😮‍💨ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!😮‍💨

🎂If you don’t already know this is Julie Marshall , and for her 50th birthday she decided that she was going to do something a little different🎂

🎖️We were talking about all of her achievements over the years, Julie doing three 100 mile marathons, doing 54 marathons in total and being the Belfast 24, Victoria Park, Northern Ireland and Ulster 100 mile female champion🎖️

🏅So we decided to add another one to the list!🏅

🤕Julie first started coming to me in September 2024 after suffering an injury that stopped her from running🤕

⏩Fast forward to now⏩

📸We have only just gone and done a photoshoot!📸

💪🏼I think we’ve officially changed her from a runner into a muscle mummy💪🏼

😅But this hasn’t been easy😅

🤪Julie has had to juggle a full-time job, being a mum to a full house, helping and caring for family, bringing her prep meals to events and social gatherings, and even having to leave the room whenever the not so little ones were making food🤪

🥲There have been sacrifices
There have been difficult days
There have been plenty of moments where it would have been easier to just say I’m done🥲

‼️But she didn’t‼️

💯Because Julie is someone who when she sets her mind to something, is 200% ALL IN💯

😍And the pictures speak for themselves😍

💜She wanted to look good
She wanted to feel good
But most importantly she wanted to get her confidence back💜

🔥THIS. IS. WHAT. SHE. DID. 🔥

💭This is something Julie never imagined herself doing💭

🥰Julie, I’m genuinely over the moon for you, I’m so proud to have been there beside you throughout this entire journey and to watch you push through every obstacle that came your way🥰

❤️You’ve absolutely smashed it❤️

🙏🏼Thank you Julie!🙏🏼

🤷🏼‍♂️I think I finally realised what balance really is🤷🏼‍♂️

☀️Over the summer I’ve realised how much things changed around me and how much I have changed myself☀️

🥱To any current or past clients I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about this. To anyone having a little nosey let me tell you, I was always tired and how I was doing one thing, straight into another all day everyday. I just couldn’t keep myself still🥱

🫨For a long time it has always been work, work, work🫨

😮‍💨Training clients & myself, planning ahead, diet plans, dieting myself. On top of trying to grow the business. I always felt like I should be doing something😮‍💨

🙅🏼‍♂️It simply wasn’t working for me🙅🏼‍♂️

🤗But this summer has been different🤗

👌🏼I still worked hard, trained, looked after my diet & seen Arcadia. But! I’ve also spent a lot more time with family. I’ve gone out, enjoyed myself, sunned myself, eaten and drank more than I’d like to admit and I’ve had days where I’ve done absolutely bu**er all👌🏼

😅And honestly?😅

📴It’s been really nice to just turn off even if it was for a little bit📴

🤔I think that sometimes, especially in the fitness industry we are all a little convinced that disciplined means saying no to everything🤔

❌No nights out❌
❌No meals out❌
❌No time off❌
❌And no enjoying yourself❌

🚨THAT ISN’T BALANCED!🚨

✅I’ve learnt you can have goals and enjoy your life at the same time✅
✅Ive learnt you can work hard without letting work take over you✅
✅Ive learnt you can enjoy food without feeling guilty✅
✅Ive learnt you can have a few drinks with your mates✅
✅Ive learnt you can still spend time wth the people that matter the most to you✅

💪🏼Lastly, ive learnt that i can still make progress!💪🏼

🫁For the first time in a long time I feel like i can finally breath a little, maybe that’s been something that ive been needing more than i realised🫁

🙌🏼Life isn’t always about getting to the next goal, sometimes it’s stopping to take a breath, look around and enjoy where you are🙌🏼

💜Much love💜
Ryan
