Miscarriage, what a sh*t word

Writing is a great outlet for your thoughts and emotions, and I think it is important to feel the feels when something happens to you. If you don’t allow yourself the time to reflect and hurt, your mental health may well suffer later down the line. Your mind might process the event without you even […]

January hump

I kind of feel like we have reached the January hump, mid week vibe to the month. The resolutions and healthy eating is in full force but I can’t help but daydream longingly back to the chocolate for breakfast, Chinese for tea days of the Christmas break. Don’t get me wrong, my clothes are saying […]

Nearly the end of the first week

As the Sunday night blues kick in, I thought it would be a good time to reflect as it’s nearly been a whole week of January! I still feel the aching “school tomorrow” sinking feeling like I am a child, it really used to kick in when the “Heartbeat” theme tune came on in the […]

New Year vision

Not at all cliche to pick up writing again 1st January but you know, New Years goals and all that jazz. The lovely Alice has done a collage board to show her “resolutions” as such and I thought it was a great visual representation. I am going to print mine out and stick it on […]

confessions

So I’ve not blogged in ages because I’ve not really been feeling particularly inspirational. I am on a strict calorie controlled diet which has helped me shift a further 1.5 stone since last blogging but I know for a lot of people, diets including shakes are the devil so I guess I’ve been feeling a bit […]

I’m baaack

So I’ve not blogged in what feels like years. The thirtieth birthday has been in full swing for the last few weeks and the weight loss has taken a back seat. I never fully recovered from Easter so I find myself currently 5 lb heavier than pre Easter and Birthday. Lines have been drawn and […]

Gym bunny

It’s been ages since I last blogged so thought I better get back in the habit! I have really upped my exercise with the help of friends and family and I have been following the Joe Wicks program which is really intense and the food prep has been mental. I’m finding it really hard to […]

Boxing 🥊🥊🥊

So the weekend didn’t really pan out as planned, an emergency dog rehome stalled the plans for a weekend away 🤦‍♂️. I did however still make it down to London for the Mahara sports event. I felt completely out of my comfort zone in all honesty and worried the whole train journey there that it […]

Fitness buddy

Who doesn’t love a good gym session with a friend. Today was the first time in years that I met a friend at the gym and she took me through an amazing circuit of weights and exercises. The time just flew by and I’m sure I worked a lot harder than I normally would so […]

I W D

I love reading inspirational posts about women and celebrating women. I guess it feels particularly pertinent this year with the heightened awareness of the treatment of women and a sense of unity across the board. I have a few niggles with it all though and fear we are heading for a situation where it goes […]
