Get back on your Bike

If you had told me this time last year, I would be back on my bike; I wouldn’t have believed you. I can now cycle more than 40km (25 miles) in one outing and have the confidence to ride on main roads. Whether you re-discovered cycling in lockdown, or it’s your new year’s resolution to get fitter, there’s no better time to get back on your bike.

Adele addresses weight loss for the first time

I have had it for years, “you look like someone famous”. If I had a £1 for every time someone said I looked like Adele on a night out, I’d be nearly as rich as her. Now she has lost an estimated 7 stone, which is my weight loss goal. She’s been pretty quiet on the subject, but Adele addresses weight loss for the first time.

The lazy person’s guide to exercise

Hi, I’m Katrina, and I’m a self-confessed lazy person when it comes to exercise! “But” I hear you cry, “we always see stories on your Instagram of you out on your bike, or off to the gym”. I have to get myself in the mindset to go, and I’ll do everything I can to avoid it. However, when I do go, I feel so much better for it. You may not totally enjoy getting sweaty or squeezing into a sports bra (this is a workout in itself!). Still, you will love the results that you see when you keep up a regular fitness routine. Here’s the lazy person’s guide to exercise.

I get it all the time, “I don’t know what you’re moaning about, I’d love to have big boobs.” Trust me, if you carried them around all day and all night, you’d understand.

Stepping Up for Dementia – I’ve Completed April

In April, I told you about the 3-month challenge I had set myself; taking 850,000 steps for the Alzheimer’s Society. Stepping Up for Dementia has been a real motivation during lockdown, getting me moving – more than ever before – and something positive to concentrate on during these unprecedented times.

Stepping Up for Dementia

I’m not one for a challenge, not a physical one anyway. Rarely you’ll see me taking part in a run, obstacle course or anything super energetic. I am not a naturally gifted person when it comes to sport, and more recently, there have been physical complications to deal with. However, I will be walking 850,000 steps in the next 3 months for Alzheimer’s Society. This is going to be a massive challenge for me, see why:

Wave goodbye to Excessmas

It is the most wonderful time of year… or, at least, it is supposed to be.  Yet, for many, Christmas can equal excess expectations and extreme expense or indulgence.  Has it all become a bit too ‘extra’ for most of us? Wave goodbye to Excessmas this year.

Fortunately, it looks to be the year that ‘excessmas’ takes a back seat.  Research reveals a backlash against the Insta-perfect of prepping, cooking, gorging and one-upmanship shopping.
