Manifesting my body after the holidays
Body Routine:- going hard for 2 days straight with 4 abs + leg sculpting routines, exactly 10 minutes straight per workout. I use leg weights to make my workout more intense. I focus on 3 full body an focused and one on legs. (My dog joins me at the gym and we listen to manifestation videos whilst o work out!)
• After intense workouts after breaking from workout during the holidays I get bloated from muscle tear, I can even get cold symptoms + gain a couple of pounds as well as being super hungry, no pain no gain!
• Trying to keep my diet whole foods, anything from homemade matcha, kale soup and protein shakes, I wait a couple of days after an intense 2 day workout, walking and stretching in between. After that the result is tighter abs, arms and legs and visibly different. It’s giving your body a bit of a break between days, otherwise the lean look will not happen, too much everyday bulks and bloats me - personally.
• It’s waiting on those results, and being positive in between with daily quantum manifestation every morning, and not letting the bloat be anything than what it is, ‘water weight’ + ‘temporary muscle expansion’ and a raise in cortisol which is normal after a break from exersize as well as lactic acid build-up.
• I try to stretch every night and do weighted leg routines, and eat well/clean whilst my abs/body is in recovery.
• 2026 is a year of ‘augmenting’ not ‘changing’ and working with what I’ve got, and what I know I can improve on, not just for physical appearance but overall ‘strength’ so I can be strong mentally as well as physically for everything I want to achieve in my life including the launch of my own beauty brand + music releases.
• Fave go-to foods daily because I keep it consistent and then don’t have any anxiety around food if I know I’ve got it locked in: Clevr matcha, Kale Soup, Starbucks protein matcha and my daily mix of 6 vitamins from NAD, Collagen Peptides + Biotin/collagen + Hyaluronic acid. I also take glucose gummies daily during intense workouts + after since I can get a bit hypoglycaemic.
Summer bodies are made in winter after all!

After taking a break from regular exercise during the holidays, I found that easing back into my fitness routine was essential to avoid discouragement from temporary effects like bloating and muscle soreness. One thing I noticed is that intense ab and leg sculpting workouts, especially with added leg weights, really push my muscles but also lead to temporary water retention and muscle inflammation, which can mimic weight gain. To balance this, I incorporated a supportive diet focused on whole foods. Matcha, especially an instant oatmilk latte form like Clevr Matcha SuperLatte, became a staple for me because of its antioxidant properties and ability to provide a gentle caffeine boost without the crash. I also rely on nutrient-dense homemade kale soup and protein shakes to fuel recovery and support muscle repair. During the recovery phase, stretching every night and including active rest days like light walking have helped reduce stiffness and lactic acid buildup, making my muscles feel tighter and more defined over time. I highly recommend listening to positive manifestation audios during workouts; it keeps motivation high and mindset positive, which is just as important as physical effort. An important lesson for me was understanding the body’s hormonal response after a workout hiatus—cortisol levels can spike, leading to temporary water retention and hunger. Accepting these signs as normal helped me stay patient and avoid frustration. Personally, I see 2026 as a year to augment my strengths, not just change appearance. Building physical and mental resilience enables me to pursue goals beyond fitness, including launching my own beauty brand and music projects. Finally, maintaining a consistent intake of vitamins like NAD, collagen peptides, biotin, and hyaluronic acid supports skin health and overall vitality. For those prone to low blood sugar during workouts, glucose gummies are a good quick fix. Overall, this approach shows that summer bodies truly are made in winter with dedication to a smart routine, clean nutrition, and a positive mindset.
