About Me

Having struggled with my weight for many years, I made a decision to change for good. In 2014, using social media purely to keep me accountable, I posted my first photo... read more

Social media has been an amazing part of my journey. I use it daily as a way to show you guys what I am up to!
 

 
 
First time gyming since being struck with a vomiting bug on Monday, feeling very weak and didn't achieve nearly as much as usual but I made it! Thanks @nicolealyceh for being semi lenient on me today 😋
Having some of my favs over for dinner tonight! Love how light and fluffy Pavlova is 😍 @beccakfoster @beksetherington @willlockie @trentforsyth
So excited for our meals this week thanks to @therealmealco 😍- how fresh healthy and delicious do these look! This is Breakfast, lunch and dinner for Monday and Tuesday. I love that the packaging is all made it wheat straw and sugarcane. I don't know if I can wait till tomorrow 👅 If you are flat out and don't have the time to think or prep meals this would be your best friend.
So my surprise date for Trent tonight was cocktails on a terrace followed by the Dining in the dark experience "Dans le Noir" where you have no idea what you are eating and drinking, it's pitch black and your waiter is blind! Can honestly say this was one of the most incredible things I have ever experienced, it gave me a whole new level of appreciation for the everyday things I take for granted. Definitely wasn't very romantic as Trent chatted to old Paul next to him more than me 😂, and being at a shared table of 10 all the chat had to be appropriate for all ears! Which actually made it even mor fun, has anyone else done this? If so let me know your thoughts! Ps photo was clearly taken during the pre cocktail part of the evening 😜
Had the best afternoon shooting for @skechersausnz, now for a quick outfit change because I have organised a surprise date for Trent tonight! I'll be posting on Insta story and Snappy (simonejourney) what we get up to. Dress and underslip is from Mirrou and these boots are my winter staple from @bozzy_boots - by far the best knee highs I have found so far, so well made and comfortable and the only pair that stays up on my tricky loose skin! Win win win 😍 I have a discount code "journeytohealth" which gives you $140 off!
Getting ready for an exciting photoshoot with @skechersausnz 😍🏃🏽‍♀️
Tonight we decided to skip our usual gym work out and go to our local tennis courts and play tennis! Was so much fun even though I lost every single game 😂🎾 I am so hot and sweaty now - what a fun way to get some cardio in.
There is nothing better than fresh new bedding to revamp your room in a matter of seconds, I am obsessed with my crisp Linen Duvet cover from @harveynormannz, it was so easy to match with everything I currently had! Harvey Norman is offering you a 30% off duvet cover sets until 6th April - link in my bio. Use the code DREAM at checkout to receive your 30% off  #dreamyourway
Raw Blueberry cheesecake 😍 this was so yummy!
Check out @vsgdeb amazing progress! "Hi Simone, Last year, at 340 lbs (150 kg) I came across your Instagram. I was so incredibly unhealthy and I had given up on myself. Your story gave me hope in the fact that someone my age could get her life back and I made the choice to get a vertical sleeve. Well, here I am, 4 months post op, and I'm 100 lbs lighter and so much healthier. I have a LONG way to go, but I have so much hope. You and your posts changed my life. So thank you. I could not be more grateful. You are SO appreciated."
We have just made @trentforsyth great Grandmothers banana cake recipe - it's so yummy and moist (as much as I hate that bloody word!) 😫 125g butter, 1 cup sugar, 3 bananas, 2 eggs, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tbsp milk, 1.5 cup flour, 1tsp baking powder. 1. Soften the butter, then cream butter and sugar 2. Add beaten eggs, mashed bananas and baking soda dissolved in milk 3. Fold flour and baking powder through the mixture. 4. Cook for 30-45 minutes depending on baking tray size used at 180*C.
When your "quiet night" ends up in Longroom doing shots but you had committed to a 9am step class with your besties.... SEND HELP! Actually feeling great now and so glad I got off my ass and did an epic work out with @marknuusteelebodystep @joshuanuusteele @_kaylahblayr_ - if you haven't tried step do it!! These guys make it so fun 😎
Tonight I am celebrating @jaykay_dub birthday with her! Dress @boohoo Shoes @forever21 Necklace & cuff @lovisajewellery Earrings @thesassvamps Hair thanks to the talented @lindajoyhairstylist
