Hump day (midweek(!))

I finally had Christmas off on my scales this morning, so I have everything crossed for a decent loss on Saturday morning. We got back from an appointment so tired this evening with nothing in the fridge so a dominos was ordered. Normally I would be writing this stuffed to the brim and feeling vile. […]

sniffles

I didn’t blog yesterday as we are all so sniffly, a picture of the trashed playroom I didn’t have the energy to tidy, seemed like a boring read 😂. I did struggle a little with food yesterday. I wasn’t prepped and had a 15lb baby in my arms pretty much all day. No excuse but […]

101

When I started writing it was a little something for me to keep me focused, researching and on plan. I never expected to enjoy it as much as I do and find myself writing about all manner of things. For me it has made me so much more in the moment and been such a […]

Weigh Day

So that is food optimising 100% Monday-Friday. Am I a little disappointed? Yes! I really wanted a decent chunk of Christmas off but it is a loss regardless. My body has always been a bit slow on the uptake so I’m sure some of the rubbish I ate over Christmas was still going on this […]

Anna Barnes

I love an uplifting book and stumbled across some Anna Barnes in my local Works bookshop. I bought “How to be Mindful” and defy anyone able to flick through it and not feel a warm sensation of calm and happiness. Each page is beautifully illustrated and it helps you become more aware of mindfulness and […]

21 days

I came across this yesterday from the healthy living Facebook page. That’s only 3 weeks. How easy does that sound? Challenge accepted, Barney style. 21 days of 100 percent on plan, 10,000 steps and as many work outs as I can manage. I also did a bit of reading about sugar. I definitely have an […]

How is it going?

So day two of January and I am feeling pumped and determined. My first PT of the year is in the morning and I literally cannot wait to get fitter and fitter this year. I think the idea of “if you change nothing, nothing changes” is my mantra for January. I’ve not got rid of […]

bonne année

bonne année How satisfying that the 1st of January is a Monday? New day, new month, new year and fresh start Monday. I can’t wait to get cracking and get this weight shifted for good. My mind is in a good place so it will happen! Come on, let’s do this 2018!

Oops

So I have rejoined for the last time. I will sit in that group as a gold member in 2018 🙋🏻‍♀️. SW we have got this. I am pleased to have done it today so I can kick January off with a big fat loss on 6th January. So I am going to approach this […]

Reflection and goals

I find this time of year truly bizarre. As the latest Nationwide advert calls it the “Chrimbo Limbo.” In some respects it is fantastic, days at home with the family as a whole, Mum off work to see her Grandchildren lots, family around who you rarely see but somehow I find myself hating it in […]
