Malta 🇲🇹

First time away on holiday on our own since we’ve had Rayna.

We did feel a wee bit guilty leaving her, but turns out being able to do what you want, when you want, is actually quite enjoyable from time to time.

Malta’s an amazing wee place and definitely somewhere we’ll visit again.

Perfect balance of chilling in the sun and exploring like wee tourists.

This might upset a few self-proclaimed busy bees out there.
 But no one works harder at looking busy than the fitness industry. 🐝

You’ve seen the classic Insta story flex.
 Blurry car park selfie. 🤳🏻  6 a.m. timestamp. ⏰
 Then a caption listing every little minor task disguised as “self-care”, “personal development” or “grind”.

In trying so hard to look productive, the fitness industry has mistaken being busy for being better.

It’s easy to fill your day up, but if people actually made the effort with all the nutrition, training, self care and personal development tasks they claim to have done by ticking a box ✅

They would be looking, acting and performing very differently. 🤥

What does that mean for you?
 Results don’t come from ticking boxes.
 They come from standards. ⭐️

It’s not about doing more things.
 It’s about doing the right things better. 💡

Most of you chasing progress aren’t lazy.
 In fact, you’re probably doing too much. 🫠
 But it’s because you’re filling your schedule to distract yourself from the fact you’re not actually getting results. 🫣
 Always chasing the next “fix.” 💊

You’ve “tried everything,” right?
 Classes. Cardio. Calorie tracking. Steps. Gym. Ice baths. Running. “Eating clean.” 📋

Now don’t confuse being better and raising your standards as being perfect.
 Some days or even weeks, box-ticking is all you’ll manage and that’s fine. ☑️
 Life happens. Work stress, family dramas, illness and sleepless nights with the kids. 👧🏼
 On those days, doing the minimum keeps you consistent and keeps momentum alive.

But if every day is minimal effort... that’s why you’re stuck. 😖
 Going through the motions.
 Letting yourself off the hook.
 Maybe I should try something else. 😤

I’ve been there too. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Feeling frustrated, resentful and “working hard” but not really moving forward.
 Truthfully? I got complacent and all that hard work I thought I was doing was half arsed. 💩

So as you come to the end of another “busy” week, ask yourself:
 Have I just been ticking boxes to look busy and ease my conscience?
 Or actually raising my standards and giving more to the things that really matter? 🎤

Chester Marathon

3:12:39 ✅

Quite simply buzzing with how things went on Sunday.

Proud of the time but also the effort I’ve put in over the last 16 weeks prepping for it.

I had the worst cramp ever after it so spent around 30 mins rolling about the ground trying to get back to my feet. 😂

By the time I had the energy to get up and leave I didn’t even think of posing for a nice picture, so here’s me with ma wee medal in our gaff for the weekend in Chester.

Had a great weekend away and was amazing getting to celebrate with Kirsteen afterwards.

Not sure whats next, but it’s getting a bit cold and wet to be running outside for me so maybe another crack at hyrox.

It feels really good.

That’s why it lures you into a false sense of security every time.

Those famous words… 
“Back on it Monday.”

The idea of starting over gives you a big dopamine hit. 🤩

Your brain loves fresh start and this feels like a clean slate, giving you the illusion of control. 🧠

So you tell yourself… 
“It’s fine, I’ll restart properly Monday/after the holiday/once schools go back etc.”

And that thought eases your guilt.  
It justifies your recent poor choices.  
It lets you hit the f**k it button until Monday finally rolls around. 🚨

But here’s the thing… 
This isn’t your first rodeo, is it? 🤠

You’ve had enough “back on it Mondays” to know deep down… 
It’s just an illusion. 🪄

Because the high of a fresh start fades fast when real life shows up.

Work. Family. Stress. 😫 
Suddenly it feels like history repeating.

➡️ One “bad” day ➡️ “I’ve blown it” ➡️ Quit ➡️ Promise to restart later

To completely break free from this cycle you need live like there isn’t anything to get on or off in the first place. 🚌
 That doesn’t mean you need to be perfect.

It’s about raising your baseline and simply living better. 📈
 So even when life gets messy (because it will), you don’t go to zero. 📉
 You simply do something, the version of healthy that matches the season you’re in.💡

Some weeks, that’s structured training, meal prep, and hitting your targets. ✅  
Other weeks, it’s walking the dog, grabbing some protein at lunch, and getting to bed on time. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Both count. Both keep you moving forward.

Because when fitness is part of your identity, you stop relying on motivation or Monday promises. 
You stop swinging between extremes.  
You just keep showing up, in ways that fit your life right now.

That’s where the real progress happens.
