For my birthday (it’s on Saturday), my boyfriend

For my birthday (it’s on Saturday), my boyfriend’s mum got me a wakeboarding taster session. We went to this place for lunch months ago and when I saw people wakeboarding, it unlocked a memory of me when I was younger. I haven’t done it since I was 13 but I wanted to try it again!

I stopped skiing for 10 years and picked it back it up instantly so I wondered if paddleboarding would be the same way? Absolutely not! …and not only did I forget how to do it, but I forgot how much I loved it! There’s something about watersports that relaxes me in a way like no other.

I’ve done behind the boat three times and I’ve done the circuit once. I prefer behind the boat but at this place, they also put you on the rope first and 15 minutes was a great start! Can’t wait to do it again and there’s no high like trying something new (or new again) and being proud of yourself!

It’s not about looking good or being good, it’s about enjoying yourself! That’s why I always tell you to get a hobby you are shit at. It’s about not needing to improve in order to count your time worth it! It alters your relationship with failure and it unlearns that rubbish association that you don’t need to improve to have fun!

When’s the last time you’ve tried something new?

Do you have no secrets or do you have no boundaries?

If someone tells you something, they aren’t consenting to your partner knowing. There is a difference between privacy and honesty.

My first sit up 🥹

I’m so proud of myself! We all know I’ve always been such an advocate for moving your body for fun and joy but what you know less about is I started a new part of my fitness journey in February last year. I started a physical rehabilitation journey!

What really changed everything for me was meeting @tashi_qp , she’s a biokineticist (she’ll explain it better than I will but I’m my mind it’s half PT, half physio) who has helped me get to a point that I’ve never been able to with anyone else. It’s so important to advocate for your body and one thing I’ve learned more than anything is find the right people!

In the last 18 months, I got a little quiet about my workouts because I really just wanted to do it for me but this win was too good not to share! There have been highs (like the first time I reached for the remote without help) and lows (the moment I ran to the loo thinking I was about to shit myself but it was just what ab muscles feel like working again) and there were obstacles along the way but we did it!!

Right before Tash said we were doing sit ups, I actually said “it’s not happening today”. I had just come back from holiday so I thought the break would have made me weaker but I was wrong. I didn’t just do 1, I did 4 and I did it with 5 kg weight as well!

I wish we celebrated these kinds of wins more weight loss. I wish we showed that not everything is a quick fix and how long the long game can be but all 18 months is worth it

Tell me about your own workout wins that don’t get shouted about enough

Have you ever done this?

@michellezelli has saved me from so many fights by learning this early on!

Top tips are… Be extra cautious if you are having a particularly good time. Don’t believe your brain and if it still bothers you after you’ve left, have the conversation over the phone but what you might find is as soon as you leave, the desire to fight leaves too. Let’s break the pattern
