Food Glorious Food

For years and I mean years, I found solace in food. Whenever I was sad, happy, bored or relaxed I found eating food made me feel? Different each time. Preparing the food, I salivated – I knew I was making something I ‘really’ wanted to eat.      Rather than having 2 bacon rashers, I wouldContinue reading “Food Glorious Food”

The Daily Walk

I’ve not been running/jogging much lately, though I’ve been walking each day – not really on Sundays. I’ve increased my walking from 20 minutes to 45 minutes, minimum per walk. It’s been an experience getting the know a bit better the city I live in. From the roads that are covered in dust, to streetsContinue reading “The Daily Walk”

The Corset

Many years ago, back in the days where I had family members calling me Fatso! I had read an article in a magazine, it spoke about a woman with a tiny waist – She credited her svelte figure to her consistent use of corsets. ‘Corsets!’ I shouted out within the company of a bowl ofContinue reading “The Corset”

Wednesday Wisdom

The statement above resonates with me on so many levels, as I find when I don’t feel like something is going to be a challenge, I slack off. There have been a few days during Rona’s Rampage, where I don’t feel like I’ve done enough – I get back home and think? Hmm, I should’veContinue reading “Wednesday Wisdom”

To Dance or Not to Dance? That is the Question!

As a teenager, I went clubbing every now and again, but I never became someone who wanted to visit nightclubs often. When I was around 18 I felt amazing in my short, black mini dress. I’ve always been curvy but that night I felt beautiful. I used to dance the night away and dancing inContinue reading “To Dance or Not to Dance? That is the Question!”

Food: Why I Buy Chickpeas, Lentils and Mushrooms?

It’s no secret that nearly all my meals contain one, two or all the above! I enjoy meals I create with them and I’m always surprised at the results – the dishes I’ve created taste amazing. I began to incorporate mushrooms more into my diet a few years ago, after being told by my GPContinue reading “Food: Why I Buy Chickpeas, Lentils and Mushrooms?”

Fitness: Why I Chose Running?

I was asked recently, ‘What made you choose running?’ and after thinking about it, I responded by explaining that running chose me. I had signed up to a fancy gym that had all the amazing first-class facilities to use. All classes included in the membership and 30 minutes worth of personal training, at no additionalContinue reading “Fitness: Why I Chose Running?”

Sluggish

For the past few days, I’ve been feeling a bit sluggish. I guess it’s down to the current situation that our world is experiencing, which is causing me to feel a bit? I haven’t been running since Saturday, and the plan was to return after two days rest. However, when I woke up Tuesday morning,Continue reading “Sluggish”

Sugar

“Sugar, Ah! Honey, honey. You are my candy girl, and you got me wanting you!” – The Archies I visited Marks & Spencers last night to purchase fruits and veg (mainly veg), and once again, I picked up a bag of four, sugar-ringed doughnuts and placed them into my basket FIRST! After gathering what IContinue reading “Sugar”

New Moon: 22.04.2020

New Moon Tonight is the new moon, which marks the start of a lunar phase, which symbolises new beginnings! Many people around the world use moon energy to set new goals and set reflect upon past ones. After my morning run, I spent a lot of time reflecting over the choices I’ve made and thingsContinue reading “New Moon: 22.04.2020”

Lockdown: Snacks & Naps

Here in the UK, the policy on Social Distancing has been extended for a further three weeks. This came as no surprise to me: No cure found, many people are still contracting Rona (COVID19.) I’ve developed a few strange things; I now snack a lot! And nap a lot! Since the UK began social-distancing, IContinue reading “Lockdown: Snacks & Naps”

What to Wear?

What to Wear? At the start of my health journey, I knew I wanted to work out and get fitter, but I wasn’t sure what to wear. I read that its best just to put on an old t-shirt, shorts and trainers and get going. But when I did that, I wasn’t comfortable.      IContinue reading “What to Wear?”
