Feminine & Fierce

Over the course of 15 years, I yo-yo dieted.

Sometimes it was a big yo-yo, like 25kg (55 pounds) of weight loss, 25+kg weight regain, other times smaller increments.

But I just somehow couldn't stop myself from this weight loss - weight regain cycle, no matter how big or small.

In this episode, we look at why we keep doing this craziness over and over again.

We dive into the reasons why we sabotage our results, or why we don't even get started in the first place.

Then we walk through a 4 step process to get you off this insane cycle.

If you are keen to join me in a much more connected way, jump over to:

We all have beliefs. And we believe what we believe because we know it to be true. A lot of our beliefs are shared by others, but some beliefs we differ greatly on.

But have you ever asked yourself why you believe what you believe (about any given situation)?

We don't usually explore what we already know, because we already know it, right?

Today we challenge all of that.

We look deeper into what beliefs are, why we justify our behaviour, and what things might be disguising themselves as useful, when really they are limiting our progress.

After attending the funeral of a dear friend, I spent some time reflecting over my own life.

45 years on the planet, in the scheme of things, is not a long time. Yet to date, I have learned SO much.

Today I share my thoughts, (some quite personal), about life, and the lessons I have learned so far.

Sometimes its nice to hear some words of encouragement.

It is never too late.

You are not too old.

It doesn't matter what other people say - you've got this.

What happens when you step on the scales and instead of losing weight, you've gained weight? You've worked SO hard, it literally doesn't seem fair.

What happens when you have a bad day. From the get-go you felt out of control with your eating and a sneaky snack of oreos turns into an all-day binge fest.

We have 2 brains inside our head, both with different roles to play. Our adult brain, and our toddler brain.

Letting your toddler brain be in charge of making decisions is like letting a toddler run through the house with a knife! Its dangerous, right? You just wouldn't let that happen.

Today's episode outlines the purpose of both these parts of our brains, and how to use them to their best potential for you and your goals.

Are you training at the gym, or even at home, but not seeing changes in your body?

Are you trying to build strength, muscle, tone but feeling frustrated that no definition is showing? You're simply not seeing results?

There is good reason why. In fact, there are 5 main reasons why you're not seeing the results you've been wanting.

If you're a woman over 40, (and even if you're younger), these principles all apply.

Losing that last bit of stubborn fat is hard! And it's usually the last 5kg that is the most difficult to shed.

Is it possible? Absolutely.

Is it going to take commitment and precision to achieve? It most certainly will.

In this episode we look at the important factors required to drop the last five, how your menstrual cycle affects your hunger, and my unique approach to overcome it.

More people gain weight back after their diet than people do who successful keep it off long term. This, to me, is a significant problem.

Why do we 'fall off the wagon' time and time again? Well, in my own personal experience, it was simply because I was hungry.

Today's episode looks firstly at the 5 fundamentals of fat loss, but then we look deeper into 5 principles around long term weight management. And I share with you one super simple yet effective strategy to help keep you from being hungry.

Want to lose weight? Simple. Join a gym. Train hard. Track your calories. Track the energy burned during your session.

Not seeing results? Train harder.

Well, not so fast. While it is SO easy to fall into the "I just have to train harder to see the results I want" mentality, there is one thing stopping you from making progress.

We talk about it in today's episode.

Sometimes, some really practical tips are all we need to help us stop overeating.

If you're a practical girl like me, you love practical things that you can start doing today.

So in this 'minisode' - I give you 9.

They work.

But you have to actually implement them.
