  • Did an amazing Mt Stromlo ride today with the family. Loving my Roscoe Trek Mt Bike - it’s been so much fun learning how to do this! #stromloforestpark #canberra #mtbike #activelifestyle #family #australiaday
  • I took some cool photos today for my online program. I’m actually disappointed with how they turned out, next time I’ll hire a photographer, however they still do the job. Each portion of foods you see contains the same amount of energy. The pen is just to give you an idea of size. I was curious to see the volume of whole food vs it’s processed counter part, and my members will also learn more about the nutrient differences of these and heaps more foods. My program offers meal plans and recipes, but it also includes micro ‘flip learning’ just 10 minutes per week of education and then you’re immediately encouraged to put what you learn into action! #healthyeatinghub #nutrientdensity #nutrition #portionsize #healthyfood #fliplearning
  • BBQing is one of my favourite ways to cook vegetables! They’re amazing if you like them a little bit crunchy. These are just coated in extra-virgin olive oil and a bit of salt. So yummy! #bbq #vegetables #greens #broccoli #zucchini #dinner #healthyfood #nutritionist #healthyliving
  • At the end of last year I was done. Done with nutrition. Done with business. Done with trying to be ‘influential’ on social media. Done with writing. Done with parenting. Done. I spent much of last year, riddled with anxiety. I was second guessing everything and overthinking until my brain hurt and then never actually making a decision. I was exhausted from high expectations, put there from no-one but me. I thought many times: ‘how I could possibly escape what is 8 staff, 2 clinics and the dream of building an online program that was different from anything ever created.’ Two camping trips, a handful of amazing mentoring sessions with two very amazing mentors, a weekend of being alone for two nights and re-connecting with my ‘why’ and I can feel that something has changed. I’m not afraid of failing any more. And not because I don’t think I can’t fail. I could. I might. But I’m not not afraid of it, because I’ve decided that if I did, that I would be ok. It’s been, for me, about ditching the pride I have about not wanting to be the person who failed. Now, I just don’t want to be the person who didn’t try. So I’m taking action. I took the breaks, started the daily walks, read the books, booked the mentoring meetings, organized the weekend away, wrote the plan... and now I’m just executing it. No more second guessing, just one foot in front of the other. I’m focusing on doing the daily things that need to get done, that move me toward my goal. I might fail. There will be things that pop up that I can’t foresee. But I’ll figure those things out when they arise. This is the kind of feeling I want to help people achieve with their food. To remove the paralyzing effect of indecision and confusion and give you the confidence to take action, and then resting in that confidence, you do the small daily things that get you toward your goal. You don’t overthink them. You don’t stress over them, you just do what needs to be done. One of my mentors told me: “I want you to discipline yourself to execute on the plan. Keep your eyes on the prize! Don’t get distracted.” Continued in comments...
  • I’m loving rice noodles at the moment. Along with vegetables and chicken they make a super quick, tasty dinner! #noodles #vegetables #stirfry
  • In 2020 I’d like you to remember a few things: 1. There are waterfalls that you can swim under that don’t care what your body looks like! 2. Waking up and quitting ‘bad’ food is the most inferior approach to improving your eating habits. 3. True change requires you to make realistic and sustainable behaviours a part of your life, not wake up one day and try to stick to some strict random meal plan you got from the internet. 4. Consistency, not perfection, is the evidence of behaviour change. 5. A balance healthy eating pattern does not include guilt. 🥳 Happy New Year!! Make 2020 the year you stop looking for flaws and start looking for potential 😘
