My favorite spot in the garden.

I planted this space with my favorite flowers, and this time of year the fragrance fills the entire backyard. It’s one of those simple things that makes me stop and appreciate the moment.

In the summer, if I’m not in the gym, I’m usually out here in the garden.

People often think weight training is only about building muscle or looking a certain way. For me, it’s about building a body that lets me fully enjoy life. Every workout is an investment in being strong enough to do the things I love—not just now, but into my 80s and 90s.

Whether it’s lifting weights, hauling bags of soil, digging in the garden, travelling, or simply staying independent, strength gives us the freedom to keep living life to the fullest.

That’s why I train. Not just for today… but for the decades ahead.

I’ve actually been spending less time in the sun this year… yet I have a better tan than ever.

The secret? Melanotan.

Melanotan has been around for years, and I remember a lot of bodybuilders using it back in the day. I was always a little hesitant to try it myself, but this year I finally did—and the results speak for themselves.

I’ve had so many people ask if I’ve just come back from vacation because of my tan! Living on Vancouver Island, where sunshine can be hit or miss, that’s not exactly easy to achieve naturally.

What I love most is that I don’t have to spend nearly as much time in the sun, and my tan doesn’t disappear after a couple of rainy days. For someone with pale British skin, that’s been a game changer.

Almost a week and a half off training and eating off plan, so it feels good to get back to my routine.

At the same time, I’m grateful for the time away with family. Those moments become more valuable every year.

Finding balance at this stage of my life is always the goal, but if I’m being honest, it’s still hard to completely switch off the “bodybuilding” mindset. I don’t know if that part of me ever will.

A little posing practice after today’s arm workout definitely helped though 💪🏻🤣

Hot day in Lumby, and I’m taking the opportunity to slow down and recharge—both physically and mentally—while spending time with my parents.

It’s been a week of traveling, and my usual routine has definitely been disrupted. But I’ve learned that the gym will still be there when I get home. Time with the people who matter most is something you can never get back.

As our parents get older, these moments become even more valuable. Grateful for every visit.

Training update 💪

A couple of post-arm workout shots from today. I’ve been incorporating a few new techniques suggested by a friend, and the pump was definitely noticeable.
One habit I’ve had for years is measuring my arms before and after training. It gives me a tangible way to gauge how effective the session was, and I don’t consider the workout complete until I’ve chased that 1-inch pump.
Right now I’m really enjoying my training. The goal is simple: add size, stay consistent, and keep finding ways to get a little more out of each workout.
The process never gets old.

Soaking up some sunshine before leg training ☀️

There’s something about warm weather, fresh air, and a few quiet moments in the sun that helps me reset before a tough session. Now it’s time to trade relaxation for squats.

A heartfelt thank you to for this beautiful birthday gift basket. 💕 It means so much to me that you took the time to put this together and think of me on my special day. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated more than you know.

I’ll definitely be enjoying a little self-care and pampering tonight!

Just got my comprehensive bloodwork done and feeling proactive about my health!
I’m being tested for:
• Healthy Living Assessment (broad wellness panel)
• Hormone levels (Estradiol & Testosterone)
• Advanced kidney function (Cystatin-C + full metabolic panel)
• KLINRISK Panel – including CBC, liver enzymes, electrolytes, glucose, kidney markers & more
Excited to dive deep into the results with Dr. Jason Boxtart, my wonderful naturopath, and Dr. Lotz ! They’ve taken the time to truly understand my lifestyle and medical background. It feels so good to have a proactive healthcare team supporting my healthspan and helping me feel my best.
Here’s to optimizing wellness from the inside out! 💪🏻🩸
