I am OK with that. I weighed in on Christmas Eve and had lost 1lb, making me 11.3…but I didn’t log it because I knew I wouldn’t be staying at that weight for long. On Sundays weigh in I was 11.5, so I gained 2lbs in the three days I was off my diet — [...]

I am one of those people who love looking at photos, it’s one of the main reasons I love facebook so much — I can happily spend hours looking through peoples photos, it’s my first port of call when I log on and I will even look through 100s of photos of people that I [...]

A 1lb gain despite working out twice most days last week, a 1lb gain just before Christmas when I had hoped to lose a few pounds so as that I would have more leeway about what I eat over the festive period. Poo. Never goes the way you want it to does it? Oh well, [...]

I am not a girly girl in most ways — I don’t cry at soppy films, I don’t obsess over male celebrities, I don’t live for ice cream — but one way I am very much a girly girl is when it comes to shopping and shoes, the two best activities in the world everrrr! [...]

Have you got a wish for Christmas this year? Well sure you have, everyone wants something at this time of year — especially children. With the digital age as it is now I was not surprised a few days ago to discover that you can now experience visiting Santa, sitting on his lap and telling [...]

I am about to set up my replacement elliptical that arrived yesterday, and then tonight I shall be going like a mad woman on it for what will be the first time in over two weeks now! Even though I feel unwell, even though setting it up will be a work out in itself — [...]

I was thinking earlier about my days as a student, and how it would have been so much harder to resist the temptations and motivate myself to lose weight back then. I lived in some real dives in my time at Leeds Met, with some real awful roommates and some nightmare landlords. We had no [...]

As of Wednesday, when I get my replacement elliptical — I am going to do aerobics in the mornings and elliptical in the evenings for at least 6 days. Having this week off when I hadn’t planned for it has freaked me out and with Christmas just around the corner I feel I really should [...]
