25.01.2022 So! I did a post the other day which kinda seemed like I was endorsing Bunnings. That was not my intention. ... So, let me just say... I do shop at Porters too!! Probably more often than the average non tradesperson. Being only human, I sometimes take the path of least resistance and go to the closest shop. I don’t have any loyalty to Bunnings. Porters is an iconic local Mackay business that has been around for many years and I shop there too.

25.01.2022 Muscle Garden End of Year 8 Week Weight Loss Challenge! Massive congratulations to these goal-getters for stepping up to the challenge to transform their bodies over the next 8 weeks! The stage is set! ... 223kg total weight loss goal as a group! Watch this space! Amazing is about to happen!! #letsgetit #howbaddoyouwantit @muscle_garden

25.01.2022 God I love Bunnings! So much so that I often get in trouble for spending too much time there! I’m not a tradie but after setting up multiple gyms, I’ve had my fair share of visits to the DIY wonderland! And now that it’s just around the corner from me, God help me! ... So! I went to Bunnings last night to grab a few items - one of which is this Pole Saw. The items included a water sprinkler, a soaker hose and a compound bypass lopper! Why did I go to Bunnings? Did I go to Bunnings to: Get the aforementioned items because I wanted them? Or To get the results those items would give me? Or Because I wanted the feeling I would get as a result of achieving the outcome from using those items? Are you still with me? Keep reading, I’m getting at something! Tip: I did not buy that pole saw because I wanted a pole saw or any of the other items. Say what?? I said don’t touch a black man’s radio! All jokes aside... I bought that pole saw because I didn’t want palm nuts hanging off my palm trees. I also didn’t want those palm nuts growing and falling to the ground and making a mess everywhere. I got the pole saw because I wanted the feeling of having beautiful looking palm trees. Now! Why do you join a gym? Or why do you go to the gym in the first place? What’s your drive? What’s your purpose for going to the gym? What do you want?? Without a compelling reason, and a strong why, we engage into things that we never end up achieving. Another tip: We don’t buy a gym membership because we want a gym membership. We want more than or should I say we should want more than that! We buy a gym membership for reasons such as these: to be fit and healthy to have an abundance of energy to live life to the fullest to improve our mental health to have strong bones and muscles to move freely and easily to sleep better at night to fit into our favourite clothes etc Get clear on your WHY and commit to achieving that outcome. If you have a gym membership and haven’t been for a while, here’s a friendly reminder that unless you do the work, gym memberships don’t work! #howbaddoyouwantit @muscle_garden

25.01.2022 I used to love flipping pages. The art of feeling the words on the pages, and turning them over page by page as you edged your way closer to the end of a book. Dog ears, highlighted lines and paragraphs etc. I still love that. But! If I am being honest the only books I now physically read are the ones that don’t have an audio version. Why? The truth is, since discovering audio books, consuming books has never been easier than just putting on my AirPods and listening to a bo...ok while on a run or during a workout in or out of the gym or quietly in my office with the lights turned off and the whole world shut off around me. So! With my personal experience and with the understanding that more and more people are now listening to books, I will begin recording the audio version of my book so that regardless your preferred option, you’ll have no reason to eat cotton candy but to grab a copy of my book, be it hard or soft copy, when it’s out!! As always, anything is possible if you want it bad enough. How Bad Do You Want It?! The 6 Steps To LIVING Your Best Life. #howbaddoyouwantit @muscle_garden

25.01.2022 You should have said my wife makes a good lasagna my wife lol

24.01.2022 How good are those bags? That’s the common feedback this morning from those who have collected their bags already. Even I’m blown away at how good they are! ... Unfortunately we had limited quantity to order so I only advertised them internally to our Muscle Garden Family who bought them all back in August! Things you can fit into your new Muscle Garden Gym Bag! Spare change of clothes Muscle Garden Gym Towel Muscle Garden water bottle Gym shoes Gym belt Lifting straps Gym accessories Myzone belt Deodorant can Toiletries bag Keys etc If I get enough expression of interest I will look into how I can get more. #mggymbag #howbaddoyouwantit @muscle_garden

