If nothing else - this section of the newsletter can be educational. I have just learnt that there is an “effect” called the Dunning-Kruger effect. Before I explain what this Dunning-Kruger effect is - I need to set the scene where my wife accused me of showing the...

In the middle of January a few clients noticed that I had a number of band-aids and skin dressings on both elbows, knees and wrists. I will try to explain why. It all started one early morning when I was walking my dogs through the paddock. I noticed a tree that had...

For some of the avid readers of my column will remember (and for the rest of the readers I will explain) – I have a theory that any chocolate, cake, lolly etc that is given at Christmas (and Easter) does not put-on weight as long as that chocolate etc is given as a...

I am caught in a dilemma - I set a New Year’s Resolution in January this year to lose some weight (to be honest – a lot of weight) and I have just stood on the bathroom scales. Now the fact that the scales let out a huge sigh and then waved a white flag as I got on...

December 2019
It is New years Eve and I sit at my computer contemplating the year that’s gone and the year that is yet to happen. I do not know about you but I always take this opportunity to set new goals for the year ahead – be it personal goals such as getting fit, losing...
