SPF 50 with a lot of RPE 100 ☀️

Two weeks of lessons learnt and realisations realised…

- never turn down pup cuddles, even when she’s literally a walking hot water bottle

- the country turns feral when its World Cup season

- anyone with a cyclist tan = gets a nod of approval and respect from me

- pickles >>>

- where there are sunglasses, i will find them, and i will wear them

- it’s not just a sprint triathlon; stop downplaying the achievement

- my dog looks like Stitch

- 0.33km extra makes a difference when you’re going full send mode

- eating lobster makes you feel fancy; period

- love this weather and my vit d levels feel restored and it’s fantastic and I won’t hear anything else

- sometimes a massive, f*ck off omelette cures all of life’s problems (at least that evening)

- my little sister visited from Vietnam and now I’m contemplating becoming a part time backpacker again

- dry between your baby toes on the T1 transition (and don’t forget your helmet queen) xoxoxo

- strong women in sport, are bad ass and I am proud to know so many inspiring women

- hot weather does weird things to your body (that swell tho)

- realised I am now officially a triathlete. That’s cool

If food noise feels a lot at summer, I’ve got you.

It’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed. Especially with diet culture, health washing, peer pressure and comparison to others. Normal, but not acceptable (imo).

So if you find yourself back and forthing with yo yo diets, restrictive behaviours and unable to trust yourself. This post might just help.

And if you’re looking for further support, please reach out via DM, comment below or click the link in my bio for coaching. We can have a no pressure chat to see how either I can help you OR point you on to someone better qualified 💕

Same sh*t, different week? 😅

If you find yourself waking up on Monday morning, kidding yourself that this week will be better. That you’ll be locked in. Hit it harder. That this week, you’ll be more on it?

Maybe consider it isn’t a motivation problem. Or that you’re not disciplined enough.

It’s likely that your expectations are off and your goals don’t meet you where you’re at.

Instead of starting the week with more restriction, jamming more into your diary and essentially setting yourself up to fail….

Ask yourself where the gap lies. What is it that isn’t working at the moment and get curious with WHY you’re repeating those patterns.

Because the people who make the most progress, don’t do so over night. Or with one superstar effort. Instead, they’re consistent and have strategies in place that have been practiced on repeat.

They’ve learnt the behaviour. Then actioned it. Repeated it. Fine tuned it. Adapted it where needed.

So before you start the week with an even longer to do list; stacking up the additional things you have to do more of 😅

Let’s try to build the action and commit to that action. Start small. Then build on it.

A strong foundation will go a long way, especially when things get turbulent or feeling hard later down the line. Relying on motivation and all or nothing mindset alone, will let you down long term.

It’s Hot AF right now, so here’s what I’d do!

Because we can’t control the weather and can only do what’s within our sphere of control when it comes to coping with it. Some of us (hi hi hi) thrive in the heat. Others, not so.

Whether we like it or, summertime and the hot weather spikes can impact our mood, energy, body image and training. Because it affects things like sleep, appetite, energy day to day, information in the body and generally makes things feel wayyyyy harder. Especially in the gym, training or exercising.

So next time you go into a sunny session and start beating yourself up because it feels sticky, harder than last time or you just can’t hit the same numbers…

Chill out (🧊)

There are things we need to consider orrrrr try to help us in the moment. But also, to set us up better to handle the heat and recover for training later down the line.

What have I missed? What’s your go to?

Don’t force yourself to wear the shorts, if wearing the shorts makes you anxious, uncomfortable and feel even worse. Wearing comfortable cooling clothes, also means clothes that allow you to stay cool headed and not in your head.

📆 🫡

This takes practice and self discipline; but not doing so and not listening to signals your body is giving can affect sessions and life later down the line. Trust when I say, multi day training hangovers from over doing it in your sessions….not fun.

Find people and a network to inspire you when you cba.
But also to help you when conditions are a bit too much. Things like buying a day pass for a gym with aircon, pool or women’s only section (so you can wear what is comfortable) if that’s the only way you’ll train.

🌶️🧠= the sun and heat hits harder because our natural receptors and signals already feel a bit off whack.

Don’t fall for summer BS diet culture telling you to avoid carbs before marbs (ew).

Pre, during, post.
The heat impacts you before, during andddd after your planned session even when least expect it.

A week in words.

Me 🤝 Pac-Man.

This might shock you, or come as a surprise…

But most of these aren’t ground breaking, or super fancy.

It’s probably stuff you do anyway; or you might have done at some point and neglected slightly. Because realistically, most people I talk to don’t need more information, noise or ideas. They need to filter through what they already do or know, to make it more applicable to their life.

Because the best strategies, are those that are relevant to you. The most useful tools, are only so if they are realistic and attainable for you now. Not you in an ideal, optimal world 🌎 (because what even is that??)

Rather than prepping for your best day, I’d suggest you look at the lowest hanging fruit. Prep for the busy, tricky and full on days. Make use of when you do have time, to give yourself time back later down the line 👌🏼

For my 🌶️ 🧠 folk, to work with our brains, not against them. To make things more accessible and likely to stick to change.

These work for me….

What works for you?

It took me a long time to write this.

A little more raw, personal and a bit of a post fuelled by anger?

It took me time, because I needed to get it right. I needed to choose my words properly and make sure I wasn’t contributing in a way that could make the situation worse. Not to glamorise it in any way. Or trigger someone. My intention here is to help.

** potential trigger warning; please if this might be you don’t read this post and find support in places outside of Instagram (like real life medical professionals, credible sources and family) **

I’m not sure what else to say, than what I have already in these slides.

Other than I feel angry. And I wish more people would feel angry too, so we can come together to stand against the resurgence of what are essentially eating disorders being masked as “health”, “optimising life” or “attractive”.

We spent so long, building back after the first wave of this trend of smaller at all costs. Finding our worth in other ways. Learning how to respect our bodies, finding value in things other than appearance and a lot of us regaining a glimmer of spark.

If one person takes something from this post. I’ve succeeded. If one person talks to me and their viewpoint changes, I’ve succeeded. Or it makes someone pause and reconsider their actions. If anybody decides to reach out for further support, off the back of reading my experience? 🤞🏼

It’s about time, that we challenged these societal pressures, ridiculous FADS and finally stopped living life like we can fix them everything by taking up less space.

That women realised their worth.
That people understood bodies are not trends.
That we finally stop commenting on other people’s bodies.
Our copying what we see online.
Believing what we read without context or credibility.

That eating disorders are not a hashtag, or something to share online for likes.

Or maybe that we notice what’s happening, the language appearing again and collectively decide enough is enough 🤝
