Fabulous Friday

Wilfred was a complete legend this morning and napped for nearly an hour, giving me a chance to wash my hair and put a full face of make up on. Huzzah! I feel very human right now 😂. I am fully zoned for food today so got everything crossed for a decent loss for weigh […]

Sitty-Downy

In the words of my three year old, I’ve had a very sitty-downy kind of day! Lots of coffee and lunch out so not much pacing! It would have been so easy to continue this theme and collapse on the sofa watching paw patrol before bedtime. (Bedtime for my children, not me, I hate it […]

Positive attitude, cleanse the negative nellies

So Monday was supposedly Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year with the most suicides etc. Cheery eh? It really got me thinking though about the importance of a positive mental attitude for your life and ultimately health. As we know, a diet or life style change is successful if your mind is […]

Smashing goals

So I have been lazy with my step goal and lazy with my water intake. Fresh start Monday means it was time to ramp it up so I set myself mini goals. I wanted to get 10,000 steps before 4pm and drink 2 litres of water in that time too. It really worked well as […]

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 […]

Quiet rainy Thursday

A quiet Thursday allows for some food planning and a hot cup of tea. Well that was the idea anyway, Wilf had a different vision for our shopping trip, with 10 minute power naps over his usual 2 hours and projectile vomit in the shop 🤦‍♂️. I feel like I am walking like John Wayne […]
