Thank God for Pound

If you’ve read my ‘Musings’ post you will have realised that it has been a challenging couple of weeks (in fact I haven’t written about the greatest challenge of all, because at the moment, I just can’t) which have pushed me to my limits. Working two festivals in two weeks and a road traffic collision […]

Get up, get your kit on and get moving

The past week or so has been really difficult. Motivating myself to get out of bed and exercise has not been easy. I’ve slept very little due to a pressure build up in my left ear and it has left me feeling rather flat. Add to this the dental treatment – major work on my […]

The increase in calories burned has been noticeable. For months I’ve given […]

Back to POUND!
