Yesterday was blue Monday and though there is some controversy on whether this is a real phenomenon it is clear that January is a difficult month. Going back to work again after the Christmas break is difficult enough but adding to that poor weather and low funds, January is just miserable. I am trying my … Continue reading Blue Monday

End of Week 1
It is the end of the first full week in January so it is a great time to assess how I am doing and where I want to be by the end of the year. The first thing that I have been working on this year is my diet. I have now lost a total … Continue reading End of Week 1
Half Week Progress
I am just over half a week into attempting to get a handle on my weight and fitness. I have been eating better but snacking is still a bit of an issue with all of the tasty Christmas snacks around me. It isn't my weigh in date yet and I am trying my best not … Continue reading Half Week Progress
Diet Day 0
I don't really like using the word diet because it has connotations of being this thing that people do for a small amount of time and then stop. However, I have a lot of weight to lose so I guess it is pointless to avoid it. Maybe I can start calling it something more cool … Continue reading Diet Day 0
I’m Back
I took a month away from social media (and pretty much everything else) to focus on writing in NaNoWriMo. For those of you that don't know what that is, it is a challenge where you try to write 50,000 words towards a novel in one month.

COVID-19 has taught me a lot about boundaries, specifically how most people are willing to completely disregard other peoples boundaries based on their own desires and personal feelings on the matter. I have anxiety which means that I am always thinking of the … Continue reading COVID-19 a Lesson in Consent
Covid – forgotten but not gone
I don't think that I can be the only person that has noticed this but it has become increasingly clear over the last few weeks that although Covid is still around people have stopped taking notice of the guidance of social distancing. I have heard a lot of people talking about being in a 'post … Continue reading Covid – forgotten but not gone
Keeping Motivation
I have been really busy over the last week or so. This is the point where I would normally give up and give in to some of my cravings but I am not letting this happy any more. I have spent too long in my life letting other things become a priority over my health, … Continue reading Keeping Motivation
Eating Healthy
Why is it that whenever I am trying to eat better, all I can think about is all the bad things that I could be eating. My diet isn't usually too unhealthy, I don't have take aways very often and I am not usually that interested in chocolate or cakes. However these are exactly the … Continue reading Eating Healthy
