Exhausted, overwhelmed and no time for yourself?
Elaine can relate and that's why she describes her time in The BFL Academy as
"Life-changing"
When she first joined, her goals were clear:
✅ Feel confident in her own skin
✅ Improve her relationship with food
✅ Have the energy to set a positive example for her daughter
But work, university, and being Mum left her with little time and energy to think about her own well-being.
Add looking after Boris the dog and I'm sure you'll agree,
Busy is an understatement.
Something had to change when Elaine realised she felt like she was only "existing",
she was "no longer living."
The few moments she did have to herself she'd either sleep, eat or cry!
The guilt doing anything for herself when she could be doing something for others was strong,
and it was holding her back!
Recognising Elaine's struggle, we made a plan that took her busy schedule into account.
The plan focused on:
Tracking her Calories & increased protein in her meals
Stepped outside her comfort zone & started park runs
Being active in ways that she could include her family
These simple yet effective changes allowed Elaine to regain control,
Her energy grew and she realised she could fit herself in.
This led to incredible results:
✅ Over 3 stone off & 4 dress sizes down
✅ Fitness to run a 5k in under 30 minutes
✅ and the strength to carry her daughter through the airport with loads of heavy luggage too
The best part is the positive impact it has had on her life beyond physical changes.
She now:
🔥 Has certainty that she can achieve her goals
🔥 Isn't afraid to step outside her comfort zone and try new thing
🔥 Is teaching her young daughter she can be strong and confident too
Elaine's progress is inspiring.
Through her commitment and dedication,
Elaine has proven that it's possible to achieve great things despite being crazy busy.
She'll do anything for her family,
but now she realises that starts with doing things for herself.
That mindset lets Elaine shows up daily as the mum she always envisioned she'd be!
