Summer holidays have started, and I'm already seeing posts about "surviving the next six weeks."

I get it.
Having the kids around 24/7 is intense. No nursery breaks, no quiet mornings, constant snacks and "I'm bored" every five minutes.

But here's the thing that hit me the other day: In 10-15 years, these same kids won't want to spend six weeks with you. They'll be off with mates, working summer jobs, or just too cool to hang around.

So maybe it's not about surviving… it's about actually enjoying this time while we've got it. That doesn't mean letting everything slide for six weeks and feeling awful by September.

It means managing yourself differently: Eat a smaller breakfast if you know you're having lunch out. Cut back on dinner if you've had ice cream with the kids. Plan around the chaos instead of fighting it.

You don't need to eat three normal-sized meals just because that's what you usually do. Adjust the ratios to fit around family time.

The last thing we want is disordered eating around the kids. They pick up on everything we do.

My coaching isn't about 12-week transformations or getting as ripped as possible. I hate the label, but I fit into the lifestyle coach more than I want to 🤣 I look at your whole life to see how we can make it work better.

That means looking at everything: how things are going with the kids, your stress levels, your sleep, the lot.

So yeah, the six-week holidays are hard, but it doesn't matter because we're just managing it. We're not trying to lose masses of weight during this time.

We're staying as close to optimal as your current life allows. If you need help managing yourself over the next six weeks so you can enjoy the holidays without losing all your progress, I'm here.
