the foods you like (and drink what you want) and still get to your goals.

Will it be testing?

Will you have to make some changes?

Ye sometimes for sure.

But I can guarantee, if you invest in a good coach that does these things rather than puts you on a rigid meal plan that only has you failing again.

You will find that you will probably save a lot of emotional distress and money in the long term.

To everyone that messaged, thanks for you interest, I’ll reply today and let you know a bit more about my services and if you’re interested we’ll have a chat and see if you’re a good fit for the business.
