30 isn’t the magic number where you will have all your sh*t sorted Equally, 30 (for me at least) has meant having much of my mental sh*t, more sorted. Old habits die hard – I love cake, cake loves my thighs. Remembering to do weekly food delivery online will feel like a big achievement. You will still spend a lot of time of your phone. Except you aren’t on social media, you’re Googling can you reheat tofu, how do you wash a jumper, when do I need to put my bins out. Hobbies, you ...
Letters to Myself: ‘Reset’ Days 4 to 7
Heyyy! Happy Monday. I mean I hope it’s a happy Monday for you?! I guess you can sit in 2 camps about a Monday. You are see them as a fresh new start and feeling raring to go or you grumble and chunter your way through it and tap yourself on the back in the evening knowing you got through it. Me? I’m a bit of both. If I’ve had a productive weekend, I usually see a Monday as a good thing. My food shop gets delivered on a Monday so that always helps and like a hamster in a wheel I want to ...
LTM: Pressing ‘Reset’ – Days 1 to 3
Hey! As I type this its day 3 of my reset and I actually feel really good already. I have managed to do 3 SP days on Slimming World. If you aren’t familiar with Slimming World or SP days you can read all about the plan here on the Slimming world website. I lost all my weight originally with Slimming World and I like it because it really doesn’t feel like a traditional diet. Without sounding corny – it really is more like a lifestyle change. In super simple terms though a Slimming World ...
Letters to myself: Just saying ‘Enough’ and pressing ‘Reset’
Goood Afternoon! How are things with you?! So much has changed since I last wrote to you. Aaron has started a new job, I am back at work and life is somewhat reluctantly returning to some kind of normality. One thing that hasn’t returned to anywhere near normal is my eating patterns. The fact I cannot stop putting disgusting amounts of food in my mouth morning, noon and night. We aren’t talking about eating 3 meals a day and a few snacks. We are talking hobbit level meals (if you know, you ...
#1 Letters to Myself…A Word on Redundancy.
Hey you, How are you? Tell me all the new things that have happened. The weird, the wonderful and all the things that are going to remind me this is real life. Right now, life feels a bit like some warped movie that I can’t seem to stop. In one word this week has been…actual shit (sorry mum, I know I shouldn’t swear). But really it has been a sack of the stuff. Aaron got called back from Furlough on Monday and by Wednesday he was made redundant. It isn’t the first time we’ve been ...
5 recipe books I love: suitable for the complete beginner!
Hey! I am a serial cook book purchaser. There i said it. I love cooking, i love eating and i especially love a new cookbook with its beautiful glossy pages and inky smell. But despite owning a ridiculous amount of books just for one household i repeatedly go for the same few. Maybe its the familiarity with them or maybe its because they've never let me down. But here are my top 5 favourite books (& resources): Jamie’s 5 ingredients. I think I’ve used this book inside out ...
