Someone recently commented that they were doing well with their new healthy perspective, but they didn’t want to “put pressure” on themselves so didn’t want to show up to some workshops I was hosting. No offence taken. But my reply? “It’s not pressure. It’s accountability.” Let’s analyse what “putting pressure” on yourself actually means. For …
Eurgh. I’ve just finished writing an article for a magazine on something I talk to people about, pretty much every, bloody, year. “New Year, New Me.” Shut up Karen. This shit won’t wash anymore. You make this empty promise every bloody year. You’re going to get down the gym, get ripped, only have chicken and …
One of the things I CONSTANTLY nag my clients about is tracking. Whether it’s nutrition tracking via apps like MyFitnessPal or simply recording their thoughts, feelings and achievements for the day.

You know what it’s like – you’ve just promised yourself for the umpteenth time that you’ll get in shape.
