25.01.2022 FESTIVE INDULGENCE Feeling defeated before you’ve even begun? Social media seems to be filling up with tips on how to stay/get healthy over the festive period, and whilst I agree to a certain point, I also think this is a time of year that we should just be thinking about enjoying time with family & friends and really savouring those moments WITHOUT being paranoid about our waistlines - it’s been a stressful enough year without adding MORE stress about what you shoul...d/shouldn’t be eating on Christmas Day! One day is not going to ruin your diet and one missed workout will not ruin your progress. Mindset is so important when introducing & maintaining habits, so if you want to do ANYTHING over the next couple of weeks, view these few small steps as your self-care regime, not as restriction & punishment for overindulgence: SUNSHINE: The sun helps to regulate our mood, energy & circadian rhythms to promote better sleep. Around 15-30min per day with face & arms exposed when the sun is overhead is enough to synthesise adequate vitamin D. MOVEMENT: A 30min+ walk with a friend or family member is a lovely opportunity to catch up & feel energised for the day ahead. WATER: Keeping hydrated will help you get better sleep, reduce risk of headaches & support your energy. Enjoy a mix of sparkling water, ice cold herbal teas, herb/berry infused water to make it super enjoyable & refreshing. SLEEP: Make the most of the opportunity to catch a few afternoon siestas while you’re on a break from work. If you have young kids & aren’t in control of your nighttime sleep (I’m right there with you!) then take turns with your partner to get naps in during the daylight hours to compensate. These small daily habits that will help you revitalise mentally a little after such a hectic year... beyond this, sit back, relax & REALLY enjoy that Christmas pudding that’s being passed around, guilt-free... I know I definitely will!!

19.01.2022 TESTIMONIAL It makes me smile from ear to ear when I see clients making incredible progress with their health! As Mums, we can be guilty of putting our own health last while we keep everyone else happy & healthy, but the best way to ensure we support our loved ones is by putting our health first, so we can have the ENERGY to support others.... I approach every consult with empathy, and a true understanding of the challenges of juggling parenting and everything else life throws at you. If you’ve been feeling flat, tired, anxious, depressed, or a little lost about where to start with your health, don’t write it off as I’m just exhausted by parenting ... there’s likely other contributing factors as to why you’re feeling that way (hormone imbalance, gut issues, nutrient deficiencies) that I can help with identifying, and then supporting you to make incremental changes that won’t overwhelm, but are sustainable. Reach out, I offer a 15min discovery call to understand what you’re experiencing and how I can help. See more

02.01.2022 SUMMER SALADS This warmer weather calls for delicious, crunchy, textured, satisfying salads! Salads can be really so much more than a few shreds of iceberg lettuce & tomatoes... they should be layered with different flavours & ingredients that excite your taste buds and contain all of your macronutrients; Carbohydrates, Fats & Protein along with vitamins & minerals in abundance!... This gorgeous plate has; Roasted carrots & beets Walnuts (anti-inflammatory fats) Lentils (fibre & prebiotics) Peach (because who doesn’t love fruit in salads?!) Goats cheese Drizzled with Balsamic Vinegar & olive oil and served with a fillet of salmon. Full recipe is going out with this week’s @goodandfugly boxes You don’t need exact measurements with salads, just handfuls of your favourite ingredients layered up and thrown together, easy peasy! Are you on board with delicious salads? Hit me with your favourite ingredients below! See more

01.01.2022 PRACTICES & MINDSET Setting goals for the year ahead? January presents a unique opportunity to reflect on things that are working well for you and other things that you’d like to adjust so you can start a new year with good intentions.... The challenge can be that we set unrealistic goals that overwhelm our current lifestyle and we set ourselves up for failure rather than success (think big diet overhauls, ambitious exercise routines of 6 days per week, abstinence from alcohol etc etc). So how can you do something different this year? With my Change Management hat on, I can assure you that small incremental changes are much more likely to build into long-term sustainable habits! Mindset: Start by writing down WHY you want to make changes, and what they will bring to your life. Often we just think about WHAT we want to change (I want to lose that final 3kg) without tapping into our WHY, which is so much more powerful. Diet: start by focusing on improving one meal a day (like breakfast) and get that underway for a few weeks before adding another Fitness: incorporate activities that you ENJOY and aim for a reasonable amount each week e.g book in 3 x 30min walks a week to get you feeling energised outdoors. Podcasts are a great strategy I offer my clients to inspire them to get out the door & listen to their favourites! Alcohol: consider 2-3 alcohol-free nights each week that you can maintain all year round, rather than a full blown I’m not drinking for 4 wks! (But then will go back to my same binging habits thereafter) Work: Have a conversation with your Leader to get a casual agreement in place that gives you permission to take that walk at lunch, or log-off by 5pm to spend time with family. Let them know why it’s important to you. We’ve got a full year ahead; it is a marathon, not a sprint, and a mindset of ‘slow & steady wins the race’ will place you in a good position to over-achieve this year! You’ve totally got this! If you’re feeling a bit lost about where to start, I’ve got you. I offer a FREE 15min discovery call to find out how best I can help you x See more
