On losing weight

A few years ago I lost 65lb doing weight watchers. I was do proud of myself for the achievement and became a helper to help me stay at that weight. Now, I am no longer a helper and I am gaining weight. I am pee’d off with myself – big time.
Before February I was doing [...]

Healthy?

I’ve been feeling tired for a while now. Quite a while actually. I thought it was just a combination of starting a new job, getting used to the long commute, and the elements of stress that seem to plague my every day and now I’m not so sure.
I’ve never been good at sleeping. I can [...]

Wii Fit/ Wii Sports

I hadn’t played/used either for a while and at the weekend I did quite a bit. Baseball is always my least favourite thing, because it hurts my arm - I don’t know why! I played a few games and managed to win some of them, but my arm is really sore today (and yesterday). If you’d have said to [...]

The Duchess in Hull

OK, so I’ve never really had an opinion on Sarah, or the way she’s handled things. For the most part I think the Royal family gets far too much scrutiny and criticism from everyone – some members of the family more than others. I sat down to watch the documentary about Sarah tackling obesity with [...]

3bts – prediction, a boy and oh wait, a girl

1. Debating with a friend over a lunch date…”You won’t be here on Monday, you’ll be delivering your baby” – I said confidently. My friend insisted she would be here at 12:30 to have lunch. When she didn’t get here I smiled and wished her the best for a safe delivery.
2. A little baby boy [...]

Impulse buy

The weekend saw us in town for a bit of shopping. It resulted in one very exciting impulse buy, which subsequently had an affect on the rest of the weekend…a Nintendo Wii. It’s fantastic.  I had a recommendation for one a while ago from J at Weight Watchers and then played on one before Christmas…
We [...]

Giving in to cravings

Right or wrong?
For several days now, i’ve had a thing about carrot cake – no, not those little slices from WW… What I’m after is a big slice of gooey, sweet, sticky, yummyness. I’ve debated about this for days – as in “do I, don’t I” – because I know it won’t go away. so, [...]

3bts – timing, quick, compliment

1. Beating the time Tom Tom gave for getting home from London on a Friday night. I knocked an hour off the time given…by going a different way.
2. Catching someone’s quick wit mid-sentence and watching my boss’ realisation that it’s ok to laugh.
3. Getting a compliment from someone I haven’t seen for a [...]

As my birthday approaches

I find myself wondering about various things in life. Tomorrow I’m another year older, but am I wiser?
Did I do anything worthwhile in the past year?
Have I achieved anything on a personal or professional level?
Did anything change?
I have a tendency to over-analyse stuff like this, but I always think birthdays make me reflect on the [...]

Valentine’s Day – Oh, The Drama…

I don’t celebrate this “holiday” as our US friends call it. It’s just an excuse for retailers to cash in, yet again. There’s so much hype and gloss around the day. My boyfriend hates it…I’m sure you’ll read many people’s blogs saying the same. The question is, why do we fall into the retail trap? [...]
