đŁ Are you ready to fail?
Let's fix that
Summer is being a flirty little mistress right now because the countdown is ON
And I bet my right tittie a few of you have a list called âTIME TO SORT OUR SHIT OUTâ chilling in your notes app
I imagine it might look like this:
Set alarm for 5:45am
Be at gym 3 times a week by 7:30am
Whip up lunch the night before
Batch cook every Sunday
Eliminate ALL oral joy
NO PUDS
Admirable, yes
But we both know itâs going to last about as long as a D-cup bra from Shein
Sure, when youâre blessed by the goddesses of motivation this list feels hella doable
Cos you see people online doing this shit ALL the time in their fucking âday in the lifeâ videos
So you tell yourself
Itâs what you have to do to see results
You want it more this time, so youâll push yourself through it
But by week three, youâre a human on the edge.
Snoozing the alarm because you are (and always will be) allergic to early starts
Meal prep? Whoâs cocking idea was that?
Hiding from Julie at the office because sheâs peddling some fucking fairy cakes
Turns out this perfect regime youâve designed for yourself is a nightmare to bloody live
So you chuck it directly in the bin
(again)
The answer to break the cycle my lovely lil currywurst?
Build a routine that works for you, and learn to fail forwards.
This was the key difference for our client Rachel.
Not only does she have an elite name, but sheâs been working hard on Blitz your Bits, our online group program for the last year
And, with us, everything clicked:

Rachel was stuck in a cycle of adopting a new regime and ditching it
And working with coach Sophia, we built a routine that succeeded where her Instagram âinspoâ advice had failed
We did this in two ways
First, we worked with her to build systems that fit around her life
Rachel started with work outs from home, because she found the gym overwhelming
We got her steps up to 7-8k, because 10k wasnât possible around a long day in the office midweek
We built up a base of meals that were on the table in under half an hour, that felt doable even when she was knackered
AND we structured her callie D so there was more wiggle room on the weekends, meaning she could have a glass of savvy B with the gals
Smaller, manageable adjustments that added up to real change over time
Second, we learned to mentally manage whoospies
When she did give into one of dickhead Julieâs cheeky bakes, we gave Rachel the tools to stop the spiral
So that instead of hopping from fairy cakes to snacking cheese to a takeaway tea and a tiramisu, she could dodge the fuck it button
Because a bad 15 minutes does not a bad day make
And changing behaviour post fairy cake was crucial in nailing the consistency required to break the cycle
The result?
Rachel failed well, and failed forwards
Rachel did not feel overwhelmed by the changes we made
Rachel got consistent (and embraced imperfection)
Rachel hit her goal of being a strong ass mum. I mean fucking look at her!
