We are here to help women understand their bodies better and learn how to support themselves. Part of that journey is becoming more aware, tuning in, and listening to the signs your body is giving you. Don’t ignore them. Work with your body, not against it. Be a team. Dehydration isn’t always obvious. You don’t have to feel extremely thirsty to be dehydrated. Some of the signs can be quite subtle, so it’s worth paying attention to what your body is telling you. Common signs of dehydration can include: - Feeling thirsty or having a dry mouth - Dry, tight or less elastic skin - Headaches - Feeling tired, flat or low in energy - Brain fog or difficulty concentrating - Dizziness or feeling light-headed - Dark yellow urine or urinating less often - Constipation or harder stools - Feeling hungry when you may actually be thirsty - Muscle cramps or weakness - Feeling overheated more easily - Bad breath - Dry lips, dry eyes, dull hair - Feeling your heart beating faster than usual, especially when you’re hot or active And remember, your fluid needs can increase with exercise, hot weather, sweating, travel, illness and alcohol. One simple habit I encourage is to keep water with you throughout the day rather than waiting until you feel very thirsty. Your body is constantly giving you signals. Learning to recognise them is an important part of looking after your health. So tell me honestly, how much water do you drink lately? I admit, I have to constantly remind myself.

Let’s do a quick check-in... First of all, are we actually eating breakfast? And secondly, are we making an effort to get some good protein in? I know this is such an important step for my own day. When I have a proper breakfast with enough protein, I notice such a difference in my energy. I work from home and I need to stay focused and productive, and I’m not sitting there thinking about snacks when lunchtime is still hours away. And I know how easy it is to start something well, keep it going for a few weeks, and then slowly start forgetting about it. It’s completely human. Life gets busy, routines change, and suddenly the good habits we were doing without thinking start slipping away. So if that’s you, take this as a little reminder rather than something to feel guilty about. You can simply start again tomorrow. It doesn’t have to be complicated - few eggs, adding protein powder, some healthy ham or even dinner leftovers. It really does shape your day. So, let’s check in: What did you have for breakfast today? Did you eat breakfast at all? And bonus question...where was the protein?

Watch this now if you experience overwhelm during your health journey or here in the community. Overwhelm is our enemy, so learn to notice it, then adjust and support yourself when it shows up. Are you feeling overwhelmed right now? What helps you come back to feeling more settled? Share below so we can learn from each other and help each other out.

So this is what I do, super quick and simple and frees up a lot of time we spend on cooking meals. I chop the pumpkin in half, drizzle olive oil and leave it air fryer for 25 min 200 C. This pumpkin will be used over couple of days for different meals. And it is so much easier to cut into pieces once it is cooked. This pumpkin will get used in : - Breakfasts - fry it with eggs, add a hummus dip, some salmon etc etc - Lunches - chop it up and make it into a salad using rocket salad, minced meat that can be dinner leftover and sprinkle with some seeds. - Dinners - with steak, baked fish, chicken wings etc etc No recipe required And if I still have any leftover, it goes into quiches, baking some slices, or even into a smoothie. Next time do the same with eggplant, bunch of zucchinis, sweet potato, capsicums etc etc. The whole idea is that you have some form of a vegetable prepped in one go, no chopping, cleaning, switching on off the appliances, fluffing around in the kitchen etc etc. And the best part is, we don't have to babysit those vegetables while they are cooking. So I often just put it on with the timer and forget about it until I get back to the kitchen. EFFORTLESS !!!! Now, have you got any short cuts, tips to share, don't keep secrets hahaa ??!!
