I’m really struggling at the moment and clinging on to my motivation as for the last 2 weeks I have stayed the same weight.  As in not lost lbs, as in I’m stuck, as in being really good and not receiving any rewards!!!!!
Do you get the bit where I’m frustrated!!  I have many excuses… I’ve not skipped [...]

Due to there being a high risk of Breast Cancer in my family, for my 40th birthday I received an invitation to have a breast mammogram! 
Obviously I rearranged the appointment to the week after but it brought to mind my 30th birthday.  For that birthday I got a divorce.  I would’ve preferred earrings but a [...]

WOW and OW!  In that order, my bum hurts!
