CUT UPDATE Mostly I’m hungry! I’ve dropped cals again for the final 2 weeks. Not gonna telly oh them because it’s irrelevant and everyone needs something different depending on starting point and goal. Weighed in at 61.4kg two days in a row now after a slight sticking point just above 62kg. Patience. Determination. Focus. Do what you gotta do daily and stick with it. Full disclosure: You can see in the last pic that I store a lot of my body fat around my thighs and butt. These are very difficult to lean out for me. You can see the stretch marks too. Don’t care. Nothing we can do about body fat distribution but keep going on leaning out gradually. Also I’m having skin troubles on my back so I don’t want any comments or messages about that unless you know any awesome ways to clear your skin up in that hard to reach area thank you! Please note my goal here is not to make my body smaller (I actually want bigger muscles) but to cut back some body fat after a couple years of strength and muscle building in a surplus so that I can see the muscle I’ve built! DO NOT FOCUS ON MY WEIGHT - it’s just a number! I use it as data to track my fat loss progress, scale weight itself does not matter and it is not part of your identity. Start weight (8th Feb 2021): 66kg Current weight (22nd mar 2021): 61.4kg Hope you’re all having an awesome day and feeling good! I’m gonna try and get my latest vlog up on the TOOB tonight around 7pm so please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already to follow my cutting journey including what I eat in a day, workouts, and all the rest of it! I appreciate every single one of you who interacts with my content and follows little old me. I know I’m not the most exciting iNfLuEnCeR but hopefully I help/entertain some of you 😅❤️ #summershredding #letsgetshreddy #getshreddyforsummer #shreddy #shreddycommunity #shreddychallenge #shreddingforsummer #lockdown2021 #girlswholiftheavyshit #girlswholiftheavy #gymsharkwomen #gymsharktrain #girlswhoflex #girlswithabs #fitchicksofig #fitchicksrock #altgirlsofig #inkedandfit #fitandinked #fitandnerdy #nerdfitness #fittwitchstreamer #twitchstreamer #glutegains #norwich #norwichbloggers (at Norwich, Norfolk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMusJhqjVY2/?igshid=15npurco47ppj

𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 . . . ⠀ ⠀ . . . about a thing!⠀ ⠀ On Monday, I started my new job after four long months sat on the sidelines and over the weekend I was telling myself that alongside this I would fit in three runs and a few other workouts too • But then two little angels reminded me that this was the week to focus on my health and wellbeing, to make sure I walk the walk as well as talk the talk • After all, we can’t pour from an empty cup!⠀ ⠀ This week is all about me finding my feet again.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #myselflovestyle #discoverunder3k #reallifeandstyle #getshreddyforsummer #fitness #fitfam #selfie #hiit #fitspo #flexitarian #healthy #iifym #activewear #strongnotskinny #progresspic #workout #bodygoals #training #transformation #leanin15 #fitnessmotivation #girlswholift #nutrition #running #abs #beachbody #balanceddiet #marathontraining #raceday (at West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCsRgnyhmGW/?igshid=1q8dp9slq32yq

𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 . . . ⠀ ⠀ . . . completed it mate • Well the winter running season that is!⠀ ⠀ Up bright and early on a Sunday can mean only one thing - race day ... and after a pretty sedentary week, I’m itching to get moving!!!⠀ ⠀ Winter racing (aka cross country) has been one of the most challenging, yet rewarding things I’ve attempted • It’s both mentally and physically demanding, but to see progress race after race is amazing • I’m not expecting to set the world on fire today, I’m not even expecting to see any progress BUT I’m looking forward to saying ‘I’ve done it.⠀ ⠀ Now if Spring and the road season could arrive, that would be great!!!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #myselflovestyle #discoverunder3k #reallifeandstyle #getshreddyforsummer #fitness #fitfam #selfie #hiit #fitspo #flexitarian #healthy #iifym #activewear #strongnotskinny #progresspic #workout #bodygoals #training #transformation #leanin15 #fitnessmotivation #girlswholift #nutrition #running #abs #beachbody #balanceddiet #marathontraining #raceday #crosscountry (at Malham) https://www.instagram.com/p/B85sZ8AhBWH/?igshid=1jtr3gbtmjw2m

