5 things I’ve learnt on my fitness journey

In the last few months, I’ve seen some friends who I hadn’t seen in a while. A lot of them have been asking me what I’ve been doing to get into the shape I’m in now and how I manage to keep going with everything I have going on. I’ve also been going through some old pictures and videos since…

My 3 Go To Breakfast Options

My 3 Go To Breakfast Options

I love food. I love eating it and I love making food for others. Breakfast is probably my favourite meal because there is just so much choice.

New to the gym?

So, you’ve decided to join the gym. You have told yourself that you are going to be committed to going a few times a week to get fitter and stronger. Awesome!

Why are the numbers on the scales not changing?

Why are the numbers on the scales not changing?

I happen to have 2 scales at home. One just reads your weight, the other, weight, BMI and body fat. One day, I decided to weigh myself on both scales and noticed that they gave me different results.

5 ways to burn calories when you’re a parent

My daughter, Elsie, LOVES nursery rhymes! She wakes up asking to watch them, and we sing them before she goes to bed. Her favourite ones are those that include actions or dancing, which I found really cute…until we had done “heads, shoulders, knees and toes” 15 times in the space of 10 minutes. For us mums, finding time to exercise…

My easy and delicious granola recipe

My easy and delicious granola recipe

Granola is one of my favourite things to have for breakfast or a snack. But, 1. It’s way too expensive for what it is and 2. Shop bought versions always have too much sugar. Oh, and there’s also the fact that you have to find the brand that has just the right ingredients that you actually like! I like nutty…
