Do you find it hard to manage your stress levels?

Stress relief and healthy ways to manage stress is a huge topic in my programme and one that’s very important to cover when you are working towards any health or fitness goals.

Stress can negatively affect your workouts (exercise itself is a stressor, too!) as well as in almost every other aspect of your life.High stress levels can also wreak havoc on your nutrition – knocking you off your healthy eating habits and into a cycle of stress eating, guilt over the stress eating, and then stress eating some more.

Some ways you can increase your *ability to deal with stress* are:Getting more/better quality sleep Being flexible with your expectations of yourself

Asking for help when you need it.

Then, make sure to incorporate some things that help ease your stress. Things like taking a walk, listening to music, writing in a journal, calling a friend, meditating or watch the sun go down.Is stress something you struggle with?

While managing stress can be difficult, it doesn’t mean you need to do it alone!My programmes are all about addressing your health and fitness from a holistic perspective.

We work together to find your motivation and take control of your health and happiness.The time is now to make this health and fitness thing work for the long haul. Are you ready?

Don’t let the scale define you!

Are you sick of stepping on the scale and don’t see any shift in your weight?

Let me tell you first that you got to stop defining your WORTH and SUCCESS by the number you see on the scale! Definition of the scale; a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity 🤷🏻‍♀️ Some examples of why the scale fluctuates;

👟 Eating Salty foods
👟 You’re on your menstrual cycle
👟 After intensive exercise
👟 Dehydration
👟 Your food hasn’t digested yet
👟 Alcohol
👟 Water Retention

A scale doesn’t know the difference between a 75kg woman who’s lean, fit & toned and a 75kg woman who eats fast food all day.

Your body will know the difference though, your measurements (tape) will show it, how your clothes fit and how your body looks. The kilo’s on the scale is not showing how fit you’re or how much muscle you have.

So why not focus on what you want to achieve rather than what the scale is telling you?

If weighing yourself motivates you in a positive way, there’s no reason to stop but I know for many women the number on the scale makes you feel miserable. Then it’s time to ditch the scale and focus on healthy eating, getting stronger and become more fit than you were before.
