Week 5 of the mini cut and I am UP 2kg..

All training sessions and steps ticked off…

But 5 times eating out (leaving meal, twice the day I handed my keys back / checked into the hotel + twice when I arrived in Bali) 4 of them not mindful choices.

It took until Friday to see my lowest weigh in of the cut again, after seeing it for the first time on Monday and then big fluctuations over the weekend after non mindful meals out and flying (could be holding onto some water but also very likely the meals out too!)

Life happens at times. If this was a regular week for me in the cut, yeah sure.. I wouldn’t make any long term progress. But it’s not a regular week for me.

So today, (not waiting until Monday!) we’re back to tracking and being mindful with nutrition choices when eating out in Bali!

No changes needed to be made to what I’m doing for the week ahead… just cut out the non mindful meals out and that will put me back into my deficit!

If you really don’t like that thick milky protein shake texture post training, Happy Way Vegan Protein Water will save yoooo ass!!

This Sour Green Apple flavour is super refreshing post workout and the easiest 20g protein you will get in your day because it just tastes like juice!

They currently have a limited edition sale on where you can save 15% with LIMIT15.

You can shop via the link bio and make sure you grab the Lychee flavour too, both flavours are to die for!!🤤

Should you be doing HIIT or strength training to get the best results from your calorie deficit?

As requested, what I have been eating the last 2 weeks to drop 2kg✂️

To be honest, this is my diet not in a fat loss phase as well!

I usually stick to the same or very similar meals, just adjust portion sizes as needed.

Sticking to the basics work and it’s one less thing for me to think about day to day.

We all know that you eating the exact same as me won’t produce the same result, however.. this is to show you that you don’t have to only eat dust and salad to get results🫶🏽

My goals 6 months ago were to fly business class and get a dream apartment in Australia, I did both.

Then in January, I set my goals for the year.. growing my business to 50+ clients and hiring a second coach.

A few weeks later, I went for a hike with a friend and I had a penny drop moment.

I realised the things I’d been chasing, the goals I had set, weren’t actually MY version of success.

I don’t want this big dream apartment. I don’t care about a business class flight. Nor do I want to build my business to 50+ clients and hire another coach.

I realised I’d been chasing a version of success that society deems as success and not actually my version of success.

I value freedom and simplicity.

I am genuinely happy with all my stuff fitting into a suitcase, coaching women who value long term growth and seeing the world as I go. I don’t want to feel tied to one place or trapped in society’s idea of what sucees should look like.

So I spent some time refining what success actually means to me.

It’s a calm nervous system, a healthy body, a quiet mind, less but deep relationships, having the space to coach driven women in a way that feels personal and the freedom to move through the world freely as I desire ❤️

I don’t want to build a life that looks successful from the outside if it pulls me away from the way I actually want to live my life.

It’s mad how you can make one decision to pull yourself out of being in a place you’re not happy in and then within 3 weeks, your body is like YEP THANK YOU, THAT WAS THE RIGHT DESCISION.

My period coming back, of course. I have never felt so happy about this.

But also, just being able to think straight again, feeling more calm and present and like a human rather than a zombie.

As women, losing your period is not normal and it’s not healthy, whatever the situation. I’d never experienced something like this before, but now coming out of the other side of these past 4 months, it’s definitely been eye opening.

If your body is trying to tell you something, don’t ignore it.. listen. Make a change 🤍

I’m starting to come out of the other side of this now and can see the light at the end of the tunnel 🤍✨

Key word occasional….

1- get friends that SUPPORT your goals. Instead of asking me out for dinner, my friend asked “how much longer are you cutting for” ..

2- portion control is everything, you don’t have to “get your moneys worth” and finish your meal if it leaves you feeling like you’ve overate, the money is gone either way. Also please remember, your portion may look different to someone else’s portion and that’s ok! In my case, I ate more than my friend but after years of learning, I know my body and it’s needs and I require a lot of food still … yessss, even if I am cutting!

3- prioritise protein always, during the meal and throughout the day too. If you can, stick to simple ingredients foods over processed foods (not always an option)

4- be ok to make some sacrifices, even if you don’t want to.. I would have LOVED to have smashed some ice cream after this, but for what? 5 minutes of happiness and another 500 calories added on to the day for the sake of it. It’s a short term sacricce I am happy to make if it means making progress toward my goal that week.

5- ensure you still eat during the day but adapt your meals to save your more calories for dinner, and/or push your meal timings back so you’re not going into the meal out starving hungry.

I personally don’t bother tracking the occasional meal out because you’ll never know exact the number of calories you consumed, so I just eat it and move on from it.

These are just some of the methods we teach inside .fitness ❤️
