It’s a tough life for LouLou

Hard days happen; but they don’t mean you’re wrong.

If you’re in the middle of your journey to becoming your HEALTHIEST self (not leanest self) know that you’re doing the right thing; your health & fitness should never consume your life, & whilst the fitness society may make you feel like leaner = better / accepted / a sense of belonging / happiness…

If exercise & controlling your food dictate your happiness… then that 👏Is 👏🏻Not👏🏽 It👏🏿

Hard days are hard. But you know what’s harder?

Broken bones. Constant injury. Infertility. Sleepless nights. Gut issues. Constant anxiety. The list goes on.

You & I both know you are worth more than that. You’re stubborn enough to keep going; if I can, you can.

Hard days don’t mean give up, they mean you’re human ❤️💕🏃🏼‍♀️

Is your fit girl feed filling up with injuries & missing periods?? I can’t help but think it’s not a coincidence.

With the rise in extreme running events (I’m guilty, I know - and I was also without a period lol), & then women’s health becoming the next marketing tactic…

It actually is pretty easy to put two & two together to understand why.

REDs (aka relative energy deficiency in sport) occurs when the body is in a state of prolonged energy deficiency. It down regulates key bodily functions & if left ignored (which is nicer to do in the short term) causes long term damage.

You may THINK your training routine or diet is okay because ‘XYZ on social media’ is doing it…

But you’re not special. It’s sad, I know. But you’re training like an athlete without the support behind you of a professional team. And that WILL catch up to you.
Your body runs off of the same biochemistry as everyone else.

My advise?
Quit whilst your ahead.
Work on removing the ‘No days off’ mentality.
Start a structured strength training program.
Prioritise real food & REAL rest days.
Talk about your emotions & anxiety.
Find other coping mechanisms outside exercise & food.
Be a positive example in your fitness community for long-term health (because I BET you’re not the only woman struggling)

And if you feel like you’re ready to start working on your own fitness journey with a more… realistic & less ‘I have to burn XYS calories’ approach…

Direct message COACHING.
Your fitness should GIVE to your life, not take away from it ❤️

happy 3 years (give or take a few tactical breaks hehe) ❤️👌🏻

Jordan won’t read this because he doesn’t have IG so so ill embarassingly read it out to him:

Our relationship continues to teach me (sometimes annoyingly) to always be honest to what I really want, ‘long-term thinking’, be less self focused (hard for Leo/youngest sibling lol), to be patient and to trust in the good things and overthink the bad things a little less.

Jordan’s patience and… firmness that I can do hard things (the hard mental things… not the physical things - I’ll do them all day lol) has quite literally been life changing. And he’s been (mostly) patient all the way through as I’ve battled healing my hormones, re-writing what productive & health looks like to me.

He could’ve easily turned a blind eye to my obsessive habits, we could’ve gone down the medical path to band-aid my symptoms & ignore the consequences of having flatlined hormones… but he believed in, believed in us & didnt let me do less than he knew I could ❤️

2026 is going to be our best yet. And not just because LouLou is in our lives ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love love love love love ###

If you’ve ever gotten soooOOooOooOoo healthy, only to have your gut health worsen… it could be a sign to cut even more out of your diet. 🤡

JOKING. It’s a sign that your ‘diet’ has been going on a little too long, and/or is a little too drastic.

Shock horror: the juice cleanse isn’t the solution.

Forget about what ‘Sally’ did. Focus on what YOU are doing & remember before you take on a diet or exercise regime, take into consideration your mental health & relationship with food & exercise. Will this help it? Or will it hinder it?

Nothing gets in the way of goals more than an injury and/or illness and BOTH of those are likely when it comes to long term, chronic under-fueling.

How long do you actually need to be in an ice bath?

It depends. 🥶❄️🧊

Colder water = shorter time.
Slightly warmer water = longer time.

Sorry to break it to you my David Goggins 2.0-ers but more minutes doesn’t mean more physical benefits 👀🥶

So save this if you’re new to ice baths (or if you’ve been doing it wrong 👀👀)

Running burns calories, right? Calories burned = fat loss… right?

It depends.

Running is amazing! For mental health, heart health, the social aspect & being able to challenge limiting beliefs, use it as a tool for activism & awareness…

But for body recomposition (losing body fat + building muscle mass) it’s not the best. This photo is the perfect example!

I was doing 5-6 days of running a week. I wasnt trying to ‘lose fat’ but I was noticing that my body was changing & I was losing muscle & looking less lean, despite having a high output.

I dropped my run milleage in half, & prioritised 4 strength days a week. Making sure THEY where the focus of intensity, not my runs.

I think the photos tell the results & it’s a great one to share, because so many of my clients come to me STUCK in a cycle of chasing calories burned, instead of performance.

There’s so much more to movement than ‘calories burned’ & if you’re stuck on your journey, don’t know where to start or completely lost in a cycle of extreme diet/exercise -> burn out -> repeat… then let’s get you onto a sustainable & FUN approach.
