Hereās how I wiggled on anyway
Happy Monday my nobbly lil gnome
Last week?
A fucking shit show.
Had 735 tabs open and struggled to close a single one.
Tried to record content? Microphone packed in.
Car broke down (serves me right for bigging her up last week. The bastard)
Cat violently shat on the floor a few days in a row. Anxiety up not knowing what the devil is up with our lil man.
Rounded off with a fanny punching panic attack come Friday.
The weekend gave me two things I desperately needed: breathing room & a reminder that Iām not a lost little goose.

In Nov-Jan just gone I put my life on hold to build a cute lil training app
And as fucking cute as it is with telling you how many animals you lift each session,
Designing the programs. Recording + editing 100s of videos. Building the back end and learning to build automations??? All on top of keeping up with content, coaching 100 people a week, not being a shit person and washing my poxy hair.
It almost broke me.
All I could focus on was the app, and my health suffered.
My steps dropped to barely existing levels.
My training was inconsistent.
My bank statement looked like I was giving aid to bloody Nandos
But hereās the difference now: even when this week turned into a flaming bin fire, I still trained. I still walked. I still ate like someone who gives a fuck about her body.
Not because Iām suddenly bursting with motivation.
But because I became a stubborn little dickhead when ādoing something over nothingā
It didnāt happen over night, but Iāve been building my systems up over the last 7 months with non-negotiables.
I start the day with a walk (yes, even when I feel like a stale crumpet)
I eat the same 1-2 breakfasts and lunches every day because as much as it can get a lil boring, it works and I donāt have to think.
Dinners? I have a loose calorie target to wiggle in.
Trainingās scheduled into my calendar. I aim to always do just the first 5 minutes.
None of itās fancy. None of itās perfect. But it keeps me afloat.
And thatās the point.
The difference between past-me and now-me isnāt some glow-up in willpower and motivation.
Itās the fact that when motivation has fallen out of my rectum, my systems keep me wiggling anyway.
And thatās a non-scale victory thatās hard as hell to achieve, but erotic as fuck when itās working.
Thatās what we build inside 1-1 coachingā¦
Systems that work when life pisses on your cheerios.
Support so you get the gentle butt tap when youāre struggling to do it alone.
A structure that doesnāt fall apart the second your week does.
So if youāre sick of starting over every time life kicks you in the tits - maybe itās time to build something that actually lasts.
Our 1-1 coaching isnāt magic. But it is the most effective, hand-holding, excuse-shattering support system youāve probably never had.
So if you bring the mess.
Weāll bring the plan.
Big love
