Bikinis, Body Fat and Balance!

You’ve booked the holiday! You can’t wait! You’ve been so stressed out lately you’ve forgotten who you are. Exercise has become non-existent (there’s just no time) and your eating has been all over the place…But the holiday will get things back in balance again, right?

A tale of two children…

A tale of two children… Flexing some “transformer” muscles! One thing I’ve realised as a parent is you can lead a kid to healthy food, but you can’t make them eat it!” I have two kids – two kids that have very different nutritional radars! My son Riley is 12 years and he loves some junk in…

Why Oh Why?

When we talk about transformation we  talk about our why…why we really want to make a change to improve our lives? It’s the thing that drives us to get to where we want to be. What’s driving you to your goal? Recently I’ve been following closely the “whys” put up on FB and through people’s blogs.…

Journey to Molokai – No 1

So here we are, 26 years later planning the race of a lifetime – a 52 km race across the Kaiwi Channel from Molokai to Oahu. Stubbsy (in the yellow vest) at the recent Freycinet Challenge.…

Growing Vegies and Transformation Challenges!

Since the start of Spring I have had an unbelievable urge to “re-start” my vegie patch. The vegie patch has always been a bit of a failure for me. When I’ve tried before life’s got in the way…the kids; the business;  I always felt too tired and too exhausted to add anything else to the already over flowing list. The…

Take 5 with Dave Oulton

HH had the opportunity to Take 5 with Dave Oulton recently.  Dave served in the Gulf War (peacetime operations) and has completed numerous Ironman, marathons and gruelling 24 hour Obstacle races!
