You know when you’ve got a sweet tooth and people say “just cut out biscuits and chocolate” like it’s that easy? 🙄 Because if you’re anything like me, sweet treats haven’t just been a phase… they’ve been part of my life for a long, long time. The problem with sugary foods isn’t just the calories – it’s the energy slump that comes after. One biscuit turns into three, then suddenly the whole packet’s gone. Once you pop, you really can’t stop. So instead of trying to rely on willpower (which never worked for me), I did something different. I started making a few high-protein cakes that still feel like a proper treat. No sugar. No fat. And they keep me full for hours. I’ve been eating these almost every day for the last month and honestly… game changer. I don’t even think about the biscuit tin anymore. This is my go-to. My kids love them too, and especially in winter it feels like I’m having something really stodgy and comforting – except it actually works with my goals instead of against them. And here’s the mad part… this is the only thing I’ve changed in the last month. Same meals, same routine. So I can hand on heart say the drop in weight has come from one simple change – swapping mindless sugary snacks for something that actually fuels me. Proof that fat loss doesn’t come from restriction… it comes from smarter swaps 💛 Grab recipe here https://stan.store/cooharvey80_708/p/get-coach-carlys-apple-cinnamon--sultana-cake

But what does shining actually look like for you today? On a Sunday, does it mean: - A slow morning ☕ - Moving your body 💃 - Getting organised for the week 📝 - Or full-on rest with zero guilt 😌 Drop one word or emoji that sums up your Sunday shine 👇

This is very unlike me to be posting I generally hide away and message Carly privately. I feel that I've let myself and Carly down over Christmas I've not made the best choices with food and definitely could of moved more than I have I'm now cross with myself and in a spiral of low mood making the wrong food choices and the damage is done so carry on. This is not a good month for me like many people if I continue in this spiral I will only feel more cross and low. HELP

Right it’s Sunday night! It’s time to Plan the week ahead What are your wins from last week? Where do you need to put your energy this week? Are meals planned? Activity planned?
