Dating carried on in June, and I spoke to a guy for a few weeks. We seemed to have a connection online, and I went on a few dates with this guy, which were lovely. However, I wasn’t feeling a physical connection with him, so sadly, I had to stop chatting. It felt horrible doingContinue reading “June 2024 – Menopause Madness”

May 2022 – Conditional Living
May for me has been quite an emotionally tough month for many different reasons but also a month of realisations and lightbulb moments too. As I mentioned last month, I had planned to do some daily actions for 100 days leading up to my 45th birthday – when I thought of the challenge, I thoughtContinue reading “May 2022 – Conditional Living”
February 2022 – Mojo where are you…
God knows where this month has gone, I probably say that every month!! The beginning of Feb was a real struggle mentally as recently I’ve lost all motivation to exercise and it was getting to me. I’ve been into exercise for as long as I can remember, at school, I played whatever sport I couldContinue reading “February 2022 – Mojo where are you…”
January 2022 – Being Authentically Me
Here we go again, another year to achieve our dreams! Like lots of other people, I find January a little overwhelming, all the talk about what will you achieve this year, plans and activities just tires me out thinking about it! Don’t get me wrong, if this kind of planning works for you then greatContinue reading “January 2022 – Being Authentically Me”
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”
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”
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”
Cider Apple Pulled Pork

Ingredients: 1.5kg Pork shoulder joint Bottle of cider 1 Bramley apple 1 Onion Knorr concentrated chicken stock/1 stockpot/1stock cube A few sprigs of fresh thyme 1 tbsp oil (I used rapeseed butContinue reading “Cider Apple Pulled Pork”
Seeded Apple Coleslaw
Here is my recipe for homemade coleslaw, I personally don’t like ones made with all mayo, so I do 50/50 mayo and creme fraiche I find this makes it a bit lighter, I also add in apple and seeds to give some extra flavour and crunch. Ingredients: 1/2 Red cabbage 3 Carrot 1 Onion 1Continue reading “Seeded Apple Coleslaw”
Distractions
Following on from my post about balance a the end of March, things haven’t quite gone to plan!! For the last two weeks, I’ve not stepped foot in the gym, not done any form of fitness and allow circumstances & distractions to get the better of me! Life has so many ways of challenging usContinue reading “Distractions”
