Introducing more healthy habits – my half year review

September 22, 2019 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

I’m introducing 50 small healthy habits during the year which will add up to a big improvement in my health. This is how the first six months have gone.

Discovering if running is for me #OneBigFatRun

July 6, 2016 by Kate Davis 6 Comments

Running is considered an easy form of exercise you can do anywhere, anytime. But I’m not a fan, mainly because I find it boring; very boring (and hard). However, I’m about to test my dislike and discover if running could be for me. So what has changed? I met Julie Creffield at a blogging conference and she told me she was training for an ultra marathon. I said I didn’t enjoy running and she said Continue Reading …

I did a really good job of losing weight and toning up for my wedding. However in the year and a half since I’ve put on over a stone and I hate to admit it, but I now weigh more than my husband.
