Last week I managed to complete all 4 days of my workout. As tiring as it is its amazing to feel myself getting stronger, fitter and more flexible! My biggest issue at the moment is not overdoing it, as this is my downfall, leaving tired and in pain. There are so many things i wish…
False Expectations
As I was in the kitchen this week, my sons friend came in and asked me about the chart that was stuck on my fridge door. As I glanced over I saw he was asking about the kids’ 5-a-day chart. I put it on my fridge probably 2 years ago, with the greatest intention of…
More tests!
I’m currently sat at my GP surgery midway through having a breath test. This test is to determine whether I have bacteria in my stomach which could be causing my problems with eating. From the research I’ve done I don’t think I have any bacteria, as i believe the problems I’m having stem from the…
Missing food!
This week I completed week 2 of DDP Phase 3. I decided to skip phase 2 and move straight onto the hard stuff! After rereading through the programme guide I realised Arthur (the inspirational guy in the youtube video) actually did phase 3… the guide also describes phase 3 for ‘people who are in need…
Feeling grateful
About 10 days ago my family came down with the worst flu ever! It was absolutely awful and left us all stuck in bed. Scrolling through my phone one day I came across some old pictures… These pics are of me in my wheelchair last year. The first picture was my first outting since not…
A busy week!
This last week has been so busy! I had an amazing opportunity to go to the House of Lords with the Princes Trust for a special champagne dinner. The aim of the event was to encourage old and new sponsors to donate to the Princes Trust. I got to meet alot interesting and successful people…
DDP Yoga Phase 1 results
Today is my final day of DDP yoga phase 1! Phase 1 (infact all phases) last 12 weeks, so technically as I started in December, I should have finished in February. But because of set backs, injuries and lots of starting and stopping I’m only just finishing now. The biggest lesson I’ve learnt is not…
Creamy Avocado Dip Recipe
Today I had my first meal after my 28 day juice fast. I kept it simple and had salad with sweet potato falafels. Yum! And better still not too much stomach pain…. definitely less than before I started the juice fast. Over the coming days I’m going to be keeping my meals pretty simple to…
A week of progress
This week has definitely been one of progress. I finally had an X ray on my neck and I’ve been referred to the orthopaedic department in the hopes of finally getting some answers as to what is actually wrong with my back I’m on day 26 of the Jason Vale 28 day juice fast. After…
It’s tough!
It’s been about a month since I last blogged. I was pretty much fed up and didn’t have anything good to write about. But that’s life I spose. As much as it’s good to be positive, sometimes its hard. After years of pain it all started to feel to much. Any motivation I had to…
Raw till 4?
Sigh…. that’s what I feel like I’ve been doing the most of this last week amd a half. Half way through week 8 of DDP yoga I had a busy few days at work meaning I was on my feet ALOT. This resulted in horrible back pain (when will I ever learn!) which rendered me…
