I don’t know about you, but for me 2018 went by faster than any other year! Some of the highlights for me personally were: Achieving my fitness goal of being able to do 10 pull ups (I started 2018 at 3!) Overcoming many challenges in my business and realising I am more capable than I ever knew A yoga holiday this summer which was quite transformational I always like to spend time at the end of the year reflecting.

One of the best ways to ensure success in your fitness and to achieve a lean, healthy body is to plan your meals! A good meal plan doesn’t have to be perfect, nor have rocket science involved - it just needs to work for YOU!
