Today has been a bit of a low day, I woke up not feeling great mentally! No reason for that I don’t think but I guess we just have some down days. Sophiecat woke me up about 6am for food so I fed her and went back to bed but couldn’t really sleep so gotContinue reading “Sunday 20th February 2022”

July 2021 – Running on Empty
July is a bit of a strange month for me, it’s my birthday month which I often find challenging. I feel like I’m running on empty, completely devoid of energy, exhausted and lost all my mojo for life, not in a depressed way so to speak but just no motivation to do things I usuallyContinue reading “July 2021 – Running on Empty”
November 2020 – The Little Things
And there it is, month eleven of 2020 is done and dusted and what a rollercoaster of a month it’s been, pretty much the same as every other month of 2020!

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. The principles and values I stand by today around food, fitness and health are the same as the ones I had even before IContinue reading “Slow and steady wins the day”
June 2020 – Raving Fan
Following on from May’s post this month I’ve put a lot of focus on myself and self-love.

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”
February 2020 – Rock Bottom
This month has been truly rubbish!! At times I’ve felt completely hopeless and helpless. In fact, I felt like I’d hit rock bottom, this caused lots of tears, many sleepless nights and feeling like a complete failure. Getting a job I’ve found is actually not that easy, applications I’ve submitted for jobs where I thoughtContinue reading “February 2020 – Rock Bottom”
December – Adjusting, reflecting and looking forward
Firstly, just wanted to say thank you to all the people who contacted me after last month’s post was published to offer me support, share their own stories and much more. The job hunt begins which is quite a scary prospects for many reasons, I’ve not applied for a job for over 13 years soContinue reading “December – Adjusting, reflecting and looking forward”
November – Tough Decision
So this month as with every other month this year it would seem that it whizzed by and before I knew it, it was December.
