Mental health is something that has become much more talked about in recent years – and this can only be a good thing. However, I find that most of the discussion is around helping people who already have poor mental health. In fact, it could be argued that the entire Read more…
I bought myself a copy of The Body Coach Workout dvd ages ago, but I barely even looked at it; it seemed a bit too scary for me! At thebeginning of this year, having mostly healed from my umbilical hernia operation I am able to exercise a bit more, so Read more…
I am a big fan of Davina McCall and love her workout dvds. When I saw her new one, Toned in 10, on the shelf I decided to try it out. I’ve not done much in the way of exercise since my operation in September, but now that I’m all Read more…
It’s new year, and many of us are busy making resolutions to “be more healthy” or “lose weight” or whatever else. I listened to a podcast the other day though where Brendon Burchard said something like (and I’m definitely paraphrasing here): If you win the morning, you win the day; Read more…
For the last few months, It’s safe to say I’ve been operating in survival mode. First we had the summer holidays, then I found out I would be having an operation – and then I ended up having said operation as emergency surgery. Two weeks on, I’m feeling much better Read more…
I love my sleep. I know you probably enjoy getting a good night’s sleep too, but I really love sleep. I prioritise getting a good night’s sleep over almost anything and everything else. Both mine and S’s bedtimes are pretty much set in stone, even on the weekends or during school Read more…
Last year I bought Davina 5 Week Fit and reviewed it here. For the last few years Davina McCall has released a workout dvd every Christmas, so I was disappointed when this Christmas, I was unable to find one anywhere… and then, last month I stumbled across Davina 30 Day Read more…
Our morning routine used to be your average, run of the mill rush to get up and out of the door on time. Snooze the alarm, get showered and dressed in a rush, stress over breakfast taking too long, pleading with S to just-put-the-damn-coat-on. Then last year I read Hal Read more…
I wrote a post last week about how I’m currently the heaviest I’ve ever been, and the reasons for that. I feel like now that I’m aware of the reasons I’ve become overweight, the actual losing weight shouldn’t be too tough. So what am I doing, to get rid of Read more…
Last year I reviewed Davina’s 7 Minute Fit. I enjoyed the dvd, and I was keen to see what this year’s dvd would bring. I pre-ordered Davina 5 Week Fit and it arrived the day after Boxing Day, so I started with it the next morning, much to the amusement of Read more…
Hello! Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to have Shakeology every day… I have to say, I failed. I don’t even have an excuse. I think possibly because it’s very sweet, and I tend to like to have savoury foods for breakfast. I did have it a few Read more…
Hello! Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to get over my cold… irritatingly, I’m not quite there yet – but I am feeling a lot better! Goal for this week This week’s goal is to get back on track with the exercise. Simple! Exercise This week I haven’t done Read more…
Just lately, I’ve been getting up at 5:30am to workout, meditate and read before getting S up for nursery. When I mention this to people they say things like “I wish I could do that” or “you’re lucky you’re a morning person.” It’s not that I’m necessarily a “morning Read more…
How has your week been? Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to keep up the good work – and I think I’ve done ok. I still need to work on making sure I eat a proper lunch, though! Goal for this week This week my goal is Read more…
I own a lot of workout dvds. I’ve given away even more. I’ve done the celebrity new year dvds, the hardcore workouts like 30 Day Shred, the inbetween ones like the Davina McCall ones. Without fail, I start off with all the good intentions in the world, do the workout Read more…
How was your week? I can’t believe we’re entering the last week of August. Where is the time going? Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to work on my nutrition… I’m afraid I didn’t do terribly well with that! I had a couple of really hectic days Read more…
