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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

21 days

I came across this yesterday from the healthy living Facebook page. That’s only 3 weeks. How easy does that sound? Challenge accepted, Barney style. 21 days of 100 percent on plan, 10,000 steps and as many work outs as I can manage. I also did a bit of reading about sugar. I definitely have an […]

How is it going?

So day two of January and I am feeling pumped and determined. My first PT of the year is in the morning and I literally cannot wait to get fitter and fitter this year. I think the idea of “if you change nothing, nothing changes” is my mantra for January. I’ve not got rid of […]

Reflection and goals

I find this time of year truly bizarre. As the latest Nationwide advert calls it the “Chrimbo Limbo.” In some respects it is fantastic, days at home with the family as a whole, Mum off work to see her Grandchildren lots, family around who you rarely see but somehow I find myself hating it in […]
