Hands up if you’ve been thinking or procrastinating for a while about doing something for you.

Well, if you have, you’re not alone.
I’ve had 5 ladies get in touch already this week.
All looking to get started now or in the New Year.

Can’t believe I’m talking about New Year but it’s not long now ladies!

I’d love to hear from you if you can answer YES to any of the following.

👉🏻Do you need to or want to sort your diet out by getting healthier?

👉🏻Do you need to get fitter, stronger?

👉🏻Do you need to make time for you?

👉🏻Do you want to feel good about yourself & become more confident & comfortable in your own skin?

It doesn’t cost anything to get in touch & more than happy to have a no obligation chat with you x

“𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀, 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒?”
This weekend I did my second ever photo shoot.
You may recall I did my very first one this time last year.

A few people have asked me why do it all over again?

Well, where shall I start?!
Firstly, I don’t know about you but I work better & harder when I’ve got a goal; something to aim for.

And with my 55th birthday looming why not mark the occasion!
So reason number:

1️⃣ Was for the above 👆 reason - a goal 🥅 & to celebrate & mark my 55th in December.
2️⃣ Give me focus
3️⃣ Give me motivation
4️⃣ Reflect on how far I’ve come on my own fitness & strength journey.
5️⃣ Build on my inner confidence & be proud of who I am.
6️⃣ Challenge myself.
And boy haven’t I been challenged.
Hitting daily steps despite the weather & time pressures, a minimum of 5 cardio sessions in as well has my strength training whilst running my own business.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐈 𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃?
✅ It’s tested my resilience
✅ Tested my commitment to my goal
✅ Showed me that I can do anything if I want it.
✅ Learning & experience
✅ Built on my confidence
✅ It’s taught me not to feel “bad” if I don’t join in every time the way I’d normally join in on a social occasion. 🥂And do you know what? I still had a ball!
✅ Reminded me to be thankful for my body, what it can do, who I am, who I have & what I have.
✅ More respect 🫡 for myself.
✅ It’s shown me how far I’ve come in the last year.
✅ A load more gym outfits 😂🙄

And the list could go on!
But I will leave it there for now & can’t wait to share with you more of my shots once I have them.

If you’d like to work on you, then I’d love to help you.
Please do get in touch.
Thanks for reading & possibly sharing or commenting x

𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 ❤️ 𝐘𝐎𝐔

It’s almost a year ago I did this photo shoot, can’t believe where the time has gone!

Please don’t perceive this as being “Hey! look at me, I love myself”
As it really isn’t like that, I promise.

I kinda just wanted to share with you, how I lacked self confidence going into this photo shoot.
💯Totally outside of my comfort zone!
And the new found confidence this has given me.

You may remember me saying that this is the first time I’ve got my legs out in this environment.

Why?

Well, because like many of you lovelies out there you probably have bits of your body that you don’t like either or you possibly don’t even like yourself.

But let’s stop ✋ right there.
Do you know what?

I actually appreciate what these legs are capable of!
I’m lucky to still blimmin’ have them & touch wood 🪵 they are almost 55 now & in a good, strong condition enabling me to do so much.

I’ve worked so hard and in preparation for this shoot.
I get this look isn’t for everyone, this isn’t what this is about.

What’s important is that you’re happy with who you are, inside & out. 🥰

Learning to appreciate & love ❤️ yourself.
By that I mean be confident, value you, your health , your body, your life.

Work with someone who can bring all of that including that inner you out,

Surround yourself with people who support you, make you feel happy & who are positive.

So for me this is what happened here.
I worked with a lovely photographer who gave me the confidence to be me & bring out the inner Lisa.
A Lisa who I didn’t even know existed!

Finally, no prizes for guessing that this shot was taken at the end of the shoot, a much more confident me.

That confidence had stuck with me as I’m now in the throws of my final prep for my next one in 3 weeks!!

If you’d like to be more confident, be a healthier, fitter & stronger you.
I’d love to help you & help you bring the best out of you ❤️

When I did this photo shoot last November it certainly took me out of my comfort zone.
I mean, I’ve certainly never posed like this for one! 😂

May I just stress at this stage not everyone I know will want to build muscle (of course it can be in varying degrees) or their physique BUT did you know that:

Building muscle isn’t just about looking strong.

It may surprise 😮 you as to why it’s so important so please keep reading.

💪🏻Not only is it about feeling strong, confident, and empowered in your own body.

It’s more than that.

Check out below 👇 why, as women we should prioritise muscle development:

1. Boosts Metabolism: More muscle means a higher resting metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories even while at rest.

2. Increases Strength & Endurance: Whether you’re lifting groceries, carrying your kids, or powering through a workout, more muscle makes everyday tasks easier.

3. Supports Bone Health: Muscle mass helps maintain strong bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis as we age.

4. Improves Mental Health: Strength training is a great stress reliever. It boosts your mood and helps build resilience both physically and mentally.

5. Promotes Better Posture: Strong muscles support proper posture, reducing strain on your back and joints.

6. Fights Fat: Muscle burns more calories than fat, so the more muscle you build, the easier it is to manage body composition.

Strength isn’t about fitting a mold or comparing yourself to others It’s about being the best version of YOU. 💪

If anyone is interested in becoming stronger or the best version of you please get in touch.
I’d love to help you x

🌸 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 - 𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑 🌸
This year’s theme: Lifestyle Medicine

As we know, Menopause is a natural life transition that affects millions of us women worldwide — yet too often it’s still shrouded in silence or misunderstanding.

🌎 World Menopause Day is our opportunity to raise awareness, share trusted information, and support one another through this phase.

👉🏻Why “Lifestyle Medicine”?
Lifestyle medicine emphasises the power of nutrition, physical activity, sleep quality, stress management, and social support — to help maintain health and wellbeing during menopause and beyond.

👇What we can all do

✅ Learn about how diet, movement, rest, and mental wellbeing play a role in managing symptoms
✅ Please share this post to help break the stigma
✅Encourage open conversations in your family, workplace, or community
✅Offer support or listen — sometimes what someone needs most is to be heard.

Let’s honour the experiences of all of us going through menopause it can be a tough gig.
And let’s commit to making midlife health visible, valued, and supported. 💜
