Shoes Glorious Shoes

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Here’s something random, I have been shoe shopping a lot the last few weeks as I am trying to find some to wear for a wedding I am going to next month — when I was at my heaviest weight I was wearing size 6 shoes, the ones I bought yesterday were a size 3, [...]

Sweaty towels make me criiiinge.

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

As you know by now, I work out five days a week and have been doing for over two years now — but unlike most people I have definitely not grown to love working out. I still hate it as much as I did this time two years ago when I was 5 stone heavier [...]

Energy Boosting Workouts!

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

One of the many things I love about getting healthier is that I have so much more energy. It’s funny because when you are overweight and lazy the mere thought of getting up off that sofa and going for run tires you out — you wonder how anyone with a busy life finds the time [...]

If only the Internet existed then…

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

I remember several years ago when I was a teacher in the brownies, I used to spend countless hours trying to think up games and activities for the girls to play. It was hard work I can tell you, it was also hard work running around after 30 hyper kids two nights a week — [...]

A different kind of digital frame

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

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 [...]

Shoes Shoes Shoes!

Friday, December 19th, 2008

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! [...]

Need new work out gear!

Friday, December 19th, 2008

I’ll tell you what I need and what I should have added to my Christmas wish list this year if I had thought about it a little sooner — new work out gear, believe it or not I have not bought any thing new since I started this weight loss journey. I am still using [...]

Sit on Santas lap

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

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 [...]

Student Days

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

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 [...]

I need a TV stand now

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

I have been thinking of getting a bigger telly for a while, mine is a lame little 15″ CRT. I don’t need a massive one, was just thinking 22″ – 26″ and I have been searching around for a hot deal on one for a few weeks. Well last night my dad emerged from his [...]
