There’s no such thing as overnight success.
It’s built on small, consistent shifts — tiny movements in the direction you want to go.

And that movement? It’s rarely linear.
It zig zags. Two steps forward, one step back.
Still progress. Still forward.

It looks like going to bed early because you’re shattered — instead of partying, again.
It looks like choosing a rest day over forcing a session — because recovery is part of the process.
It looks like saying no to back-to-back meetings so you can actually eat lunch before 3pm.
It looks like swapping a sit-down coffee for a walk with a friend (yep, still with coffee 😉).
It looks like lifting heavier than last week, even when you weren’t sure you could.
It looks like not quitting — just because it’s moving slower than you hoped.

And sometimes, progress looks like this:
The scales haven’t moved. But your jeans fit better.
You’re sleeping more deeply. And you feel a bit more like yourself again.

That’s progress.
Quiet. Real. Cumulative.
The kind of change you don’t crash from.
The kind of sustainable change you can build a life on.

A simple phrase, but one I’ve come back to a lot over the years.

I first read it in Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert — a book about creativity, yes, but also about just getting on with things rather than waiting to feel ready or perfect.

It’s a message I think a lot of women need to hear — especially when it comes to their training 💪🏽😅.

We often wait until the “right time,” or want to feel totally prepared. We think if it doesn’t look polished or structured, it doesn’t count.

But perfectionism gets in the way of consistency. And without consistency, there’s no progress.

Some training sessions will feel off. Some will be short. Some will be a bit scrappy.
They still count.
What matters is that you keep showing up.

Ps. And most of the time no one’s watching you. Most people are too busy thinking about themselves.

Just get it done. I think some big brand mentioned something about 😝

So what does work?!
🛑 THE UNGLAMOROUS TRUTH: How to Actually Lose Fat + Build Muscle
No detox teas. No fads. Just what actually works 👇

1️⃣ EAT MORE PROTEIN
Start with 1g per kg of bodyweight — this is just enough to avoid deficiency.
If you’re training or trying to lose fat, you’ll likely need 1.5–2g/kg to maintain or build muscle.
Fall short? Your body will start breaking down muscle to make up the shortfall.
(Yes — it will literally cannibalise itself to survive.)

👉 Plant-based? You’ll likely need to supplement. Most plant proteins are lower in leucine and higher in calories, so you need more volume to hit your target.

2️⃣ STRENGTH TRAIN
Lifting weights doesn’t just ‘tone’ — it builds lean mass, boosts metabolism, and protects joints + hormones among other amazing things!
✅ 2–3x/week is a great start. Focus on getting stronger and everything else falls into place.

3️⃣ WALK MORE
Walking is underrated.
It supports fat metabolism, balances blood sugar and if you do enough can create a calorie deficit.
🎯 Aim for 8–10k steps/day, consistently.

Repetitive. Proven. Sometimes boring 😑
✅ Protein
✅ Weights
✅ Steps
Repeat. Forever. It’s simple but it’s not easy. Need help? Reach out to me.

PS: If you’re on a GLP-1 med (like Ozempic or Mounjaro), these 3 habits are even more important to preserve muscle + support long-term success……

YES this! 😃🙌❤️

I’ve been training consistently for 15 plus years. However I do not find it easy. There is still at least 1 day a week when I don’t want to do it. I feel annoyed that I have to go. I battle with my brain.

How do I get myself to go when I don’t want to? How do I get it done (done is better than good!!!)

I ‘trick’ myself into doing it. 😂

Here are some strategies that I use that still work.

⏰I say to myself, train for 10 mins, warm up then see how I feel. Once I am there for 10 mins…I start to feel better.

🏋️‍♀️ I remind myself that the best sessions I have ever had have often been when I have really NOT wanted to go. Go figure.

I tell myself that I have never once regretted a session.

I book a PT to meet me, therefore if I don’t go I lose money, or I meet a reliable friend thanks 😃🙌❤️. YES I am a PT, but all PTs should have their own PTs. Having someone meet me, that I enjoy the company of is half the battle. It gets me to show up for myself.

