Even though we still have over a month of winter left I am already sick of it. I am sick of waking up in the dark. I am sick of the cold and the rain. I am sick of doing dog walks in the dark. I am trying to lead a more healthy life but … Continue reading Miserable Winter

Blue Monday
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
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
Eating for Weight Loss
There seems to be an assumption in the media and in society at large that if you want to lose weight you need to completely change up everything about your diet.

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
Lost Track
I have lost track of a lot of things over the last few weeks. Such as what day it is, what week it is and even what month it is. Even though I didn't go to many places before lockdown (I wasn't the type of person that had to go somewhere new every week) I … Continue reading Lost Track
Nice Weather and Comfort Eating
Even though I can't go out very much I am really glad that we have been having some good weather over the last few weeks. Having warmer weather and sun shine means that I can open the windows and sit out in the garden or even just look outside and see sunshine and flowers. It … Continue reading Nice Weather and Comfort Eating
The Lockdown Weight Gain
I (like many others I think) am currently strolling with a lack of motivation fuelled partially by not being able to get out and about in the daylight and partially by the stress of having daily bad news all around me. I am really lucky that I personally haven't been affected by tragedy so far … Continue reading The Lockdown Weight Gain
