There'll be no fads, no shite, just real talk that makes sense. Let's get stuck in.
- 0:30Hello and welcome to a bonus episode of No Forking Nonsense and the reason why this is a bonus episode is because A) it's a little bit different, B) this is the second episode of the week and the reason why I'm doing two episodes this week is because I'm trying to manipulate the fact that I'm hoping and presuming that the only other podcast that is ahead of me in the charts are slacking this week. Maybe we can clench number one slot But I doubt that's going to happen. Anyway, this podcast here is basically a day in the life. So I'm a registered online nutritionist. I work primarily online.
- 1:07I do go to places, kind of consult here and there. But I tend to have really busy days, and instead of employing my social media girl to follow me around for a day, I thought I'd do an audio companion so you haven't got to watch this. So it's just basically a twenty minute summary of my day, so you can understand what do I actually do, how do I fill my days, and I hope you find this I guess useful, maybe not useful, just insightful as to what I get up to day to day as a full time online nutritionist. As I say, it's a little bit different to usual. It's a little bit longer.
- 1:43But do not worry, normal ten minute podcast will be back in the next episode. But I really hope that you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. It took me bloody ages to edit, but enjoy and I'll speak to you soon. Morning. It's 06:30, so we're gonna have a good day.
- 2:06Let's go. So I sound a bit weird because I've got retainers in. So I'll take them out and then go ahead and shower. Now a life hack for you is to always clean your teeth in the shower as a time saver. So I'll catch up with you in a minute.
- 2:45So the first thing that I put in my mouth is, hold on, is electrolyte powder and a vitamin C and zinc. And then you can probably hear the kettle boiling. I will have my two chimps coffee, which I've been using now for quite a while and I make my coffee obnoxiously in an AeroPress. Now if you don't know what an AeroPress is, Google it. But it is a really obnoxious way to spend about ten minutes making coffee.
- 3:22For those who care, the kettle is temperature controlled and that kettle will be, I've just unplugged it. Brilliant. So the kettle will be boiled at 80 degrees. I will grind my coffee beans and then, yeah, we'll we'll put it into an AeroPress. And that how I have my coffee.
- 3:46I have it black, no milk, no sugar because if you do do that it's a crime. So it's just coming up to just before half seven actually and I've got my coffee I've been pottering about in the Alexa stop in the kitchen doing some bits and pieces and now is my favorite part of the day. I'll sit on this chair in my lounge and I will plan out my day. I've got a journal here, I'll do some journaling, plan my day, drink my coffee and read, and then we'll properly start the day. But this for me is like I have to have a calm morning in the sense of not rushing around.
- 4:36I like it to be slow because that will set me up for a good day. We've got a really busy day today. I've got a haircut this morning, I've got a client call, I've got a coaching call, I've got to write someone's report, a plan sorry, I've got loads of bits and pieces to do. We've got to go and pick up some hoodies and t shirts and stuff for clients. I've got to go and get ironing from my ironing lady.
- 5:16We're going to go to the gym to do some work. We're going to work out, and yeah lots to do today so I'll take you along for the ride and we'll see how the day goes. So inevitably I'm running late I'm really lazy in the morning so I tend to have the same easy nutritious breakfast that everybody can have and that is a really simple smoothie. So we've got milk, we've got banana, we've got some frozen blueberries, they've just gone everywhere that's good news. And then what we've got is some spinach.
- 6:07So you know they they sell spinach in like five kilogram bags or fuck all. So what I do is I'll use a little bit of spinach and just put it straight in the freezer. So we've got some spinach in there. We've got a scoop of vanilla whey protein and then we'll blitz that up. I need to order some more proteins today, we need to remember that.
- 6:31So I'll blitz that up in the Nutribullet. I will take my multivitamins. I'm not going to tell you what brand I have but in terms of the multivitamins that I take I spend a lot of time researching what's good. So I'm really happy with these ones. What else do I have?
