+ W H O L O O K S A F T E R Y O U ? + Have you ever found yourself compromising your own needs in order to make sure those around you are ok?

👉🏼 Maybe you’re so busy looking after your baby during the night so your other half can get a decent night’s sleep that you’re utterly exhausted the next day?
👉🏼 Or maybe you’re too busy prioritising your baby’s schedule and appointments that you’ve not got time to see the doctor about the weird feeling in your pelvic floor?
👉🏼 And then it all becomes too much and the slightest thing makes you cry.
👉🏼 Or you stop feeling emotions altogether because you just don’t have the energy.

When you’re doing all the giving and don’t have support...

🙁 At some point this resilience will wear out and you’ll break
🙁 Relationships suffer
🙁 You feel bad about yourself and doubt your abilities
🙁 You behave in ways you don’t like

You are strong and you are capable, but you can’t keep giving when your reserves are empty. Acknowledging this doesn’t make you weak. Or a bad person.

Wasn’t motherhood supposed to be amazing? Weren’t you supposed to be cherishing every moment?

Can you relate?

The truth is, no one can pour from an empty cup. Eventually that cup breaks.

The key is to build in support so you don’t reach that breaking point.

💚 Invest in childcare for a couple of hours a week just so you can sleep. Or get a coffee by yourself. Or exercise.
💚 Make friends with a mum you trust who can watch your baby for an hour.
💚 Ask your partner to go to work an hour later or come home an hour earlier every week or so, so you can get extra rest.
💚 Find a gym with a creche.
💚 Talk about how you’re feeling with friends and family. Let it out.

Commit to building in support right from the start if you can. Better yet, have a Support Strategy before your baby is even born. And remember, it’s never too late to start establishing ways to refill your bucket.

A big high five to @heroic_knitting for going for a solo run and smashing 3 laps of the Arsenal stadium 💪🏼 Seriously awesome girl!
.
I bet it felt AMAZING after ✨
.
To all those who are working on building fitness and health, keep it up. You’re doing something truly great for yourself.

+ I T A L L A D D S U P + Exercise after havin

+ I T A L L A D D S U P + Exercise after having a baby can feel really different to the exercise you used to do. It can be frustrating to slow it down, to lay off running for a while, or to pause the high-impact, adrenaline-rush classes.
.
But you’ll feel the benefits. Take the time to heal, to restrengthen your foundations and build things up.
.
Focus on your own journey and continue to challenge yourself. And before long you’ll suddenly realise that you’re doing amazing things and feeling so strong!

+ 1 5 0 P R E S S - U P S + I was too emotionally

+ 1 5 0 P R E S S - U P S + I was too emotionally drained yesterday to complete my full set of 100 press-ups yesterday so that meant I had 150 to do today. The boys joined in, @tjjgash joined in and I got a bit narky at one point when I just wanted to get some done before lunch arrived and the boys decided to pile on 🙈
.
I’m doing this for the @mariecurieuk May press-up challenge and it is SO tough. I remember having to do a minimum of 20 before taekwondo gradings at uni no problem, but now I can barely manage 10 full ones!
.
Anyone else doing the challenge? Anyone want to do some sets of 10 in solidarity?!

+ 3000 P R E S S U P S + So I’ve signed up for the @mariecurieuk May Press-up Challenge. That’s 3000 press-ups I’ll be working my way through the next 30 days... PT clients, guess what?! A certain exercise might be featuring in our sessions... ☺️
.
Today I got 50 under my belt. I was planning on 100 but I’ll add an extra 50 tomorrow. Fun times ahead!
.
Want to sponsor me? Head to The Warrior Method Facebook page to find out how 💪🏼
.
And... anyone want to do this with me? And donate 10-50 press-ups to my daily total?! I’ve realised I’m not as strong as I used to be and this is quite tiring! 🙈

.
No idea how we had the energy for this last night after a 5km run - maybe it was the thought of the post-run scampi and chips we had planned ☺️
.
What are you up to this weekend? I’d love to hear your plans!

+ A R D T R A I N I N G + I’ve been neglecting

+ A R D T R A I N I N G + I’ve been neglecting my own fitness recently so rather spontaneously had a boxing and fitness session with @streatfield_d66 from @ardtraining after getting chatting (and doing an impromptu workout at the beginning of the week - check out the tyre pic a few photos back).
.
I like his vibe and no-nonsense approach. We did a killer warm-up (think hurdles, slam balls and battle ropes), followed by a fun boxing session and abs.
.
Ahhhh it feels good to move like that again!
.
Thanks Dave, hope to see you for another session soon, or at your Bootcamp!
.
Trainers - how do you stay fit? Are you good at motivating yourself, or do you sometimes need a kickstart too?

+ T Y R E - I N G W O R K O U T + I’m not sure

+ T Y R E - I N G W O R K O U T + I’m not sure either @heroic_knitting or myself imagined we’d be dragging tyres when we set off for a post school-run 5k. But then we stopped for a chat with @streatfield_d66 from @ardtraining (I can’t help it, I’m nosy, and I love fun equipment) and shortly after we were pulling tyres and doing banded lunges.

SO MUCH FUN! Legs massively aching 🤪

If you’re looking for some fun fitness, they run bootcamps on Monday and Wednesday evenings by the Arsenal stadium.

+ M Y H E A L T H I N S P I R A T I O N + Who’

+ M Y H E A L T H I N S P I R A T I O N + Who’s your fitness inspiration? Mine is my dad. He’s still playing tennis pretty much everyday, goes for a 10k walk rain or shine, and during lockdowns would run 5k back and forth around his house. He eats well, loves homemade bread and the occasional Thai takeaway, and has recently started learning Korean (Japanese starts next week!) to keep his brain sharp.
.
Thank you daddy for being a constant source of good advice and inspiration. Now if you could tell me the art of portion control, that would be fabulous!
