Whether your kids are already older, or you’re trying to regain your fitness postpartum, you know that managing a healthy diet as a parent is tough. Finding the time, energy and money to invest in your own health with so many other issues on your plate seems impossible, but there 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…
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…
I love coconut oil; I use it in just about every area of my life, and every room in my house has a little tub of it somewhere for emergency uses (except S’s bedroom; I’m not stupid!) A lot of people resist buying coconut oil because a good quality jar 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…
Ok, that title is probably a little attention grabbing/controversial… but fasting for 16 hours per day is technically what I’ve been doing for the last few weeks. It started when I listened to this podcast a few weeks ago and thought, “hey, I could try that!” The basic premise of Melissa 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…
Wow, I’ve not done a weekly weigh in for a few weeks. I fell completely off any sort of wagon, and was thoroughly fed up. I felt like there was no point in just posting a blog each week where I chronicled my poor diet, lack of exercise and Read more…
This week has been perhaps my most relaxed this year – but that and the hot weather has meant I’ve lived largely off ice cream. Not winning! Goal for last week My goal for last week was to eat a proper dinner each evening… I think I managed that most Read more…
This week was fairly disorganised, though I did manage to fit in an Ocado delivery so that there was sensible food in the house! Going to Brit Mums Live means my eating has been a little patchy over the last couple of days, but I’ve done a lot of walking! Goal Read more…
This week has beenk bonkers; I was in London on Monday evening, Tuesday was my birthday, and on Friday I was in Bristol for Blog Camp! I don’t think I’ve done too badly with food, though… Goal for last week Last week’s goal was “don’t f*** up.” I did Read more…
The last few days I have been in hernia hell (it’s a real place, you don’t want to visit). And the worst part is, I know it’s all my own doing. Time to sort my shit out. Again. Goal for last week Considering how bonkers last week was, I Read more…
I toyed with the idea of not even bothering with a weigh-in post this week, but I figure I can’t just not post if I know it’s not going to be good news! Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to stop the sugar… I have cut it Read more…
Urgh. I’ve been eating sugar. I feel crappy for it but as yet, that’s not stopped me. Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to eat actual meals. I’ve done ok with that; I’ve started buying steak and cooking that in the evenings. I am severely lacking in Read more…
