A few years ago I was reading some article on dieting, as I am wont to do, when I came across the words – “An adult woman seeking to lose 1-2 pounds per week requires 1,400 calories per day, the same amount as a seven year old child…” I will not recount to you the […]

Facing Friday – Self-Kindness
It has come to my attention that, over this past week, I have been being unkind to myself. On Monday, despite being omgreallygoodIwenttothegymFOURTIMES I stayed the same weight as the week before – a week I had used to consume everything I could get my grubby mitts on. On Tuesday I got up for yoga […]
Crappest In The Class – My Yoga Journey So Far…
There is a lot of chat, in yoga circles, about “building a daily practice”. Or people will tell you how long they’ve been doing it for – “I first started yoga in 2010…” But this is a bit misleading. This implies that doing yoga is a smooth, linear process, where you get better in a […]

It feels like the start of a new term to me at the moment – partly because of the changing seasons (spring is finally here YES!!!) but mainly because I have changed my working hours, and now only do 3 days per week at my day job – leaving me a LOT more time to […]
Health Kick Up The Bum – Starting Point
As I have mentioned before, a couple of years ago I joined Slimming World, revolutionised my approach to eating and my body, became much much happier in my skin and lost three stone. Bloody good show, well done me, etc etc etc. Having lost three stone, I became very complacent. “I am a size twelve […]
Writing Update – March 2016
It seems I have not been doing my weekly updates for you. Oh dear. Isn’t that shit. For the most part though – I don’t care. You don’t really need to know my opinions of films that are so old they’re already on Netflix (though Wolf of Wall Street is vg, if you’re interested) or […]
