Sunday morning reminder ❤️

Behaviour change, lifestyle change, diet change or any kind of change that is genuine and sustainable requires you to be involved and engaged in the journey of development. I think we all know it, nothing magically happens and it’s most likely an uncomfortable process getting there. If you desire change, think about what you need to unlearn just as much as you need to learn. And most importantly, give yourself bucket loads of self compassion ✨❤️

I am not immune to diet culture. When I look back at the blurry and frustrating path that has led me to where I am today...I exhale in pure relief that I am no long at its mercy. Am I completely free from diet culture? No. I am mostly free. I still have days (usually close to when I’m PMS’ing) that I hold onto my bloated crampy belly and feel fat, wishing for a leaner version of me, of which I have been. I sit. I sit with these thoughts. I acknowledge them and recognise where they stem from. I am allowed to feel this way without shame. Today, I can feel these emotions without direct access to attack my self worth or how I feel about my body as a whole. I feel with a perspective now I did not have growing up. A fondness and admiration for all that my body is and the incredible, unconditional feat it performs for my existence. I wish I could pinpoint the day my relationship with food changed, when it was no longer a calorie, no longer a fear, no longer a regret, no longer fattening, no longer naughty, no longer confusing. I am thankful for the day I decided to learn about nutrition, but what truly transformed my life was finding and healing my relationship with food by breaking down all the years of diet culture beliefs. I have found my purpose ✨

My new chapter: life update! 🤩

This pic was taken during lockdown 2.0 and I thought it was a good representation of the new life chapter I’m embarking on - HEAD DOWN! 🤓

👩🏻‍🎓I explained in my stories yday that I’ve decided to go back to school and do a masters in nutritional science to take my knowledge and expertise to the next level. That means, I’ll be spending a lot of time head down studying! Following my passion makes me so happy and I can’t wait to share with you what I learn!

👩🏻‍💼Along with this (because I’m crazy and love to kill myself) I’m jumping back into my previous career in marketing, full time. I miss working with a team and being a part of a company!

👩🏻‍💻 Aaand, I’ll still be coaching my clients!! Albeit at a lower level of course.

✨I’ve always been quite fearless with life changes. For me, it’s exciting! It means I’m growing, changing, I’m living.❤️✨

Body fat is not always a true judge of health. Leaner does not always mean healthier.

One could be very ill, suffer from disordered eating, severe lack of energy and erratic mood swings... yet they might have a “perfect body” on the outside.

We need to shift our perception of health beyond physical appearance, body fat / BMI.

We need to stop making assumptions about other people’s health based on what they look like.

So a reminder today: leaner is not always healthier. Let’s allow ourselves to acknowledge and merit health holistically ♥️

B R A I N. P O W E R. 🧠🔌💪

Fuel your brain with these slow releasing carbohydrates:

1. Whole grains and whole wheat - oats, quinoa, bulgar, barley, bran, brown rice, brown pasta, brown bread.

2. Starchy vegetables - potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, butternut squash (all squashes), yam, beans, chickpeas and lentils

3. Fruit - banana, apples, oranges, strawberries / berries, watermelon /melons, peaches, plums and dried fruit (in small quantities)

Your brain needs a lot of energy and without it, you're more prone to feeling brain fog, irritable, moody and lack concentration. Avoid skipping meals and avoid using stimulants to keep going as these spike blood sugar and put stress on the body.

Focus on whole foods that are rich in fibre for that slow, steady stream of energy.

Every cell in the body has a circadian clock, pretty amazing! Even outside of the body in a petri dish, they'll still function on a 24 hour cycle.

Respecting the natural rhythm of your body's circadian clocks can do wonders for your health.

Keeping a regular routine with your sleep, meal times and getting that natural sunlight every day are key.

It's not always realistic to stick to a regular routine ALL the time. But trying your best to maintain regularity MOST of the time can really support your health.

What can you do to keep your circadian rhythm? Mine is avoid going to bed late! Still working on that...

I threw a bit of a strop this morning when I realised I had no oats left 😂😨 My partner and I have our own because I prefer quick oats and he prefers old fashioned and recently bought a batch of steel cut oats which I’m not a fan of.

But in desperate circumstances I decided to give them a go but cooked them for 3 times longer in the pressure cooker (8 mins on porridge setting) and it came out soooo lovely, soft and yummy!

Lesson of the day? If you don’t like something often it’s how it was cooked and you’ll often find a way of enjoying most foods.

Ingredients used: steel cut oats, soya milk & water, frozen Berry chia jam (homemade), banana, cinnamon, **p h**p seeds, pumpkin seeds, crunchy peanut butter and maple syrup (ran out of honey)

What’s something you used to hate and now enjoy???

Reminder: Hunger is totally N O R M A L!

Hunger is a very natural bodily response, just like you needing to p*e when your bladder is full, or falling asleep when you're tired. You're not broken for feeling hungry a little more often than you would want to be.

However, there are various behaviours and mindsets that may provoke hunger.

Ultimately, everyone is unique, everyone's energy requirements are not only different but it's very natural to fluctuate day to day, week to week and month to month.

Whoever needs to hear this today, there is nothing wrong with hunger ❤️
