25.01.2022 I see it a lot, people freaking out that taking a few days off when they’re sick will de-rail their progress. People think that somehow, all their hard work will be undone if they have more rest days one week. Well I’m here to tell you that is NOT the case. Absolutely NOTHING will happen to your body if you have to take a few days off to rest while you’re sick. And to be honest, it’s better to take a few days off and let your body recover than try and push through, prolong yo...ur sickness and therefore impact your training for LONGER than if you had of just taken the time off in the first place. When you are sick (regardless of what it is) you might FEEL like you’ve gone backwards because The scale will go up because you’re holding fluid (a natural response to being sick) You will feel ‘softer’ because you’re holding fluid from being sick If you’re taking painkillers or antibiotics etc, you’ll probably hold fluid from those too! You might get bloated because our digestive system tends to slow down when our energy is directed to your immune system Let me assure you, these changes are NOT fat gain, and will disappear as fast as they arrive once your body recovers. You are not a hero for training while sick. Nothing bad will happen to you if you take a few days off. Drink lots of water, eat healthy food and lots of vegetables to get the nutrients you need to recover faster, and get lots of sleep. Take it easy, don’t worry about burning calories and just let your body heal.

16.01.2022 20 WEEKS PROGRESS 10KG DOWN Bella came to me wanting to lose some weight but also wanting to ensure she created a sustainable lifestyle and moved away from her all or nothing approach to dieting that has seen her lose and re-gain weight in the past.... We focused on a moderate calorie deficit (which actually remained unchanged for the 20 weeks) and focused on incorporating social events with a balanced approach that meant she could enjoy social occasions without feeling the need to over indulge. I started talking to Bella at the very start how important reverse dieting would be to sustain her result this time. Now that we’ve achieved her goal we will be commencing her reverse diet and starting to teach her how to move towards a more intuitive based approach to eating. Macros are a fantastic tool to understand foods and achieve your goals. But you don’t have to track them every day for the rest of your life. A good coach will set you up with the tools to sustain your results long term. And a good client will be willing to commit that extra time to a reverse diet to make sure that they don’t end back at square one. Team work makes the dream work! Proud of this hard worker for wanting to make a difference in her life, long term.

14.01.2022 Do you get anxiety around eating different foods? Do you avoid social situations because of the food and alcohol involved? I used to experience pretty bad food anxiety. It developed after a period of working with one of my first coaches who told me that if I wanted results, I had to eat meat and vegetables with coconut oil 6 x per day. If I wanted a treat I could have 150g blueberries (lol). I wasn’t even allowed to eat oats. And I couldn’t use fake tan or make up (coz to...xins). I was young and I didn’t know any better at the time. It was one of my first experiences in the fitness industry, and I wasn’t even a qualified PT yet. So as you can imagine, this instilled me with fear. As a result, I ate before going out for dinner with friends. I got anxious if I had to go somewhere I couldn’t control what I ate. But I realised that this was no life to live and I had seen people on social media following flexible dieting so I decided to give it a crack myself. I educated myself, started implementing it and to my surprise (and the coaches) I lost weight. I was eating foods I missed again, and getting better results. That’s how I fell into macro tracking and flexible dieting. It enabled me to overcome the anxiety I had around food and stop viewing foods as good or bad. This is why I’m so passionate about teaching my clients a balanced and sustainable approach, and educating them on how to eat foods they like while achieving their goals. No one should feel like they can’t eat out, enjoy a meal with their partner, or have a nice glass of wine here and there. There is an element of sacrifice required to achieve a goal. But it doesn’t have to be painful, isolating and anxiety inducing.

11.01.2022 First of alI, it’s important to note there are some people who should avoid the scale altogether, especially if there is history of disordered eating habits. I have some clients who weigh themselves and some who don’t. BUT. If you do choose to weigh yourself, I recommend doing it daily- not weekly! The reason being, if your goal is to lose weight but you only weigh yourself once a week and you step on the scale on a day that your weight happens to fluctuate UP, then of ...course you’re going to feel deflated. But NEWS FLASH!Our weight fluctuates up and down every single day (especially as women, who are hormonally more susceptible to fluid fluctuations). That’s why if you only weigh once a week, you aren’t getting the whole picture. Alternatively, if you weigh in every day and you start to see that your weight drops by 800g just as quickly as it jumps up by 800g, then you tend to become less concerned over changes in that number. You become more OBJECTIVE, because you can see that the number is just data, and it goes up and down sometimes due to factors we can explain (like eating late the night before, having a crap sleep, not doing your morning poo yet) but ALSO sometimes due to factors we can’t explain- but you realise that’s no big deal because you know that it goes up and down on the daily and that one weigh in means nothing! I have a lot of women start with me who think it’s less obsessive to only weigh in once a week- but I think that this can do more harm than good because you don’t get to see how normal fluctuations are. When I suggest to start weighing daily, they often find they become less attached to the number, and less concerned about fluctuations. They see the number for what it is- data. It also helps them to be kinder to themselves around their cycle too, when it’s normal for weight to sit up for several days. My preference is for a client to weigh in daily or every second day, or not use a scale at all. This way, data is not skewed by taking a weekly weight that happens to fall on a day with an upward fluctuation.

10.01.2022 Don’t compare your Chapter 1, to someone else’s Chapter 10. 2016: Didn’t achieve the level of conditioning I should have. This was my second comp season, and I was given no reverse diet out of my first show so my metabolism wasn’t in the best place for this prep.... Decided I would never get on stage with sub-par conditioning again. 1st place Bikini Open (don’t know how lols) 2017: Went the other way. Achieved a better level of conditioning but lost some muscle in the process. Lost my glutes doing too much stairmaster (contrary to popular belief lol). Was given no carb up and looked flat on stage. I also probably rushed this prep after a surgery, and was in an extremely stressful stage of my life. Learnt that stress plays a huge factor in your results and being resilient and stubborn can’t beat your body’s physiology. 2nd Place Bikini Open 2018- took time off, let my body recover from adrenal insufficiency after living in a state of chronic stress. Spent time re-building my metabolism and hormones. Learnt a lot about myself. 2019- achieved the perfect package of fullness and conditioning! Prep was a breeze and I felt good throughout, yet achieved my best level of conditioning. Carbed up for several days before the show. Felt really proud of the package I brought that day. 1st Place Bikini Open & 1st Place Ms Swimwear It’s taken me years of consistency to achieve a physique that I feel good about and confident in. I’ve made mistakes and I’ve learnt from them. And I’ve hard to learn the hard way many times. We learn so much along the way in our health and fitness journeys, and you can’t skip ahead to Chapter 10 until you’ve got through the nitty gritty of the Chapters beforehand. Trust me, I know it gets tedious and some chapters go on forever; but it’s worth persisting with this read.
