Little things

Returning to work after Christmas can feel dark – literally and metaphorically.   If you’re in an office job like mine, you’ve hopefully had an extended break from the office and the routine that goes with it. The fear, which starts when you realise you can’t remember your network password, what you were doing before the break,Continue reading “Little things”

Six months in, six more to go?

I’ve been working at home for a little over six months now. I can split that period into two three-month chunks – before Teddy and after. One of those periods felt less stressful than the other. And despite the convenience of a three-month old baby to blame, I don’t think that gives the full picture.Continue reading “Six months in, six more to go?”

Take time to unplug

This time last year, I dug out my sleeping bag and headed, via Leamington Spa, to an event called Comms Unplugged. I knew little of what I was in for.

Every year I start with good intentions to lose my Christmas weight and generally be fitter. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. There areContinue reading “In the zone?”

I write whilst the wounds are still raw! So to summarise: 1) Keswick to Barrow walk (40 miles)2) Coast to CoastContinue reading “The third and final challenge”

Hello?

At the request of @fawcylad, here’s a new blog, and the first of a series of two. The best thing about my blog is how I post frequent updates about my weight loss journey, which engage and inspire others. Well, I don’t do that, but it was my plan. However, the truth of the matterContinue reading “Hello?”

How not to cheat

A bit of a variation on the subject I touched on in a previous blog. There are lots of ways that you can cheat a little bit, whilst doing a diet, not least if you throw some (extra) exercise into your routine. However there are lots of ways that I wouldn’t recommend too. I’ve triedContinue reading “How not to cheat”
