And that’s a wrap!
6 1/2 years of full-time classes and personal training, slowly tapering into part-time work and ending after 2 1/2 years of aqua fit.
It was the perfect stepping stone from the Royal Air Force into my civilian life and I have loved training, laughing and hopefully inspiring my clients.
Fitness is very simple. Be balanced in what you eat and drink and move. Fads don’t work and you should move daily. It can often help your mental health and can even at times defy aging…
Don’t pay a lot of money for it, don’t reach for the quick fixes - they will only work for so long.
I’m shutting down this page but if you’d like to see our Abu Dhabi adventures give me a follow;
Lastly to all who have trusted in me, thank you! It’s been a great run! Keep moving ❤️‍🔥

This weekend I was supposed to run 100km at Race to the Stones. I completed it two years ago feeling disappointed in my time which basically came down to a lack of running.
Back in May, I damaged my MCL. The solution is to rest. A normal day consists of over 20000 steps, I hate sitting still and I love being active. In the early stages I wasn’t even able to walk Eugene or take the boys to school. I am gutted to not be able to run but had a great walk and picnic instead with the boys before the tennis.
It is having a very negative effect on my mental health.
Combine this with disappointing “big picture” life news and on goes 5kg… A mixture of emotional eating and drinking. Also not adjusting calories where I was moving less.
I’m 2 months in and I am walking and cycling again. I can do the aqua fit class (with less gusto) in the water and I have lost 3kg through mindful eating and drinking.
Recovering from an injury is hard. I am not a very patient person but I will get there and will come back stronger and faster… In the meantime at least I have Novak and Carlos to show me how it’s done.
It’s all about mindset. Finding it can be hard when you feel so lost but it’s not impossible. 💥🖤

I have super talented clients who just so happen to be absolutely lovely with it! 🌺
I was treated to a gorgeous and very local bouquet of flowers from the very lovely Sarah .
Not only did she arrange this stunning little number but she sourced and grew everything.
Give Sarah a follow and if you’re in or nearby why not treat yourself. 🌷 🌺 🌱

Aqua fit is back on tonight and I can’t wait to see you all.

My turquoise penguin email isn’t working and now to top it off I cannot respond to DM’s on here… I can receive them thankfully.

I will try and sort everything out after tonight’s class…

Thank you for being super patient 😬❤️

💥No Aqua Fit 💥
Wed 07 Feb, Thurs 08 Feb and Fri 09 Feb.
For those of you booked on please have a look in your junk/ spam if you haven’t received an email from me.
I’m afraid that I’m still not well enough to take the classes.
The joy of BPPV… Very sudden and scary.
Sorry to cancel, AGAIN. It’s not my style but hopefully the air pump will get fixed and I will have some extra time to recover fully before our next session on the 13th.

I have loved Christmas a little too much and was reminded of this when my button actually popped off my coat on the way to school… 🤣🤣
Life 1, Self esteem 0

I’m late to the party but Happy New Year!
We’ve had such a full on but happy and wonderful Christmas and NYE.
Feeling super blessed to have such amazing family and friends but definitely not feeling as healthy as usual.
2024 for me, sees the return of ultra running, my headhunting role now a permanent 4-day/week job but still PT sessions with one of my faves and the return of Aqua Fit next week.
My advice to anyone desperate to make 2024 your year of feeling healthy and fit; “Don’t set yourself up for failure.”
Start with small achievable goals (SMART goals) and as you start to smash the small goals, slowly build them up. Your brain will love the feeling of achievement.
And remember that this is not just about running or any cardio and / or lifting weights. If you’re smashing in the alcohol and processed foods and not breaking habits you will limit your potential.
Here’s to a great, happy and healthy year. ❤️

What an incredible day in the Brecon Beacons.
From walking at 3 1/2, to finding the 10 minute walk to school tricky, Oscar yesterday took on his first big hill determine to “beat the mountain.” (In his own words)! ♥️
Minimal moaning and lots of smiles I loved doing challenge 1/40 with the boys.
started yesterday and I have 2 years to complete it! I’m finalising the list and I can’t wait to share the next 19 challenges with you soon.. 🖤

Back to my therapist… exercise!
I haven’t done anything since early August and I feel so rested but equally ready to start feeling strong and fit again (and lose the extra kgs of French rosé and pastries)!
I cannot stand my tummy but it’s mine and it helped house two incredible little people.
So here’s my return, in my happy place in the sun! ☀️
Have a great, happy week 🖤

Rest.
I feel so lucky to have recharged with these 3 in the gorgeous Ardèche region in France. Every day sunny and temps reaching from mid 30s-mid 40s!
The boys never moaned once about the heat and we were camping! The sound of the cicadas in the evening, I will miss.
I didn’t work out once, my phone was on flight mode. No TV or iPad. I played, swam, played lots of uno and read books and it was perfect.
A gentle start back this week but I’m ready and looking forward to it. 🖤
