Although they might sound similar, I feel there is a big difference between being disciplined and being motivated when you’re working towards your goals.

Motivation is FEELING LIKE doing what you need to do. You’ll know the feeling of motivation doesn’t last long. And often, the expectation is that motivation comes from an external source – like reading a book, or working with a personal trainer.

Self discipline is about DECIDING to make certain choices – and sticking with them regardless […]

Happy New Year!

I hope you had a lovely, if strange, Christmas.

I, for one, am in need of a few weeks of eating well. There’s something about Christmas which makes us feel like we’re not correctly celebrating if we don’t eat too much or drink too much. We make choices we wouldn’t make at any other time of the year. In fact, I’ve seen some interesting numbers about that; apparently we are less satisfied with ‘normal […]

Does A Different Christmas Mean You’ll Eat Differently?

I’m not exactly sure how, but it seems like Christmas is nearly here!

In fact, it looks like it has arrived in quite a few places already – isn’t it lovely seeing all the decorations up earlier this year.

This year has been, amongst other things, interesting. From a health and fitness perspective, we’ve had to challenge the way we thought things might be in different situations.

We often used to say, decisively, that if we only had more time […]

There are some things which one needs to take into consideration when trying to lose weight. They can be seen as pretty inconvenient and can make the road both harder and easier at the same time.

The first is that you have to take action. Waiting for the right moment, waiting for the motivation to strike or holding out for a clear spell in your diary are all ways of not taking action.

Action doesn’t happen because the stars have lined […]

Are You In Charge Of Your Own Results?

It’s probably not news that there are certain things in life that we can control, and certain things that we can’t control.

Things you can control are obvious – like what clothes you wear – and things you can’t control are obvious too – like the weather.

But whether you’re in control of some things, especially those relating to changing your lifestyle, can be seen as a matter of opinion.

Think about the results you would like to achieve in terms […]

Good morning!
What a glorious morning it is, just as the world is being turned back on it’s head again!

I think most of us are feeling somewhat deflated, and especially now the days are getting shorter, it’s going to take effort to keep the positive state of mind going.

Working on maintaining a positive mindset can help to carry you through difficult times and help you be more resilient to stress. It’s something I discuss with clients regularly […]

Please do go and watch the videos if you haven’t already. If nothing else, they are a pretty accurate documentation of the remarkable amount of coldsores I’ve had over the last few months!

Likewise, would you like me to make some videos with different, or supplementary, content to these newsletters? Perhaps cooking videos and maybe some workout ones too?

So, the Covid rollercoaster continues, and now the weather is less cheerful, I think we all need to be paying a […]

When you’re thinking about starting a new workout routine, our first thoughts tend to be to simply move more. Which is super, and the absolute best first step you can take.

Often, we want to add in a specific workout too and, while the array of workouts available is vastly improved these days, there are plenty of fad type workouts which promise to help you lose weight and tone your *insert bodypart* by doing various strange looking, single-muscle focussed, exercises […]

Changing your lifestyle in order to lose weight and improve your health can feel like something of a massive and overwhelming project.

The time and effort it takes to make changes can test even the most strong-willed of us, and to me, one solution is to make ONE change at a time.

Rather than trying to overhaul your entire life overnight, choose one area to focus all of your attention on improving. Often, changing one key habit is enough to unlock […]

There seem to be various numbers floating around, but apparently the average person has gained 0.6 stone during lockdown. That’s just shy of 4kg!

Apparently a third of us have gained significantly more than this too, and some of the numbers floating around are from over a month ago!

It sounds like a LOT of weight to gain doesn’t it. But, let’s break it down.

Of course there is way more to this, but it’s said that […]
