Circumstances had to led to her gaining weight.

And she wanted to make change to be a better role model for her son.
Since coaching her quality of life has improved, she is now more active with her son.

She has lost weight.
She FEELS more confident and happier in herself.

And I am so proud of her

Stop using the weekends or a meal out as an excuse to ruin your hard work and weekday efforts.

You CAN still enjoy a meal out without ruining your progress.
And if things don’t go to plan, don’t wait until Monday!

Get straight back to your normal routine. There is no need to keep sabotaging your progress further.

I coach women with very busy social lives and they are making progress and losing weight! You could be too with guidance, support and accountability.

Message or Comment the word ‘WEEKEND’ and I’ll reply with help.

Ladies on the challenge are reporting that they are ALREADY feeling the benefits and it’s only been 3 days 😲🙌.

Whilst the goal is to tick off each Habit every day for 5 days. I have encouraged the ladies to try and make small positive changes towards each Habit so they are taking positive action and will FEEL BETTER as a result.

Missed out on this challenge but want to lose weight, improve your health and FEEL BETTER?

Join my next 6 Week Group Coaching starting on 1 August and imagine how you’ll feel at the end of 6 weeks!!!

You CAN still ENJOY MEALS OUT without ruining your progress or how you feel.

You don’t have to take an all or nothing approach or fall head first in the F*ck bucket because you think that eating out = ruins your diet.

Here are my 3 top tips for you to apply (I have lots more!);

1: Plan ahead - look up the menu online and choose a few options that you would be happy to decide between once at the restaurant. If a mainstream restaurant there will be calories displayed. It enables you to make an informed decision.

2: Don’t arrive overly hungry. It will most likely end up with you over compensating and eating more! Have your other meals as usual but perhaps make them smaller and lighter with protein (chicken, fish etc.) and veg/salad.

3: Be prepared to make compromises - Choosing between starter or desert but not both. Enjoying the food you want but sharing or swapping out chips for veg.

And when it comes to ALCOHOL
Enjoy a glass or 2 of something but perhaps not the bottle. No good decisions were made from drinking excessively and your future self probably wont thank you for it.

You’ll feel rubbish the next day, tired, low mood and energy and be less likely to eat the food to support your goal, get out for a walk, exercise etc. meaning your 1 meal out has ‘cost’ you another day.

Want to learn how to enjoy your life with more balance, feel good and benefit your health and goals?

THE SUMMER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A REASON TO GIVE UP ON YOUR GOALS or ruin the progress you’ve made.

☀️Be accepting that you may have a change of routine. And that’s ok, create a new routine even if it changes day to day.

☀️Structure in time for YOU and the things that are important to you.
You may not be able to exercise at your usual time but be open to change and also think about alternatives like home workouts. Something is always better than nothing!

☀️Get the food in! If you want to make healthier choices to support your goal and the way you feel, keep your grocery shop topped up especially if your kids eat you out of house and home!

☀️Plan your day around your meals. Are you in, on a day out, work..? Plan your meals accordingly.

☀️Get the kids involved whatever their age a☺️have some FUN! Get them out and doing active things that are age appropriate and do it with them!

The summer is NOT an excuse to give up on yourself!

I have a new GROUP COACHING starting 1 August! The summer is a great time to start! ☀️☀️☀️

❗️Message me GROUP ❗️and I’ll send you an application form and an early bird offer.

➡️You are a result of what you do MOST of the time and it’s why I love the ‘MIDDLE GROUND’and taking a consistent but imperfect approach.

🤩Being perfect and ‘good’ for some of the time ✅

🤷‍♀️Means on the flip

😏You don’t do things perfect, think you’ve failed so give up, hit the f*ck it button and feel like crap for the rest of the time ❌

Which sets you further away from where you want to be. Compared to being in the ‘middle ground’ MOST of the time.

It doesn’t mean you’re not putting in effort or you are doing less than needed.

On the contrary it means you ARE doing MORE of what’s needed the majority of the time and this is how you get LONG TERM RESULTS 🙌 without being ‘on or off’ with constant set backs.

If you want to achieve your weight loss goals, try living in the ‘middle ground’.

Having the support of a coach like me will increase your rate of success.
I’ll help you get to where you want to be and teach you the tools to stay there.

