One win from this week
One intention for the weekend
One way you'll make Future You proud

Share your #weekendplans 👇

I’ll go first

This week I started training for a 5K

This weekend I’ll run 10K

I’ll make Future Me proud by eating sensibly and not snacking

What's the WHY driving your goal when motivation fades?

Ask yourself:
- What will change in my life when I reach this goal?
- How will I feel differently?
- Who am I becoming in this process?
- What becomes possible?

The answer is personal to you

What’s your goal & your WHY? ⬇️

Tiny habits create big changes

I started with 1 min breathing exercises → I now do 5 min meditation daily
2 push-ups → 10 unbroken

I was sceptical about such tiny efforts
But daily consistency produced amazing results

What tiny habits could transform your life?

Short meditation with deep breathing
High-protein shake - IsaLean Shake with 24g of high-quality whey protein

Struggling with the pressure of having a 'good' weekend?

Try a #PowerHour - one hour just for you

Myth: weekends must be productive
Reality: they can be whatever you want

My hour: Saturday 6am hour-long run

By Sunday, I feel good

Your ideal power hour? ⬇️

Having the best weekend doesn't need to come from food. It comes from:
• Quality time with loved ones
• Adventures big and small
• Recharging your batteries

and delicious food that serves you
The secret? Balance, not perfection

What’s your #balance this #weekend?👇

#ComparisonTrap - feeling we aren't 'good enough'

Everyone's has different bodies, genetics, lifestyles, and starting points

Focus on your growth:

- Why can't I run as fast as them? → How has my pace improved?
- Why don't I look like that? → How do I feel compared to 3 months ago?

I set a #TinyHabits challenge on 12 February

This is a 30 day check-in

How did your daily 2 pushups, 20s plank, or 5 squats go?

My squat technique is much better and I can do more

How did you get on?

What transformation are you aiming for?

Mine was ENERGY

I also achieved weight loss and injury-free running

When you take the pressure off your goal (weight loss) and focus elsewhere (finding energy) you see results

What goal with positive side effects could you set?

#MondayMotivation

Does the voice in your head makes all your decisions, whether you want it to or not?
What if the negative chatter was positive and powerful?

I can't run a mile → I'm building endurance
I'm too slow → I run at my pace
I'll never lose weight → I'm learning what works, it takes time

#SundaySetup

I joined January's trend to create a word for the year - SMILE

But I’m find power in setting a word for the week too

This week my word is FOCUS

I struggle to focus at times

By focusing on focus(!) I will tick 3 ever-present things off my list

What is your #wordoftheweek and why?

I‘m not a fan of progress pics

I know they work

They worked for me

But I found something that is more effective ⬇️

#FridayFeeling

Fast forward to Monday morning. Picture yourself waking up:
• Energised from weekend choices that nourished you
• Proud of finding fun ways to stay active
• Ready to tackle the week
You can choose that feeling

How are you going to show up on Monday?

#ThrowbackThursday

10K: 75min → 54:33

But this didn’t lead to weight loss

My weight loss led to better running

Common belief: Run more = lose weight
Reality check: I couldn't sustain running or avoid injury until I changed what I ate

Nutrition made everything else possible

#WellnessWednesday

You don't need to overhaul your entire life to make progress

Tiny changes create massive transformations

”I changed my whole life overnight" stories usually don’t last

Real, lasting change happens one small decision at a time

#TipsTuesday

Small shifts add up to big results

Mindset shift
- I have to exercise ➡️ I get to move my body
- I can't eat that ➡️ I choose healthy foods

Daily swap
- Scrolling ➡️ 5 mins of stretching
- Cookies ➡️ fruit and nuts

What's your Two for Tuesday? Share👇
• 2 small changes
• 2 food swaps

#MondayMileChallenge #MotivationMonday

Movement has so many benefits. But, it doesn't have to be a long workout. Small can be significant

Challenge yourself to move a mile today - walk, run, jog

If you normally run, try cycling or swimming

The aim? Move and have fun

Love a social drink but hate the energy crash?

Alcohol can disrupt your sleep and sap your energy

Try spacing drinks with water, or go for low-sugar mocktails

I met my 28-year-old self for coffee today...

She was unhappy with her weight, worried about her marathon training. She couldn't run 3 miles. I tell her she will finish. Her dad will be there. It will be her most precious memory when he's gone

"It too much," she whispers. "Why did I sign up?"

3 mental blocks that stop new runners:
I'm too slow
I can't run far enough
Everyone is watching me

Challenge yourself 👇
Slow compared to who?
What is far enough?
Who is watching?

What negative self talk gets in your way? How can you challenge it?

Meal planning isn't about restriction. If you know what's for dinner you make better choices

Planning...
- removes decision fatigue
- reduces stress
- saves time

Plan 3 meals this week. Compare your choices on those days with non-planned days

Share your plan 👇
