Booze And Losing Weight For Blokes
First of all I do not write this blog post from a position of being holier than thou! I still drink booze….just nowhere near as much as I used to. Throughout my 20’s and then particularly in my early to mid 30’s it was my default way to ‘relax’. The problem with it though is…
Guys Over 35 That Suffer With Anxiety
I’m slightly confused as to when suffering with a few nerves before you’re about to do something starts to be diagnosed as you suffering with anxiety. And at what point does this become a problem. I’ve always thought that a little bit of nerves / stress / anxiety controlled in the right way can actually…
Are You Actually Ready Yet?
Check out the above diagram. It’s the (quite famous) hierarchy of needs pyramid concept introduced by psychologist Abraham Maslow back in 1943. He believed that we all have 5 sets of needs that appear in a particular order and that as each level is reached we then have a desire to fulfil the next one.…
My role model blueprint
What is it about approaching a so called big birthday that makes us (me) start to look at things slightly differently? So as I approach my big four 0, I feel like I’m becoming more and more focused on others. I used to think that it was all about ME. Kids coming along definitely helped…
Why Wait?
For me it took a crappy looking holiday photo with my top off – gut hanging out and the onset of moobs ….before I sprung to life. Up to that point I had been drifting through my 30’s in 2nd gear. I count myself one of the lucky ones. Other guys don’t have one of…
Possible To Get A Six Pack Over 35?
Yes it is. But that’s not really the real question that we should be asking right here. Something more appropriate is “Are you prepared to pay the price of getting a six pack over 35?” So many of would answer YES to this without truly understanding what the ‘price’ is. Deep down we know its…
Why I’m Looking Forward To Turning 40
As I write this, I am just 7 months away from turning the 4.0! I’ve been telling myself for ages that it’s just a number and that turning 40 is no big deal. However, I think I’m kidding myself a little bit. You see I clearly remember my Mum’s 40th birthday like it was yesterday.…
How I Got Rid Of My Moobs
I had my head in the sand for years. You see, I thought that by going out for a couple of runs each week, that would cancel out the way that I was neglecting my body. The thing is life had got tough and time had become something that I didn’t seem to have very…
Your Kids Will Copy Your Behaviours: Inspire Them With Exercise
Whether we like it or not, our kids will model our behaviours. If you work 16 hour days and don’t see your family then your kids will do the same with your Grandchildren. If you treat your wife poorly the they will also do the same with their future partners. If you keep fit, take…
Success is not what you think it is
We’re bought up to think and believe that success is all about the car that you drive, the job that you do, the house that you live in and the amount of money that you earn. Through our schooling system – you’re a success or a failure depending on what mark you get in a…
