“You’re so lucky, you have so much time to train.”
I hear this a lot.

And yes — I do have a big support system. I have a husband who does the daddy job when I go train, and I do the mommy job when he goes to exercise. I have a mom close by… but she’s also active and busy living her life.

What you don’t always see on Instagram?
When I’m in the CrossFit gym, there are often kids running around in the background.

Holidays. Afternoon classes when there’s no one to watch them. Saturday mornings.
Lunch boxes packed. Breakfast packed. Snacks opened mid-WOD. Yogurt lids peeled. Cool drinks poured. The occasional butt wipe in between sets 😅

And you know what? That’s normal.

We’re a group of moms at our CrossFit gym. We’re close. Our kids come with. They entertain themselves. They get bored — and boredom is actually good for them because that’s where creativity starts.

What they do learn is this:
👉 It’s normal for parents to exercise
👉 Movement is part of life
👉 Taking care of your body matters

Is it easy? No.
Especially when they’re younger.
The first few sessions can be chaotic.

But kids get used to it.
And you can still train around it.

So let’s normalize:
✨ Moms being fit and active
✨ Exercising with kids around
✨ Letting our kids see us move, sweat, and prioritise our health

This isn’t perfection — this is real life.
And real life still deserves movement. 💪💜

POV: You enter a biathlon and suddenly you’re a cyclist 🚴‍♀️😂
Big thanks to my hubby for dragging me along on off-road rides.
2 weeks to go:
• 20km cycle
• 5km run
Send legs… and skills 😮‍💨😮‍💨

✨ I’m back (finally!) ✨

If you’ve been wondering where I disappeared to… life happened 😅
The year-end rush at work + December holidays meant Instagram took a little back seat.

December was all about family, movement, fresh air and yes… enough ice cream 🍦
No guilt, just balance.

And then January said: “Let’s go.”
✔️ 10 km PB
✔️ Entered a Biathlon
✔️ CrossFit Open around the corner
✔️ A HYROX mini comp loading… 👀

So it’s safe to say — this year is already moving fast and I’m HERE for it 💪

For anyone new here (or who needs a re-intro):
I’m Esmé, a registered dietitian, mom of two, Hybrid everyday athlete and someone who truly believes that fueling your body properly is the key to performance, recovery and consistency — whether you’re chasing PBs or just trying to feel better in your body.

This year I’ll be sharing more of:
🥗 How I fuel my training
🏋️‍♀️ The real-life balance between sport, work & family
📚 Evidence-based sports nutrition (no fads, no extremes)
🔥 The highs, the tired days and everything in between

Thanks for sticking around — let’s do this together 🤍

When you’re scrolling through photos and think, “Damn girl, those abs!!” … and then realise — it’s YOU! 🤣
A little reminder that it’s okay to be proud of your progress. You’ve earned it! 💪
So go on, girl — wear the bikini, ditch the shirt in the sunshine, and own that hard work! ☀️🔥

Post-Comp Reflection 💪
Another competition in the books — finished 10th out of 30 amazing teams!! Proud of every rep, every lesson, and every bruise earned along the way.

Every time you compete it teaches you something new — about grit, mindset, and the limits you didn’t know you could push past. You grow stronger not just physically, but mentally too.

Never stop trying to be the best version of yourself!
Next up: 21km training begins! 🏃‍♀️

Life has been LIFE-ing hard lately…
But after two weeks of travel, there’s no better feeling than being HOME 🏡 — and kicking off the weekend with a Friday afternoon family HYROX session 🏋️‍♀️🔥

Because even when life gets chaotic, moving together keeps us grounded. ❤️
