Hello all 👋🏽 I haven’t posted much on insta of late, in all honesty the effort I was putting into posts etc wasn’t really yielding much and I was getting a better return on my efforts elsewhere.

I still remain no less passionate about health and fitness, so much so I’ve been fortunate enough to co-author a book titled ‘Happy Healthy Wealthy Entrepreneurs’.

We’ve only soft launched the book this week and it’s already trending in Amazon’s business and entrepreneurship lists, which is quite frankly mad!

My contribution to the book is about the ‘7 things I wish I’d know when getting started’ and is a personal account of the lessons I’ve learnt (and am learning).

If you have some spare time and a spare 99p, I’d be very grateful if you would buy a copy of the book and leave a review (you don’t have to have read the whole thing to review!) 😊

Thank you 🙏🏽 and here’s the link - Happy Healthy Wealthy Entrepreneurs https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B919Y1ZQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9A12063HECZWMDBAH3CM

Guys, I’m sure you’re smashing it whatever you’re doing, so never forget to treat yourself!!

Balance is all about creating sustainable habits, making sure you enjoy yourself and not giving yourself a hard time!

I try to eat healthy most days, but just like most of people I love a bit of fast food!!

What’s your favourite, pizza or burger & chips for a blowout?? I can’t decide to be honest, is it ok to have both....?

Remember clocks go forward tonight!! ⏰⏰⏰ One less hour of the weekend, so make the most of it, but lighter mornings and evenings are coming!!!

Much love 🙏🏽

Thought I’d share something different today...given it was Mother’s Day, the little man and I went out on our new bike to give Mumma a little rest this morning (cue Dad pose on bike...)

We then took a trip to the local bus garage and then made Mumma a chicken pie and mash as a little comfort Sunday lunch.

It’s been an intense last month since I started a new job, and I’ve also taken on new PT clients as well other projects have kept me busy too, and whilst there’s a lot going on, reflecting on the last month I’m feeling so much positivity in every corner.

Saying all that, family are my number 1 and this weekend I’ve focused on them to get some balance back. It’s easy to get consumed by everything going on in life, but just stepping back from the noise sometimes is the best.

Got the movement in on the bike too😉🚴🏽‍♂️

A little personal post on . These are the most important women in my life, who I admire for their strength, resilience and patience amongst everything else. I wouldn’t have achieved half the things in my life without their love and encouragement.

I am lucky enough to have many women in my life who I admire, learn from and look up to, be they family, friends or colleagues.

We have so much to gain from embracing our diversity and differing perspectives, and I’m thankful to all the many positive female role models in my life this
