This is going to be a super vulnerable post on weight, weight loss and all of that related stuff. To be honest this is a bit of a mind dump of things that have been swimming around in my head for the last few weeks. As usual I hope by sharing this, some of you who may...

Healing my body and getting back to health
As much as we’d all love to be perfectly healthy all of the time, sometimes we find that our body becomes vulnerable and gets ill. Sometimes it gets ill again, and again. There’s no doubt it totally sucks, however it’s a big sign from your body that something needs to...
A simple way to make your goals more achievable
Are you a goal setter? I most certainly am, and probably a chronic goal setter if I'm honest. However I do get a lot of shit done and I really do thank my goal setting personality for that! Did you know that the most successful people are the ones that set goals...

What’s your excuse? Overcoming your barriers
At the end of last year I did my usual ‘What the hell is going on in my life right now and what do I want to do with it?’ review and I realised that my life had started to fill up with lots of excuses. Excuses with why I couldn’t work out, why I couldn’t meal plan or...
