• 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?…

  • Last Day of 31

    Based on how I’ve been the past few weeks/months, I was expecting to not get overly excited about my birthday or anything this year. Well today that changed! Of course I’m going to be excited about my birthday. I LOVE my birthday! So today was a good day, other than the huge bruise on my…

  • Insane in the Membrane

    I’ve made this INSANE decision to do Insanity, the Beach Body workout programme. I’ve heard about it and looked at it a few times but never really committed, but now I’ve decided why not. It’ll challenge me and push me like nothing else and I’ll be stronger and healthier at the end of it at…

  • Workin’ It Out

    This Autumn has been BLAH. Since the start of October I’ve been feeling run down and not very energetic at all. My throat’s been somewhat scratchy and I have constantly felt like I’m coming down with something. My mood, however, has been alright. We’ve been super busy, going away almost every single weekend so I…
