    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…

    Going back to work is always hard after time off, this past week was no exception! I think I did things in the right order this time, thankfully. So I’m still on track with everything! I started Insanity just after New Year and I’m in the middle of week 2 now. My rest day is…

    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…

    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 to…

    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 usually…

    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 and…

    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 little…

    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 with…
