Getting Back Taste AND Time!
Actually prepping my nutrition isn’t the hard part. The knowledge & understanding of what’s right for your body has taken a lot of time & coaching – THAT has been the hardest transition mindset at the outset. The organisation of the different components requires discipline, patience and dash of multi-tasking (ok just the management ofContinue reading “Getting Back Taste AND Time!”
Disability, Bullying & Bodybuilding Presentations…
So the hard work is done? It’s only the beginning in so many more ways than one!

I love my books, I feel a sense fulfilment in finishing a great text, I always have – but with space atContinue reading “A given book, a given place…”
Finding the mood? From classical to heavy rock…
I posed a question earlier… “Do you let music dictate your mood or your mood dictate your music?” It’s an interesting one as I sometimes want music to a) inspire me – when training for example – the right tune can definitely impact the velocity I feel in an opening lift. Other times I knowContinue reading “Finding the mood? From classical to heavy rock…”
