Well good afternoon to you my lovely audience. I hope you're all well and coping OK on your bikes in this vile weather. It's been pretty horrific so far this year and I think we're all feeling that right now. So here's a cheery post covering a great day out I had this bank holiday weekend, to watch my long-time best friend Rachel achieve a brilliant goal. The reason I'm writing about this event is because I feel it's not just important for me to cover my weight loss I don't know who the other people are.. ..they haven't signed model release forms!  progress, or fitness goals, it's also important to cover both other disciplines and also other people's struggles and achievements. In this case, where I used to struggle with binge eating and weight control, my best friend Rachel has suffered with anorexia for a very large majority of her adolescent and adult life. I thought this a good opportunity to write about how well she has also been doi...

On the theme of weight loss and diet management, today's post is a simple one. I was going to update you all on how my racing is going but I'm in a bit of a grump over that at the moment so really don't feel like chatting about it. Not that it's going all that badly but I'm struggling a little with confidence and I'd much rather exude excitement and inspiration to you all than dangle a big grey cloud of self deprecation over you! Some people have asked what I consume daily to lose the weight I have - well handily now my coach and I are tracking calories though myfitnesspal, as it's getting very hard to inch down to that final goal of 60kg. Strikingly I have found a lot of people have negatively questioned my weight loss, whether or not this comes down to pure disbelief or even jealousy I do not know but I would like to ensure you that I have and always will be the proud owner of an incredibly healthy appetite. So as a special treat for anyone that'...

Late post, again. Useless aren't I? Well this time I've been mulling it over, carefully and meticulously. Why? Because this post is about something that I find quite difficult to talk about. Yes, I the banterful extrovert have skeletons in my closet - but this skeleton is slightly bigger boned than most. I've finally summoned the courage to share with all of you my weight loss journey. While I've spoken to friends and shared Facebook statuses about this, I've not particularly covered my feelings behind all of it, nor have I really shared what it's been like for me as a person - not as an ever shrinking object. I don't like looking at old pictures of myself, or new ones, at the best of times. Digging this collateral up for this post is personally horrific. However, it's absolutely fantastic to be told I've inspired others to get healthy and shift some pounds, but this has come at great mental cost and physical endurance. I want you to know that cha...
