I am proud to say that planning my weekly meals is something I’ve now been doing really consistently for at least 4 years. I can’t imagine how I ever managed to eat before I planned my meals, and the costs must have been astronomical. We would walk around the supermarket and just buy things that…
I really love having a glass of wine in the evening. I like the ritual of opening a bottle with dinner and I like to chose a nice wine glass to drink it out of. It’s like a full stop on the end of the day. It’s also part of a nice relaxing bath ritual.…
One of the things I struggled with for a long time was eating to fuel my workouts. It felt like all the advice on healthy eating was aimed at weight loss for inactive people, and it was really hard to find advice on reaching or maintaining healthy body weight and composition if you were active.…

THIS POST IS PRODUCED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ORGANIC TRADE BOARD [separator type=”space”] When I was a student I would eat pretty much anything. A particular favourite meal was mayonnaise and sweetcorn sandwiches. I remember them being absolutely amazing at the time, but probably not something I plan to revisit now. As I’ve got older…
YAY! IT’S DECEMBER! That means it’s time to crack open the mulled wine, bring out the glitter, and secretly battle with your inner slob to keep up your workouts over the Christmas season. I’m planning a little post that might help you with that in the next week (Though things are so darn busy I…
