🌨️ WINTRY WALKS CHALLENGE – HOW IT WORKS 🌨️

The video explains it all, but here’s the full breakdown so you’re clear on what to do.

1. It’s 10,000 steps a day for the Salvation Army
No pressure to be perfect. As long as your steps average out over the 31 days, that’s absolutely fine. Busy days happen.

2. You don’t need to do all 10,000 outside
Just get outside once a day for a walk. Fresh air, daylight, and a chance to grab your photo.

3. Take a photo while you’re out
This is how we raise awareness and keep it fun. Winter scenes, creative ideas, silly ones, festive ones - it always ends up being a good laugh and it really brightens these dark, cold months.

Use:
📸
📍 Tag
💪 Tag

You don’t need to tag all of them every time, but each photo should have at least one tag so people know why you’re sharing it :)

Post anywhere:
– On the Wintry Walks page
– Your profile
– Your stories
– Wherever you like

4. Donate £10 to enter
You must donate £10 to the JustGiving page and make sure you’ve liked the Wintry Walks page. That’s your official entry.

If you don’t want to take part but still want to donate, we massively appreciate that too. Every bit helps the Salvation Army support people who are out in the cold all winter.

5. Stay safe
Please be safe! we do not expect you to go out in dangerous weather etc! Look after yourselves 🥰

6. Prize draw at the end
Everyone who completes their steps (averaged out) will go into a prize draw at the end of the month.
If anyone wants to donate a prize, even better – more winners, more fun.

This challenge has been brilliant the last couple of years. People get creative, it lifts everyone’s mood through December, and it raises awareness for a really important cause.

🌨️ Challenge starts Monday - can’t wait to see your photos.

5 Signs Your Diet Isn’t Working (Even If You Think It Is in the short term)

1. You’re thinking about food constantly
If you’re hungry, fixated on snacks or always battling cravings, your plan isn’t balanced.

2. Your energy is all over the place
Big afternoon crashes, feeling wired at night or relying on caffeine to get through the day usually means your nutrition isn’t supporting you.

3. You don’t enjoy your meals
If everything feels restrictive, boring or like a chore, it won’t last. Enjoyment matters.

4. You rely on workouts to “cancel out” what you’ve eaten
Training shouldn’t be punishment. If you’re using exercise to undo food choices, the plan isn’t right.

5. You’re under-fuelling your actual life
If you’re dragging through the day, snapping at people, or crashing early every night, you’re not eating enough to support your routine. Your nutrition should make your day easier, not harder.

If even one of these sounds familiar, the problem isn’t you.
It’s the plan.

🔥 ok so this post is a HUGE Shout-Out: for Karen Arthur 🔥

This month marks 3 years since Karen joined Real Fitness - and what a journey she has had.

Before she started, Karen had spent 30 years caring for others, putting everyone else first and just not being in a position to put energy into herself.

When she finally had space to focus on her own health, she took a big step - she signed up for online coaching.

She spent a full year with me online, rebuilding a routine, rebuilding her strength slowly and steadily and creating new healthy habits that focused on Self care...Then she moved into our lifting classes… and thats what has kept the momentum up! Joining a fab little group of gals that show up at 6:30am 💪

And now?
She’s 5.5 stone down 🙌😶‍🌫️
She feels healthier and stronger at 62 than she did at 40.
And she can “carry a 10kg baby around no problem” (her words 💪).

Karen said:
❤️ “Many times I could’ve given up but after 30 years of caring, grief and loss came the space for me to concentrate on myself.”
❤️ “It’s not easy but staying consistent and motivated is key. Lifting club is an important motivator for me now.”
❤️ “I feel healthier and stronger now than when I was 40.”

This is what steady persistence looks like.
Not perfection.
Not a quick fix.
Just showing up — through the hard days, the busy seasons, and the moments she doubted herself.

Karen, you’re loud, proud and strong as F… and
This transformation runs far deeper than the photos - but the photos are pretty Damn incredible as well. 💪🧡

Thanks for choosing us to help you along the journey..its been a pleasure 🙏

Do you struggle to build balanced meals that keep you feeling full throughout the day?

Are you not sure what should be on your plate at mealtime? 🍲

You’re not alone. Most women I work with worry about what to eat and struggle with knowing how to build their meals in a way that meets their dietary needs. Not enough protein, not enough fibre, or the portions are out of balance, which means low energy, cravings and feeling “never quite satisfied.”

A balanced plate fixes that by giving your body what it actually needs:

• steadier energy
• better hunger control
• fewer cravings
• meals that keep you fuller for longer
• a simple structure you can follow anywhere, without tracking or weighing

And the best part?
Any meal can be a balanced meal once you know how to structure your plate properly.

Nothing is off the table.
No restriction.
No cutting out the foods you love.
When you understand how to balance your plate, you can make any meal work for your goals and still enjoy a healthy, satisfying diet that fits real life.

I’ve put everything into a straightforward Balanced Plate CHEAT SHEET that shows you exactly how to build your meals using your hands as your guide.

If you want it, comment BALANCE and I’ll send it over. 🍽️✨

🥓 Simple, satisfying breakfast 🍳

Weekends I like a cooked breakfast

Four rashers of Lidl dry-cured streaky bacon, three scrambled eggs, one slice of seeded multigrain bread, a little Lurpak lighter butter, and medium tomatoes.

👉 Around 550 - 600 kcal
💪 38g protein
🥖 23g carbs
🥑 27g fat
🌿 6g fibre

Protein, colour, fibre, and flavour - proper fuel for the day.
It doesn’t need to be fancy or complicated.
Just real food, in the right portions, that keeps you full and energised.

✨ Strong starts don’t need restriction

Balanced plates 🥰