📄 Also one other hack 😂. If you start working in the health and fitness space, that in itself holds you accountable. You need to set an example and you have a responsibility. One left field suggestion is, if you are really struggling with consistency, and it is consuming your life, perhaps consider getting a certification in whatever it is you are struggling with! The greatest teachers in the health and fitness space, are NOT the ones that find it easy. They are the ones that have fought and struggled with their own mind and body. Think about it. 🤔

Walking. Need a solution to a problem? Walk. In a bad mood? Walk. Still in a bad mood? Walk again! Walking is therapy.

Walking is also one of those beautiful activities that we do happen to do, between other more seemingly ‘important’ activities. And those steps ‘here and there’ certainly add up.

When I moved to London in 2004/5 I was stunned at how much walking I had to do each day travelling to work on the underground.

An interesting side note…when I moved it was post 9/11. Women had in large stopped wearing heels on public transport 👠 . Being mobile in trainers felt necessary. Women were becoming more mobile both literally and figuratively.

Women would pair their suits with trainers. Fashion shifts like this at the time felt important. Post the London bombings on 7th July 2005, this ‘trend’ doubled down.

But I digress…where was I?! 🤔. Oh yes, walking.

Now, I am a huge advocate for working from home, but I do believe that journey to work and home again has benefits.

For one, people just walked more. We must now deliberately replace what we once did incidentally. We tricked ourselves into ‘exercise’! 😂. We could far easily get our 10,000* steps a day.

*FYI there really is no scientific basis behind the 10,000 steps rule. However I will say, anecdotally, in defence of the 10,000 plus steps a day, it does seem to make everything else…easier.

So when we are working from home, how do factor in those lost steps? Deliberately. If you can, walk around the block for 15 mins before you start log in. If you drop the kids off at school, can you extend that journey on foot by 10 mins? Get out at lunch and buy a coffee. Leave your desk and get away from a screen. At weekends factor in errands and walk there. I’m a fan of making up errands 😂.

The key to this is don’t have 0 days. Don’t have days when don’t really walk at all. You will feel restless and more stressed on those days.

What about bad weather? Get yourself a good coat and get on with it (see me walking in the storm yesterday ☔️🙈)

Happy New Year to you all ❤️

For those of you wanting to upgrade your health and fitness this year, my advise would be to start with these 4 things. The fundamentals.

These make THE MOST POSITIVE DIFFERENCE in women’s lives. It’s not an exhaustive list, but let’s start simple!

1. Weight training
2. Eating more protein
3. Getting 8 hours sleep
4. Walk everyday and never have zero steps days.

Let’s start with protein as it’s something that you can do today.

PROTEIN: 📣 Most women need to add protein to their diet. There, I’ve said it 😂. Aim to eat protein at every meal. If you still want your cereal, fine, but add a few eggs on the side. Don’t know whether you are eating enough, track it in ‘my fitness pal’ app. Protein is not a ‘nice to have’. It’s a necessity for your body AND your mental health.

WHY? The science part! 🧬
• Essential for growth, building and repair of body tissue
• Production of: Enzymes, Hormones, Antibodies
• A part of every living cell membrane
• It makes up our tissue, muscles, tendons
• Can be used as energy, although it’s not a primary source

How does that translate into real benefits? Eating adequate protein can reduce sugar cravings, mood swings. It can manage appetite, manage energy and it can help with muscle development.
How? Most women can do with ADDING 1x additional protein source each day (size: the equivalent of 1 additional salmon fillet each day).

Adding lean animal protein is the most efficient way to get enough protein. Adding a diverse range of plant protein can also work, but it is harder and you need to make more conscious effort – as you just have to monitor that it is providing you with enough quality protein, and not mostly carbohydrates and fat.

What is my opinion on protein powder? Hmmm. There is A LOT of crap on the market. Personally, I think our bodies do better when eating our calories as opposed to drinking our calories. Many shakes are so full of sugar that it leaves you craving more sugar. Do your homework, read the ingredients. If it has more than 5 ingredients that you dont recognise, typically that’s a sign to stay clear! 🇬🇧
