Pushing through the boredom

I don’t know if everyone is the same but a few months into a diet and I get so bored. I’m fairly well trained these days so know the dangers of quiting and how quickly my body absorbs the bad food I eat. No danger of completely falling off the wagon but I just get […]

Time to dust off the fitbit

Annette has worked her magic and I’m slowly starting to feel less like an ironing board. Time to get the fitbit charged and get back to walking my 10,000 a day. I think it’s going to seem really hard again but I’m loving the feature where you can put a photo behind the stats 😍. […]

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 […]
