So, it's time to come clean. I've turned into one of THEM. The ones you see sweating their backsides off on the pavement. The ones who look as though they're about to die as they pound the street three times a week. The ones who take every opportunity they can to evangelise about the life… Continue reading I’ll be running through my dreams…

If ‘not now’, then when?
It's HOT! And in usual British style, the weather didn't give us much warning; it just switched from 'meh' to volcanic heat literally overnight. And, as is my usual, this has got me thinking. I went out to the RNA South West Chapter dinner last night, and I was quite sad that I couldn't wear… Continue reading If ‘not now’, then when?
Deep Breath, new start?
I seem to have a lot of 'new starts'; at least one a week, at the moment. Generally, they're food and health related, but often they can be creative, work or household based, or a combination of all of them! So I've decided that this blog post today will be a slightly different 'new start'.… Continue reading Deep Breath, new start?
The Sweet Scales of Success…
So last week I decided it was make or break in my relationship with Slimming World. I was peeved with myself about my lack of commitment to something that is obviously really good for me, and thought I'd give it one more go and, if I couldn't commit to it 100 per cent, I'd chuck the… Continue reading The Sweet Scales of Success…
Dear Slimming World…it’s not you, it’s me.
It's not you, it's me. No, really, it is. I just can't see how we're going to make a future together. I have these commitment issues, you see. I can do it for a while, go along with our relationship, play by the rules, stay faithful...and then I cheat on you. Don't get me… Continue reading Dear Slimming World…it’s not you, it’s me.
Slimming World: Back to the beginning (almost!)
So it's been a really weird few weeks. Christmas threw me out of sorts in a lot of ways, some good, some not so good, and, to be honest, I don't think I've been on top of much for about five or six weeks now! That, of course, has had a knock on effect on… Continue reading Slimming World: Back to the beginning (almost!)
Slimming World Week 3: Don’t Panic!!
This has been an interesting week, really. I'm starting to get into the flow of things, and yet there were one or two definite moments that had me feeling very tested! I've always known I eat in response to stress, and after my children decided to go feral on Saturday afternoon (I kid you not, the… Continue reading Slimming World Week 3: Don’t Panic!!
Slimming World: Week 1
I blogged last week about taking the first step on my weight loss expedition, writing about what had made me fall off the bus the last time, and thinking about the things that affect my ability to sustain my commitment in the longer term. Well, it's been a week now since I jumped back on… Continue reading Slimming World: Week 1
Back on the bus…
New term, new books! I recently posted about that 'back to school' feeling, and tonight I took another step towards getting back into the rigours of the new school year, albeit a little early. I'm one of those women who generally looks OK in clothes, regardless of a stone (or three's) weight gain, because you… Continue reading Back on the bus…
