It was meant to be my weigh in day today. I knew the batteries in the scales were running low so bought a pack on Monday when I was shopping in Tescos. I put them to one side to change the ones in the scales. Only, when I actually got to them, there was just the packet left…

Blogmas {Day 13}
This is just a quick post today. It was one of those days where I felt busy all day but didn't really feel like I achieved anything! I was due to go swimming with Gary at 330 but I'd forgotten that I had a tutorial for my master's at six. I needed food to be…
Blogmas {Day 12}
Exercise is a great appetite suppressant, did you know that?! I don't think I did, but I do now. I had a great productive day, attended Jess' (Thomas' girlfriend) display at her art university, which was excellent, and finished the day off by swimming 46 lengths and spending some time in the sauna and the…
Blogmas {Day 9, 10 and 11}
Helloooo, and welcome back to another blogmas accountability post. I have had a crazy busy weekend and been meeting myself coming backwards. All this busy-ness which included socialisation had the knock on effect of absolutely no sleep. Today I have been tired in my head. By this I mean my mind is completely exhausted by…
Blogmas {Day 8}
Whoops, I forgot to post yesterday! Not that I'd done badly, I just was having date night with Gary and Blogmas completely escaped my mind! All About Organisation Yesterday was a slightly odd day both food and exercise wise. My big goal for the day was to go through our whole bedroom and reorganise and…
Blogmas {Day 7}
The first thing I did this morning was weigh myself. It has been a week and I just felt like I had lost weight. And I had! Four pounds, to be exact. I am over the moon! Insomnia A couple of hours later, the insomnia clinic phoned for our appointment. It lasted almost two hours!…
Blogmas {Day 6}
After a night of very little sleep, I woke up feeling out of sorts. Gary's off on holiday from work at the moment, and I find him very distracting and am completely unproductive when he is around! That said, we did manage to make our way to the swimming pool after we'd dropped the younger…
Blogmas {Day 5}
Soooo, after swimming yesterday, I came home, had a bath and then quickly wrote my post for yesterday. I was surprised to find that by around ten I was genuinely tired. Not exhausted and buzzy (my normal) but really relaxed and tired. Reflecting on why this was, I think the subdued lighting in the swimming…
Blogmas 2023 {Day 1}
I'm thinking I didn't think this through! Yes, I know, that absolutely sounds just like me! I've been sitting here for ten minutes thinking about what I'm going to write. I never do that. Usually I just write. Health Writing about what you've got up to fitness wise and nutrition wise is just not very…
Blogmas {Introduction}
Traditionally, I've taken December off to spend time with the family. This was absolutely the right thing to do when the children were younger. This year all five children are so incredibly busy socially that Gary and I don't really get a look in! This makes me happy and sad in equal parts. Happy because…