- 7:21Have fish oil four grams of these. Sometimes six if my joints been achy but arthritis in the family and it impacts me quite badly sometimes. And then Vitamin D and that is it. Don't need anything else. The only other supplement I take really daily is creatine which I might do a separate video on maybe one day.
- 7:48But yes, so we're gonna take the grandmoor hair out of my car. We're gonna go to my ironing lady to get my ironing. Then we're going to go and pick up some t shirts, have a haircut. So that's where we're at. I'll see you in a sec.
- 8:13What a beautiful mine. So my young lady doesn't live too far away from me. So it's not going to be a diversion at all. The reason why I have an ironing lady right is the same reason why I have a cleaner because I'm self employed and I want to make sure that the economy in this country is supported and backed and I earn more than someone who does my ironing and I earn more than my cleaner. So if I end up cleaning or doing my own ironing technically I'm losing money so it doesn't make any sense for me to do those things so that's why I do it.
- 9:07Right, gonna get my INM and, yeah, we'll crack on. Hello, are you alright? Thank you. Sorry for the delay. No, don't be silly.
- 9:29It's me. Eining has been acquired so now we've got a drive to a person who in Leamington they do t shirts and hoodies that my clients get when they they work with me because it's very important to make sure that my clients are looking good, feeling good. Also, when they lose weight, it actually becomes quite expensive because they need new clothes. So, you know, I'm just doing my bit. So, yeah, that's about a ten minute drive.
- 10:08I usually listen to, if you care, business podcasts or factual podcasts in the morning. And then in the evening, it's usually like, I don't football podcasts or something a little bit more informal. But when I'm in like a productive, you know, like work mode, I wanna listen to factual business podcasts, nutrition podcasts, like learning podcasts, just to make sure I'm properly stimulated. So, yeah, I'm gonna pop into cool tea, get these bits and pieces and then I think we'll have some time to kill. So we'll go to what should we do?
- 10:48I'll go to where I usually parked for my haircut and my hairdressers, my bar yeah, so hairdressers. The hairdressers, they have like a coffee shop bit. So I might do some work in there there because we'll probably have about forty five minutes to kill. So I'll catch up with you in a second. So I forgot to bloody record going into the to get my t shirts and hoodies.
- 11:23So I've not done a very good job there. But just know that I was there for half an hour, had a coffee, and That's it for this episode of No Forking Nonsense, where the fluff gets big and facts get served. If you found this helpful, share it with someone who could do some clarity from an expert. And make sure you hit those to see what's coming next. The key one more straight talking, no nonsense nutrition advice, comply on Instagram at Paul Mines.
- 11:53We're also doing Until next time. Eat smart, feel human game, and stop falling for the forking nonsense. You next time. Been a deck us all out, so I was going through some ideas and designs with Eddy and Cortez in Leamington. And yeah, we're gonna look hilarious.
- 12:14I wanna pimp us out and make us look us stand out when we're on the course. Right, I'm gonna get some fuel and then it's haircut time. Sorry, missed I can't believe just got carried away and then I forget about recording. But yeah it's good we picked up some bits and yeah some fun ideas coming. Just walking to my hairdresser's house.
- 12:43I'm late. Shock. So get an iced coffee. I'm not gonna have time to work. Literally gonna get my hair cut and then crack on.
- 13:24Okay. Yep. Yeah. No. Feels good.
- 13:26Yeah. Wicked. He is really good shape. He really done that well. Perfect.
- 13:29I was like, perfect. Is too long. Yeah. Do know what mean? That's haircut done.
- 13:35And now we are heading back home to get in front of the computer and do some client pieces. So just got in, got twenty five minutes until my first call. That call is with my coach. So I'm just making myself a nice herbal tea. And I'm also gonna have, I tend to see this quite a lot, I'm gonna have a protein bar and an apple.
- 14:08My call will go on for over an hour and I've actually got another call. I don't know whether it's straight after or whether I've got a bit of a break down there. The time now is twenty five to one. Michael's at one so we'll see where we're at. I'm gonna set myself up, go upstairs into the office and then we can can then yeah get all set up ready to spend a few hours in front of the computer to do some computer work.
