A little late posting these, but wanted to post before Christmas takes over. Pumkin fest with my little pumpkins 🎃

Chapter 4️⃣1️⃣🎈

A whole lot of food & an unexpected beach walk (see how natural I look 😂)
Oh boy did I eat 😮‍💨 if it was in front of me, I ate it.

TYSM Josh Curnow 🥰 thoroughly spoiled, as always.
Thank you for all your birthday messages ✨

Here we go again!

The in between cut ✂️
My favourite one truth be told.

The blonde will definitely be going…..question is, how quickly.
Do I dye it dark OR do I grow the bleach out and see what this natural colour is I have now? 🤷🏼‍♀️

All you need for a good night is your girls, Savano , a cowboy hat & someone singing Beautiful Crazy 🤎

And in my case…..a wig! How do you long haired girls cope?! 🥵😂

These are my VERY real and raw Before & After pictures. From where I started to where I am now.

A 40 year old woman, who’s birthed 3 children.

I’m not suddenly ripped, and I’ve not lost 100’s of lbs.
I have however, lost just under a stone and a dress size 🥳

2 things to know about me

1. I do not like the gym
2. I bloody love food

And not just sensible food. Sugar. Biscuits. Desserts. Chocolate. All the good stuff 😂

I’ve tried “being good” plenty of times before. I’d last 3 or 4 weeks, lose a bit of weight, decide I’d basically cracked it, get lax with tracking and before I knew it… I’d stopped altogether.

So the fact I’m still here, still tracking, still training and actually enjoying the process is quite frankly a miracle 😂

The biggest difference this time has been having proper 1:1 support from Lauren at Hardiman Coaching.

Every wobble, every “I can’t be arsed”, every time I’ve questioned whether I’m getting anywhere, she’s talked me through it and made me see the bigger picture. She’s ridiculously busy, often solo parenting THREE young children, and still somehow completely invested in me and my progress. If she can show up for me like that, I can bloody well show up for myself.

I still eat the foods I love. There are absolutely days I’d happily demolish half the kitchen 😂 but I know this phase isn’t forever. For me, it’s short-term sacrifice for long-term gain.

I aim for 10,000 steps most days and do 3 workouts a week, ALL FROM HOME, because I still have absolutely no desire to become a gym girl 😂

I’m not perfect. I still like cake. I haven’t developed an overwhelming passion for exercise 😂 and I still have days where I’d rather do absolutely nothing.

I’ve learned that you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be consistent.

I wouldn’t have got this far without Lauren (and Jake). They work WITH your actual life and the support and encouragement I’ve had has been second to none.

Whether this is your first attempt at losing weight or your third, fourth or fifteenth 😂 I honestly couldn’t recommend a better coaching team to have behind you.
Turns out the permanently anti-gym, biscuit-loving girl CAN actually stick to something.

River taking Reception by storm……. I never doubted for a second that he wouldn’t 🍎 🎒 ✏️

He’s been ready for this day for the past year really and as much as I will miss our little trips to M&S for ‘fluffy milk’ and cake, I’m so happy for him - working in peace is also going to be a real treat 😆

Romi also went into Year 1 like a boss….good luck to his new teacher, may the force be with you 🤪😂

And Cohen now in Year 11….. he refused the cuddle with mum and Toy Story photo though 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Proud of you all boys 🩵💙🩵

What I show you vs What I hide 😩

And the truth is it’s getting harder and harder to hide.

Haircut is Tuesday….do I persevere ORRRRRR cut it off so it’s a micro pixie and start again 🤷🏼‍♀️ ✂️
