I’m not going to lie—sharing the photo on the left feels incredibly uncomfortable. It’s a tough reminder of a time when I had no direction. But I’m sharing it to prove just how much you can change. There’s a 10-year gap between these two photos. Of course, I’ve matured, but when it came to life and dating, the girl on the left had no clue. She didn’t take responsibility for herself, had zero interest in nutrition, and didn’t exercise at all. The girl on the right? She made her health a priority. She embraced resistance training, got curious about food and how it impacted her mental and physical well-being, and built better habits. But the biggest change between these two versions of me? Confidence. It would be easy to say weight loss made me confident, but that’s not the full story. Confidence came as a byproduct of discipline and the lifestyle that training gave me. Instead of spending hours tearing through my wardrobe, hating how I looked and feeling terrible in everything I put on, now I can get dressed for a night out with ease—and actually feel good about myself. Resistance training didn’t just change my body. It changed my life. hit the link in my bio if you are interested in some coaching with me @cici_onlinecoaching
When I saw the biggest change in my confidence : I hated my body for my for most of my 20’s. I would binge on food and starve myself for holidays or events. I had no idea what balance looked like and because I was always half-arsing then gym, I wasn’t seeing results. The biggest change I saw was when i got my first coach. I had someone telling me what to do ( I was clueless) what to eat and very quickly I started to see changes in my body. At that point I wondered why i had waited so long to make the shift because everything around me started to feel easier. Clothes fit better, my mental state was more positive and boyyy did I feel confident in my body. Now don’t get me wrong, when i go off track report to old binge eating cycles, i lose my confidence again, which is why even though now now a coach myself, I still need one.

Epic few days in Melbourne. Who knew tennis would bring so much joy? 🎾 Saw some insane talent 🇧🇷, belly laughed with the Brits 💪🏼🇬🇧, met up with some beautiful peops from back home-home, broke dry Jan- worth every sip 😎, and reignited my love of solo travel 🌍. Feel like I’ve been on a mini holiday and don’t wanna go home 😆 Thank you, Melbourne for all the kind, genuine interactions from start to finish. ✨ Back to Sydney rain ☔️

I’ve been struggling with balance this month. I started January feeling really pumped, but I’ve just been exhausted lately. I’ve needed more sleep than usual and more balance- not something I usually put as a top priority. These are some of the things I’ve found helpful lately. -Spending time with people I can be myself around, who make me feel safe. -Learning to ask for help -Getting out in nature without headphones. -Meditating. -Lol’ing and stupid stuff -Recharging my social battery and letting go of FOMO. -Spending time with non-judgmental companions 🐴 -yoga and stretching

Today’s workout with my internal dialogue 💭 thanks for sharing your workout the other day @jjstone__ attempted some of your supersets and it absolutely ruined me 😆😆😆
A beautiful friend sent this to me today and it really touched me. I’ve read it over and over- it brings tears to my eyes. I wanted to share because it may resonate with you too ✨✨✨ Thank you @allaboutchar for sending this when I very much needed to read it ✨🌙💫
Stop labelling your food as good or bad. Nutrition is individual and everybody responds differently to it. If you want a personalised nutrition plan to suit your lifestyle hit the link in my bio and let’s chat @cici_coleman_
