Let’s talk about something a lot of us are guilty of and runners are possibly the worst at it. All-or-nothing thinking. I’ve been deep in it myself recently while training for a triathlon. My partner Colin keeps telling me, “You’re still running too fast.” And he’s right I hate slow runs. They feel pointless. I want every run to feel like it means something. Fast, productive, making progress.

I get asked this a lot:“Should I do the Nutrition Kickstart or go straight into one-to-one coaching with you?”The answer?It depends where you’re at. But for most women, especially if you’ve been stuck in a cycle of diets and “starting again Monday” for a while, the Kickstart is exactly where you need to begin.

Let’s be real… most of us walk through the gym doors with one goal in mind: we want to lose weight. It’s not always dramatic. Sometimes, it’s just subtle signs that something feels off:The jeans that suddenly don’t fit.Avoiding eye contact with the mirror.The little “ugh” as you pull on a t-shirt that used to feel good.Beneath all the throwaway comments like “I feel a bit blobby” or “my arms are too soft,” what most people are really chasing is this:To feel good in their own skin again.To feel confident. Capable. Like themselves.

You’ve seen the post. Maybe you even read the last blog. And part of you thought, “That sounds like me…” But you haven’t signed up. Maybe you’re still not sure if it’s the right time. Maybe you’re waiting to “feel ready.” Maybe you’re thinking, “I’ll just try and get back into a routine myself first.” I get it. But here’s the thing, if you could do it on your own, you probably already would have.

You know what we get asked a lot?“How do you stay motivated?”And the honest answer? We don’t.Motivation is a bit like the British summer… shows up randomly, sticks around for five minutes, and then disappears just when you start enjoying it.The real game-changer isn’t motivation at all.It’s momentum.

If you’re anything like most of the women I work with, you probably already know what to do.Eat more veg. Get more protein. Don’t skip meals.Simple in theory, right?
