Getting a private MRI done is the best thing you could of done, potentially now the NHS will of popped you on a waiting list and will also want to proceed with an MRI first even though you went privately.

I would just keep trying to contact them and seeing if they realise the severity of the injury.

Hey guys!

I hope everyone has had a great day and has managed ok in the heat!

Busy day even though it was l rest day just fitting everything in! Had a lash appointment this morning and this afternoon some one to one posing clients, which was lovely 🙂

Then spent some time in the garden once it had cooled a little!

Hey guys!

Hope everyone has had a great day! It’s been a crazy hot one in the uk, especially as most places don’t have aircon!

We have aircon but only in the spare room as it doesn’t reach the window in our main bedroom, so hopefully a fan will be enough for me and Effie 😅

In person check ins and posing clients this morning then this…

Your upper sessions have more volume, so I agree and would place biceps at the start of your lower days.

It would be helpful if you provided rep ranges for each exercise

Hey guys,

Busy Monday as it’s my busiest check in day, usually I would rest but due to resting at the weekend I needed to get in and train. So upper for me today! I do feel like I’ve lost a lot of muscle so will be a case of putting some tissue back on!

Feel very small / soft / fat 😅😂 but it will be back I’m sure 👌🏽

Hey guys!

Hope everyone has a great Sunday and Father’s Day! Today I have had in person check ins with clients, posing clients, and walkies. Then went to meet Kamara and jimbob and go to their farm, it was lovely to see them, we got to meet their new horsies too ❤️

Ready for a busy week x

Hey guys!

Today one to one and online posing clients today then was just me and Effie.

I didnt manage to get childcare to go and train this afternoon as nath wasn’t back until this evening and Effie was being a little needie, still trying to get her down now. I think once I know my sleep is good and Effie in a good routine I won’t mind going…

Hey guys!

Hope everyone has had a great day! A long day today! Client work this morning before setting off to go to the seaside with Effie and my friend Emma, we met some of my family there. It was so lovely!

Effie has been very good today, only a little worn out bless her.

Tomorrow a busy day of posing clients and Effie 🙂

Hey guys!

Super busy non stop day today, check ins first thing before heading to baby group. It wasn’t cute we painted effies feet and made a card for Nathan for Father’s Day! Then headed straight for a group photoshoot, which took a lot longer than expected, so home later and more work, housework etc and getting organised as going to the…

Hey guys! Hope everyone has had a great day!

Client work all boxed off super early as I managed to get Effie back down this morning in her next to me and she slept for another 2.5 hours so I managed to box off loads!

I hope this means she’s starting to get some kind of schedule now! 🙌🏻

I’ve also trained upper. Definitely feeling much stronger…

Hey guys!

Hope everyone has had a great day! Leg day for me today! Feeling much stronger in my core, and my lifts are generally feeling better! I’m more confident to push myself more, with both load and intensity. Very happy with how things are looking 9 weeks PP.

Lots of work and posing clients in between training and Effie 🙂

Hey guys!

Busy day, Mondays always are super busy but it is always going to be rest day I think, until Effie gets more of a routine anyway!

Client work, Effie, met my 2 friends for a walk which was perfect timing to get the babies to sleep, then back for more feeding, some house work, then finishing off some more work 😀

Tomorrow is a train in…

Hey guys!

Managed to go for a dog walk with Effie and Nathan today! It was lovely as I didn’t book any posing clients in 🙂

Then it was pull for me today! Had a good session, can tell me strength is coming back now and I’m not scared to add a little bit more intensity.

My core was a little tender the last few days but I think that’s from…

Rest day for me today!

Client work and online posing client this morning and some housework. Then this afternoon we went to watch a charity football game that my brother played in. It was nice to see my fam and get out 😀

Excited for training tomorrow!

Hey guys!

