End of last week I made it to the beach at the end of my road.

What’s normally a 20-minute walk there and back… took me 45 minutes.

But I did it.

This is what progress actually looks like.
Not perfect. Not fast. But consistent.

And every day .... I’m getting stronger.

While I’m recovering from surgery, nutrition isn’t optional - it’s essential.

This is where healing starts. Not just rest… but what you fuel your body with every day.

Right now, I’m prioritising protein and focusing on simple, whole foods that support recovery, reduce inflammation, and keep me moving forward - even if progress feels slow.

🍐🍎 Apple, Pear, Walnut & Chicken Salad (Single Serve)

Fresh, nourishing, and exactly what my body needs right now.

You’ll need:
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• ¼ pear, thinly sliced
• ¼ apple, thinly sliced
• 80–100g cooked chicken breast
• 2 tbsp crumbled feta
• 2 tbsp walnuts
• ¼–½ cup crispy chicken noodles (optional)

Caramelised walnuts:
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 tsp honey
• Pinch cinnamon

Dressing:
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• Small pinch Dijon mustard

How to make it:
• Add spinach to a bowl and layer over the apple and pear
• Slice or shred the chicken and add on top
• In a pan, melt butter, then add walnuts, honey, and cinnamon — stir 2–3 mins until glossy, then let cool
• Whisk dressing ingredients together
• Add feta and walnuts, drizzle dressing, and toss gently

Right now, it’s not about perfection. It’s about showing up, fuelling my body, and taking small steps forward every day.

Progress is progress 💛

Day 11 post surgery.

Daily walking is my focus right now.

I’m very slow… but I’m moving. And that’s what matters.

Yesterday I made it to the beach at the end of my road - something so simple, but right now it’s progress.

And I celebrated it.
I acknowledged it.
I praised myself for it.

Because this phase isn’t about pushing harder - it’s about rebuilding properly.

Small steps. Daily progress.

That’s how we come back stronger.

Last week, I had surgery and was officially diagnosed with Endometriosis- a condition that causes chronic pain, fatigue, and can make everyday life feel overwhelming.

For years, I experienced discomfort, uncertainty, and the frustration of not having answers and told it was everything but..

Many people with this condition face similar struggles, often feeling dismissed or unheard.

But I trusted my body.

I listened to my gut.

And I kept advocating for myself.

What I had been pushing through, normalising, and putting down to “just symptoms”… and being told was everything but… was actually much deeper.

During surgery, they:

Removed endometriosis stage 3-4 and scar tissue
Removed my right o***y and fallopian tube
Freed the tubes from my kidneys that were being affected
Repositioned my left o***y
Inserted a Mirena to help manage it going forward

It’s a complex, systemic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, creating inflammation, adhesions, and chronic pain. It can affect fertility, energy levels, and mental health - often quietly, without visible symptoms.

What I’ve learned:
✨ Trust your body — even when no one else believes your pain
✨ Persistence matters — seeking answers can be exhausting, but it’s worth it
✨ Advocacy is essential — don’t give up. Keep pushing for answers. You don’t have to accept or settle for what you’re told. Seek to understand and treat the cause, not just the symptoms

Reflection:
How often do we ignore subtle signals from our bodies?
How often do we push through pain instead of asking, “What is my body trying to tell me?”

Call to presence:
Check in with yourself today.
Notice what’s there.
Validate it. Listen. Respond.

Your body is your guide - always.

I love walking down to the beach at night, listening to the waves crash on the sand. There’s something about that calmness that just resets everything.

Some days are harder to get it done than others. Especially after a long day of work. Integrity - doing what i said i was going to do.

I’ve watched and waited, and I can confidently say these weights are not going to lift themselves. The only way through it is to do it.

Some of the crew back training together again 💪💛

We first met around 2018 when I was personal training and coaching BoxFit classes at Key Fitness. From there, these amazing women became my workout buddies , and so much more.

They’ve supported me through every stage of my training. It never mattered what I was doing; they showed up, backed me, and stuck by me through it all.

The closure of Key Fitness hit us hard (and honestly, it still does). We all went our separate ways for a while, but now we’ve come back together, joined another gym, and picked up right where we left off.

They continue to motivate me, challenge me, and push me to be the best version of myself.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it ❤️

Integrity is the certainty that you will do what you say you’ll do - especially the promises you make to yourself.

I committed to 10,000 steps a day , even with rain rolling in, has it been easy? No. Did i do it? Yes. That’s integrity.

I got out for a walk last night just before the storm hit. A bit of rain, a bit of thunder, but we headed back once the lightning started.

So grateful my son joined me ❤️

Sometimes it’s not about perfect conditions - it’s about keeping your word.

Are you showing integrity - especially to yourself?

Back in the office this week and locking in new routines.
These are my favourite high-protein, no-stress go-to meals when life is busy… or I’m just too lazy to cook 🤣