- 14:44I don't know whether I've already said this but I am oh shit my hair. I have my hair cut every two weeks. Now the reason for that is I do obviously a lot of content and really I just don't want to I guess it's a vanity thing because I don't want to look like a shoe but also tomorrow specifically I'm doing some filming with a pub chain. It may have already have come out this thing. So you may already know about it but if not that's what I'm doing to say.
- 15:34I want to try and look relatively presentable because I don't want to look back in about a year's time and think to myself I probably needed a haircut and a beard trim And also I don't, I literally never shave because I'm not very good at it and my rule is if firstly if you earn more than, as I said to you with the ironing, if you earn more than someone and they're better at it, just outsource it because it is not a good use of time for me to cut my own hair and shave myself when I've got a good barbery does it? So yeah, I'm just gonna get prepped for this meeting. I'll give you a bit of a highlight of what that is. We are actually running a little bit behind now so yeah I've got lots to catch up on but I'll try and keep you posted on everything. But yeah the next time you'll hear me will be the start of my call with my coach.
- 16:33How you doing? Amazing, how are you? Yeah good. Going through all your documents and website. Called Ben.
- 16:41Done. Now I'm gonna I've got fifteen minutes. Do I have lunch? Yes. I'm gonna have lunch quickly.
- 16:52Then I've got another call in fifteen minutes time. So let's go. My house has got why has my house got The eating should be on a little bit. Must be nippy out. So for lunch what I do, I ain't got time to make myself something fresh every day.
- 17:12So what I'm having for dinner is some food that I had last night. And I'll just pop that in the microwave, heat it up, eat that with a can of decaf Pepsi Max and that my friends is lunch. Doesn't need to be more complicated than that. But I've not got time to make something fresh or I'm not having a sandwich That's not going to make me feel very good. So FYI, what we've got here is like a pasta.
- 17:47It's like a lean mince pasta bake thing made with loads of veg, lean mince, rigatoni pasta and some protein cheese as well. So yeah that'll keep me full and then we're gonna have this meeting. I'm undecided whether we then leave to go to the gym to work at the gym or whether we stay here for a bit longer do some bits and pieces and then go. There you go. Right, meetings done, computer work done, so now we're going to the gym to do work.
- 18:36So we're gonna go there, do some work, then we'll work out we might have a spa and then come home have dinner and then that'll be us I think so yeah next stop gym. I've got to the gym now. That was an annoyingly long journey. Wrong time to be driving. Yeah walking into the gym.
- 19:06Do some work here for a couple of hours and then I will go upstairs. The club room's downstairs to do some work. No sorry. We'll go upstairs to work out. Maybe have a quick spar if I've got time.
- 19:34So that is the gym done and day done. So just a bit about my gym. So I'll go to a David Lloyd. And what I tend to is I work in the club room because David Lloyd's have really good club rooms. So I work in the club room then I will go to the gym.
- 19:56I usually, my friend Mills goes to the gym as well so we'll work out and then we'll go for a spa together. Spas are obviously really good in David Lloyd's and yeah now I'm on my way home. It's a bit of a journey so where I live I'm about forty minutes from the rugby David Lloyd, which is really good. And then about twenty, twenty five minutes to the Coventry David Lloyd, which has just had a revamp. So that is really, really good.
- 20:29But look, I prefer rugby. Rugby. Club rooms a bit brighter a bit nicer so yeah I tend to go there. Plans now is I'll go home, I will cook my dinner then I will eat my dinner, wind down for the evening. Nothing interesting.
- 20:52I certainly won't be on my phone, on social media, I won't be working or anything like that And then I'll go to bed. If you want to know what I do re bedtime, I would suggest scrolling backwards and looking at my sleep podcast because it is very unique as to how I get a deep sleep every night. Hope you found this useful, I hope you've enjoyed it and if you haven't I'm sorry if you've got to this point send me a little message and tell me what you found most insightful and also if you've got any questions. But yeah, thank you for joining me. Have a good rest of your day and I shall speak to you next week.
