As you (hopefully) know, I believe in everything in moderation. Restriction of anything you really like can lead to a blowout.

I remember when I was prepping for the bikini competition and I would find my Instagram feed full of calorific foods oozing with Nutella. My body was craving...

I had a client ask me on our Live Q&A this week:

"I signed up because I want to get strong and lean but I really enjoy running and I don't want to be too sore to go for a run. Should I keep my weight training light?"

Important things to consider before making any decision:

...

I forgot that one of my favourite use of these emails is to recommend some books that have improved my life or really got me thinking.

One that I’ve previously recommended and might even re-read myself is Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson

On Sunday, my friends were hungover (I was smug and fresh after one weekend of being my best self!) and we were chatting about when we would "stop going out".

It made me think of when I started (legally) going out at the age of 18 and just kind of presumed this would be a short-lived...

 I'm sure you don't need me to remind you that it is Valentine's day. The pictures of the loved-up couples were already appearing all weekend as people celebrated before today.

And I'm sure you also don't need to remind you that Instagram can be a complete facade for an unhappy...

Myself and Sinead have come down to Uluwatu to be productive and feel our best. We live in Canggu in Bali, which is my favourite place but there are so many distractions, like long training sessions, margaritas and people to chat to in every cafe.

That's not necessarily a bad thing but...

I'm so happy to be 'home' and getting settled into a new house and my old routine.

I can't wait to train and eat all the tasty food that is available here.

It got me thinking about how easy it is to get lots of micronutrients in here, while enjoying my food because they just make...

I'm sure you've heard about the murder of Ashling Murphy in broad daylight along a stretch of the canal in Tullamore, named "Fiona's Way" after another missing woman.

The shock from when I first read the article has been replaced by anger and helplessness.

There is something wrong...

I hope you had a nice weekend. It doesn't feel like a Monday to me because I have been in hotel quarantine for 5 nights/6 days now and all the days felt the same. Although I did eat may too much yesterday, which seems to be a Sunday habit I need to drill down on.

ANYWAY. I have had so many...

Following on from yesterday's email about motivation, I just want to stress how important it is to quantify your goals.

Maybe it's just me, but having a realistic target to aim for, means I am so much more likely to do something.

Using the terms like "workout more" or...

You might not have asked for it but it’s probably the thing I am asked about the most in a question box.

I might come across as a motivated individual if people keep asking me that (I’m actually only motivated early in the day. I’m very lazy in the afternoons.)

I hope your January is going well for you. I've just landed in Jakarta and into 6 nights of hotel quarantine so I have time again to write an email! (I'm still not promising daily though!)

Normally I am flat out working at this time of year but this year, I wanted to enjoy my time at home...
