Where I am right now.
I’m currently carrying more weight than I’m comfortable with after a long season of stress and overwhelm. I work 7 days a week, fatigue crept in, portions increased, movement decreased, and food became a coping tool rather than fuel.
Oh and perimenopause is kicking my ass!!
Alongside that, I’ve been navigating some health stuff- a complex ovarian cyst with surgery booked to remove the o***y. There have been blood tests, scans, and a lot of waiting. The good news: my blood tests show cancer markers are low, which means it’s m ost likely a benign cyst. That alone has brought a huge sense of relief. 💛
Where I’m going.
I want to feel strong, fit, and supported in my body - especially going into surgery and recovery. Long term, I want strength, mobility, and resilience as I age. Not just to “look fit,” but to live well, reduce injury risk, support my hormones and metabolism, and stay capable and independent.
Why this matters to me.
Because health is the foundation for everything else. Because I want to recover well, move confidently, and build a body that supports my life, not fights it.
How I’m doing it.
Not perfectly. But consistently.
✔️ Regular meals prioritizing protein
✔️ Portion awareness (without restriction)
✔️ Strength training + daily walking
✔️ Prioritising sleep and recovery
✔️ Using non-food tools to manage stress
✔️ drinking water
This isn’t a “quick fix” phase. It’s a rebuild.
I’m sharing this journey openly - the wins, the setbacks, the learning - because real change doesn’t happen in isolation, and it doesn’t require perfection.
Just consistency.
Just showing up.
Just doing what you can, with what you have, where you are.
If you’re on your own back to fit journey, you’re not alone, and you don’t need to have it all figured out to start. 💪