24.01.2022 Ladies & gentlemen, my book’s front cover! I feel incredibly honoured and grateful that our Mayor, Greg, would take time out of his very busy schedule to read my book and write the foreword. Words don’t do justice how this makes me feel. The first line from the Mayor’s foreword reads:... This is probably the only self-help book you will need to have in your library for the next couple of years. He also adds: There are many books like this on the market, but very few have been underpinned by a personal experience as challenging as Kay’s... it makes Kay more than qualified to be able to say that there’s two choices in life. Wish it would change or change it yourself. Thank you Mayor Greg Williamson. To read the Mayor’s full foreword and my book, grab a copy when it comes out! When is it out? Well, strange as it sounds, I’m holding off the publishing of my book until the birth of my 3rd child. So, I hope you can wait until then to grab a copy. In the main time, I will share some testimonials from some amazing people in our community who have had the chance to read my book and write a review. Thank you and always remember this: It’s not where you are today in your life that matters; but where you want to be and how bad you really want to get there! Watch this space! #howbaddoyouwantit @muscle_garden

14.01.2022 Be mindful of the stories you tell yourself for after a while they will become your reality. I’ve always questioned why and how things are done and the mindset behind those very things. Why some people go on to achieve great level success and others remain the same?... What I found out was, it wasn’t entirely due to how smart or not, how privileged or less privileged, how strong or weak an individual was that determined how they’ll turn out in life, but by their mindset. The stories they tell themselves. The beliefs they live by that are responsible for how they respond to situations in life. Whether or not they possess a growth or fixed mindset. How gritty they are. These are the things that set one person apart from another. In my book, I talked about the mindsets I live by. The ones that helped me get to where I am today, which may not be a great deal but when you come from where I come from and have experienced things I have, it is a massive deal. Below is a testimonial for my book. I seriously cannot wait for it to be out! Watch this space! How Bad Do You Want It is a must-read book if you're looking for guidance on your health and fitness journey. Even more importantly, the book provides a how-to for resetting your mindset. What makes How Bad Do You Want It? so compelling is the engaging story of Kay’s journey from African refugee to Australian small business success story after a chance encounter with a Mackay pensioner. Read it. Use it. Apply it. It’s that simple! Kylie Porter CEO, Greater Whitsunday Alliance As always, anything is possible if you want it bad enough - even writing a book. #howbaddoyouwantit @muscle_garden

14.01.2022 How do you handle failure? Sometimes the way we respond to situations in life can either set us up for success or detail us from the path of success. Yes, I get it. It can be pretty frustrating when you don’t hit that weekly weight loss target when you feel like you’ve given it your best shot. ... Do you then self-sabotage? Or do you accept the situation for what it is and keep working. I will say to you today what I always say to my clients and gym members. Trust the process. Be true to yourself. And keep grinding. Last week I failed to bench press 150kg - the first time I’ve ever attempted such weight. To be honest with a 2m wingspan, I’ve always played it safe with the bench press. After I failed to complete the lift, pay attention to what I said at the end. Not today, but we’re coming! That is my mindset. One that I live by and one that has helped me with everything I’ve achieved in life so far. It’s not where you are today in life that matters but where you want to be and how bad you really want to get there! That’s what matters! Today is the first of October. It’s a brand new day and a brand new month. Dare to be better tomorrow than you are today!! Now go get it!! As always, anything is possible if you want it bad enough. #benchpress #150kg #PB #mindset #howbaddoyouwantit @muscle_garden

14.01.2022 Don’t wait get on board now!

08.01.2022 Amidst busy schedules and competing priorities, the sure fire way to not just eat whatever you can get your hands on or drive down to the closest fast food store, is to do meal prepping!! Make time for yourself. Your body is the only vehicle you have to navigate through this thing called life and how you treat it will determine how well you get from point A to point B. You wouldn’t put petrol in a diesel car so why are you doing the same to your body?... Yes, I get it. Your body is more Sophisticated than a car engine. It’ll take long before it shuts down. But that doesn’t mean you put into it whatever you can. Food is medicine but food is also poison. Look after your body. It’s the only place you have to live. #mealprep #howbaddoyouwantit @muscle_garden
