If the horse is dead...
Posted on 11:58am Thursday 24th March 2011
Lately, I have been feeling uninspired. Slimming World has proved not to be the wonder cure that they proclaim (surprise surprise…) but rather a restrictive diet that seems to go against its ethos of ‘no measuring, no counting, eat as much as you want’.

Balls to fashion
Posted on 12:52pm Tuesday 1st March 2011
As if by a cruel hand of fate, the minute I uploaded my last blog post, I got ill. Again. Bed ridden with the most disgusting chest infection, going to the gym was not high my list of priorities.

If only I had an iPhone...
Posted on 11:12am Wednesday 26th January 2011
For the last few months of 2010 I ended up sounding like a stuck record. ‘If only I had an iPhone this, my life would be so much better with an iPhone that’, to the point I could foresee a close friend grabbing the nearest iPhone, shoving it in my mouth while frantically screeching, “is your life better now? Is it? Is it?”

New Year, new me? My weight loss resolution
Posted on 10:02pm Tuesday 18th January 2011
It’s that time of year when everyone buzzes with excitement about their New Year’s resolutions. Do this, do that, go here, save money, live organically, detox. Yet 31 days on, February is welcomed with open arms as adamant resolution makers eagerly flock back to the pub to forget all about their far-fetched detox ideas. “I mean, it’s not even scientifically proven to work…”
