@southerlybower: Before & after pics coming tomorrow 💪 A huge thank you to my coach Katie at Rise Coaching for helping me get here. We’ve worked together since last September through real life—holidays, hormonal struggles, busy mum life, setbacks and wins. The biggest lesson? Learning how to stay consistent through all of it. We started with a small deficit, moved into maintenance to build muscle, then back into a deficit ahead of my holiday and photoshoot. We’ve been particular strategic the weeks running up to this shoot and it’s been really empowering. I am so proud of myself. ✨ 3 strength sessions a week (upper, lower, full body) ✨ 10k steps minimum ✨ 1-3L of water (weirdly so hard for me) ✨ Prioritising sleep ✨ High protein ✨ Adapting training around my cycle ✨ Learning the importance of rest and recovery ✨ Weekly check ins for accountability Katie has an app with my meals which has many options which I alternate. The app also tells me exactly what I’m doing in the gym and I track my progress. 💪 Going to failure has also been a game changer - it’s KEY to muscle growth alongside protein goals. Honestly, I’ve been a fitness girl for years, I could tell anyone how to do it. But the truth is, I’d become toxic with it because I had no one watching. Now I have Katie and I feel safe in what I’m doing. She is kind, non judgemental and someone I can be absolutely honest with. Having someone to guide me, keep me accountable, and help me navigate the ups and downs has changed everything. If you’re thinking about investing in yourself this year, do it. Most importantly: don’t compare your journey to mine. We’re all working with different bodies, backgrounds, goals, and challenges. Just focus on becoming a better version of you ❤️ Thank you and feel free to ask any questions below ✨ #Fitness #WeightTraining #Gym
