9th Jan > This morning (22/05)
Started at 97.8 on the 5th of Jan, we are officially 20kg down and weighed in at 77.8kg this morning! Unreal.
Super happy with this especially after two weeks where my wait has been fluctuating and not really shifting.
Major thanks to .louise.fit for keeping me on track.
We’ve still got work to do. Another 10kgs or so and maybe we’ll be ready to bulk - really pack on some muscle and build my lifts up.

June 2025 - fastest ever 5km at 45:11.
2026 - never ran sub 45 - 26th April 43:47, then again 7th May 41:52. Thinking maybe Sub 40 in a few weeks time.
14th May - unplanned 5km. 38:02. Insane.
I have the EMF 5km on Saturday. The only goal is to beat last year’s time of 49:31 (hopefully I can go sub 45 though)

Nov 23 - Apr 13 24 - Apr 13 26
103+ kg - 96.5kg - 80.85kg

Progress isn’t linear, and it isn’t always quick. I started this year back at 97.8kg, heavier than I was this time two years ago. But now I’m lighter than I’ve been in 5 years, stronger than I’ve ever been, and with a far better understanding of how to eat, train and work with my body.
There’s 20+ kgs between those first pictures and the last ones. There’s also a lot of lifts, injuries, set backs and life lived between them.
I’m not done yet. I have more fat loss to go, and then we enter the build phase where I get super strong. Wouldn’t be where I’m at without the initial support or and now the support of .louise.fit who has been incredible this year.

Get booked in today! Or just come say hi and ask me anything while you’re in the gym.

I’m choosing strong. I’m choosing powerful.
Constantly in awe of women like who show us that our bodies are capable of incredible things, who set the standard, who preach that strength, that speed, that health are so much more important than what our bodies look like when we achieve great things. Strength, Power and Beauty can coexist.
If you want to embrace this too, get in touch today.

Second Parkrun back and my Aunt’s very first - she’s visiting and decided to do her inaugural Parkrun in a place that means so much to her, as she spent much of her childhood around the Crichton. She did an incredible time of 43 minutes.

After my Bench success on Monday I decided to push it again today - we’re building towards 60kg (despite me feeling very run down tonight).
The first clip is 57.5kg which is a PB and felt like it moved pretty well. The second clip is 60kg - I am not counting this as a successful rep because Hailie had to support in the middle there but it moved reasonably well until then and after we got past the sticking point.
60kg is so close I can taste it.