Client work boxed off nice and early and no posing clients today so I went to my friends house, we trained legs and went for a walk. It was lovely ❤️ the session takes longer as we have Effie with us, but means I can train without needing childcare 😀

Weighed myself this am and I am 174lbs, 9lbs up off my pre baby weight but a whole…

Hey guys,

Rest day for me today! Which felt quite well as Effie didn’t have the best night, she was up quite a lot, luckily not crying but just awake or didn’t settle in her next to me only on me, which isn’t ideal 😅

For the last week or so she’s only have 1 wake up goes down around 10/11 then sleeps through until 2ish but last night it was…

Hey guys!

Morning of Effie & client work before some one to one posing clients.

Then I went to meet another old client who has just had a baby for a coffee that was lovely!

Then back to more feeding, pumping, client work, washing etc. once Effie was sorted I headed to the gym I trained shoulders and then I did 20mins on the stepper too!

Hey guys!

Today I had some posing clients this morning, an appointment and then this evening I managed to do some cardio at home.

Nathan has been in mk today, but he had Effie this evening whilst I did some cardio 😀 I have planned that I will train this weekend and made sure I have 4 sessions in my diary which I am very much looking forward…

Hey guys!

We had a successful night! Effie slept from 11pm until 3am then was awake until 5am, back down until 7:45am, so I actually got a really good sleep! I think now she’s hit 8 weeks I sense that she will start to go longer stretches and start to know day vs night and have set nap times in the day.

We had a great day at the show too! We did…

Hey guys!

Today we travelled down to Cardiff, so client work this morning before we headed down. Effie has been so good, just so content and happy! Which we are sooo lucky to have such a chilled baby. Obviously she lets you know when she wants something, but luckily no colic etc (yet anyway!)

We headed to see everyone at tanning then I…

You will likely be tired 7 weeks post partum just being a Mum!.. so doing all that as well is incredible! Make sure you’re looking after yourself too 🙂[/quote]
Awh thankyou so much Clare ❤️❤️❤️ I think I need to take your advice my darling! ❤️❤️❤️

Fully agree with above, just drop them a message buddy

Hey guys!

A super busy day today, client work this morning then I’ve done 4 posing clients which I have only been doing 2 a day as it’s hard for me to get childcare and actually fit in client work and also training and being full time mum. But I managed it all 😅

Not sure if I’m getting a little burnt out or if it’s usual at 7 weeks post partum.…

Hey guys!

Super busy day today it really just ran away as didn’t have any childcare. My friend came round this afternoon so we took our babies for a walk an a coffee to get us out the house and then the babies could nap. Then it was home for a feed.

This evening I had too much to do but Effie needed sorting so didn’t manage to get to the gym.…

Rest day for me today! Been a busy day of work and Effie, but managed to get to the butchers and do some errands. I planned them all to try and be on effies sleep which didn’t really happen lol she hasn’t slept much today, still learning that if she missed her first 1-2 sleeps it makes her wired all day. So hopefully soon she will be…

Eval athlete pro is my favourite, they are the best!

Hey guys!

Client work as usual this morning then we have had the health visitor here. She is very happy with Effie and has signed us off until 10months now! Wowee crazy!

Effie was 10lbs 4oz, so us growing perfectly 😍

I then went to train with Emma this afternoon with Effie then home to some online posing clients 😀😀

Hey guys,

Hope everyone has had a great day!

Upper body for me today. I’ve started adding a little more load to my exercises now I am 6 weeks post labour, so gradually I will keep increasing load now. Still not anything that causes too much bracing as I don’t want to regress and go backwards with my core.

I’ve also had client work and posing…

Hey guys!

Hope everyone has had a great day in the sun! Today washes today for me.

Today I managed to get client work done this morning before my posing client. Then it was an unexpected nice chunk of laptop work as Effie actually slept for 2 hours in her pram, which I did not expect but here for it!

This evening I went to meet my friends for…

Hey buddy, I’d agree with the above and you try full body every other day and see how you are recovering from that?

But if you are enjoying your set up and progressing why change?

Hey guys,

Rest day today as we had a wedding, I’m still getting used to being ahead of time to allow for more time to sort Effie 😅 but we will get there!

