I tend to get stuck in a bit of a rut with my meals, and can often be really lazy come dinner-time, opting for scrambled eggs or something similar, because of the mistaken assumption that cooking healthily is time consuming and complicated. However, when I got to try a Gousto recipe box last week, it reminded … More Trying a Gousto Recipe Box

At last week’s John Lewis #mywellbeing event I joined a fab bunch of bloggers to get creative in the kitchen and whip up our very own smoothies, using their selection of brilliant blenders. My “Red Ambulance” (banana, berries, coconut milk…) concoction tasted pretty good if I do say so myself! When I was doing the … More Pilates and Smoothies with John Lewis (and Hunkemoller)
I haven’t got back into the swing of food prep since Christmas and have been struggling to get organised with my work lunches.

I also struggled with a three-day headache which affected me … More Week 4 Check-In: MyPT Transformation RESULTS

Like last week, I managed three workouts – a kettlebells class, and two circuit sessions – plus a 12 mile bike ride with … More Week 2 Check-In: MyPT Studio Transformation
Week 1 done! I survived the first seven days of the MyPT Studio Transformation Programme with some interesting highs and lows. The main goals are 3-4 workouts per week, drinking 3L water, and sticking to a lower calorie nutrition plan – for me this has meant smoothies for breakfast, salads or leftovers for lunch, and … More Week 1 Check-In: MyPT Studio Transformation
I love food. It’s one of the most important things in my day and it fascinates me how food can be vital fuel for powering your workout, a social tool and a source of pleasure. Preferably all three!