Message or Comment ‘MIDDLE’ and I’ll send you something to help.

THERE IS NO TRACK, so stop thinking you are either on track or off track cos you are fuelling your all or nothing mentality and it is holding you back from achieving your goals.

The so called ‘track’ is your LIFE. And sometimes life gets in the way.
So instead of giving up and calling it ‘off track’ try doing the best you can in the situation you’re in.

You’ll make more progress doing the best you can, compared to sometimes being ‘on’ or otherwise ‘off’.

Are you guilty of this? You would benefit from coaching.
Message or Comment TRACK and I will reply and let’s chat.

I have been where you are..
Watching and waiting for the scales to go down.

Thinking that when I lose those final few pounds I’ll feel happier..

Doing loads of running & cardio trying to burn as many calories as possible.

Wanting to tone up but not doing what was actually needed.

Compared to now..

✅I have no clue what I weigh.
✅I lift weights and I do cardio for my heart health.
✅I am toned, strong, fit and healthy.
✅I am 54 and in menopause, proving you CAN make positive changes to how you look and feel.

✅I eat more food than ever and I FEEL AWESOME.

Changing my approach has changed my life.
And now I am helping change the lives of other women’s 🫶🙌.

Feeling strong, fit and happy is NOT dependent on what you weigh.

You’ll never look back.
Except to wonder why you put it off for as long as you did.

With my coaching support you will get to where you want to be and be so happy you did.

Message or Comment STRONG and I’ll be in touch so we can get the conversation started.

I LOVE it when clients feel the benefits from taking care of their health.
Whilst weight loss is the goal for many of my clients, to which they ARE making progress towards.

It is ALL the other benefits to how they FEEL that matter the MOST.

If you are only focusing on weight loss, it’s probably not enough to keep you motivated over the long term.

If you are ready to improve the way you FEEL and feel your strongest, healthiest, fittest and HAPPIEST self.

Comment or Message me FEEL and I’ll reply with something to help you.

The things that matter to me and how they help ne feel my best and be a better coach to my clients.

1: Feeling good
yeah I say this a lot but there’s a lot to be said when it comes to how you feel. When you feel good, you’ll likely do more things to continue feeling good.

2: Food freedom
Jeez it’s taken me years to get to this place called ‘balance & moderation.’ The effort to get here was truly worth it and leaving behind an all or nothing mentality & yoyo dieting is free’ing. This is what I help my clients with.

3: Body functionality
What my body enables me to do is frickin awesome. I’m the strongest, fittest & healthiest and yet I’m my oldest self.

And now I help my clients become their strongest, fittest & healthiest selves.

4: Self Care
I respect and care for myself more than ever before. My health and how I feel matters more than ever before. And I help my clients feel their BEST.

5: I practice what I preach
Not perfectly because that is not what I expect of myself or my clients. Imperfect action I.e always doing the best you can in the situation you’re in and never giving up.

If you are ready to feel your best self, message me BEST and I’ll reply.

I help women over 40 to never give up themselves.

To let go of yoyo dieting and finally learn how to lose weight & keep it OFF.

To build strength, fitness, health & HAPPINESS.

To have more ENERGY, a better mood and more zest for life.

That it is possible to FEEL more comfortable in your body and yourself.

You’ll have to put in some effort but the difference this time is you’ll have my support & experience backing you all the way.

The rewards and how FABULOUS you FEEL ON THE INSIDE as well as the OUTSIDE will be 💯 worth it.

Message me privately, simply with word FABULOUS and I will reply so we can get the conversation started.

Trying to lose a few pounds ahead of your holiday…?
Keep reading this is for YOU.

If you’re being ‘strict’ & over restrictive, eating hardly anything, or cutting out carbs or specific foods… you could be setting yourself up to FAIL.

You may get short term results but you know what’s going to happen when you arrive on your holiday…?

You’ll most likely go ‘ALL IN’. Because you’ve taken a restrictive approach in the lead up to your holiday.

Food will be so much MORE appealing because you have denied yourself.

You’ll feel ‘deserving’ cos you’ve been so over restrictive and you won’t be able to eat in moderation.

