Eat, sleep, work, repeat.

Dinner - feta, beetroot and walnut salad with balsamic dressing

Have you ever written down everything you've eaten in a day, or even a whole week?  I mean everything, every Haribo ring and every stolen crisp; that cheeky chocolate bar and that one little crumpet. A dietician friend of mine said that taking a note of very thing you consume is one of the most successful tool for managing food intake and subsequently, managing weight.

Peppermint Rescue

"It's been two weeks now and all we've managed to do is make Regina's face smell like a foot."

According to my boyfriend my feet are disgusting. Personally I don't think it's my feet that are disgusting but all feet that are disgusting. But it's safe to say that years of cramming my tutsies into six inch heels and slipping on the trainers for 10K runs hasn't exactly helped them look as dainty as Cinderella's.

Alt-J ~ This Is All Yours

 
 
Alt-J have been streaming their new album, This Is All Yours, on Spotify this week ahead of it's official release next week. I've had it on repeat, well worth a listen.

Sunday Lunch

I found this picture on Pintrest

Forgive me, I know it's Tuesday. I've been on the hunt for the best Sunday lunch but keep stumbling over the same watery gravy, shop bought Yorkshire pub, over cooked beef monstrosities leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Packing up for universtiy


        What I thought I looked like heading off for university.


 
It's nine years this September since I packed up my belongings and took the two hour drive over the Pennines to Manchester to start my first year of university, nervous excitement fluttering in my belly.

Life Changing

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance.”
 
The turn of September always marks a time of change for me.  It probably hankers back to days when the turn of the month would mean new shoes, a shiny pencil case and different class at school. But despite those days being long gone I still get the same anxious excitement and nostalgic longing at this time of year.
