š£ āThe pen is blueā
Liar Liar progress on fire?
Well hello my luscious little lemon drizzle cake.
So there I was on Saturday night, in my garden with Liar Liar projecting onto a bedsheet I used as a makeshift screen (which worked better than I thought).
And there's this scene where Fletcher (Jim's character) literally cannot tell a lie because of his son's birthday wish.
He's in court holding a blue pen and needs to lie about its colour to win his case.
"The pen is redā!
He declares confidently.
But he knows something is wrong when he sees everyone in the courtroom looking at him like he just admitted to drinking his Mums bathwater.
See, he thought he declared the pen was red.
But what he actually said was "The pen is blueā!
So he tries again, this time with more conviction.
"The pen is blue"!
"The pen is BLUE"!
By the third attempt, the man is having what can only be described as a full blown melt down.
All because he can't lie about the colour of a bloody biro.
Which sounds ridiculous.
But how many blue biro moments would you have if you were under the same spell as Fletcher?
šššššš
Chances are you wouldnāt be able to say any of theseā¦
"I don't really have time to work outā.
"I'll get back on it next week when things calm downā.
"I just need to be more disciplinedā.
Look, I hope you know by now that thereās zero fucking judgement from me here.
But this is what we help our clients overcome when they start working with us.
Because hereās the nipple twisting truthā¦
A part of you knows thereās a way around these excuses no matter how valid they are.
Because ādonāt have time to work outā means you donāt have time to hit the gym four times a week.
Which is fair fucks.
But what about some home workouts and one or two gym sessions?
Because if you genuinely didn't care about getting stronger, feeling better in your body, or having more energy?
I donāt think youād be reading my ramblings right now.
The truth is, you do want to change.
You do want to feel capable and strong.
You do want to stop feeling knackered all the time.
And saying otherwise is keeping you stuck.
Because here's what I've learned after years of coaching women who've been lying to themselves about this stuff:
The reason you're not making progress isn't because you're lazy or lack willpower.
It's because you're scared.
Scared of failing again.
Scared of looking like a tit in the gym.
Scared of starting something you might not finish.
So you tell yourself it doesn't matter instead.
But that fear? It makes perfect sense.
And admitting you want something doesn't make you weak - it makes you honest.
And honesty is where real change actually begins.
You don't need to overhaul your entire life overnight.
You don't need to become a completely different person by Monday.
You just need to stop pretending the pen is red when it's clearly fucking blue.
And then take one real, manageable step forward.

Look at what this legend had to say about her experienceā¦
āI love that there is a program in there for me⦠someone who was sticking to the treadmill at the gym (if I showed up at all). I just finished the 8 week beginner program and it was so rewarding to see my strength improve with more reps and more weight over the weeks (I love that it tracks that).
Itās helping me show up. I love that it tells me funny things like how many kangaroos I lifted. It makes me smile (after cursing about split squats lol). Such a good investment in myselfā. āāāāā
The next round of BYB is opening soon.
And BITS members get exclusive first access to those spots.
Last time we opened BYB? All the spots were snapped up by BITS Baddies before we even went public.
