Recovery going well! Bruises are healing up now. I’ve given up on the Clexane injections they’re absolutely horrific so I’m just drinking loads and moving about constantly. (& drinking the odd bit of water too 😉)

💫 SKINVIVE ❄️

As we head into the colder months, low temperatures, wind and indoor heating can contribute to dryness, dehydration and changes in skin texture.

SkinVive is an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) treatment designed to improve skin smoothness and hydration, to provide a refreshed and glowing appearance.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that restore lost volume or contour, SkinVive is administered as microdroplets intradermally (just beneath the skin’s surface) to enhance hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. This method replenishes the skin’s HA content, which naturally diminishes with age and environmental exposure, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin!

BENEFITS:

Improved cheek skin smoothness: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and crepiness.

Enhanced hydration: Promotes glowing, refreshed, and healthy-looking skin.

Better skin quality: Improves pore appearance, texture, and radiance.

Potential collagen stimulation: Some studies suggest upregulation of genes related to extracellular matrix maintenance and repair.

High patient satisfaction: Rapid visible results (as early as 1 month) with sustained improvements and high satisfaction rates in clinical trials.

Minimal downtime: Most patients return to normal activities the same day.

An excellent skin treatment option for maintaining skin quality through the winter months. ❄️

I asked myself: “Could I carry my daughter whilst running for our lives if I needed to?” The answer was NO.

Weight loss before & afters look great- but they come with emotional baggage. (Believe me when I say I’ll want to delete this reel for the next 7 days 😂)

I’ve lost 23kgs over 2.5 years. My biggest learning curve has been to start lifting heavy early. I had absolutely no idea the impact being able to lift has not only upon fat loss, but also the fact you need to lift FOREVER- literally into old age, and the reasons why. Why we aren’t taught this at school I will never know. It’s took me 38 years to even begin to understand lifting - WHAT THE HELL?!!!

I try to study an hour per night on how and why, and the physiology behind it. I should have started at least a decade ago.

The other thing I’ve learned is not everyone will be cheering for you- and that’s ok. Let it go. That’s up to them. People can behave strangely when you lose weight - they don’t see the sacrifices you’re making. They might think you’re lucky.. they prob have their own sh*t to deal with too.

I still buy clothes too big for me, knowing that I need (and deserve) a smaller size. It’s my comfort zone. I still pray for autumn and winter to come around as I was so used to hiding in jumpers and leggings. I’m now needing to tone up LOTS of loose skin that’s left behind, meaning I can’t wear what I want as I’m so conscious of it. If any of my friends told me this about themselves I would of course tell them they’re perfect just the way they are!! But it’s different when it’s in your own head. I’ve got 1 stone left to go which I’m doing slowly with absolutely no pressure involved.

Education was key - protein, water, move, weights, cal deficit. I never once banned treats or carbs, I just reduced the portion size and controlled myself. There was no way I was giving up any of my faves - that’s just depressing. Over time this became more normal, and it felt abnormal if I didn’t operate this way. I started fuelling my body instead of feeding it. Tiny changes make the biggest difference (like hitting protein before ANY caffeine in the morning and learning the evidence behind it!) 😮

The school run waits for nobody 🤣 and we quite literally ran the whole way.
Feeling not too bad though and glad it’s done 👍
