I believe in the power of positive thinking, proactive language and having purpose and intention. I think that you create your reality through your thoughts, so if you are in a negative mood, it is more likely that negative things will happen- and the same is true for positivity. The [...]

It was a wet Wednesday morning. My daughter had woken up in a mood which got worse when she saw that both her school trousers were in the wash and she didn’t want to wear a skirt. She’d worn one pair on Monday and one on Tuesday – this was [...]

Slim for Spring!

By On March 25, 2013 · 2 Comments

The best thing about shifting a lot of weight is all the shopping that you get to do!

Running on Full!

By On March 16, 2013 · Leave a Comment

According to runner’s forums, you should change your running shoes every 500 miles! I didn’t realise it was this low- I thought it was a couple of thousand miles to be honest, so my old trainers are well past their ‘use by’ date! I’ve done a handful of Race For [...]
