    So I’m working on a new design for the site and as I was going through photos I found a truly horrendous one of myself, taken in 2008, almost 4 years ago. It actually shocked me, because it didn’t look like me. And I realised that even though I’m not losing a ton of weight,…

    Most people have heard this phrase. It could be in relation to just about anything, too. I have a problem with this “advice”: it doesn’t work for me. I faked being happy for a very long time, probably longer than I even know. I knew something was wrong but just ignored it and hoped that…

    I’ve got some good motivation in the next few months to stay focused on all my goals: Chevron 7.8 is the last weekend of February. Amanda Tapping – need I say more? <3 I’m seeing Florence + The Machine with my lovely, gorgeous princess of a friend the first weekend of March! I have been…

    Ugh, I am going through withdrawals! Exercise, definitely! With the exception of a hike and a walk last weekend I haven’t done any and I’m missing it – big time. Monday I’m back to it thankfully. I have an annoying pain in my neck right now which makes it a bit difficult to do anything…

    My, my this week has been a killer. It certainly didn’t go as planned for me. I spent Monday night and Tuesday in Belfast with a few colleagues for our annual meetings, which thankfully all went smoothly. But once I landed at Bristol and was enroute home at 9pm… that’s when things start going badly.…

    I’ve been quiet this past week, mostly due to migraines. Both Tuesday and Wednesday it was all I could do to come home from work and get straight into bed: no lights, no sound, just rest and hope the migraine goes away! I’ve been extremely exhausted this week, too. Possibly from overdoing … everything, which…

    Happy Saturday! With my exhaustion yesterday, I was glad to be able to push through my workouts. Once they were done I managed to crawl upstairs and collapse in a heap on the bed and didn’t move for about an hour! I half slept, half rested, but was really grumpy from being over tired and…

    The first week back after time off is always the hardest! I kept up with Insanity workouts and even made it to the gym for a workout and an abs sesh on top of it. I am super exhausted today though, and work was a bit of a struggle I must admit. I have a…

    Here is my Inspiration Board for this year. There’s a lot LESS on it this year compared to last year’s board. I decided insteading of just making a collage of everything I want to do EVAR… I would focus this year on a few things that are important. Complete Insanity – If you’ve been reading…
