It’s the final epi for the year!!! Another year done and dusted (can you believe it!?).

Dropping one last episode for 2021 to give you an update of how my reverse is going, what I’ve been doing/eating/feeling and some (hopefully helpful) reverse diet tips I’ve learned along the way!

In this episode I I run through:

Deleted from IG but viral on TikTok?!
Reverse diet update, including weight, calories, training, wins, challenges, learnings
Biggest reverse challenge
Importance of ‘self coaching’ mindset work
Managing social occasions while reversing + finding balance
Give yourself a break and permission to relax
Managing scale weight / body fat changes
How I’m planning to tackle the xmas break & my reverse
Things I did to set me up for a good reverse

And that’s a wrap for 2021!! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has supported me and SLBC this year. It’s been another insane year but I’ve learned and grown so much, and it’s been awesome having you all along for the ride!

Have the happiest of holidays and here’s to continuing to smash our goals in 2022!!!!

Love you,

WE FINALLY DID IT! After two years, I go on that bloody stage and got to show off my hard work.
