Pump it up

The alphabet exercise I shared yesterday got me thinking how it might be an easy way to increase my daily exercise and improve my overall strength. So last night I sat down and put my own achievable exercises next to letters of the alphabet and decided to pick a random word for each day. Today’s […]

Wasted day

I hate wasted days. We have been in most of the day waiting for a Tesco delivery to no avail. I watched the van pull up down the street at our allotted time to the wrong house 🙈. I patiently awaited the phone call to ask if it was right but he drove off. Bye […]

Weigh day

2 off for me this week. 6 for January so far and Christmas fully off. I am pleased but I did want a little more for the effort levels. Never mind it’s going down which is the main thing! 8 to lose next week for stone off January then? 😂😂😂😂. We had a beautiful walk […]

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 […]

The day before

How can it be Friday again already? Mental! I always feel a bit reflective on a Friday, could I have done more for weigh in tomorrow, or more importantly should I? I know I am not drinking enough, I can’t seem to get myself back in the habit. I think not being at work makes […]

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 […]
