The basics are EVERYTHING. There’s no secret act

The basics are EVERYTHING. There’s no secret action or insider knowledge needed to reach your goals!

Trends, tricks, and hacks come and go. But the basics stick around forever because they WORK.

For fitness, health & wellness, those basics include:

● Feeding your body healthy whole foods in the right amounts
● Drinking enough water to keep you hydrated,
● Moving your body regularly to keep it fit and strong,
● Sleeping for 7 to 8 hours a night,
● Managing your stress,
● Keeping your mind positive and focused by learning new things, and
● Getting regular downtime!

It really is THAT SIMPLE.

Now …. I said simple, not EASY.

There are challenges along the way, but honestly, I think that’s why the process is SO REWARDING.

You learn a lot about yourself – your strength, your tenacity, and your drive!

You also learn where you need to spend a little more time making some changes, so you can become the best versions of yourself!

Just remember, when you’re feeling blah or need a boost in your results, circling back around to your basics is EVERYTHING!

When you have those nailed down, you become unstoppable.

How are you doing on your basics? Let me know!

Have a great Thursday...x

🔥This month I’m talking a lot about plateaus

🔥This month I’m talking a lot about plateaus and your results. They can be SO frustrating!

The good news is that there are specific steps you can take to keep them at bay.

✅When I’m working toward a goal, here’s what I personally do to keep my results coming and my motivation high:

I measure my progress in several different ways. For example, I focus on increasing the weights I lift, getting stronger is amazing motivation to keep pushing myself. I plan my days ahead of time as much as possible, this keeps me focused and ensures I am prioritising my time effectively to reach my health and fitness goals.

❓Have you ever been stuck in a plateau?

What did you do you blast out of it?

If you’re grappling with a plateau, here’s the

If you’re grappling with a plateau, here’s the very first thing you should do – before you do anything else!

Double-check:

Are you actually IN a plateau? Are you still following the plan that brought you results in the first place?

Or … has your “following the plan” strayed a bit, and you’re not staying on track as well as you were in the beginning?

If that’s the case then it’s time to:
1) Figure out why and
2) Get fired back up and back on track ASAP!

There are lots of reasons you can lose focus, from getting bored to being busy with life!

If that’s what is happening, here’s your plan of action:

Step 1: Figure out exactly when you lost focus.

Step 2: Determine WHY it happened. Was it a scheduling problem? Did something personal happen? Did you struggle to make it a habit? Were you bored? etc.

Step 3: Take action to address the WHY. Start planning ahead again … get some new recipes … change up your workouts … hire a coach (for the best results!) … recruit some friends for accountability … or just restart doing what you were doing before!

AND …. If you truly ARE following your plan and find yourself in a plateau, it’s time to tweak your plan a little to boost its effectiveness.

I have created a free guide to help you refocus and push through your plateau. You can download it from the link in my bio 😘

I love a Sunday evening, sitting down and planning

I love a Sunday evening, sitting down and planning my week ahead. I’m quite an organised person so a plan helps me structure my week and stops me feeling overwhelmed. I’m also realistic in my planning so I achieve what I need to and anything more than that is a bonus!

I got my food shop done today and all meals planned for the week. It always makes me feel better when I have a fridge full of food. (Doesn’t last long with a house full of hungry boys right enough!!🤦🏼‍♀️)

I have also checked the weather and I looks like we have a dry week ahead which will help with my own goal of spending as much time outside as possible🤞🏻

I have been working on mixing up my workouts over the last 3 months and it has made a big difference to my focus, motivation and I’m seeing progress in both muscle gain and overall fitness which has been amazing! Another plus - to me, actually the biggest plus is the improvement in my mental well-being.

I have been lifting weights 3 to 4 days a week, HIIT workouts, walking daily and getting back out on the mountain bike has been amazing! Love a bit of off roading, especially when I don’t fall 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Working this week with several new clients which is really exciting. I love getting people set up on my plan and know too that it won’t be long until they feel great too.

What’s your fitness and nutrition goals for next week?

I wish you all an amazing week...

If you need me just shout 😘

Do what makes you happy then things will fall into

Do what makes you happy then things will fall into place...

Focus on making yourself happy, don't rely on others to do that and you will NEVER be disappointed ✌️

Happy Sunday 😘

🔥CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC ALERT 🔥 💧Next time

🔥CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC ALERT 🔥

💧Next time you need an energy boost in the middle of the day, ditch the energy drink and guzzle a big glass of water instead.

The caffeine, sugar, and stimulants (like taurine) in energy drinks can send your body on a roller coaster ride – giving you a quick dose of ingredients that rev up your central nervous system, and then send it CRASHING back down so you feel even MORE tired.

😵But that’s not all. They also can compound your energy problem by messing with your sleep!

💡A better approach is to drink plenty of water, get a little exercise, and make sure you expose yourself to light (natural sunshine is best). These are the best natural revver-uppers for your body.

If you absolutely MUST use something to boost your energy, drink the smallest amount of caffeine possible that gives you a small energy boost but won’t:
1) leave you feeling more tired in an hour or so, and
2) interfere with your sleep.

Up for the switch? Try it and see!

🤯🚃 I remember when stressful days used to derail me.

I’d be doing great, then all of a sudden I’d have a stressful day and all my healthy habits would go out the door. Even worse, I’d end up feeling like I had to start ALL over again!

✅I realised I had to control stress before it controlled me … which is why I pieced together my very own stress management routine.

