🥑THREE SIMPLE NUTRITION TIPS 🥑

If you are beginning or restarting your health and wellness journey

👉🏻 FOCUS ON YOUR FOUNDATION
Instead of counting calories or macros to start with, focus on creating a solid foundation with the basics. Such as the standard 5 veg and 2 fruit, even though it’s common knowledge you would be surprised at how many people don’t do this. So instead of depriving yourself more than you already are, focus on this to start with.

👉🏻 START BEING CONSISTENT WITH YOUR MAIN MEALS
Getting 3 main meals in a day each with a source of protein is a great place to start.

An example

- eggs and avocado on toast for brekky
- tuna salad sandwich for lunch
- chicken and veg stir fry for dinner

👉🏻 DO NOT USE FOOD AS A REWARD OR EXERCISE AS A PUNISHMENT

Enjoy your favourite foods without guilt, without pressure and without it meaning you need to burn it off. YOU DO NOT NEED TO EXERCISE TO DESERVE FOOD, enjoy your food so you can enjoy taking care of yourself most of the time 🩷

I promise you that your all-or-nothing approach is killing your consistency 🥵

All-or-nothing mentality is expecting to have perfect life conditions, high levels of motivation and absolutely nothing go wrong at all times.

It doesn't allow for life to happen and you to be a human.

And it DESTROYS your self-trust and your relationship with you more and more every time.

Letting go of the all-or-nothing mentality and focusing on creating sustainable lifestyle changes over the space of 1 year could change everything instead of focusing on stop/starting your all-or-nothing mindset 10 times over the space of the year.

So pick 1 to focus on that you know will make the biggest impact and make being consistent with it as realistic as you can.

I'll give you a couple of examples.

1) Want to increase water intake but only drink 1 litre every day and expect yourself to stick with 3 litres.

Bump it up to 1.5 litres and do that for as long as need to be consistent with and when that becomes easy up it to 2 litres.

2) Want to create a morning routine and wake up earlier at 5am but you currently wake up at 7am?

Start at 6:45am and do that for as long as is easy and then slowly progress it as it becomes ingrained

3) Want to work out 5 days a week but currently do not work out?

Start with either 3 days of workouts or start with 5 days of movement with little expectations of what that movement involves, it could be a workout. It could be a walk. Or it could be a yoga class. The idea here is to create the habit of moving your body 5 times a week. Then slowly increase the expectation of what that movement is as 5 days a week as a routine and habit becomes ingrained. (this also makes it way more enjoyable)

Taking this approach, while YES it will take longer to get to any physical goals it will actually create long-term success in your goals because you are creating actual lifestyle changes instead of quick fixes meaning all of the things you are doing are actually ingrained as sustainable habits.

I learnt that there is so much more to women returning to exercise than just getting her GP clearance and going back to the gym and doing what she was previously doing.

I experienced this myself, after having my daughter in 2019 I was cleared for ALL exercises including all ab exercises even after being told I had quite a big abdominal separation. Which is a big no no.

Also was told to “just do pelvic floor exercises (kegals)” even though I later found out from women’s health physio I had an overactive pelvic floor, again another no-no unless instructed otherwise.

And since working with so many postnatal women since then I was so frustrated by the amount of women getting the same kind of general advice and being told they could exercise normally when it wasn’t the best option for them at the time.

Everyone’s body is going to be different.

Please, please PLEASE get the proper clearance is my number 1 piece of advice.

You will eventually be able to move back into normal exercise but it’s better to start slow and safe and prevent problems later on down the track.

If you decide you would like to return to exercise safely after having a baby, once you have had proper clearance please check back with me, I would love to help you move back into exercise safely!

LUMINOUS WELLNESS CLUB ✨

The LWC was created for the woman who struggles with the all-or-nothing mentality and can never stick to her fitness and wellness habits or the promises she makes herself 🫠

She is the one who has tried a million diets and fitness programs but changes never seem to stick and in the process has destroyed her self-belief and self-trust!

Her mindset toward fitness and nutrition isn’t the healthiest and her relationship to herself is struggling massively 😓

These fad diets and compulsive life changes (that are short lived) are usually driven by her lack of confidence, never feeling good enough and thinking her physical appearance is what makes her important. (Clue, it’s not 🙅🏼‍♀️. You’re worthy as you are and we are changing that mindset ASAP)

And to be honest she is just sick and tired of the way her current lifestyle makes her feel 😫

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

As a woman that has been there, done that and suffered through many years of the above things BUT managed to cultivate more self-love, a healthier mindset and created a healthier lifestyle with consistent movement, balanced nutrition and sustainable habits and maintains it with EASE I am here to tell you it’s possible for you too and I want to help you get there! 🫶🏻

If this is something you need help with then PLEASE let me help you! Comment below “LWC” to get started ✨

I believe doing things from an act of self-love and an act of self-care is the answer to creating consistency in your fitness, nutrition and habits ❤️‍🔥

If you are trying to do this from a place of hate for yourself, a desire to change yourself, or a need to “fix” something about yourself then it will be a temporary burst of motivation 😓 It may work short-term, you may stay consistent and even hungry for your goals for a short amount of time but that will eventually wear off leaving your relationship with yourself even worse 😭

If you do things from a place of self-care, you are thinking about your future self. You are looking at improving her lifespan and her health span. You are looking to make sure she feels good, moves well and is healthy for as long as humanely possible🤩

If you are doing things from a place of dislike for yourself, I can tell you from experience..

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

IT WILL NEVER SATISFY OR FIX THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF 🙅‍♀️

Even if you reach your goal weight or dream body the satisfaction will be short-lived. There will always be something more you need to change about yourself.

Of course, it’s fine to have body-centric goals but when you do it from a place of self-love and taking care of your health and well-being you will see that it is just the cherry on top 🍒

There is so much more to getting regular movement in than just changing the way you look…

While you are physically able, you have an incredible opportunity to set your future self up with the best chance possible at having the best health and not only the best health but also giving yourself the freedom of movement with great mobility and flexibility for as long as possible ✨

🚫 A lot of people only think about the way it helps them right now because we expect instant gratification or something you will see sooner rather than later. How will this make me look in 1 week, 3 months, 6 months….

🤯But what if you thought about watching your children grow up, being at their graduation, seeing your daughter down the aisle, watching them become parents, achieve careers, watching your grandchildren grow up and possibly even your great-grandchildren. I don’t know about you but that all makes me want to be as healthy and able for as long as I possibly can!

I can tell you now, that your children are not going to care if you have abs or round glutes. But they will care about you sticking around and not only sticking around but being as healthy and mobile as possible 🤔

While of course no matter how much you take care of yourself it’s still not guaranteed, wouldn’t you want to give yourself the best chance possible to experience all these things?Just something to think about, this is what helps me personally to keep the ball rolling…

What we are about!

Living luminously is about so much more then lifting weights and getting your heart rate up. It’s about being grateful for your body and giving back to yourself by moving it.

It’s about being aware of the thoughts you tell yourself like you’re not good enough and learning to replace it with more positive thoughts. It’s about being confident and happy In your own skin without comparing yourself to someone else. It’s about being apart of a support network and becoming like a family with the girls you work along side with!
