    Yesterday we had family friends over to see the new digs and, thankfully, the weather held out long enough to have a BBQ and sit outside for a bit. Today is the first Sunday we have had free for a while so I took the opportunity to do food prep for the week. I’m in…

    After arriving home yesterday afternoon I’ve been in a bit of denial at my holiday being over. I had a nap, being awake since 5am (4am UK time) doesn’t do me any good, and the one thing we managed to accomplish is buying food. After a proper night’s sleep (finally!) we wandered out for our…

    This week will be all about easy. My slow cooker will get a lot of use! Chilli, my own ‘mexican mess’ creation, and stew feature on the menu. Weather be damned, I will have winter comfort foods! It may not feel like much of a winter outside thanks to the mild temperatures and rain, but…

    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 in…

    My lack of motivation is freaking me out. I’ve become complacent. Part of me wants to be happy now, to have confidence in myself now, to love myself NOW. Another part of me wants to hate myself. And the rest of me wants the willpower and motivation to kick the other parts’ asses. To push…

    This year is certainly shaping up to be a pretty hectic one! It feels like the first half of the year has been one event after the other with little rest in between and I’m certainly suffering for it. The start of the year was off to a blinding start with Insanity in the mix…

    I’m used to having weird dreams, the majority of my dreams are the most bizarre things I can possibly imagine amplified times a million, but this morning I had the craziest dream I can recall in ages. I was travelling to the States to go visit someone and for some reason I can’t comprehend I…

    Since I’m not religious or Christian, I don’t celebrate Easter (Happy Easter to you if you do!) but I find this time of year a good time for renewal. The past few weeks I’ve been battling lethargy, emotional bursts and just plain ol’ feeling crap. Some probably due to my lack of any proper exercise…

    Hey peeps, what’s shakin’? My last post was from before I went on holiday and I must admit I was not in a good place before going away. Everything seemed difficult and I was fed up with it all. Our holiday was amazing and 10 days on a beach in sunny Cala Millor was exactly…
