Life lately (and for the past decades) - nutrition, training, Endo bellies, hikes/nature and my boys 🐶🐶🥰

The almond butter is this snack is 380 calories, making it a 470 calorie snack with the rice thins. It was measured out to show a client and educate her on the caloric values in foods. Unless you have that awareness, nuts butters (and snacks as you need to bring insulin down) are not the best option for those trying to reduce body fat 😊

“A walk in nature walks the soul back home.” – Mary Davis

Popped up to The Pinnacles last night after work. A surreal few hours at summit for sunset and then back home. Walking down in the darkness of the night with only my headlamp was such a peaceful and serene experience, simultaneously deep in thought with a clear and free mind.

Arriving back at my car around 10pm I felt calm, grounded and reminded again of what and who truly matters in life. 🥰

I know so many of you love hiking and being in nature too, I love hearing your favourite hikes/places and stories! 🙏🫶

If I had kids they’d get things like these as treats. Real food to make them feel amazing. A great one for kids, both the fur and human kinds! 🐶🐶👧🧒

Note: cacao is toxic to dogs.

A nourished body and mind is a calm, patient, strong, reliable, logical, happy, driven and resilient one. 🙏💪

A malnourished body and mind is a weak, reactive, unmotivated, impatient, moody, unpredictable and chaotic one. 😫😴

What determines how efficiently YOUR body converts food into energy?

“You eat a lot” – a standard comment from family/friends and even strangers over the years. 😅

Although I’ve never intentionally tracked my caloric intake, I accurately know I’ve consistently eaten 3200-4500 calories per day for years.

This lunch is approx. 780 calories and a good example of why I never post my exact meals in terms of calories, macros, micros, portions etc, as we all have completely different dietary requirements. This largely comes down to how efficient your body is at converting food into energy, your “metabolism”.

Essentially, the more efficient your metabolism is, the more calories you can eat without negatively impacting health markers and/or gaining body fat.

🎉 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🎉

The first slide is an enquiry from a now current client back in 2018. Focussed solely on losing weight, she literally got a nutrition plan from me, and I never heard from her again.

Until October 2025 when she sent another enquiry (second slide). Completely different mindset, ready to make long term changes to her health and quality of life. 👏🤩

You can see the stark contrast between her goals/focus in those years. Since October we’ve had fortnightly check ins and she’s like a sponge, absorbing all I teach her, both of which are key for forming new habits and ensuring long term changes.

The third slide is an email from her yesterday, shared with her permission of course. Although one of her goals was always to reduce fat, it was only when she started fueling her body to support biochemical reactions and improve her metabolic health, that lipolysis was activated and she saw fat loss. Her size/weight has never really been mentioned in her sessions, that’s just been an awesome byproduct of trusting and enjoying the process of working with a professional.

You can have the world’s best nutrition plan but without the support, education and accountability especially in the initial stages, it’s ridiculous to expect long term changes.

This client’s mindset is amazing; she’s always so happy, positive and willing to learn and I’m beyond proud of her. 👏👏 It’s such a pleasure and honour work with her! ❤️

And that’s a wrap on my last day of 2025! 🎉 Last workout for 2025. 🏋️‍♀️ Last day of clients for 2025. 🙏 And about to head out and welcome in 2026. 🎊 Given my circadian rhythm is trained to naturally wake me by 4am and be asleep by 9pm it’ll be a miracle if I’m still awake at midnight 🤣 Have a great evening everyone! ❤️

🎄🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄

A few pics/videos from the past few days:

🌅🐶🐶 Tried to take a nice beach sunrise photo but Rocco and Kobe were only interested in digging and sniffing! 😂

🏋️‍♀️🧘‍♀️🚶‍♀️‍➡️Naturally keeping my usual routine. When you enjoy the things you do, they become your habits. Your habits become your lifestyle, part of who you are. 🫶

⛰️👣 Went up the Pinnacles for the night yesterday after finishing work, solo this time. I LOVE the solitude, peace and serenity of sitting at the summit for a few hours at sunset and sunrise. 🥰

🍫🍓 Homemade chocolate bark and muffins to take to a Christmas lunch tomorrow. 😍

Wishing you all an amazing Christmas! ❤️🫶
