27th August saw the first ever Simply Health Aberdeen Half Marathon and I completed it! On the morning of the race I was incredibly nervous, my training hadn’t exactly gone to plan; there were runs that ended in me having to phone for a lift home as I was just too tired to carry on.… Continue reading Aberdeen Half Marathon
Hello there! Today I thought I’d document down my current weight training split before I start half marathon training. Partly for my own benefit so I can get back to it after the run and partly for anyone who might might be interested. Obviously, a couple of caveats…..this is my plan, I’ve been training for… Continue reading Current Training Split – Before the Half
I’m relatively new to volume training but thought I’d look into it as I was getting pretty bored with my weight lifting routines, now I try to incorporate it for upper and lower body at least once per fortnight. It’s great if want a change or if you’re in a busy gym and can’t get… Continue reading Volume Training
Shopping for sports bras can be pretty difficult; working out whether or not a bra will provide enough support, be comfortable, look ok under sport clothes and be able to withstand lots of washing can be a mine field. I’ve tried lots and lots of different types of sports bras and always find myself coming… Continue reading M&S Sports Bras
6 months -how time flies! A check up at 6 months is optional but as I still had one little issue I thought I’d better go see the surgeon. Everything has healed exceptionally well, the scarring is no where near as bad as I had expected, enough dropping has happened that you can’t see the… Continue reading The Booby Diaries – 6 month update

October 2016 I went ahead and got a very much longed for boob job, it’s been one of the best decisions of my life and having read lots of other peoples stories about their experiences I thought I’d share my own here. In October 2016 I went ahead and got a very much longed for… Continue reading The Booby Diaries – Part 1
Hello there, long time, no posts…..again! Well, this time there’s been good reason, I had surgery. This year was the big 30 for me and I decided I’d FINALLY get the surgery I’ve been wanting for around 10 years, mastopexy and augmentation (boob job and a lift), so I’ve been out of gym action for quite… Continue reading 3 Day Doms
Recently I decided to employ the services of Leanne Forker, an Edinburgh based PT to kick my bum in to shape, and kick it she certainly did! She took one of the Grit Cardio classes at the gym local to me, her crazy enthusiasm and her being in prep for a bodybuilding competition motivated me… Continue reading Hiring a PT!
Hello there! Today we’re talking noodles, nope not the pasta kind, the butternut kind. I love butternut squash, so versatile for using in curries, bulking out pasta sauces or having as wedges instead of chips, i do not however like prepping it, i’m waaaay too lazy for that! Lots of places do butternut cubes to… Continue reading Ooodles of noodles or boodles
