Kerrie Knight Coaching

And it’s started! Finally. Marathon training is a GO!

I lost my beautiful Dad back in March and frankly it’s taken me the last six months to even begin to understand what the world looks without him in it.

What you probably don’t know, because why would you, is that my Pops loved running. In fact, over the course of his wonderful and full life, he ran more marathons than I could count on both hands. The one that got away, however, was Paris. The days following his death, in a moment of someone would say madness, my husband and I committed to doing that marathon for him.

This is the start of that journey. So if you’re interested in watching somebody who is completely unfit, overweight, in medical menopause and an avid lover of white wine and cake take on what is frankly the most frightening challenge I think I’ve ever faced - I’d love it if you would follow my journey and give me some much-needed cheerleading.

A gentle reminder from me to you ❤️

You have two choices:

The quick fix:
Undereat, be hungry and miserable
Over exercise and be exhausted
Live in a constant state of restriction
Unsustainable habits

The right way:
A balanced lifestyle
Persistent consistency
Eating foods you love and still get results
Movement you enjoy
Sustainable results

Which will you choose?

💯

Let’s stop overcomplicating health and wellbeing. The basics work, if you work the basics:

No zero movement days
Drink more water
Look after your sleep quality
Cultivate a patient outlook
Stop being so hard on yourself
Don’t over restrict
Work on your mindset
Own your goals, not someone else's

A little PSA to start our Friday.

It's time to stop seeing your health and wellbeing as something you switch on or off.

Work instead on accepting that health and wellbeing is a lifestyle choice.

I believe in you!

What a wonderful evening celebrating Mr and Mrs Stobbs. 👰‍♀️🤵😍

Sundays for the soul 🥰

Life is challenging right now, but we are filling the moments in between with joy. And a Sunday roast has to be right up there with one of the best things to make me smile!

How’s your weekend been?

You can't expect 100% of the results from 20% of the work.

To make changes in your life, you have to change everything:

Change your mindset
Change your outlook
Change the people who influence you
Change your behaviours
Change your habits

Do this, and you'll create the changes you want to see! 🔥

You've got to your goal weight, and guess what.... you're already looking for the next thing. You're not happy, not really.

But all is not lost. Quite the opposite! The happiness is in the pursuit of the goal itself. What you've learned about yourself: your strength, your courage, your resilience.

The habits you've developed.
The mindset you've cultivated.
The discipline you've fostered.

When life gets challenging, which it inevitably will, those things will keep you focused and carry you through whereas you'd previously have hit that big red f it button.

Let go of the outcome and start to enjoy the process of building your best version. It's a pretty amazing journey!

You might not like hearing them, but it doesn't make them any less true! ✅🔥

Weekends with you are my favourite ❤️

Here’s a little Sunday sermon:

You will always be pulled off course. That’s life: filled with competing priorities and demands on your time.

When interruptions happen or progress stalls for whatever reason, it’s all too easy for our mindset to stall too.

The difference between those stuck in the cycle of never ending ‘fresh starts’ and those who are making progress is the speed at which they simply get back on track.

The skill to practice isn’t ‘getting better at getting started’ it’s not allowing an interruption to become a reason to quit.

Remember this for your week ahead! If the weekend has interrupted your progress: boozy, food heavy, indulgent - celebrate the memories and simply GET RIGHT BACK TO IT.

Mindset Monday 💭

Whether we accept it as a truth or not, we ALL have a story.

A narrative that we keep telling ourselves. And that narrative is either the launch pad for growth or the anchor keeping us stuck in one place, on repeat.

“I’m too old to try that.”

"Are you nuts? I can't do that?!"

“I’m too busy.”

“Now is just not a good time.”

“I’ll never be able to do that.”

"The kids are just too young."

This is your invitation to reflect on what your narrative is. What does it mean?

Does it mean that you’re not up to it?

Does it mean that you’re stuck in one place forever?

Does it mean that the version of you that you dream about is just out of your capability?

If that's the case: it's time to close the book, and pick a new one. You're the author with a blank page in front of you: your story is yours to write.

So the question now becomes…. What do you WANT your story to say?

Here's some things I know about your story:

You're worthy of everything you desire, and more.

You are a strong, capable, intelligent woman with the world at her feet.

Time to change your story, to change your life.

If you needed this reminder, don’t forget to share this with someone you love 🤍 they might need it too!

The fitness industry was difficult to navigate before socials, it's even harder now!

Please be mindful about what you consume on this platform. There is some GREAT advice out there, but there is also Tiffany from Stroud who did a £29 groupon qualification. Tiffany doesn't care about you, she only cares about the GymShark sponsor she's chasing through growing her following.

Harsh? Maybe.
True? Absolutely.

If this pinched a little, you're welcome!

The hustle narrative is getting old. The impression that our worth is somehow measured by the fullness of our calendar or the amount of hours we worked this week or how little our feet touched the ground.

The truth is, we are conditioning our primal brains to exist in a constant state of fight or flight. That's like driving your car around with the rev counter hitting the limiter: daily.

It's not good.

If we show up to each day already in the mindset that it's going to be MENTAL. Guess what? It will be.

Create the space between the reality of a busy life and a busy mind. Just because your schedule might be excessively demanding doesn't immediately translate to your emotional state mirroring it.

How you show up is within your gift to control.

Life is busy, but I'm in control of how that impacts me.

Until we can learn how to separate a busy day from a busy mind, we will never truly understand how to rest. How to take time for ourselves for all those things we crave: time to workout, time for a massage, time to journal, time to reflect, time to go for a walk.

Being busy is not a measure of your worth: it's simply a fact of life.

You are worthy by design, not by decision.