And you’ll return from holiday with your clothes feeling tight and you, NOT feeling comfortable in your body and thoughts of going on another diet🤦‍♀️.

If you want to break this yoyo diet cycle and FEEL your best no matter the time of year.

Message or Comment the word BEST and I’ll send you something for FREE to help.

When it comes to your WEIGHT LOSS & HEALTH GOALS.

THE SMALL THINGS MATTER

Instead of trying to do EVERYTHING and feeling like a failure when you don’t.

Likely leading to you giving up on yourself for not doing it all and moving you FURTHER away from your goal.

Try thinking about what you HAVE achieved rather than what you didn’t.

Because it is these wins, of which some may feel small and inconsequential that matter.

Because when you put all your small wins together they compound 💥and make a difference. Moving you CLOSER to your goal.

Set realistic expectations, set yourself up to feel accomplished not a failure and reframe your negative self talk and find the positives in your small wins 🙌.

❌Nothing drastic, or over restrictive, nothing punishing or miserable.
😊On the contrary everything my client has done to FEEL her BEST for HOLIDAY has been enjoyable, empowering and SUSTAINABLE.

If you are going round and round a yoyo dieting cycle and never really FEELING good in yourself or your body or the way you FEEL.

I can help just like I am successfully helping many other women.
Comment or Message me the word HOLIDAY and let’s chat about how I can help you 🫶.

Before you skip a meal today, here are some things to think about..

🥙Has skipping a meal become a habit?

🥙Do you tell yourself you aren’t hungry and then suppress your appetite with a coffee?

🥙Do you skip lunch cos you’re ‘busy’?

🥙Are you ‘saving’ calories to have later in the evening when you are usually more hungry?

🥙Do you end up overeating in the evening?

🥙Are you eating less nutritious foods because you skip meals?

🥙Do you skip a meal and then make poor choices later in the day cos ‘I didn’t have lunch so I can have…”

🥙Are you following the intermittent fasting tend, but is it right for you?

If you said yes to any of the above, skipping meals may not be right for you.

You could be in a cycle of OVER RESTRICTION and then OVEREATING.

THIS IS NOT HEALTHY mentally, physically or emotionally.

And it is not helping you to successfully lose weight in a way that is sustainable or enjoyable.

I have something to help you break this cycle. Message me or Comment SKIP and I’ll send it straight to you.

✅Fed up of yoyo dieting, never seeming to get anywhere

🩷I help women over 40 feel empowered to learn the tools to finally lose weight and keep it off without yoyo dieting.
To switch their focus onto FEELING good instead of the scales.
🩷To improve health, strength, fitness and happiness
🩷To feel more comfortable in their bodies and the way they FEEL.

And as a result the women I coach are feeling their feeling their BEST.

MY CLIENT HAS LOST A TOTAL OF 15kg 📉.

That’s 33lbs IN JUST 3 MONTHS.

🤩She is FEELING fitter, healthier and stronger.
🤩Her clothes feel way too big and she is buying smaller sizes.
🤩Her progress pics & measurements represent fat loss.
🤩She is noticing a difference in her daily life.
🤩She can now run & keep up with her son.
🤩She is also feeling so much HAPPIER in herself and her body😍.

These are all fantastic 🙌measures of progress that are NOT based on the scales.

I reassured my client she is making progress and to continue focusing on her ACTIONS 🎯which I set out for her.

And to stay consistent with them (not perfectly).

These actions will get her the outcome she wants.
Worrying about the scales will not. (that’s my job)

If you are focused on the scales and not seeing the weight loss you want, Message or Comment ACTIONS and I will respond with something to help for FREE.

You are an adult and you get to make your own choices.
But you will also need to accept responsibility for the choices you make.

I always reassure my clients that whatever choices they make I will never judge them and I will support them no matter what🫶.

But if you want to LOSE WEIGHT, there will have to be times of compromise and sometimes say..”no thank you”

After all you can’t have it all AND expect to make progress.

Whatever choices you do or don’t make.
OWN THEM❗️
And accept the consequences.

Please don’t complain about the results you didn’t get for the compromises you never made.

If you want to learn how to enjoy the weekends and make progress, Message me or Comment below COMPROMISE and I will send you something to help 😊
