Remember that this week ✨🙏🏻 #wholesometribe

Sunday’s are for meal prepping and soul check in’s with Phil!

We usually spend around 2-3 hours in total to buy groceries, cook, clean and portion-size everything out for the week. Then, in the evening, Phil and I always do a check-in (I talked about this ritual in more detail in a recent post) to catch up on how the week has been for us. Sometimes we go for a walk or chill by the beach, other times we might have a tea or share a cheeky glass of wine cuddled up on the couch.

Because we’ve got a really small apartment and an open kitchen (see pic!) with a useless ventilation system, when we cook, the entire apartment smells of whatever meals we’re creating. Which is great when we’re making chocolate brownies haha but otherwise it’s really not that ideal. The Dyson Pure Cool purifying fan has been a bit of a game changer for this reason, because it helps purify the air after cooking and helps remove any unwanted air particles. As it gets SUPER hot when we’ve got the oven on roasting a bunch of veggies for hours (imagine in summer in Sydney with no AC and 30 degree days…), the Dyson is a double lifesafer by purifying AND cooling the air. Winning! What’s super cool is that you can actually see how the air quality decreases as we cook (track-able via the display), and improves again as the Dyson does it’s job. Faaaancy 😎

That’s it from me, happy Sunday everyone!

Where you’ll find me today..✨⌨️ I have to play catch up on so many things related to #wholesomestef, my coaching clients and life admin, so I’ve got my work planned out for me today. Not complaining though, there’s something utterly satisfying about powering through a to-do list and getting sh*%t done. Plus, I’ll probably take a cheeky arvo ocean dip 🌊 Side note: I’m contemplating signing up for a mini triathlon next Feb, but my only issue is that I’m PETRIFIED of the swimming bit. I honestly and truly love all types of sport, but swimming is just smth. I’ve never wrapped my head around...All the more reason to get out of comfort zone and do it? 🧐Does anyone have any advice on how to improve your swimming skills, reckon I can do it solo or do I need a coach? Any input would be epic! Happy Sunday y’all ☀️

If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you 👊🏻 Thanks @runningheroesaunz @barrysaustralia @blakejamesbridges for today’s epic workout! 💪🏻 #barrysaustralia #barrysbootcamp #runningheroes

Never ever ever getting sick of this view 🌊🏊🏼‍♀️ #lovethebubble

Friday office vibes 👅☀️ Today I took a rest day from working out and OMG my body needed it. I slept in a little (aka till 6:30am), then went for a slow and relaxed morning walk with Phil along the coast. It felt so good! We had a bit of a check-in about our weekly goals and things we need to do, which tbh freaked me out a little because I feel like I’m so behind on so many things! But I’m going to try to not freak myself out too much and just take one step at a time....Deeeeeep breath! 🙏🏻I hope you’re all having a lovely Friday, sending all the happy vibes to you ✨

The other day I read an article that condoned people in the #bodypositivity space who posted pictures of themselves showing off their seemingly perfect, fit, toned body. Even though the article didn’t specifically say so, there was an underhanded tone that suggested it wasn’t OK for those people to own that space. As if to say only people who DID NOT fit the beauty ideals of our society had the right to fight for this message.
I’m super curious to hear what everyone’s opinion is on this and would love to have an open dialogue around this matter.
Personally, I think that the entire point of the body positivity movement is to enable all women to be confident in who they are, regardless of whether or not they fit the beauty standard. It’s also about changing how we talk about our bodies with others, realising that body shaming others AND ourselves isn’t OK.

What I do agree with is that the body positivity movement shouldn’t be an excuse to constantly post highly sexualised pictures of yourself with the hashtag #BodyPositive. Maybe this is helping you claim your own body confidence, but at the same time be mindful of how this can affect others.

At the same time, this doesn’t mean you can't strive to work for your body and proudly show off any progress you’ve made health and fitness wise! Personally, I’ve been working on some fitness goals lately and I’m PROUD to show off the results because I know that a) I’ve worked hard for it and b) my intentions came from a place of self love and respect. 👊🏻 So yeah, I think it’s a complicated multi-layered topic and there’s no simple answer, but I would love for us to have an open dialogue about this so please share your thoughts 💓
