Last night my boyfriend had a hockey AGM which meant he was out all evening and I was left to my own devices. He thought I was going to the gym. I actually watched tv and ate biscuits. YAAAAS. Today, however, I regretted being a lazy little rat, and felt pretty terrible (health wise, I […]
What a glorious weekend it’s been! The sun has been shining, and my boyfriend and I have had one of the best weekends of the year, just hanging out, pottering around and staying active. Yesterday we went for a cycle around Clapham Common, which felt pretty leisurely but ended up being 6 miles long. We […]
I’m alive! Well, I went back to work today and sat alone in my office as two colleagues are off sick with the same things I have, and two are on a half day. It did mean I got to go home an hour early though, because one of the Directors felt sorry for me […]
Turns out trying to sweat out my illness on Tuesday came back to bite me in the arse.

A few months ago, I signed up fairly idiotically to run a 10km race, despite never having run that far before in my entire life. I don’t know how long the cross country course at my high school was, but probably nowhere near that far, and even then I would walk pretty much the entire […]
Recently, my boyfriend and I were out shopping when we spotted a few Jawbone UPs sitting alone on a shelf and decided to try them out. Turns out his had a faulty charging cable, so we took it straight back, but I decided to give mine a go for a while. For a long time […]
You guys, I’ve done it. I’ve discovered the ultimate post-gym meal. It goes a little somethin’ like this: [Recipe adapted from Nigella Lawson, and someone’s Turkish aunty I found online + my own tweaks] I was so dedicated to the cause when it came to nailing this recipe that I went out and bought a […]