[AD] V A R I E T Y ❓ OK I know I’m only three days in to this #dotheunthinkable challenge with @musclefoodUK BUT here are a few things I’ve learnt so far...⠀ ⠀ 1️⃣ Variety is the spice of life - my meals have been far more varied than usual ... this Chinese Pork Stir Fry is something I would never thing to make myself but it was rather delish!⠀ 2️⃣ You can eat a lot - I honestly felt as though I spent the first few days doing nothing but eating but I haven’t been binging ... eating little and often has helped massively with my portion sizes and my body has responded well to it!⠀ 3️⃣ Food = Fuel = Energy - OK so this isn’t a revelation but eating well makes you so much more energetic ... I’ve managed two decent runs this week and two awesome upper body sessions in the gym without any preworkout or Jelly Babies as the food I’ve been eating has made me feel that good!⠀ 4️⃣ You are what you eat - when my diet is unbalanced or chaotic my IBS responds with a big old flare up ... although I definitely had something that my body didn’t like yesterday, it didn’t flare up as it would normally and it has already passed which is amazing!⠀ ⠀ If you’ve made it this far hurrah 🙌🏼 I’m off to do my first ParkRun in months BUT tell me what the biggest lesson you have learnt about food 👇🏼⠀ ⠀ #myselflovestyle #discoverunder3k #reallifeandstyle #getshreddyforsummer ⠀ (at West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByuMH91BwFW/?igshid=1lo27cfkficu0

C H - C H - C H A N G E S 👣 As much as I bitch and moan about running sometimes - I bloody love it!⠀ ⠀ Yesterday’s run was challenging - it was hot, humid and hard work getting up the hills • I even managed to get a double stitch as I approached the home straight • But I got around the course in 53:43 with an average pace of 10.42/mi • As much as I would have loved to get around in 50:00 or less, it’s making a 10k PB in Leeds with @leedsrhinosfoundation next month look possible! ⠀ ⠀ They say a leopard doesn’t change its spots, but I changed mine - I went from hell no cardio to happily running 10-15 miles per week • What have you changed your spots for? #myselflovestyle #discoverunder3k #reallifeandstyle #getshreddyforsummer ⠀ (at Halifax, West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByPKwkyBd8j/?igshid=1xvchksq1708p

R A C E D A Y 🏃🏼‍♀️ Yes, here we are again - an early Sunday morning get up, ready to take my little legs for a challenge • Today’s challenge is relatively simple compared to the last - 5 miles on home ground, but with a tiny 458ft elevation gain thrown in!⠀ ⠀ It’s a “fun run”, but I throw so much pressure on myself to continually improve and do well that I’m feeling apprehensive • I had the worst nights sleep (not even sure I slept tbh), had a minor site panic late last night that meant I had to have a chat with my hosts at midnight AND the stressy belly has been out in full force since mid-evening • The delights of IBS!⠀ ⠀ But despite all this, as I sit here with my morning coffee I’m really looking forward to the day ahead • Yes it will be challenging, it always is, but it will be fun too ... and I believe there’s a cake stand at the end of it!!!⠀ ⠀ How do you handle being hard on yourself? I need to chill out a little bit I think haha! #myselflovestyle #discoverunder3k #reallifeandstyle #getshreddyforsummer⠀ (at West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMsDLohshF/?igshid=b2wdpkyua88h

S H - R E A D Y F O R S U M M E R 🤜🏼 I wish • After a week of relatively low intensity workouts and rest, I’m itching to get back in the game and already thinking about my next challenge ... is it a 5k, a 10m, a marathon - who knows!⠀ ⠀ All I know is that I’ve definitely got the bug for fitness again and I’m enjoying doing it on my terms • My legs are feeling good today so I’m going to get my ass to the club tonight and get a decent run in - aiming for a lower mileage this week with some gym time thrown in for strength • Whilst I’m happy that my body is perfectly imperfect in every way - I’m excited to see what it can achieve over the next few weeks.⠀ ⠀ What’s your current motivation to achieve your goals (in life in general, not just fitness)? Mine is the desire to continually improve myself in every aspect of life! #reallifeandstyle #myselflovestyle #discoverunder3k #getshreddyforsummer ⠀ ⠀ (at West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrH4SWBzk8/?igshid=15is1tyi7k1v5

0 D A Y S T O G O 🏃🏼‍♀️ So after months of preparation, today’s the day and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling a little apprehensive! You see I didn’t sleep great last night, in fact I woke up several times - one of which was thanks to a nightmare about forgetting my socks and not being able to start the race today • Totally irrational • But I guess I’ve been putting a lot of pressure on myself to do well today and despite preparing like a boss yesterday, I still felt uneasy as I went to bed last night. Everyone’s version of doing well will be different - just to finish, to set a new PB, achieve a certain time - but I think for me it’s knowing I’ve done my best. Let’s do this! #myselflovestyle #discoverunder3k #reallifeandstyle #getshreddyforsummer (at Leeds) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxWmgjxhLG2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ve0f5l10i9j
