Gosh it’s been a while!!

*LONG POST WARNING*
This is a difficult post for me and not one I thought I would have posted a year ago, but with courage comes healing.

At the beginning of 2020 I was the at the pinnacle and peak of my fitness. I felt confident, had a VERY healthy relationship with food and exercise and I really enjoyed my healthy lifestyle and being a good role model for others looking to grow on their own fitness or mindset journey.

Even early covid and gym lockdowns couldn’t get me down, if anything, it spurred me on more. Just as everyone was coming out of lockdown in Tasmania in mid 2020, I was floored, literally by a raging appendix and had to have a emergency surgery which meant I couldn’t exercise to my pre-surgery capacity. I ended up in my own lockdown and all of my coping mechanisms were stripped from me.

I didn’t realise how much I attached my identity to the ability to exercise and initially post surgery I recovered well and got back into my exercise ASAP, but then the reduction in my fitness caught up with me mentally. I have realised over the last few months that at this time last year, I masked my true emotions and began the mistake of lying to myself instead of processing what I was truly feeling.

This time coincided with starting a new, challenging work role and I let work consume me and long hours along with a reduction in my self esteem physically, I took a knock to my stamina for staying as fit and healthy as I was.

I let my mental state slip and I completely let my good habits slip. In July 2021, I was exercising only sporadically between my work commitments and was JUST about mentally ready to kick my own butt and get back into my fitness and healthy lifestyle again and another injury, this time my knee saw me floored again. Never take anything for granted. Especially walking!

The preceding 8 weeks have completely changed my mindset about myself, my identity and my worth. I have relied heavily on my coaches, colleagues, my husband and our family to help me through.

Fast forward to now, I am 3.5 weeks post knee surgery and I have gained alot of weight over the last year after not eating right, skipping meals, and not training as much, or at all over the last 8 weeks I am not feeling the best physically. My energy has been low, my independence was challenged and and I’ve been working through some intense emotions as well as physical recovery of my knee.

I am now ready to commit to a new ! I’m excited to feel fit, healthy and sexy again.

I have committed to my latest 16 week challenge, and while taking these before photos did not make me feel good, I am going to enjoy saying goodbye to the extra 20kg on the woman in these photos and hello to another level of myself. But moreso than just dropping some weight, is the reclaiming the feeling of feeling well in my body and increasing my energy again.

This will not just be a physical challenge, but mental also as I will need to ensure a healthy work life balance and rehab my knee injury post surgery.

I wish you could see in pictures what I FEEL!

I am PROUD of myself. I work hard on my habits and mindset to make sure I LOVE who I am, inside and out, everyday. But I haven’t always been this way. When I started my self-love, positive body image and health journey, it took me a long time to realise its about how I FEEL, not how I LOOK.

I didn’t mean to, but I’ve been quiet on here for the last month. I have had some of the BEST quality time with Budgie that I ever have.

We’ve done so much and we have EATEN everything! All the bacon and egg rolls, so many hot chips, a bit too much wine. We’ve explored parts of Tassie that I didn’t know could be so beautiful and we have had family time doing nothing. It’s been perfect and just the mindful reset I needed before I take on a new challenge.

But over the last week I’ve been feeling sluggish, tired, emotional and brain-fogged. Ive got a little more fluff than usual. I’ve still moved my body and fueled my mind with positive thoughts, but I’ve felt the effects of the extra indulgences I’ve put into my body.

So over the last couple of nights, I’ve smashed a double cleanse with EASE, I’ve woken up today with EASE, feeling LIGHTER, RADIANT and VIBRANT. 💫

Self love Sunday in full swing for me. It started with a sleep in, a smoothie bowl, then a SOUL-filling chat with the lioness love tribe, now I’m off to move my body, do a tan and organise my week ahead.

Happy Self-love Sunday beautiful 💗

“You only have control over 3 things in your life. The thoughts you think, the images you visualise and the actions you take. 💥

How you use these 3 things determines everything you experience. If you don’t like what you are producing and experiencing, you have to change your responses.

Change your negative thoughts to positive ones. Change what you daydream about. Change your habits. Change what you read. Change your friends. Change how you talk.”

Change your thoughts and you will change your world ✨

As I’m a late shift today and an early tomorrow and on the second day of my 48 hour deep cellular cleanse, I allowed myself a sleep in, followed by a guided yoga flow, refocusing my thoughts.

Choose day morning done right 🙌🏼

I’m reading a book at the moment and no joke, every common philosophy of positive living and living by your own design that I’ve ever heard has been reiterated. I’m only on chapter 3!!

Something I read today that I just couldn’t not share was this:

‘𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙖𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.

The last 12 months have been interesting to say the least, and all I can do everyday is do my best and know that the right people and things will show up as they’re meant to as long as I have positive intention but stay unattached to any outcomes.

I make a habit of spreading love and positivity because it makes me feel phenomenal. How it’s received isn’t what’s important. It’s the intention on which it’s given!

I’m learning so much everyday and I love my life and the woman I am becoming! 🙌🏼

11/28

I wholeheartedly believe in divine timing. For instance. This 28 day challenge I am currently participating in couldn’t have come at a better time! 💫

The last 10 days have been hectic and by the end of every day I’ve been tired. But they’ve also been fun, exhilarating and provided opportunities for growth in many ways.

This renewed self challenge involves 3 mini challenges everyday.
1️⃣ move my body for 30 minutes everyday 💪🏼
2️⃣ consume my system of wellness products as they were designed to be eaten 🥤
3️⃣ participate in a form of self care everyday 📚

My commitment to myself in this challenge was not that I was going to achieve a drastic goal, I didn’t even take measurements at the start, it was that I would show up Every. Single. Day.

