  • 2011 Finale

    Happy New Year’s Eve! I love this time of year and looking forward to what the next year will bring. I’m making a huge pot of spaghetti for tonight, the sauce has been on since this morning and is in the slow cooker bubbling away. Spaghetti is one of my favourite foods, but only if…

  • An Insane Christmas (Eve)

    Happy Holidays everyone! I bet yesterday was the most unproductive work day for people who actually had to work. I spent the majority of my time in the office doing some testing on our newsletters to get the spam score down. Not a very easy task when your content is all sales, finance and money…

  • Insanity Day 4

    Pure Cardio? I’m sure they mistyped and meant to say Pure EVIL instead. While the workout is only 15 minutes of 15 different moves performed for 1 minute each, it is BRUTAL. I managed to do most of the workout, I took a few breaks so that I didn’t drop dead. 😉 I’ll tell you…

  • Last Year Next Year

    There is my 2011 Inspiration Board. There’s a lot on there, mostly about health, fitness and life balance. I’m not sure I achieved everything I set out to this year, but I feel strongly that I’m in a better place than I was 12 months ago for sure. Some specific highlights: Spend more time with…

  • Insanity Round 1 Day 3

    Thank god today was Cardio Recovery!! Half an hour of stretching and yoga poses, along with a few core, balance and leg moves thrown in for good measure. I was still sweating at the end of it, but it felt really nice and here’s hoping tomorrow I’m less sore!! I had a nice long soak…

  • Insanity Round 1 Day 2

    There are going to be a lot of Insanity posts over the next 2 months, so apologies 🙂 Today was Cardio Power & Resistance and I have to say, after yesterday’s Plyometrics, it wasn’t as brutal as I was expecting, but was still brutal enough! A lot of squats, which I love so those didn’t…

  • Insanity Round 1, Day 1

    They definitely got the name right with this one. It is insane. I see why people get results with it, though. It is the definition of tough, just look it up I’m sure there will be a photo of Sean T right there… 😉 I did it, though. I got through the whole thing and…

  • We’re off to see the wizard…

    London this time of year is absolute mayhem. So. Many. People. Our weekend didn’t get off to the best start, when we were ready to go to the train station Hubby’s car decided it would refuse to start. Not a nice way to start any day. 🙁 We managed to get it moved and my…

  • Birthday Shenanigans

    So yesterday was one of the best birthdays I’ve had a number of years. 🙂 I got lots of cards, some amazing presents from my friends and family and overall had a really good day. The best bit of my day? Getting surprised when Hubby came home early! The second best bit of my day?…
