Mindset

All time is equal but some time is more equal than others…

There are so many reasons people give as to why they don't exercise - too expensive, too hard, I'm not fit enough, I've got bad knees, I've no-one to go with. All valid points - none of them are totally insurmountable but all add to the barriers that might make it harder for people to be active especially if you are not super

The Holiday Postmortem 🙈

I've just come back from a fantastic few days in Wales celebrating my mum's 70th birthday - it was so lovely to get together again; we were blessed with glorious weather, lots of fun times were had by the pool and on the beach, and lots of delicious food and drink consumed - a fabulous champagne breakfast, a family pub meal (finally), toasting

Mum tums, muffin tops and wobbly bits

You show me a woman (or man for that matter) who loves absolutely everything about their body, and I'll show you a liar! That's harsh, I suppose there are those rare unicorns out there somewhere, but I've never met one. When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you look at? Your smokin' hot legs? Your fab-u-lous cleavage? Course not! For some

Warning! Exercise may cause happiness

There are loads of reasons why I choose to exercise - I know it helps to manage my weight, I know it lowers my risk of heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and there are lots of other great physical benefits.

There have been several occasions that have warranted a treat night; a couple of birthdays, Valentine's Day, pancake day,

The First Hurdle

So just over a week into the new year, new me plans and I've hit my first hurdle. And it's a bit of a whopper! The whole family has been struck down with the dreaded C-word. Yep, Covid has hit - first the kids, then me. We're lucky though - the kids are fine barring a loss of smell and taste (the eldest's

New Year, New Me…again

How many times have you started the new year with a resolution that this will be the year that you become your healthiest, lightest, fittest? Thought so! I’m the same. Every year since I can remember, I start the year really healthy and gradually things slip back into the same old pattern. Until after Easter, and then I start again, in a bid
