So August isn't a great month for me its a reminder of my life bein turned upside down 11years ago now and it doesn't seem to get any easier. I was away last week camping for 4 nights and then a 3 night stay at haven I ate and drank far to much but I constantly felt hungry mayb the sea air who knows but iv put on 4lb this month not been to the gym since July but have still done my Zumba classes each week turns out im also allergic to the sun my face swelled up nicely so made me even uglier then normal then I woke up and saw this site in the morning who puts mirrors at the end of a bed thanks Haven caravans not lol oh well heres to a new month. Sorry its long and the pictures aren't flattering 🐽🐽

Slowly feeling like myself again. Coming off the HRT has really cleared my head and I've found I'm more present with the kids. I've been discharged from the MHC team too, which is a huge positive step forward. I feel more level headed than I have in a while. I've got a long way to go, but feel that I'm going in the right direction and can see the light through the storm. Aim to get back to my fitness journey when the kids return to school on the 7th. I can achieve all my gym sessions on my lunch break without affecting time with the kids. Doing well with nutrition still, and despite this rollercoaster of a journey, I've not put on any weight (I've lost some through the turmoil). It'll be really nice to feel strong again and like a super woman. I can't wait to feel that again. Photos of the last few days below 👇

@Jamie Bigg wishing you a fabulous day/year of being 41! Things can only get better, right!?!

How is everyone doing? Hope you're all ok. It's a little quiet on here these days... @Jamie Bigg sort it out 😄 I know we're all busy balancing everything life throws at us. Thought I would share my progress with you all in hopes it inspires someone a little or gives someone a reminder that we can do this 💪 I have lost more weight and got the composition on track now to where I want to be going forward, overall bio age is down further and my fitness and strength is now something I am proud of 💪 because I know the work I've put in to get here (still work to do obviously as it's a lifelong commitment now 👊 and I'm not where I want to be yet!). But the thing I am most surprised about is how much I love that my veins have started popping 😂 never thought I'd say that 🤣 I've still been working on mobility and flexibility and now added balance into the mix as well. I have set myself new little goals for this as it's always good to have a target in mind. If I don't have a target or a goal I find I get complacent or feel stuck. What new targets/goals have you guys set yourselves?! 🎯

WELL… THIS SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME I’ve gone and done it. On 22nd August 2027, I’m taking on ATHX Individual. 🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Am I ready? Absolutely not. 😂 Can I currently smash out a lovely comfortable 3K run? Also no. Do I know what my max lifts are? Nope. So naturally, I thought entering a fitness competition was the sensible next step. 🤦‍♂️😂 But there is actually a reason I’m posting this… ACCOUNTABILITY. I’ve got just over a year to turn myself from “run a bit, walk a bit, question my life choices” into someone capable of getting around an ATHX competition. So if you see me trying to quietly forget I ever mentioned ATHX… REMIND ME OF THIS POST. 😂 22 August 2027 ATHX Individual Challenge accepted. Here we go…
