• Time

    (Source) I have time this morning that I don’t usually have. Time to wake up properly, at a pace that seems reasonable to me. Time to think, read, connect and enlighten myself. I was reading someone’s website and it occurs to me that I used to be some of the things I see there. Artistic,…

  • Feeling It

    Seems like lately things keep cropping up and putting a kink in the works, but I’m getting better at dealing with things – not letting it derail me too much. Although this weekend has certainly not gone to plan, I’ve ended up in bed a lot, very ill and feeling incredibly awful rather than a…

  • No More

    Tonight I learned something. Had a revelation of sorts. I sometimes log my whole day of food and exercise at My Fitness Pal before the day is over, just to see what the day will look like overall. I’m probably not the only one that does this, but I find that it sometimes helps motivate…

  • In a word: Amazeballs

    That’s how my weekend has been. Friday night I cycled 5 miles. It was a longer route that I originally intended, but as I was coming up to the right turn to go back towards home I decided to carry on straight and go a longer route. I felt good, I wasn’t rushing or pushing…

  • Bye Bye, Rut!

    You might have noticed that I’ve been in a bit of a rut for the last few months. No? I did pretty good at hiding it maybe, but it was wearing away at me. Well I’ve moved through it mostly and with some changes to help me get back on track, I’m feeling a little…

  • Feelin’ Good

    Remember how I bought a bike last week? I picked it up on Tuesday night and got it home and couldn’t wait to try it out. Now, I haven’t been on a bike in oh, 16 years or so? So I was clever enough to try it out first on the short grass in the…

  • Ride On, Baby

    You remember my 2012 Inspo board? The one with the bicycle on it? And how adamant I was last year and the early days of this year to get a bike? Well I’d kind of given up on getting one this year. It was looking more and more like I’d not be able to afford…

  • Be Creative

    In my planning this week, I’ve done a bit of creative work. I love design and making things and just do not do enough of it, I know this. So finally being able to put something together that I will find useful and will help me build healthier habits is a huge plus and I’m…

  • 7 Years

    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 7…
