Itโ€™s almost a year ago I did this photo shoot, canโ€™t believe where the time has gone!

Please donโ€™t perceive this as being โ€œHey! look at me, I love myselfโ€
As it really isnโ€™t like that, I promise.

I kinda just wanted to share with you, how I lacked self confidence going into this photo shoot.
๐Ÿ’ฏTotally outside of my comfort zone!
And the new found confidence this has given me.

You may remember me saying that this is the first time Iโ€™ve got my legs out in this environment.

Why?

Well, because like many of you lovelies out there you probably have bits of your body that you donโ€™t like either or you possibly donโ€™t even like yourself.

But letโ€™s stop โœ‹ right there.
Do you know what?

I actually appreciate what these legs are capable of!
Iโ€™m lucky to still blimminโ€™ have them & touch wood ๐Ÿชต they are almost 55 now & in a good, strong condition enabling me to do so much.

Iโ€™ve worked so hard and in preparation for this shoot.
I get this look isnโ€™t for everyone, this isnโ€™t what this is about.

Whatโ€™s important is that youโ€™re happy with who you are, inside & out. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Learning to appreciate & love โค๏ธ yourself.
By that I mean be confident, value you, your health , your body, your life.

Work with someone who can bring all of that including that inner you out,

Surround yourself with people who support you, make you feel happy & who are positive.

So for me this is what happened here.
I worked with a lovely photographer who gave me the confidence to be me & bring out the inner Lisa.
A Lisa who I didnโ€™t even know existed!

Finally, no prizes for guessing that this shot was taken at the end of the shoot, a much more confident me.

That confidence had stuck with me as Iโ€™m now in the throws of my final prep for my next one in 3 weeks!!

If youโ€™d like to be more confident, be a healthier, fitter & stronger you.
Iโ€™d love to help you & help you bring the best out of you โค๏ธ

When I did this photo shoot last November it certainly took me out of my comfort zone.
I mean, Iโ€™ve certainly never posed like this for one! ๐Ÿ˜‚

May I just stress at this stage not everyone I know will want to build muscle (of course it can be in varying degrees) or their physique BUT did you know that:

Building muscle isnโ€™t just about looking strong.

It may surprise ๐Ÿ˜ฎ you as to why itโ€™s so important so please keep reading.

๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸปNot only is it about feeling strong, confident, and empowered in your own body.

Itโ€™s more than that.

Check out below ๐Ÿ‘‡ why, as women we should prioritise muscle development:

1. Boosts Metabolism: More muscle means a higher resting metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories even while at rest.

2. Increases Strength & Endurance: Whether youโ€™re lifting groceries, carrying your kids, or powering through a workout, more muscle makes everyday tasks easier.

3. Supports Bone Health: Muscle mass helps maintain strong bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis as we age.

4. Improves Mental Health: Strength training is a great stress reliever. It boosts your mood and helps build resilience both physically and mentally.

5. Promotes Better Posture: Strong muscles support proper posture, reducing strain on your back and joints.

6. Fights Fat: Muscle burns more calories than fat, so the more muscle you build, the easier it is to manage body composition.

Strength isnโ€™t about fitting a mold or comparing yourself to others Itโ€™s about being the best version of YOU. ๐Ÿ’ช

If anyone is interested in becoming stronger or the best version of you please get in touch.
Iโ€™d love to help you x

This yearโ€™s theme: Lifestyle Medicine ๏ฟผ

As we know, Menopause is a natural life transition that affects millions of us women worldwide โ€” yet too often itโ€™s still shrouded in silence or misunderstanding.

๐ŸŒŽ World Menopause Day is our opportunity to raise awareness, share trusted information, and support one another through this phase.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปWhy โ€œLifestyle Medicineโ€?
Lifestyle medicine emphasises the power of nutrition, physical activity, sleep quality, stress management, and social support โ€” to help maintain health and wellbeing during menopause and beyond. ๏ฟผ

๐Ÿ‘‡What we can all do

โœ… Learn about how diet, movement, rest, and mental wellbeing play a role in managing symptoms
โœ… Please share this post to help break the stigma
โœ…Encourage open conversations in your family, workplace, or community
โœ…Offer support or listen โ€” sometimes what someone needs most is to be heard.

Letโ€™s honour the experiences of all of us going through menopause it can be a tough gig.
And letโ€™s commit to making midlife health visible, valued, and supported. ๐Ÿ’œ

You could see & make a big difference in yourself by Christmas but whatโ€™s holding you back from reaching out?

I promise Itโ€™s not just you.

