This is not my normal sort of post, as it pertains to fertility, infertility and IVF. It’s perhaps a topic that doesn’t get spoken about too much publicly. In heteronormative relationships IVF is often thought to mean there is an fertility issue for one or both people in the couple, and people don’t like to … Continue reading Personal Post
Today is 12 weeks since I started my mega health kick. I have been exercising well, eating really well, haven’t had an alcoholic drink in over 5 weeks and have managed to drop 7lbs; finally dropping under the weight I was before I started taking quetiapine. In fact the last time I weighed what I … Continue reading 12 weeks. 10 years.
The weekend after my last blog I managed to get some more spring cleaning done despite still feeling ill. I found that even climbing the stairs holding the laundry was exhausting so I tried to take it easy and lay off exercising too much. I managed to do an abdominal workout on Saturday but that … Continue reading Zero Waste
On Saturday 23rd I was due to visit my best friend and go to a party with her and Giles in the evening, so I did an arm-focussed circuit workout at home before I left. I chose not to drink alcohol so that we could drive home and sleep in our own bed that night … Continue reading The last week
I’ve not blogged for a while and my training feels like it’s taken a bit of a nose-dive. It’s been over 3 weeks since the 10Km race and although I have run a half marathon since then, the rest of my training has been a bit bleak. To round off January things looked like this: 28th … Continue reading So, where are we…..?
I slept heaps on Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday I felt particularly bad but on Thursday I managed to get out the house and walk to the chemist to buy some Night Nurse. On Friday I woke up feeling a lot better but didn’t feel up for exercising much so I didn’t until the afternoon … Continue reading 10Km Race PB!! 🏅
Last Wednesday I did a leg and cardio workout at home but didn’t go to yoga as planned because I had a uni assignment to finish and was so deep into studying I forgot. On Thursday I needed to run 4 miles but I had running anxiety. It is something I get a lot; a … Continue reading Long run breakthrough
I’m having such a great month! Totally nailing my fitness plans, my Uni work, my diet is great and I feel fab. I’m not even joking. Since the last blog my exercise has been as follows: 7th: 75 minute Bikram which was super hot and I loved every minute. 8th: Legs and cardio home workout … Continue reading Nailing it
On Saturday and Sunday we walked my Dad’s dogs, getting some fresh air and stretching the legs a bit. The leg aches from the home workout didn’t really subside until Sunday so that was a good 3 days of muscle soreness! At least I can try to plan next week’s exercise better so that the … Continue reading 4, 5 & 6
It’s been a lovely start to the year so far. I’ve been off work so have allowed myself to focus on exercising and relaxing in equal measure, and have done a bit of houseclearing which is always a good thing. My boyfriend Giles is keen to work out more this year so I made us … Continue reading 2 & 3
