Review... In a way...

I consider my self a gym bunny. When we lived in Birmingham if I was not at work I was in the gym or cinema next door. Oh that was wonderful. Bad day at work? Gym time, angry speed running to loud music until I wasn't thinking angry thoughts.... Or gym and then a film as a reward.  It was nice. My body was in a good shape. When we had a hard week at work I think was at my thinnest and fittest... But with a big man in our life's life became more fun and I do not have time for my self. There is always something else to do. So I have tried going back to the gym. That didn't work.  I do see all these super fit mamas on intagram and I am jealous of their awesome achievements on body front and that they have time to them selves. Amazing work ladies! Actually one of them said that babies will grow and leave but your body will stay with you... got me thinking! You might want to suggest that I work out when big man is asleep. Well he was up about 3 times a night and wor...

Best end of holidays ever (or Survival of the Fittest Cardiff)

Remember last year I went to see my friend Nora to climb the wall? Well I was so inspired by these awesome people  that I have singed up myself. The event was the next day after our holidays.... Now I can say it was the best end of holidays ever, but a day before I was terrified. ... It was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also had a most amazing team of people supporting me and being my paparazzi. Once again big big thank you goes to Owen, Sarah and Mel.  But my dear hubby had to go home since he was working that day. Sad face. But I believe guys kept him updated. The race was divided into waves and I was in sensible wave 5 which started at 11am.... I did not think how high everything will be and how very short I actually am. That was until I say these stacks of hay. Oh dear me, it was hard, but I managed without a boost or anything. We climb over, jumped over and climbed under, slid on our bellies and went into the river... I fel...

After my horrible cold I started feeling like I have been putting fat on... Perhaps comfort eating has something to do with it. My love for garlic bread must die, or we should meet each other less frequently... So I have decided to pay more attention to my body, eat less bad foods, more fruit and veg and drink a bit less wine! As much as I love my fermented grape juice, or fermented apple juice (cider) and a lovely juniper infused spirit... ... Sad! My friend Sarah singed up for Race for Life this year, with my encouragement... but in the end I cannot actually participate in that one (soon to be reviled why). So yeah she never really run before, so we went for a run... Here is Sarah's page to sponsor! https://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/sarahsmith1984 It was so much fun. I truly believe that this girl can go for miles! So in last three days she probably run 10K give or take... that puts me to shame. I overdid it a bit in the gym and was...
