Tuesday Truth:
One month till Christmas, which means mince pies are legally allowed at breakfast.
Healthy fact: the raisins count as fibre… which is good, because the rest of it is pure seasonal chaos 😂🎄

Pea and Ham Soup: The Comfort Food With a… Musical Side 🎶😂

Today’s kitchen creation — good old-fashioned pea and ham soup! Packed with fibre, protein, and plenty of warmth for a chilly evening.

Now, let’s be honest… there’s a small chance I’ll be slightly more “musical” tomorrow. Peas contain natural sugars called oligosaccharides — they’re brilliant for your gut but sometimes like to announce their presence the next day!

Still, I’ll take a bit of extra wind over an empty belly any day. 😉 The flavour’s worth it — rich, smoky, and perfect with a chunk of crusty bread.

Remember: no excuses, just good food, good humour, and a good laugh at life’s little side effects ###

Transformation Tuesday

There comes a point where you stop chasing fixes and start doing the real work — on your mind, your body, and your boundaries. I’ve learned that mental health and fitness go hand in hand; you can’t build strength in one and neglect the other.

I’ve faced my emotions, rebuilt my routines, and stopped leaning on people or places that kept me stuck. That feeling when you finally stand on your own two feet — that’s freedom.

Here’s to lifting our spirits as much as our weights, sweating out the stress, and choosing peace over chaos. Transformation isn’t a one-time thing… it’s a mindset. ###

🍫 Healthy Chocolate Fixes – No Excuses Style!

Let’s be honest, we all love a bit of chocolate, and there’s no reason we can’t enjoy it and still stay on track! Here are some of my favourite ways to keep those choccie cravings happy and healthy:

1️⃣ Dark chocolate and fruit – a few squares of 70%+ cocoa with strawberries or banana. Sweet, rich, and full of antioxidants.
2️⃣ Cocoa protein porridge – oats, chocolate protein powder, splash of milk, proper comfort in a bowl.
3️⃣ Greek yoghurt mousse – plain Greek yoghurt, teaspoon of cocoa, drizzle of honey. Creamy, low-sugar, and lush.
4️⃣ Nut butter dip – a spoon of peanut or almond butter with a square of dark choc. Heaven.
5️⃣ Homemade hot choc – unsweetened cocoa, warm milk, and a touch of honey or cinnamon. Perfect little treat without the guilt.

Remember, it’s about balance, not cutting everything out. Chocolate’s allowed, love — just make it smart and satisfying 😄💪🍫

Hi guys, i'm still well and truly here. I've had 2 ear infections in the past 3 months, and one of which messed up my taste buds, so I couldnt eat proplerly for at least 2 months, nor did I want too really. I lost over a stone in weight, and friends and family were worried saying I was too skinny. On top of this, I still loved working out though which could have helped build more muscle though contributed to more fat burning, though I am of the firm belief that we all have to train and keep fit. I am getting back up to my regular weight. Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

Food diary today. 8 AM breakfast of a cuppa coffee with a banana. 8-30, natural yog with deadly proons lol.

10 aM. cuppa tea.

12 PM. prawn salad butty on brown bread with several chocolate orange crisps and cuppa coffee.

4 PM, glass of water,

6 PM, bottle of water.
Happy training all, and stay well ###!
