Can you believe that despite being at this weight loss thing for almost 4 years now, I have never had a gym membership or actually even stepped foot inside a gym? At first my reasoning was that I didn’t want to be ‘the fat girl’ at the gym, looking all sweaty and out of breath [...]

My other new love – Turbofire! It’s a 12 week work out program that has cardio, hiit, strength, toning, sculpting, core and every thing in between – you follow a schedule and I love it. “When I say Turbo, you say FIRE – Turbo – FIRE – Turbo – Fire” I don’t know what it [...]

Firstly – my new bike. It’s pink. I had not been on a bike since I was a kid, but I am always up for a new challenge these days and as my other half has a nice bike I thought I would get one too. My brother was cleaning out his house as he [...]

Long time no update, it’s been what – two weeks? Well the good news is that I am back on the dieting wagon after falling off it a few months ago. I’m eating healthily having cut out the naughty snacks like chocolate and sausage rolls and exercising daily. At the moment I am only doing [...]

I have realised that I have been gaining and losing the same 5lbs for almost 8 months now, it’s getting a little silly. The scales hit 8.10 at one point before Christmas and that’s the lowest I have ever been – but I gained 3lbs over Christmas and it’s been up and down and every [...]

I spent a long afternoon at the swimming pool today, it's definitely my new favourite calorie burner and is great for the winter when it's hard to get outside to run. I came home with a plan to relax though as it was a tough 2 hour session. I came across the Radisson Blue Quiz [...]

Without taking a break and in under 45 minutes – I never thought I would be able to say that a few months ago, never mind three years ago when I weighed almost twice as much as I do now. I ran my first four miler yesterday and I hope there will be many more [...]

Well I knew it was too good to be true that I would get through the entire 9 week couch to 5k plan without a migraine, but I am annoyed it happened so late on into it when I only had a week to go. I was due to do my first 5k (W9D1) on [...]

So, the day after I completed the Couch to 5k Running plan – I twisted my knee. How’s that for bad luck? I am not even totally sure how it happened, I just lost my concentration for a few seconds as there were a group of guys being rowdy and had a little wobble – [...]
