• Firecrackers vs Cherry Bombers – A Rookie Roller Derby Opener
  on Nov 11, 2014 in Exercise Roller Derby
  So Saturday just gone I was headed off to Chelmsford to take part in my second ever public Roller Derby game. Unlike my first I’d been a vision of unconcerned calm all week. Maybe it was the fact that I had a few more scrims under my belt, or m...
• Healthy Convenience Foods
  on Oct 24, 2014 in Food
  Whilst the Summer might have kind of sucked fitness wise, I did get to try a load of good stuff to eat! I meant to post about this stuff individually, review it and go into detail, but, well, life got in the way. Frankly I ran out of time and space t...
• #LeaveYourLegacy Autumn Fitness Goals
  on Oct 16, 2014 in Motivation
  Todays post all started with an email back in September from sportswear brand Legacy, suggesting I get involved in their campaign for Autumn to set 4 goals to keep motivated and maintain a healthy body and mind. They’ve even sent me some of the...
• My Roller Derby Cherry Popper Bout
  on Sep 30, 2014 in Exercise Roller Derby
  Big thanks to those of you that posted calming things on my last post about preparing for my first Roller Derby Bout. Naturally none of it made any difference at all, and I spent much of last week alternating between extreme calmness and total panic.
• Preparing For My First Roller Derby Bout
  on Sep 16, 2014 in Dear Diary Exercise Roller Derby
  It’s been a bit quiet around here in July and August, apart from a few reviews and things, and for that I apologise. Back at the beginning of July I sprained my ankle at my second Roller Derby scrim, and it’s been a long and stressful roa...
• A Juicy Review
  on Sep 11, 2014 in Food Reviews
  In my quest to fit more fruit and vegetables into my diet, fruit and vegetable juices are a good standby to add as one of your five a day. I normally rely on boxed juices, and occasionally make a smoothie, but I haven’t owned a proper juicer fo...
• Review: The NuBand Fitness Tracker
  on Aug 28, 2014 in Reviews
  Back at the beginning of August when I reviewed the Misfit I said I had a third activity tracker to review, and after giving it a try for 3 weeks, it’s time to give my verdict! The Nuband is a solid one piece black band and at £49.99 it’...
• On Being Injured and Shoes for Walking
  on Aug 21, 2014 in Dear Diary
  For the last 7 weeks I’ve been a woman out of action. I took a fall at Roller Derby scrim, and bashed my head, and when my ears had stopped ringing I realised I’d hurt my ankle badly too. A visit to A&E informed me, to my relief, that...
• Fitness Tracker Review: The Misfit Shine
  on Aug 7, 2014 in Reviews
  Well, it seems that fitness trackers are like buses. You wait an entire year looking at different types, and then 3 turn up at once. No sooner had I purchased, and finally reviewed, my FitBit Flex than I was offered some other trackers to review. I a...
• Review: Fit Bit Flex
  on Jul 22, 2014 in Uncategorized
  I’d been desperate to get my hands on a wearable activity tracker for a while, I’d eyed them all up and could never afford them. I’m a total stats geek and the idea of being able to track my activity and sleep 24/7 was very exciting...
