Baby, We're Running Out Of Time

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I had Covid. My first gym session was tough to be honest. I thought I’d ease my way back into it, but even when basic tasks leave me breathless I knew it would be a struggle. Thursday – Treadmill – I started with a 5 minute slow walk. Treadmill – 3.0 for 90seconds, 7.0 for 60 seconds. I downloaded couch to 5k because I thought it wouldn’t be that hard. I was…

People are starting to notice changes in my body. It’s kind of strange because I can’t see them in myself. In the last week I’ve had 3 different people comment on my body and how well I’m looking. This gives me motivation to keep on going. Some days are so much harder than others but that’s why I wanted to keep this log. Monday – today was my first opening shift at work. I was there 7:30-6pm. It…

So here’s the thing. This week was mine and Amys 2nd anniversary. We both had a week off which did mean eating wasn’t amazing. We went to Newcastle on Tuesday – Thursday and then we had Sausage and Cider fest on the Saturday. So this weeks workouts were minimal! Wednesday Although I didn’t do any actual workout. I managed to do a total of 12,574 steps which to me is an ‘active rest day’. I…

I seen this on Instagram and I fell in love with the idea of the story. It follows Avery Grambs, a school girl who just wants a better future. She has a quick change of fate when a millionaire left her his fortune. This was such a fun read it had me continuously guessing about the ending and it kept me on my toes. Something new happening every other chapter. It was a complete whirlwind of a…

So overall this week wasn’t great. I only had 3 days off and only went on Tuesday. On Monday I was hungover (these posts are weeks behind but this was the Monday after the England v Italy game). On Tuesday my mam actually asked to go with me. It was quite an experience. Me and her haven’t always been close to each other but we work together which has helped and knowing she wanted to come with me…

The start of this book give me Gypsey Rose Blanchard vibes. Though I’m not sure it felt like this was a spin off, of that. I loved the story how the mother (patty) who abused the child, went back to live with her. After years of abuse, you’re wondering how Rose would react. The story pretty much flat lined from this point. Patty almost thought she had Rose wrapped around her finger, but in fact…

When someone publicly posted Felix’s dead name alongside pictures of him before he transitions – felix makes it his mission to find out who. Felix came up with a full plan for revenge and ended up in a quasi – love triangle. I read this so quickly and devoured the pages. I loved the three main characters: Felix, Ezra & Declan. I really enjoyed seeing their character growth. Some of this was…
