C25K: Week Five Reflections – 31.05.2021

Week five was a week worth of walking; a combination of the high temperatures and stress levels on the increase in general areas of my life had me feeling like giving up on the training plan. A mixture of the past cutting into the present, tempting me to revert to laziness. I walked daily, sixContinue reading “C25K: Week Five Reflections – 31.05.2021”

Fat Fridays: Off the Mark 28.05.2021

This week has been challenging, though it started well. History came zapping through my phone and pinging on WhatsApp with a ‘Hey, Unique…’ the innocence of the opening-line opened up that tiny door in my heart. Then blasted through with a missile, forcing my eyes to focus on reality. In short? There is no short.Continue reading “Fat Fridays: Off the Mark 28.05.2021”

Body Positivity: Love Yourself First!

Hey Beautiful People, Yesterday I had some downtime, where I played some music [Ice T – TEMS] and made this short video on Snapchat. I usually avoid photos, videos and indeed meetings online – I have spent many years putting this down to ‘shyness’; however, I realised this weekend that it isn’t shyness that I’mContinue reading “Body Positivity: Love Yourself First!”

Reflection: Week Four – 22.05.2021

This week I have been menstruating. I planned to go for a jog on Wednesday, but I never felt so good. I have been feeling under the weather; my GP reckons it may be a seasonal bug. Symptoms should pass in 24-48 hours. The good news is I finally have a new pair of trainersContinue reading “Reflection: Week Four – 22.05.2021”

Reflection: C25K – Week 3

What a phenomenal week of training! I trained for 6/7 days with 4/7 days dedicated to the plan. I admit that it had taken me an age to push through and get dressed. I had many occasions where I would tell myself that ‘this plan is not for me, I can’t make it! I’m notContinue reading “Reflection: C25K – Week 3”

Reflection: C25K – Weeks One and Two

Week One Erm, this never worked out as expected. Anxiety took over and I convinced myself that I couldn’t do this, who wants to see a fat woman running through the streets? It had taken me 1 hr and 45 minutes to get up and get out and about! I was dressed and ready toContinue reading “Reflection: C25K – Weeks One and Two”

Fat Fridays: How to Relax Effectively? 23.04.2021

How to Relax Effectively? Before I used to lay awake until well after 0200 in the morning. No matter what I did, I was unable to relax effectively. Some days I would struggle to keep up with my to-do list and continue the cycle the following night. I was like I was the only personContinue reading “Fat Fridays: How to Relax Effectively? 23.04.2021”

Our need to consume isContinue reading “Earth Day 22.04.2021”

Remember: Always Read the Labels

Not everything is what it appears to be on the front. Many sugars contain bone char – which is the bones from animals pulverised and mixed in with sugar, during the process. It will take you less than a minute to check the label on the back of the packet, to see whether the packetContinue reading “Remember: Always Read the Labels”

Fat Fridays: Is Sugar Sweet or Toxic? 09.04.2021

Before: I remember adding 3 large spoonful’s of sugar to any hot drink I had made. Stirring it and smiling in greedy delight to accept the sweetness I was about to deliver to myself. Sugar was my thing! Sugar ringed doughnuts, sugary sweeties, sugar sprinkled over pancakes and the more sugar the happier I feltContinue reading “Fat Fridays: Is Sugar Sweet or Toxic? 09.04.2021”
