The Boy is 12 today 🎂💙 He WhatsApp’d me this morning to say he was off to the beach for the day 😆

When he was around 18 months/2 yo I was watching him play & suddenly realised that I absolutely…desperately…wanted to be around as long as possible

To watch him grow up into the beautiful young man I could already see he was going to be

I also knew that wasn’t going to happen if I didn’t make some changes to my lifestyle at that time

I didn’t exercise

I either didn’t eat enough or when I did it was cr

Too much 🍷

Too little sleep 💤

My mental health was shot 🫠

I told myself a story that I was far too busy with work that I couldn’t possibly dedicate any time to my own health 😢

I wasn’t one of my own top priorities

Little did I know then that peri-menopause was giving me a proper beating

Ya know, it’s not selfish to prioritise your own health & wellness in & amongst everything else you do for others

It’s not selfish to be in the best shape you can be - physically & mentally

Your family & friends will be your biggest cheerleaders I promise 🥳

Because, guess what, they also want you around for as long as you possibly can be 💕

Trust me 😘

I honestly want for you to all feel your most confident selves 💗 (and not just on your holiday)

Not for the size of your clothes
Not for the number on the scales
And NOT for how you think you look to others

❤️ YOUr physical health
❤️ YOUr mental health

None of these can be measured by numbers, they can only be measured by how much better and more positive you feel, how much happier you are and how much more confidence you can regain 🥰

Session 6/12 and this comment 💗 “This is going to be a life-changer for me. Well, it already is”

Sharing with my incredible client’s permission 🙌🏽 because she loves the thought that it could help others with their Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder too 🥰

Exploring the Neuroscience and emotions of The Habit Loop and calming our naughty little Chimps 🐵 the hell down ✋ by understanding what’s going on with our brain 🧠 and hormones, before we even open the fridge or cupboard or speed dial Deliveroo 🏍️ is an absolute Game Changer if you struggle to control your Triggers, Cravings and Behaviours 💥

Please feel free to study Pic 2 - all her own words - & let me know if anything sounds familiar 🤔

I hope that you know that this is a safe place to share, you will never be criticised or judged here. I’m so very proud of the supportive community that we’ve become 🫶🏼

But, of course, please always feel free to DM me 😘

Unless you’ve been under a rock this weekend, you’ve seen this ALL over your feeds 🫣

Of course, some of the memes have been hilarious 😆

Of course, these 2 spouse cheaters deserve ALL the shame

And of course, the repercussions on their families is heartbreaking 💔

I’m also thinking of their colleagues and staff. Because I was in the position in an organisation, unknowingly being broken by peri-menopause, and had no-one there to talk to and ask for help 🙏

Why? Because the male Boss and female HR Manager were very obviously ’close’ 🤗

I left that job. I had nothing like it to replace it with but even the company car, secure salary, commission and paid holiday couldn’t keep me in that environment ⛔️

I wonder how many other mid-life women feel or have felt this way too? More than we think, I bet!

Thank you Alison so much for this very thoughtful and truly appreciated presentation of Certificate and Sticker 💗🤣👏🏼💗🤣👏🏼

If I don’t know you’re coming by 7pm Friday - I can’t create your personal workout 🏋🏽‍♀️

You won’t be left sitting on your 🍑🤣 trust me 😘 but you also won’t get the best value for your money or time - and that’s so important right?

Love Love Love watching new friendships grow through exercise 💞

Week 7/16 of coaching running beginners & returners with Walking & Running Fit SESKU & Hemsworth - only 2 of these awesomes knew each other Week 1

Now, they’re all running buddies and the group chat is 🐝 🐝 all supporting and congratulating each other and arranging to meet up in between 💞

When fitness becomes more than just the class you go to each week…that’s where the hook 🪝 lies and the magic truly happens 💥

Give something 7 weeks, it’s no time really, but could make all the difference ✨

Trust me 😘

Obviously this does not apply to my selfies skills but I keep trying anyway 🤣

Day 1/2 of the PERIMENO Conference and I am SO happy!

That I’ve not been chatting 💩 to you all 😅

The proven key points from the Academics, Researchers, Doctors and Professors speaking today were these 🥁 🥁 🥁

🥩 🍗 🥦 🍊 We need to be eating nutrient dense foods. 80% of the time at least.

We don’t want to be restricting until we’re uncomfortably hungry, then bingeing crap or ‘treating’ ourselves to sugary snacks & drinks. They’re not treats for our bodies, they’re just sugar that likes to hang round our waists 😖

Food is vital nourishment for our bodies to work efficiently - as is sleep (sleep has been a personal mission this year & I’ve definitely benefitted)

💪🏽🏋🏽‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🚶🏽‍♀️🧘‍♀️ Exercise 😃

✅ Resistance/Weight Training - maintaining full body lean muscle mass, brain cognition, physical independence, living well longer

✅ Running/ Walking Briskly - maintaining bone density, maintaining some lower body lean muscle, 💗 heart health, Vit D (outdoor running in daylight)

✅ Flexibility/Mobility Training - can be fantastic for core strength & stability and definitely a great part of a self-care regime. No evidence of physical benefit to muscle or bone health (don’t come at me my Yogi & Pilates friends, I’m just reporting back)

✅ Walking Leisurely - fantastic for wellbeing, social connection, Vit D, some heart health. No evidence to show benefit to muscle or bone health but a perfect entry level to becoming a little fitter than before👌

So…heard any of that before? 🙋🏼‍♀️

It was a day, and I was grateful for a run afterwards with our Walking & Running Fit Five Towns group!

I’m looking forward to tomorrow (thank you so much for all your messages ♥️) when I get to speak about what’s going on in real life, with real women in real communities

Please feel free to have a look through the slide pics (there were many more) and let me know below ⬇️ if you have questions

Or 💡 if you’d like a free, private group chat via Zoom/Teams sometime soon, drop a 🚀 in the comments

Or, come to on Saturday mornings in Ossett where you’ll get all the support you need to start your Living Well Longer Journey!

I appear to know what I’m talking about, trust me 😘

Proud to represent you all and my company Evergreen Active today, and always
