Hello you!
I arrived back in Scotland early on Thursday morning from a lovely, relaxing holiday in Murcia, where my husband and I visited family who have retired there. It was exactly what I needed – good food, local sights, and plenty of downtime.
And it got me thinking…
I used to count down to holidays like they were my lifeline – ready to ditch every habit because I “deserved” it. It felt like an escape from the day-to-day and a break from real life.
But now? Holidays are an addition to my life, not a reason to throw everything off track.
- I sat in the local pub, happily not drinking alcohol – not because I forced myself, but because I genuinely didn’t want to. And the most surprising part? I didn’t even think about it.
- In restaurants, I picked a healthier meal and one I genuinely wanted – not because I was counting calories or restricting food choices, but because that’s the kind of food I enjoy eating.
- I went out a walk most days – not because I needed to get my steps up, but because I enjoyed being outside, feeling the sun on my face and moving my body.
How times have changed.
So here’s a little reflection for you – have you built a life you love so much that weekends, breaks, and holidays aren’t an escape, but an experience? An extension of you and the life you live?
If not, I have something for you…

Listen, Learn, Nourish and Reset Yourself
Here’s my monthly recommendations for you – a mix of inspiration and reflection from the podcast, information from the book, nutrition from the recipe, and relaxation from the yoga nidra meditation.
Enjoy!
🎧 Podcast Recommendation:
Mel Robbins Episode 275 at episode-275
The Body Reset: How Women Should Eat & Exercise for Health, Fat Loss, & Energy with Dr. Stacy Sims.
💡 Women are NOT small men.
Most health, nutrition, and fitness advice is built on research conducted on men. Women’s bodies function differently – our hormones, metabolism, recovery, and stress response all require a different approach. Yet, the systems we’re often told to follow were never designed for us.
It’s time to change that. It’s time to share information about women, with women.
That’s exactly why programmes like mine exist – to help women understand themselves, break free from outdated advice, and create a life that works for their body, their mind, and their future.
📖 Book Recommendation:
The Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspé
How blood sugar impacts your energy, mood, and cravings – and how small changes can make a massive difference.
🍎 Recipe Recommendation:
Try this TikTok viral recipe: Hot Honey Cottage Cheese Sweet Potato Beef Bowl.
Sweet, spicy, creamy, and packed with protein – the internet is obsessed, and I am too! Greek yoghurt works just as well if you don’t like cottage cheese.
Check out the full recipe at https://iamafoodblog.com/sweet-potato-beef-bowl
🧘♀️ Meditation Recommendation:
Yoga Nidra is my favourite way to reset and relax. If you need a moment to unwind, let go, and recharge, this guided Yoga Nidra is perfect for calming your nervous system and restoring balance.

Final Thought
You don’t need a holiday to feel refreshed, fulfilled, and happy.
Create a life you love waking up to each and every day – so that holidays add to your joy, not save you from burnout.
Are you ready for that shift?
Let’s do it together.
Much love
Gilly
