Week 6 – Bad Week
This week has been pretty bad for me, I have been ill for pretty much all of it and that has had a huge impact on me in terms of both diet and exercise. Being ill has also meant that I have been working from home all week which means that I haven't even been … Continue reading Week 6 – Bad Week
Back To Running
This illness has taken me longer to get over than I had hoped for and today was the first day that I felt up to going for a run. I am still not back to full fitness but I am feeling much better than I was earlier this week. Usually on a Saturday I would … Continue reading Back To Running
Weight Loss For Health And Life
The obesity problem has been getting a lot of publicity recently with governments and health authorities trying to find ways of solving the increasing levels of obesity in society.

Recovery Day
The cold that has been threatening to come on for the last almost a week has finally hit. I don't get ill very often which is probably a good thing because when I do get ill I have a tendency to try and carry on as though I am not ill. Part of this is … Continue reading Recovery Day

Snow and Vegan Treats
I have been running every day so far this week so I was due a rest day but when I saw the snow and ice this morning it made my mind up. With me being as clumsy as I am running in icy conditions like this is probably a bad idea. So far this week I … Continue reading Snow and Vegan Treats
