Weighed myself at work yesterday and I've made it to 72kg without losing muscle mass. So pleased and proud of myself as at one point it felt i'd never be able to do it. NEVER give up guys👊🙌🥳

And I'm so fkn proud of how I handled it. Friday started with my CPTSD being triggered at 4 am & despite the day throwing everything at me I stayed positive & laughed it off...right upto getting a call to say a former colleague & friend of 20 years had passed away. The rest of the day was a write off...the next morning hit snooze 3 times, then guilt tripped myself for both. Realised I was getting angry with myself so I didn't have to grieve, and nipped that shit in the bud. Because actually, despite what my inner critic says, I'm allowed to be sad and unproductive once in a while and my usual alternative is unhealthy as fuck. I gave myself permission to hide, making sure my food was comforting but still healthy. That evening I set myself the tiniest most achievable fitness goal I could to tempt me out from my blanket fort. Just do a side plank on each side. Narrator: 'But she did not just do a side plank on each side...' (Apologies loud c#nty music was absolutely required.)

Sorry I haven't been on here too much lately. Half term was🥴 because the week after my son had his school residential and he was so anxious about the sleeping part that most of half term he couldn't sleep so we emailed the school saying we would get him there in the mornings and pick him up at night🫣 Then he went on his trip and loved it so the second day he said he would give sleeping a try on the last night...it wasn't good but at the very least he won't regret not giving it a try. Then on Sunday it was the Worthing 10k...hardest one I have done and the slowest. I'm pretty sure it's perimenopause playing a hand on it, although it was very windy and about half way round I had a massive bumblebee land on me and not want to get off🫣 The main thing I'm taking from the last 2 weeks is that I have not given up. I finished the 10k and I am still hoping I get into the London marathon. And this morning I have asked for a blood test...fingers crossed they let me🤣 Keep going guys! You are all doing so well 🙌🏼 Ps put my song playlist from Worthing 10k for @Rachel Littlewood since she put hers up...mines a little bit like marmite...you either love it or hate it 🤣🙌🏼

✊ Train your grip. Strong hands carry over to every lift and most people ignore them completely. Hang from a bar, carry something heavy, build it.

Fat loss slows down, that doesn’t mean it’s stopped After the first few weeks the dramatic drops disappear. That’s normal. Slower progress is still progress. The people who push through the boring middle are the ones who get results.
