Morning everyone, my life feels so busy all of a sudden. Since getting my place with the national autistic society for the London marathon I have now got to 5 miles. Tomorrow I need to do at least 5 and a half to stay on track. I'm also doing strength training, mobility sessions and 2 other shorter runs. I have to take my kids on the bus to school still and pick them up later, so what I do on my long run is run home from the school drop off which is a really good way of doing lots of miles early as we get there at 8:05. Hope you all are doing well x

I’ve just checked in on my progress and I’m really happy. Scales moving in the right direction, sleeping better and feeling stronger. I can also see results in my progress photos. Weekends are always the toughest to be consistent but we’ve made it 💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻 Hope you’re all smashing it too - have a great week 🏋️‍♀️

Yeh you 'eard me. Had my aerial hoop photoshoot on Saturday, and while I'd hoped to be around 75kg or a bit more if I'd been smashing aerial training and the gym as I'd planned to, my mental health had other ideas. Those who've met me at live events have seen me weighing the dot before the drop. What comes after is my brain telling me food is inedible (it's not an eating disorder I really, really wanted to eat 😂) brought on by extreme anxiety and burnout from swallowing my grief until I'd organised and got through my Dad's funeral. It's going here because, it wasn't my 1st rodeo but I handled this in a way I'm so proud of, and I wanted to share in case it helps someone else. In addition to seeking medical advice... - I saw the signs & told my friends what was about to happen and admitted I needed their help. (I do not ask for help ...this terrified them, but they were AMAZING 🥹) - I used tricks I'd learned previously to get high calorie liquids in (condensed milk is the shizz 🤤) - I got the fuck off of social media until I felt less overwhelmed & was putting on weight. (No thinspiration will come from me) - I maintained the good habits I could, wake up time, gym sessions, creatine, collagen, bed time routine. - I couldn't emotionally eat as a coping mechanism but did you know you can choose to focus on pretty much anything? Healthiest choice yet (Super proud of this one -Korean skincare ask me how!) - I took my time and dealt with this with kindness not frustration. (1st time for everything!) Bad things happen, you can pretend they didn't, or invalidate your feelings by telling yourself someone else has got it worse, but sooner or later you have to sit with them or deal with the consequences of not. So second picture is a quick changing room snap from photoshoot day, not as toned and muscular as I'd hoped but healthy. Physically & mentally. 💪 (Apologies this complexion is made for candlelight and sunsets, not fluorescents!)

The summer holidays are always hard for me as it's me with my two autistic kids 24/7,but I still managed to get out 3 times a week for a 2 mile run before my husband went to work, did 8,000 steps a day and I just about manage to get through the end of year 6 with my son🥴 Things feel better now...and I have some awesome news...I got in to The London Marathon!!!!! I'm running for The National Autistic Society!!!! Gulp...I'm on 3 miles...I will be doing 26 in April 🥴so I'm getting back to look after me. I'm so excited but so nervous too. Hope you all are well x

How is everyone doing? Hope you're all ok. It's a little quiet on here these days... @Jamie Bigg sort it out 😄 I know we're all busy balancing everything life throws at us. Thought I would share my progress with you all in hopes it inspires someone a little or gives someone a reminder that we can do this 💪 I have lost more weight and got the composition on track now to where I want to be going forward, overall bio age is down further and my fitness and strength is now something I am proud of 💪 because I know the work I've put in to get here (still work to do obviously as it's a lifelong commitment now 👊 and I'm not where I want to be yet!). But the thing I am most surprised about is how much I love that my veins have started popping 😂 never thought I'd say that 🤣 I've still been working on mobility and flexibility and now added balance into the mix as well. I have set myself new little goals for this as it's always good to have a target in mind. If I don't have a target or a goal I find I get complacent or feel stuck. What new targets/goals have you guys set yourselves?! 🎯
