Happiness is a bag full of cheese.
It is also the weekend I just had. Turning 28 was painful, although not in the way I’d expected – more on that in a sec – but it was brilliant. I spent Friday night here: In the Edinburgh Residence’s...

Oops!
I may have accidentally slept through today’s weigh-in. I did honestly have every intention of going in, as it was the last one of our six-week Scottish Slimmers course. But I went to Edinburgh last...

Thought for the day.
I’ve a couple of longer posts in progress, but in the name of updating this more regularly – and having outdone myself in the disgrace stakes at the weekend – here’s a little something from me to you:...

How the bloody hell is it March?
Good Lawd, where is the year going?! As we’re now a whole two months into 2013, I thought I’d do an update on the resolutions I made, 59 days ago (check me, countin’ ‘n’ that). This may be my shortest...

Step aside, Nigella.
I haven’t cooked a meal so far this year. I mean, I’ve whacked stuff in the oven (or more likely, the microwave. Or more likely STILL, the toaster), but from scratch, chopping ingredients and things –...

If you do one thing today…
… Please support Real Radio Scotland’s Bring A Pound To Work Day, in aid of the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland. The work CHAS do is just incredible. They provide the only hospice services in...

This exercise lark.
This week, I launched a bold and daring experiment. Never attempted before – at least, not by me. I suppose others might have tried it. Exercising. Every day. Would it help my weight loss? The plan...

My mum is cooler than yours.*
We don’t ‘do’ mother’s day, as such. I mean, when we were little, my sister and I would make cards, sometimes breakfast in bed, sometimes a cake (that was swiftly discouraged, until I was actually...

Motivation…where art thou?
After last week’s “what time to weigh?” debacle, I decided the best time is first thing in the morning. Because that’s when all my ‘slimming friends’ do it. First thing in the morning, for me, is...

The L-word.
No, not ‘love’. Eww. LABELS. So, you meet a guy. You get on really well. You laugh, a lot. You take the piss out of each other, the appropriate amount. You have really good sex (sorry, Mum). You speak...

Slowly, slowly…
Jesus, this weight loss thing takes AGES. The one other time I’ve successfully lost a significant amount, I was 20 and lost a stone and a half in the eight weeks we had off uni for summer. Was it eight...

Hello, world!
Okay, geeky confession time. I am obsessed with checking my blog’s stats. The day I hit 1,000 views, I was ecstatic. The day I hit 5,000, I was over the flipping moon. I know loads of blogs get...

Happy Easter!
So Friday would normally be a weigh-in/’progress’ post. Today’s isn’t. Mainly because I haven’t made any progress – this morning’s 5am weigh-in showed, through bleary eyes, that I’ve stayed the same....

HOTD.
So, a lot of fashion bloggers post OOTD – outfit of the day. And a lot of beauty bloggers post FOTD – face of the day; or NOTD – nails of the day. I’m pioneering a new concept: HOTD. Hair of the dog....

My week in Instagram.
So, it’s been Easter. And Easter means two things (to me – I am aware it has far more significant connotations to others). It means chocolate, and visiting family – which is where the Old Skool pics...

Girls rule, boys drool.
Getting ready to go out last night – wrapped in a fluffy towel, glass of red in hand, party playlist blaring and a veritable sea of make-up and hair products surrounding me – I realised something....

The wagon is a dot to me.
Yep, I’ll hold my hands up. I’ll admit it. I have fallen off the wagon. Quite spectacularly. It all started last Thursday, when I decided to skip that afternoon’s planned exercise (swimming), as I’d...

Today’s Hair Of The Dog. A bold move, as it was the last thing I drank last night, but surprisingly effective. 8/10.

Not blogging about that thing I was told not to blog about.
If someone says to you, mid-conversation, “PLEASE don’t blog about this”, does that mean you have some sort of problem? That’s a rhetorical question. Don’t all tell me I have a problem. I know I do....

FAB1 Million.
I meant to write this on Friday, but I’ve had a bit of a mental weekend. Not good mental, sadly, moving back into my parents’ house mental. More on that later. Anyway, Thursday night. There’s not much...