I’m hoping to get children tomorrow so I can train but some family are away and nath is at a show.

Hopefully soon we will be in a routine so I will know what day & times I can train and…

I usually have half way through my session 🙂

Hey guys!

Hope everyone has had a great day! Very busy one today, the days are just so none stop with working and Effie 🙈😅

Nathan wasn’t able to have Effie whilst I trained because he had work so I have had to take a rest day.

We have a wedding tomorrow so it will be full on with client work, 2 in person check ins at ours and trying to get ready…

Hey buddy,

That set up is absolutely fine, cardio away from the training window may always be better for recovery. But you make it work as long as it fits into your lifestyle and you get it done.

Hey guys!

Rest day for me today. Just a day of some client work this morning then Effie day as nath had his podcast then needed to train.

We are still getting used to him having to tell me if he has something on because I know I can train then 😅

Looking forward to going to train glutes tomorrow though 🙂

I fully agree with everyone above. Smoking / vaping can also affect appetite and digestion, work could affect your ability to increase food when in an off season settings.

I would email customer services but it could be that you don’t like the taste of that flavour.

My go to flavours are

Salted caramel

Choc orange

Custard cream

Cookies and cream

Choc fudge

Sticky toffee pudding

Hey guys,

Busy day managing work life and Effie but we are slowly finding what works and what times I can train and get someone to look after Effie etc. because i also have to get childcare whilst I’m working, so it’s being able to work and have me time at the gym and actually be a mum 😅 but we are getting there 😄

Today I trained rehab /…

Hey guys,

Busy day today as we didn’t have any childcare so it was quite difficult getting my work done but Nathan had Effie when her got back from training for me so I could go and train and he bathed her bless him.

Then ive had to do some more laptop work before bed which i dont usually do if I can help it.

But happy I managed to still go and…

Claire fully covered this here. But with your varied diet, supplementation with magnesium and having a pink / lo salt daily intake target would more than cover this for your lifestyle.

What is your daily salt intake?

Hey guys,

Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

Today morning of client work and posing clients, then we went to my nieces 1st birthday party.

It was so lovely to see everyone, how it has flown is crazy!

This evening we just chilled with Effie and the dogs. Trying to plan our week with training etc x

Fully agree with the guys above.

Try and move more. Improve your cv fitness. If you struggle for time you could also add in HIIT on rest days on the bike , stepper, cross trainer l.

Hey guys,

Busy day today, dog walking, Effie, some client work followed by house work and meal prepping before heading to the switch Magda and effie.

It was effie’s first bodybuilding show bless her, I had the headphones for her, they are too cute!

My client did well, she got 3rd but just proud of how far she’s come!

You want to eat it with enough time for it to digest. Some that may be 2 hours prior to training, I like 60-45mins before

Hey guys,

A busy day of client work, posing clients, Effie and getting stuff done in the house.

Managing my time is much harder now with still continuing to work whilst Effie is so young. But I don’t want to give up what I have been working hard to build.

Lower session later on this evening and rehab. I think next week I’ll put leg press back…

I think with needing muscle everywhere a PPL or UL split would be perfect. Then over time a more specific split would be suitable

Hey guys,

Busy day today of client work, posing clients and Effie.

Went for a nice walk with Effie, I just have a target of 10k steps a day now I’m feeling all recovered so getting out with the dogs or Effie more for longer walks now, but the target is to stop me doing too much lol

I will probably put some steady cardio back in next week too 😄

L-carnitine should not necessarily hurt no, some can be mild, sometimes it can sting.

Deeper IM with longer needle can reduce post inj pain, whereas subq with shorter needle tends to sting more.

Have you tried rotating sites?

Hey guys,

I hope everyone is well. The first night I got 4 hours sleep together! Couldn’t beleive it. 4hr 35 in total 😅 I do think soon I will be getting between 5 & 6 hours hopefully. Just this last week it has ranged between 3-4.5hours broken so I was still having to wake Effie up for feeds. But now I am going to let her wake me when she is…
