A wonderful, colour filled, guided walk through Glendevon today, a very understated area of beauty and wildlife. And calm. ![]()

A very serious question![]()
![]()
Rhubarb and……………..?
It’s a genuine thrill for me to still be able to join in with my kid’s activities (especially Liam 😳😳) and not embarrass myself or them.![]()
![]()
It’s no longer about aspiring to be an elite athlete, but definitely about doing as many of the right things as possible to keep having moments like this for many decades more hopefully.![]()
![]()
Good (not perfect) nutrition absolutely helps, trying to be positive helps, getting a decent sleep helps. And I am not preaching, I am no expert at any of these. But doing little things a tiny bit better can have a HUGE accumulative effect on health and longevity.![]()

3 Peaks for Tanzania ![]()
![]()
Thank you everyone for your patience. We finally got some weather that made this achievable and very importantly fun for us both.![]()
Logan has managed to achieve his fundraising goal of £3000 to allow him to go to Tanzania with the Vine trust to make a significant difference to some families lives in real poverty. And I’m sure allow him to grow as a person at the same time. I couldn’t be prouder.![]()
![]()
And for me,getting to have a wonderful wee adventure with my boy. I don’t chase possessions, just experiences and time with people who matter to me.![]()
Win win 😊![]()

#3peakschallenge #vinetrustcharity #bennevis #scafellpike #snowden
Both this weekend and last weekend was meant to be myself and Logan doing our 3 peaks challenge. ![]()
Unfortunately on both occasions it has been postponed due to basically bloody awful weather up in the hills.![]()
Whilst I love a good challenge I am not willing to put mine (and definitely not my boys) safety at risk. ![]()
But we absolutely will be heading off the moment some respectable weather comes our way. Thank you everyone for the donations so far, we are now at over £2300 raised for Logan’s trip to Tanzania.![]()
Still time to donate too 😊![]()

I will be participating in the 3 peaks challenge with my oldest son Logan, who is looking to raise funds for visiting Moshi in Tanzania.![]()

The purpose of his trip is to help build permanent and improved housing in the area, along with experiencing the culture of the local community.![]()
It is sure to be a life changing experience for him.![]()
![]()
He is looking to raise funds for this wonderful trip, and while this is my business page and not something I would normally do, I hope you appreciate this is worth the exception 😊![]()
Every donation counts and feel free to have a read about the wonderful work that the Vine Trust provides.
For flips sake, I don’t think Santa has even climbed into bed yet 😳![]()

I am pretty much teetotal nowadays, I am neither for it or against it, it’s just the way my life has gone that I don’t really bother.![]()
![]()
I have made 2 exceptions in the last 6 months. To toast a great man in my friends life, and with my brother, remembering the greatest and never forgotten man in ours.![]()

Hope you all have amazing nights out.![]()

I made a conscious choice 3 years ago to scale the business to focus on the things most important to me.![]()
To always weigh up whether the extra money was worth spending time with those most important to me.![]()
To spend less time on social media in general.![]()
So I am as nicely busy as I want to be 😊![]()
And yes there may be a couple of spaces available going into December 👌👌![]()
![]()
I promised myself I would enjoy every moment of my boys lives growing up. And despite that it is still going in a flash.![]()
![]()
And I can help you with these same priorities and principles.![]()

I put this out over 7 years ago, and unfortunately not a massive amount has changed. ![]()
How about enjoy all of these foods and be happier.
I think perhaps there is a belief that I don’t work as much anymore. But the truth is the exact opposite, I am as busy and passionate as I have ever been, and I am extremely lucky that the work I do I ensure I enjoy as much as the people I am working with.![]()
![]()
The reasons I don’t generally promote on social media are![]()
• I don’t want to![]()
• I don’t need to![]()
• I hate being the centre of attention and I much prefer showing off food and hills 😊![]()
![]()
And I am still constantly learning. This weekend I was down In Nottingham at a wonderfully put together sports nutrition conference with some world renowned experts. Meaning the information provided was cutting edge, up to date and strongly scientifically backed.![]()
![]()
It is and always has been important to me that people get the correct factual advice, not just what sounds trendy at that moment, and this will always be the case.![]()
![]()
Oh, and the Vietnamese restaurant I went to was another level 😊![]()

Great fun talking to the next generation of budding professional footballers with some nutritional and hydration tips.![]()
![]()
I always tell the story of when I was a budding player at Rangers and my post training nutrition with my dad was a fish supper and a glass bottle of Irn Bru 😳![]()
![]()
Great memories, but also thankfully nutrition advice has moved on a bit since then, and I am thrilled to be in a position to pass this on.![]()
The difference it can make should not be underestimated.
3 years ago today I started my mountain leader qualification.![]()
![]()
Nutrition and health was my world but I wanted to develop my career in a way that incorporated another life interest of mine.![]()
![]()
The goal is never money, just about doing the things I love and am passionate about as much as I can in both my personal and business life, and do it with people important to me. ![]()
![]()
It has opened new doors for me with my primary nutrition business focus (ultra runners, trail runners, rock climbers) so I can’t ask for more.![]()
![]()
Not a fake social media life, far from rosy, but positivity wins.![]()

On our holidays, my gorgeous youngest laddie has been educating me wonderfully on what food is healthy and unhealthy, that we should be trying to eat lots of fruit and veggies as much as possible, and avoid junk food.![]()
![]()
Which I wholeheartedly agree with.![]()
![]()
I also wanted to add that in my opinion, healthy food could be food that makes you smile and happy.![]()
It could also be food that is eaten with people you love or are important to you.![]()
![]()
Yes, I agree that we should eat as much ‘healthy’ food as we can, but also make sure we are happy too 😊😊❤️![]()

I have been visiting Milas cafe with my gang since they were wee boys.![]()
![]()
We all have wonderful memories in there.![]()
![]()
It has been our absolute go to for the best cakes around. Gigantic delicious chocolate and carrot cakes have been our staples. ![]()
![]()
Inside it looks like a diner from 30 years ago, very basic, no frills. Wonderful.![]()
![]()
And today was their last day for business 🥲![]()
![]()
I do not know them personally, we are just customers. But they have always been friendly and of course their food amazing.![]()
So I wanted to say thank you to them. I am hopeful they realise the happiness and memories they have given myself and the boys.![]()
![]()
Health is about so much more than just eating ‘healthy’ food. It is about enjoyment, time with people important to you. ![]()
And of course lovely scran ☺️ ![]()

I know honesty boxes are hardly new, but something about them just make me feel calm and content,![]()

Thanks to my friend I was introduced to this wonderful wee honesty shed in Perthshire, full of wonderful farm produce, coffee, cakes and delights.![]()

All local and the owners (who I have never met before) were friendly and welcoming.![]()

If you can’t stick to your calorie deficit, it doesn’t seem a great idea to increase it further, and ‘hope’ that works 🤔![]()

The New Year Shape Up 2024 is now OVER.![]()
![]()
At the end of every single Shape Up that I do I am blown away and humbled by how well people have done and happy they are, with what I believe to be simple, practical, realistic approaches to health. ![]()
![]()
This was a wonderfully engaging, supportive group, people really focusing on their health and wellness which was quite humbling to see.![]()
It has been a genuine pleasure engaging with over 27 thoroughly pleasant, supportive, friendly and motivated people from all over the UK and from a massive variety of professions and watching them help each other day in day out.![]()
![]()
Maybe I will do it again 😀🤔
Wonderful day![]()
