Stop trying to shrink. 🛑✋ ​For 9 months, I chased 60kg. I thought "skinny" was the trophy. ​Spoiler: I changed my mind. 😂 ​I don’t want to be a smaller version of myself anymore. I want to be a stronger version. 🦾🦁 ​I’m trading my "thin" goals for muscle. I’m lifting now s

Why Your Body Isn't Broken — It's Just Changing Years ago my bag had makeup and perfume. Now it has migraine pills, Zyrtec, Gaviscon, wind oil and plaster. I am a walking drugstore. 😑 And I'm not even 50 yet. 😂 Perimenopause is real. The symptoms are real. The weight that a

How I Actually Build Muscle At Home "Don't drop it... don't drop it" 😂 That's literally what goes through my head during ISO bicep curl. 45 seconds. 6kg. Pure suffering. 😂 TUT and ISO are probably the least glamorous things you can do in fitness. No swinging. No momentu

My morning non-negotiables. ☕💪 Whey. Creatine. Black coffee. No, I don't love the taste of whey. That's why I mix it with coffee. 😂 No, I didn't know this was scientifically correct timing. My instincts just figured it out. 😂 2 scoops ON whey = 48g protein before lunch. 5g cre

Why the scale is an asshole I went for my InBody scan on possibly the worst day of my life. Bloated. Visibly bloated. 😂 Scale said 76.8kg. My actual weight a few days before? 73.7kg. Two days after? Back down. 😑 The scan happened anyway. And you know what? My Skeletal Muscle Mass came

DeepSeek gave me broken links. Google led me to HASfit. 9 months later I'm still here and no paid partnership 😂 No loud music. No fitness influencer energy. Just Coach Kozak, Claudia, and their very effective way of making you question your life choices at rep 6. 😂 Free on YouTube. App a

Nobody warned me about sarcopenia. After 40, we lose up to 8% of muscle mass every 10 years. And no — walking, yoga and pilates won't stop it. Only lifting heavy will. 💪 Because muscle isn't just about looking toned. It's your metabolic engine. Your blood sugar regulator. Your bo

July 2025: 2kg dumbbells. Thought it was enough. 😂 9 months later: 7.5kg main weight, ankle weights, and a very unhealthy attachment to my dumbbell collection. 💪 We've been through a lot together — sweat, questionable life choices, and that one time 2kg Svend Press made me question my entir

130-150g protein a day. Yes, I know. This auntie is obsessed. 😂 But here's the thing — protein isn't just about looking toned. It repairs your muscle. Regulates your blood sugar. Supports your hormones. At 46 and in perimenopause? Non-negotiable. And no, I don't eat plain chicken

"Wait... the MORE muscle I build, the MORE I can eat??" That was me discovering TDEE. 😂 Total Daily Energy Expenditure — the number that unlocked everything. More muscle = higher TDEE = higher calorie budget. It's not magic. It's just math. 😈 Full breakdown on the blog — link
