🌟🎉 Happy New Year and here’s to 2026 🎉🌟
Just a little message from me, as this new year begins…
You will start to see all the big goals planned, and ‘before and after’ photos, ‘new year new me’ agendas, trying to entice you in, with the quick fixes, and how to lose 2 stone in a day with some silly teas or shakes, or extreme and unrealistic fitness regimes promising the world, and how to get a 6 pack in a week… these do NOT work long term, and you will be miserable trying!! They also in-still guilt and shame over how you may have ‘over indulged’ over the festive period, and this is not healthy mentally 😓
So firstly, please do not be sat there right now feeling any guilt or shame over enjoying the festivities with what you are now seeing on most social media…
Those 3-4 weeks of festive fun and cheer, no matter how you spent them - believe me when I say it’s how you spend the other 48+ weeks out of the year that truly matter, especially when it comes to your overall health, fitness and daily habits 💜
Please remember a few things as we start this new month, and year, and the first is to be kind to yourself… ease yourself in gently if needed into 2026, and if you want to, make small changes that are manageable 🙏🏻 you can also go hard and “lock in” if that’s your preference too, but for most it’s not realistic sustainable long term.
Commit to one positive change - and ultimately it needs to be something you will enjoy too. Join a weekly fitness class to start with, commit to one Pt session each week, lift those weights ladies, increase your overall steps slowly, drink more water, do some self care, focus on more protein and fibre each day, start looking at the calories in the foods you eat… just pick one or two things and don’t overwhelm yourself from the start!
Remember, life is hard at times and so when you feel stressed or anxious, we can easily turn to food more for that feel good fix, but it’s short lived sadly… so learning a new way of coping, and creating new habits over time will be the best thing you can do this year for yourself! 🌟
Make 2026 the year you also work on self love and acceptance, the year you talk kinder to yourself and treat yourself with more appreciation of what you have achieved, rather than what you haven’t 💜
Make 2026 a year that doesn’t revolve around a number on some scales to give you self worth, but instead how healthy you feel mentally and physically… make it a year you work on making time for yourself, doing exercise to feel good, and not just to burn calories, plus eating in moderation and not restriction - take the time for yourself, and do more self care 💜
Ditch the scales if needed, and go off how your clothes fit and feel, take photos, and do measurements instead… base everything on how you feel mentally and physically - because there is no magic number that will make you feel happier year on year, if you keep adding too much pressure and guilt on yourself.
So no matter what your goal is this year, you CAN do this, with my help if needed, and I’m with you all the way to support and cheer you on 💪🏻😍🙌🏻🎉
Please try allowing yourself to feel happy in your body, no matter what your current shape or size… you can love your body but also be allowed to want to make positive changes too.
Try and enjoying the journey to a healthier version of yourself, and it will make you happier overall too… it’s a process, and it’s a life long one, so just give yourself the time needed to get there, and to create new sustainable habits.
This is a lifestyle change, so be patient and consistent, and I promise the results will come 💜
