My chest infection is currently kicking my butt. With all the coughing and spluttering and very limited lung capacity working out just isn’t an option until I can breathe a bit easier. I made the decision (mistake?) to weigh myself yesterday and I am officially back to my highest weight, which I last saw…
I had intentions of starting Insanity this week. Unfortunately, my lungs had different intentions and instead of sweating and digging deeper, I’m laid up with a chest infection. Chest infections are particularly bad for me because I’m prone to bronchitis and asthma and anything closely related. It always takes a long time for me…
It’s been almost 3 full weeks since I gave up cow’s milk dairy products. I quickly adapted to using almond, soy and oat milk, all of which are good for various things and pretty darn yummy. Chocolate oat milk is delish in a protein shake w/ a banana. Almond milk is good with berries…
When I find a workout I really love I become attached. It’s the same with anything – food, music, a place I like to visit, shopping… So when I loved Insanity so much earlier in the year, I knew it would definitely become a part of my regular workout rotation in some form. What…

I promised food porn, so food porn there will be! But first, a quick little update. Phase 1 of SBD is giving me hell this time around. Headaches, lethargy… it didn’t help that it coincided with the worst possible week so I was especially cravey and cranky. But I got through the first week…
It feels like more and more often I’m having meh days, bad days or just plain ol’ horrible days. Over the past week I’ve felt like I have gotten myself back and you know what? I’ve missed me!! I enjoyed today. Yeah, I was at work and that kinda sucks, but overall I had…
It’s been 16 days since I’ve done any exercise now, so my recovery time from Insanity is done. During Insanity I was doing more exercise than I’ve ever been used to doing, and it felt amazing and had more benefits than I realised, the linch pin was stabilising my mood. I noticed it a…
I have now officially completed Insanity! 2 months of hellish workouts and pushing myself like never before is now over (for now anyway…). This whole programme is amazeballs and Shaun T is one of the best motivators I’ve experienced. He is what made the workouts for me, I don’t think I would have stuck…
