The best time

I got lots of activity points last night at “fireball” in Leeds. We were all 15 years old again watching our favourite bands live. Mad Caddies and Reel Big Fish were incredible and didn’t disappoint as always. Dancing is actually a really good calorie burner if you really go for it. Google informs me upwards […]

Diary

I’m going to give the calm app a whirl. I’ve been feeling really good since having Wilf but don’t want the world’s stresses to bring me down at anypoint. A few moments a day of breathing and mindful serenity do wonders and better to get in the habit rather than waiting until you feel really […]

Butternutter

My obsession continues, I am a butternutter. I eat butternut squash at least 3 times a week. My Sainsbury’s order picker must be on my wavelength as some beasts were delivered this week. Last night for tea was lo-dough pizza with smaller cubes done in the actifry and were super delicious. (Everything is “super” right […]

Documenting

I think sometimes realising how far you have to go to get to goal can be awful. You feel like you have come so far yet still have a mountain to climb (or shift!) As I’ve set mini goals along the way, I quite like seeing the totals. My absolute goal weight is low (a […]

Tossed

I love travelling South for something as it normally means we can stop for a Tossed. It is amazing food and brilliant if you have one at the service stop as most people read the “healthy” branding and merrily skip past it on route to KFC, so it rarely has a queue. My absolute favourite […]

Weigh in

So today was my new weigh day of a Saturday, just over a week since I last weighed in. I am over the moon with 3 off. I think my body has fully got the memo we are in weight loss mode and it’s really clicked. I am really enjoying the freedom of a Saturday […]

One life

I have a spring in my step this week as despite my bad weekend, I think I am on for a loss on Saturday morning. (Insert Smithy style “Yes” when Gavin joins in singing “do they know it’s Christmas”). I have been snatching inspiration everywhere I possibly can. Eminem is my car cd (when impressionable […]

Mum work out

My back has been really aching this week so I haven’t really felt like running. It’s so important to watch your posture, especially when tired with a little one, you naturally slump forward when feeding. I have been putting effort in to remember to sit more upright and put a cushion under his head to […]

October

Instagram is so inspiring right now with other bloggers and October goals. Normally I think it’s a really good month to crack on and make a big difference before party season. With 2 weeks of it in America though I am nervous about self sabotage so I thought I would set myself some October goals… […]

No count

I am really enjoying no count this week and a sneaky weigh in suggests it’s working for me. A typical no count day today will go something like this: Bacon medallions in a ww wrap. Banana. Couple of ham slices. Butternut squaffles with chicken and broccoli. Soy sauce. Handful of fish sticks. Curry or chilli […]
