It’s a good job I’m fairly motivated because you guys suck at this ‘keeping me accountable’ lark. One nag on twitter last week and then nothing this week. Useless, bloody useless. ;) However, I did get up and off my arse on Monday: I finally took my copy of 30 day shred out of its […]

Accountability
Continuing my ‘year of me’, June is all about accountability. I am offering myself out there for you guys to hold me accountable. I am finally getting off my arse, stepping up to the plate and saying “this is who I am and I want to change”. What the fuck am I talking about? My […]
Common Cold and Your Testicles
I know, bet you didn’t see that title coming? Seriously though, at this time of year, one of my most common search results relates to the common cold and testicles. The reason why — and the most popular result in el Goog — is a pisstake entry I posted in 2006 about someone defacing the […]
Sugar Free September: Failtastic
So, yep, I failed my Sugar Free September challenge. After surviving the weekend before last when a dicky tum meant I was struggling to stay hydrated and thought I’d have to give up, I only went and ate a jaffa cake on Saturday by accident. I see your raised eyebrow – but it was totally […]
Sugar Free September: week 1 over
After nearly messing up on day 1 when we got stuck out longer than anticipated and had to buy lunch supplies to eat on the go (when I discovered just in time that even plain roast chicken in a packet contains added sugar! Shame on you Tesco) I have now been officially sugar free for […]
Sugar Free September
So. Having delayed and delayed since the post at the beginning of the year when I promised myself I’d go one month sugar free, I’ve finally committed myself to a month of sugar free: September. My rules are as follows: No sugar (white/brown) in coffee, cake, bread, no pastries, cereals or sauces sweetened with sugar, […]
Running, Camping and Other Disasters Pt.2
Running Good news – the pelvic pain hasn’t made an appearance this week! I was a little worried I’d have to stop before I’ve even started but I think (hope) it was just a nod from the bits affected by SPD in pregnancy .. a “hello, so glad we’re being used again”!? I managed 2.5 […]
Running, Camping and Other Disasters
Running Turns out I still quite like running :D I’m not sure I’m any good at it mind you. Doc said start at 20 mins per day and work up, but I’ve only managed to crack 10 minutes in my 2 runs so far this week (#3 tonight all being well). I don’t know whether […]
And the Doctor said…
He thinks my woes are not serious. Symptoms match underactive thyroid, but also several match stress, so he wants me to have a blood test (booked Thursday) and to do some exercise in the mean time. At least a month’s worth before he sees me again. I told him I was thinking about going to […]
I am so angry
I have a doctors appointment Tuesday 13th which I will be attending armed with a list of symptoms as long as my arm. Things like persistant exhaustion but complete inability to sleep when I am actually in bed (even when Oliver’s not thrashing about) and ‘brain fog’ – hence the list. And then in the […]