And that commitment to myself has made it so easy to get it done. Rather than deciding if I want to workout/eat my products/take care of myself, I only have to decide to be the person who does what they say they’re going to do or not!

As long as I continue to show up for myself and my team, I feel fulfilled and energised.

Thanks tribe for keeping me accountable. Team are taking this to the top! 💚

P.S. I’d be on the floor without my little happy herb shot of goodness. If I am EVER out of eshots, watch out! 😜

Focus on what your going to not what you’re going through. 🙌🏼

I was thinking about it on my 6am walk this morning while listening to a podcast about a phrase that I have heard over and over and over again, the avid traveller I am, ‘put your own oxygen mask on first, before you help others put on theirs.’

And this rang SO true for me. I didn’t WANT to be out in the 2 degree cold, walking at 6am because it was comfortable. I GOT to be out walking because it allowed me to clear my mind, focus on thoughts that inspire me, that drive me to be better and that keep me focused on my dreams.

If I was focused on the fact that I couldn’t feel my toes or nose, I wouldn’t have even gone in the first place.

I get up earlier than I would have to if I just got up and got dressed and went to work because I KNOW that I am a better wife, nurse, mentor, daughter, sister and friend when I have filled my own cup first.

I know I say it all the time but I DO fill my own cup first, I only give to others from the overflow. Is that selfish? Some would say yes, but it’s not because if I am at my best, then others get my best. But if my cup isn’t full, then others only get me at a percentage of my best. What would you prefer? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m a couple of days behind in posting this, but better late than never. 😜

I’ve posted my before and after photos before, but it’s usually years or months in between the photos. This one is just my last 30 days!

When I had surgery to have my appendix out in late May, I thought my recovery was going to be really difficult. And it was for the first 3 days, but then I realised I speak my truth into existence and I had to change my thoughts to change my reality.

I went from telling myself I was struggling mentally and physically, that all my hard work in my latest isabody challenge was undone to telling myself that my body would heal perfectly as long as I maintain my healthy habits. So that I did.

I moved my body everyday, even so much as a slow walk made me feel better. I was following my nutritional cleansing program to a tee and I focused on thoughts that would lift my spirits.💪🏼

As if the universe knew I needed the accountability, with divine timing along came the 30 day Winter Challenge with all of the ANZ consumers that wanted to participate. I joined because I wanted to push myself within the post surgical restrictions I had to follow.

I knew I if I stuck to my healthy habits, I would heal well and quickly, but I didn’t realise how easily I would heal and how much I could push my limits when I was lit up from other people following along with what I was doing!

I’m writing this post for 2 reasons! 1) I am proud of myself and wanted to share my progress with you all and 2) I am grateful for all of the love and support I got from all of my friends and family while I was posting my progress everyday across my socials.🙌🏼

So from this happy, proud and grateful woman, thank you all. The accountability was just what I needed and that’s why I didn’t hesitate to jump straight into the next 28 day renewed self challenge with our wider team!

Consistency is key. Little by little, day by day, habit by habit small changes become big results!! 🙌🏼

I appreciate you all cheering me on! 🎉

30 days done and dusted. 💪🏼

Last exercise challenge done. 100 jumping jacks. 💪🏼
Thanks for the support and accountability over the last 30 days. It’s kept me on track and made sure I showed up.

As I said yesterday, I’m straight into my next 28 day reset, but I’ve decided to focus the next 26 days (as were already on day 2 of the TCR renewed self reset) more on my nutrition and self love practices.

I’m looking forward to showing you all the ways I keep myself whole, from the inside, out!!

P.S. stay tuned for a 30 day before and after comparison photo tomorrow sometime ✌🏼

Hey team!! 💪🏼
The penultimate day in this challenge.
Once again I haven’t had a chance to post all day until now!

I’m grateful for you all keeping me on track. I don’t really have time to be upset that this winter challenge is ending tomorrow as I have already jumped into my newest challenge. So today is both day 29 and day 1.

92 (last time I checked) people all learning and growing together.

With all the latest updates in the company and global celebration this weekend, I’ve never been so excited and grateful to be a part of this space.

Something beautlful IS coming soon!! And 2.0 is HERE!💥
This is the start of an exciting new week. 90 people in our tribe have committed to grow over the next 28 days to improve their habits, mindset and nutrition together.
The timing could NOT be better!! Not just for our challenge, but for the company as a whole! This week alone, we will see new product innovation, elevated branding & messaging, upgraded values, investment in even more intuitive advanced technology, more money than ever, global expansion and our global online celebration this weekend.
Talking of global expansion, today, July 13th sees the launch of 13 new countries!! Yes 13 European countries full of people waiting to improve their wholistic wellness in all aspects of their lives!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🇦🇹 Austria
🇮🇨 Canary Islands

🇫🇮 Finland
🇫🇷 France
🇩🇪 Germany
🇮🇹 Italy
🇯🇵 Japan
🇳🇴 Norway

This opportunity is huge. Not only here in Australia and the existing 14 countries we are in. But adding such a huge and exciting European based expansion is keeping me up late in between my amazing nursing career.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So not only is there our company 2.0 AND our team 2.0, but there is also my own Amanda/ Mindie 2.0! I’m always learning, always growing and always figuring out new ways to support my team who invest into themselves and me. I’m focused and passionate to help others in all aspects of wellness, it’s why I became a nurse to start with!
Our team is ALWAYS welcoming new people and we’re ready to bring you in to it. So if you’re in the market for a physical or financial transformation, I might just have what you're looking for 🙌🏼
