Not a long post today as I’m all out of energy and emotions today. Been a trying few days which one day I’ll be brave enough to share. A uni day today and I got to take the students off campus for a trip to our county council’s scrutiny committee meeting which we were invited

A strange old day feeling quite emotional and teary at times! I know this is a running theme at the moment but putting it down to tiredness and stressing about things I don’t need to stress about, typical behaviour of mine over the last decade or so. No gym this morning, just cracked on with

Had a bit of a lie-in today, made the decision last night to cancel the gym as well as the swimming as felt I need to catch up on sleep and crack on with work. Slight regret on the swimming front as when I eventually opened the curtains it was a bright blue sky frosty

Woke up to a bitterly cold day with storm Arwen hitting our shores, managed to make it to intervals, and thankfully it was indoors! But typically the movement I did last night in my home workout was programmed in for the intervals sessions so within 24 hours I’ve done 350 sit-ups!! Abs are starting to

Fairly busy day today, I skipped the gym again this morning to do some work before I head to the uni campus. Turned out I only had one student in to teach so we had a one-to-one tutorial about their assignment. I know my subjects pretty well from a practitioner point of view, less clued

A much brighter day today, mentally wise! Got up, went to intervals – not been to the gym all week so was nice to sweat out some stuff!! Came home and looked at my phone – it is usually on do not disturb from 7.30pm to 7.30am as it helps me to maintain my nightly

Today has been a great day! A full on session with my 2nd year ungrad students, they are really developing as students and people and really lovely to get to know them better. The university I teach at is a small one campus uni and our cohorts are relatively small which means you get to

A great day today! A uni day where usually I don’t do any teaching on a Monday as it’s my prep day but today I did a short guest lecture for my colleague and then during the lunch break I did a talk to the menopause group about food and it’s impact on the body

A pretty lazy day today, woke up a couple of times in the night as needed a wee, and then I had forgotten to turn my alarm off on my watch and also sleeping in a different bed/place as well as being fitful from drinking alcohol. Lazy morning with coffee and croissants chatting to my
