Here’s 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 I’m not a lost little goose.

šŸ˜‚

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 here’s 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 I’m suddenly bursting with motivation.

But because I became a stubborn little dickhead when ā€œdoing something over nothingā€

It didn’t happen over night, but I’ve 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 don’t have to think.

  • Dinners? I have a loose calorie target to wiggle in.

  • Training’s scheduled into my calendar. I aim to always do just the first 5 minutes.

None of it’s fancy. None of it’s perfect. But it keeps me afloat.

And that’s the point.

The difference between past-me and now-me isn’t some glow-up in willpower and motivation.

It’s the fact that when motivation has fallen out of my rectum, my systems keep me wiggling anyway.

And that’s a non-scale victory that’s hard as hell to achieve, but erotic as fuck when it’s working.

That’s what we build inside 1-1 coaching…

Systems that work when life pisses on your cheerios. 

Support so you get the gentle butt tap when you’re struggling to do it alone. 

A structure that doesn’t fall apart the second your week does.

So if you’re sick of starting over every time life kicks you in the tits - maybe it’s time to build something that actually lasts.

Our 1-1 coaching isn’t magic. But it is the most effective, hand-holding, excuse-shattering support system you’ve probably never had.

So if you bring the mess. 

We’ll bring the plan.

Big love
