August 2020 – Leap of Faith
August has been a month of two halves really, as some of you will have seen the first 14 days were all about me completing #75Hard then the rest of the month was all about resting and reflecting on this achievement.

Slow and steady wins the day
I’ve been a qualified nutritionist for over 12 years and a personal trainer for 18 years, this was way before social media, fitpros and influencers existed as we know them today.

So just after lockdown started I decided that IContinue reading “May 2020 – Stop and stare”
April 2020 – New way of living
Like I said last month I have been touched by the contact friends and family have made to check-in to see if I’m okay. I’ve also struggled with it too. I’m used to a fairly quiet life and found the constant noise of social media too much when there are so many ways to speakContinue reading “April 2020 – New way of living”
March 2020 – Strange Times
At the start of the month, the feeling of optimism was slowly rising within me, having asked for help a few people got in touch to offer me support. Nothing really had changed apart from my view of my situation and how I would get through it. The car situation had been sorted which wasContinue reading “March 2020 – Strange Times”
Homemade Pesto
I love making pesto at home, it is so quick and easy to do and much more flavoursome than shop-bought product. Like I’ve said before the best thing about making these ingredients at home is that you can adjust them to your tastes so they are perfect for you and your family. Ingredients: 2 xContinue reading “Homemade Pesto”