This doesn’t mean I don’t GET stressed. But it means I’m ready for it when it happens (most of the time!).

🧘Here’s how I manage stress:

I workout most days, mixing it up with weights and HIIT, meditating & yoga practice 2 to 3 days per week, going for walks outside as many days as possible with my 3 boys and gorgeous dog can be a great stress buster not to mention some much needed time to switch off from tech for both me and them. I also eat a low-sugar diet which helps me manage my energy levels throughout the day.

Everyone has stress from time to time! It’s a normal part of life. Having a plan in place to manage it makes such a difference.

🔥What are some of YOUR stress management “musts”?

Here are some signs you might need more protein! N

Here are some signs you might need more protein! Now, it’s important to note that all of these issues can be related to other health conditions, so it’s a good idea to ask your doctor if you’re noticing them.

#1: You feel hungry even if you’re eating enough. Among many other things, protein helps keep you feeling full through the day.

It’s considered the most satiating nutrient and can help keep your appetite at bay between meals. It really does make a difference!

#2: You notice your bruises aren’t healing as fast as normal, or you feel like your workout recovery is slower, with more soreness.

This can be because the protein collagen, which is found in connective tissues, plays a role in helping your body heal and repair itself!

#3: You notice your skin, hair, or nails are lacklustre, or maybe your hair isn’t growing as quickly or isn’t as thick as normally is.

This is because your hair, skin, and nails are made up of proteins like elastin, collagen, and keratin.

#4: You feel tired and weak. Studies have found that not eating enough protein for even just a week can affect your muscles! Especially those responsible for your posture and general movement.

Protein also helps your body maintain its muscle mass if you’re losing weight, which can be very important for your keeping up your strength.

#5: Your mood. Proteins play a big role in all the chemicals and enzymes in your body. That includes neurochemicals that can affect your brain and your mood, like dopamine and serotonin.

Those are just a few signs you may not be getting enough protein!

Research shows that spreading your protein intake out over the course of the day is the best bet for making the most of it. So my tip is to make sure you’re eating something with protein in it at every meal!

I hope this list helps you make informed choices to help you reach your goals.

If you are looking to feel more fit for everyday life, improve your strength, incorporate practical and healthy habits into your lifestyle, etc., I'm here for you. All you need to do is get in touch with me anytime.

Checklist to Get Back On-Track I just realised so

Checklist to Get Back On-Track

I just realised something, we are almost ¼ of the way through this year already!

This is the perfect time to check in on your 2021 goals and make any changes you need to turn them into REALITY.

And … if you’re on-track, these tips will help with your efforts.

Tip 1. Go on a positivity diet! Read inspirational books … watch motivational videos … and interact with people who motivate you forward toward your goals – which can include curating your social media feed with people who make you feel more POSITIVE about life ... not plant seeds of fear and negativity.

Tip 2. Surround yourself with like-minded people. This can be in Facebook groups or online forums!

If you’re not part of my Facebook community, you can join through the link in my bio ‘Nutrition Matters’.

Plugging into a community and feeling connected and supported is a HUGE advantage in getting back on track and staying accountable.

Tip 3. This one sounds counterintuitive, but if you are coming out of a slump, thank it!

This is because the slump likely gave you two important pieces of info:

First, it might have highlighted something that wasn’t working for you. Why did the slump happen in the first place?

Now you know what led to it – you have powerful data that can help you change things up!

And second, that slump also helped you realise how important it actually is to you to stay on track, which can add real fuel to your fire.

Tip 4. Raise your energy level.

This applies to both your mind and your body. I’m talking about simple actions like going for a walk, getting some fresh air, reading some inspiring quotes, or listening to motivational podcasts. The idea is to bring some fresh and positive energy into your day, every day! Being intentional about this and seeking out that positive energy can be a game-changer.

5. Shake up your routine. Most of us like a little novelty in our lives – doing the same old, same old all the time doesn’t feel super exciting. It can make you feel like you’re in a rut. This new thing doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be something simple like jogging between every other lamppost during your (cont in comments 👇🏻)

Ok. So, what can cause cravings for sweet and carb

Ok. So, what can cause cravings for sweet and carb-rich foods, and what you can do about it.

First: the cause … it’s something that affects ALL of us at some point or another.

It’s not getting enough sleep!

When you don’t get enough sleep, your body’s hunger hormones get out of whack, making you feel hungry … AND ALSO making it so that the food that you DO eat doesn’t really satisfy you.

This sets you up for a cycle of cravings. And also feeling even MORE tired … and also bloated from eating all that food!

So … what can you do about it?

If you have a rocky night of sleep, make sure you start your day with a healthy, balanced breakfast that includes PROTEIN and FIBRE-RICH FOODS.

Both fibre and protein can help fill you up – and stay feeling full for hours.

Here are some ideas:

Oatmeal and eggs … Greek yoghurt with berries … Chia pudding with protein powder … or even a smoothie with fruit, a handful of baby spinach, some yoghurt, and protein powder!

And also be sure to drink plenty of water. Being even a little dehydrated (1-2%!) can contribute to that overtired feeling.

If you want more breakfast ideas I’ve got a resource for you, absolutely free. It’s my latest recipe guide, Protein-Packed Breakfasts. It includes recipes and ideas for starting your day off right.

You can get it by following the link in my bio @loseitandloveit

I hope this info helps you stay on track with your healthy habits the next time you have a restless night of sleep!
