Massive day already! Been out for a run (I never thought I'd ever say that) attended to emails, strategy planning session with a celebrity client (!!!) and a quick bite before filming and an event at the Viaduct! Eating well, learning to cook amazing food and exercising has become an important part of my life as it gives me energy to power through busy days. It's also helping me look and feel so much better and all I had to do was get started. If you're not sure where to start, PM me. I love coaching people on how to make long lasting changes to their weight and wellbeing and would love to help you achieve your goals. It's possible! I've done it and continue to grow and improve every day. Let's connect!!! #weightloss #wellness #motivation #goals #health #40kilosdown #treatyoself #happy #cooking http://ift.tt/2CaRk5v

Just finished my photo shoot for @obrmerino now off to an amazing event for women hosted by Caroline from @loveyourcareernz Jo Robertson, life coach and @michellekeatingtv In my hand is my new fav drink: ice coffee made with a big shot of @Nespresso Almond milk and ice. STUNNING AND ONLY 40 CALORIES!! Tastes decadent and doesn't mess with my low carb goals. You can always sweeten with a little Stevia. Try it!!! #coffee #lowcarb #40kilosdown #weightloss #healthybody #healthychoices http://ift.tt/2ClQoqz

This is my #superbowl food!! Low carb sausage rolls! Made them during a live stream for my private Facebook group last night and re-heated today. Perfect with a delicious side salad and big glass of water with lemon. Tasty, made of real food and cheaper than buying them at the supermarket.

😫CRAVINGS😫 I get asked about this all the time. I was a chocolate and chippies kind of gal. I was an emotional eater, a celebrational eater, a secret eater, a snack on the run eater....you name it, I've done it. On a really basic level, cravings fall into 3 categories: 1. nutritional: so your body is craving particular nutrients 2. emotional / sabotage: you're addicted to or crave foods that actually make you feel crap 3. associative: connected to great times or people. As an example, every time I think of my mother, I crave roast chicken and her crispy bread stuffing that was always cooked in a separate pan. Crunchy, savoury and golden....MMM! I'm actually drooling right now just thinking of it! SO, how come I never have cravings anymore? The steps I've gone through to ensure cravings never win are 1. I don't deprive myself of nutrition. I eat a balanced diet. 2. I looked at what I was craving and WHY. I addressed the EMOTIONAL yearning and worked out how to satisfy that. 3. Roast chicken is great. I just pass on the stuffing as it doesn't serve my health and give in to my savoury needs with low carb alternatives. Cashews or peanuts are a great choice. SO: are you cravings bigger than you? If so, how can I help? M X