Here are a few of the reasons my ladies have shared as to why it may take a while to make that first step & get in touch:

โŽ"I'm embarrassed"
โŽ"I don't want to confront it"
โŽ"I don't like asking for help - I should know what to do"
โŽ"I'll have to give up all the things I like to eat & drink"
โŽ"I'm worried you'll judge me/tell me off"
โŽ"I've done all the "diets" & nothing works long term/I get bored"
โŽ"I'm afraid of failure"
โŽ"I doubt myself"
โŽ"I don't like cooking - I don't want to cook from scratch"
โŽ"You're going to be too expensive"
โŽ"I'm not in the right place"
โŽ"I'm too busy"
โŽ"I've been thinking about it/following you for a while"
โŽ"I'm a fussy eater/a creature of habit"
โŽ"I put everyone else before me"

๐Ÿ‘‰ Does any of this sound familiar? Or is it something else?
If it does, then here are just a few quotes from my clients & of course the reviews speak for themselves.

โœ…"It's the best thing I ever did"
โœ…"I wish I'd done it before"
โœ…"It's simple, that's why it's unique"
โœ… "I haven't had to give up the things I enjoy"
โœ…"It's the best investment in me I've ever made"
โœ…"I've learnt so much"
โœ…"It doesn't feel like a "diet" because I can have what I want"
โœ…"Lisa is so supportive, knowledgeable, caring, kind & amazing at what she does"
โœ…"I've overcome & addressed old habits"
โœ…"I now feel in control"
โœ…" I feel liberated, the scales no longer rule my life"

๐Ÿ‘‰So, if you've been thinking about it for a while but keep making excuses to yourself, please do get in touch, it could possibly be the best thing you ever do for yourself.
I'd love to help you too x

Back from our last holiday of the year & iโ€™m already thinking about holidays for next year!๐Ÿ™„

Anyway, I donโ€™t know about you but booking a holiday is a great goal to work towards but so is Christmas & the New Year!

Acting now will kickstart your longer term, healthier eating and or fitness journey.

Hey ๐Ÿ‘‹ but before I talk about next year weโ€™ve got the Festive season soon upon us!
How do you want to feel for that & going into the New Year?
Sorry ๐Ÿ˜” for raising that one now!

And by working with me on Nutrition youโ€™ll learn how to:

โœ… Feel good about yourself.
โœ… Still have the food & drinks you enjoy whilst working towards your goals.
โœ… Keep yourself full.
โœ… Manage any cravings
โœ… Make better informed decisions around your choices
โœ… Lead a healthier, balanced lifestyle for life.
โœ… Reset when youโ€™ve had a busy social weekend, break or holiday.
โœ… Manage any trigger points that lead you to eat and/or drink.
โœ… Ensure you donโ€™t deprive yourself.
โœ… Be more confident

๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸปAnd/or If youโ€™re looking to get fitter & tone up โฌ†๏ธ then by working with me youโ€™ll:

โœ… Learn how to conduct your exercises correctly & safely
โœ… Learn to exercise effectively & in line with your training goals
โœ… Have the options to work 1:1, 2:1 with a friend or partner or in a group environment with other lovely ladies.
โœ… Become fitter, stronger & more confident.

If any of the above sounds what youโ€™re looking for then letโ€™s get going!
Iโ€™d love to hear from you & get you Christmas & holi bobs ready or if you need help getting back on track.

It was here 6 years ago to the very week that I made a decision that would change my life.

Hubby & I came here to this hotel the week after I left the bank; to escape the emotional roller coaster I was on & to think about what my next step was going to be.

Youโ€™ll all know already I have a massive passion for health & fitness. I know I donโ€™t really need to tell you that but just in case! ๐Ÿ˜‚

It was whilst talking to a lovely couple we met in the bar, that the seed that had been planted started to grow & come to life.
Thank you to that lovely lady x

The rest is history.
And thatโ€™s thanks to all you lovely followers & the clients I have worked with & am working with.
In nutrition, personal training & of course my classes.
Iโ€™m very privileged โค๏ธ

Whilst this holiday now comes to a close, I will always treasure this place in Turkey.

And to close apparently many life changing decisions are made on holiday.
For me I havenโ€™t looked back.
See you all soon x

We all know the basicsโ€”eat well, move more, rest enough.
But in real life, itโ€™s not always that simple. Between busy schedules, family commitments, stress, budget, and motivation, sometimes those healthy habits can feel out of reach.

Some of the BIGGEST barriers my clients face when they first reach out to me particularly around healthy eating and/or staying active are:
โ–ถ๏ธTime
โ–ถ๏ธCost
โ–ถ๏ธA limited diet due to what a client likes
โ–ถ๏ธMotivation
โ–ถ๏ธLack of support
โ–ถ๏ธSomething else

โœ…But together we find solutions.
