I'm not crying - you are!

I love it when a client doesn't need me any more (sort of!).

LT has worked really hard and her transformation has been incredible!

More confidence
Happier
More knowledge about what food is needed
Better performance in the gym
Stronger

LT - you've been fantastic and I look forwards to seeing your progress in the future.

Due to circumstances completely out of my control unfortunately my attempt at the National 3 Peaks Challenge has to be postponed.

We still intend to take this challenge on but not until next year.

On a personal level I’m gutted but I’m also disappointed for Acorns Children Hospice that we didn’t get a chance to do more for them this year.

To anyone who has donated - thank you.

This money will still go to Acorns.

Your support and contribution mean the world.

On 20th September I’m taking on the 3 peaks challenge with a team of colleagues in aid of Acorns Childrens Hospice.

The rolling hills of Norfolk are not the ideal training ground so treadmills, weight vests and stairmaster are my friends (not!)

I’m hoping to raise £300 towards our overall fundraising target of £5000 to help support this amazing charity.

It currently costs £11 million a year to run their services and they rely on donations to be able to function.

£25 could help pay for a memory box a family can treasure forever.

£45 could fund one hour of care for a child in a hospice.

£100 could provide the funds for a family to stay over at Acorns.

If you’ve read this far thank you!

I know we all get a bajillion requests for donations but this is such a worthwhile cause I really hope I’m able to hit my fundraising target.

Any donation no matter how big or how small will be greatly appreciated.

We’ve had 3 hot days this summer so far so here is the obligatory hydration post!

You may not realise this but:

A 1% loss of body water = decreased aerobic endurance

A 3% loss of body water = reduced muscular endurance

A 5% loss of water = heat exhaustion, muscle cramps and reduced mental function.

So you can see the importance of drinking enough if you want to train CrossFit or Hyrox hard.

To stay hydrated during the day most people will be fine drinking 2-3 litres daily. This doesn’t have to be just water - other drinks count.

And don’t forget your food also has water in it.

When you exercise you need extra water and electrolytes in the heat to replace fluid lost through sweating.

So as an example - if you weigh 70kg you want to be sipping something like 400ml of water+electrolytes during a 1 hour CrossFit, Hyrox or Redroom class.

If you’re a heavy sweater or a salty sweater you may need a little more water and a bit extra in the way of electrolytes.

Something like Hydrate has a good balance of electrolytes to keep you hydrated.

Here are some general rules:

Don’t wait until you’re thirsty.

Sip throughout the day rather than chug.

Pay attention to the colour of your p*e:

A light straw colour means you’re hydrated just fine.

If it’s darker yellow you need to drink a bit more.

If it’s clear you’re over hydrated and need to back off the water a bit.

If you want any additional advice catch a coach at or get in touch with me.

Nutrition coaching isn’t always about macros, measuring everything you eat and weighing yourself every day.

Data is great - but this approach doesn’t work for everyone.

This is especially true if you’re someone who has a difficult relationship with food, body image or standing on the scales.

Sometimes a better approach is to carry out “Full Body Scans” on a regular basis and take notice of how you feel.

Over time this method of tracking progress can help with disordered eating habits, body image and the psychological burden of feeling that you have to be a certain weight or look a certain way to be fit and healthy.

Please remember that looking healthy and actually being healthy are not always the same thing.

AP initially wanted to lose weight but we soon realised it was less about reaching a number on the scale and more about working on healthy behaviours that avoided the cycle of all or nothing.

We built habits that supported his desire to be healthy, work out hard and still have a social life whilst achieving the athletic physique he wanted.

Extremely coachable, honest and hard working, AP was a pleasure to coach and is now managing his own nutrition like a boss!!

If you want sustainable, long term results just like AP send me a message and let's fix up a consultation call. Its free!!

Its possible your inability to keep to your nutrition plan is a symptom of something else.

If you're tired or stressed out, once you've finished work and/or sorted the kids out maybe you just can't be bothered to cook for yourself or plan your meals.

We all have limited bandwidth.

Looking outside of the kitchen could be the answer.

Are you getting enough sleep?

Are you stressed out?

Addressing these areas of your life might give you that little bit extra to enable you to plan and prep your lunches for the week.

And give you back some sense of control over your own eating.

If this resonates but you don't know where to start drop me a message - I can help.

AF wrote to tell me:

“I’ve done a lot of reflecting and decided to take a break from nutritional coaching. I want to have a bash on my own for a little while.

I’ve learnt a lot from you over the past year and my decision is not a reflection on you. Just the opposite!!

Thank you for the support getting me ready for Hyrox and Crossfit competitions and also for the emotional support I’ve needed”

I always have mixed emotions when a client is released into the wild.

I’m sad to see them go as I genuinely love helping people improve their health.

But I’m also proud of them when they feel they have the tools to go it alone.

Its always the aim to only coach someone until their ready to go and live their life.

If you're someone who would like to improve their health and nutrition get in touch - I'm taking on clients.

What the hell does this mean?

This is my formula for successful coaching.

P - Planning. Its a cliche because its true "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail"
E - Ex*****on. Planning is just a wish unless you act and execute your plan
T - Time. You need to be patient and allow yourself time from change to be lasting
S - Support. You need meaningful support to plan, execute and learn to be patient with yourself.

These actions result in progress.

If you need help in any of these areas in relation to your nutrition and health then coaching may be for you.

Get in touch to organise a free consultation call.

I can’t lie - I love getting messages like this.

LT has put it in the work over the last few months and it shows.

I”m proud to a part of her journey.

It’s Mental Health Week

Nutrition coaching gives an opportunity for self reflection and how we eat is often tied in to our emotions and feelings.

I need to stay in my lane and within my scope of practice but if you’d like to talk and want someone to listen I’m here for you.

To all my clients and everyone who supports my small business - a huge thank you!

And thank you to every single person who has in any way supported, donated and helped along the way with

I'm now taking a much needed break from training, work and social media.

I'll be back on 8th April and all messages will be responded to when I return.
