Disclaimer: It bothers me that I’m posting a review of this kind of book in January, when I know that the diet industry is at it’s most insidious and disgusting. Please don’t see this as a support of that. One of the good things about this book is that it attacks that very industry and… Continue reading Book review: Fat is a Feminist Issue
As usual, this month I’ve been going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. This month I’ve tried: 1. Graduating! Ok, technically I’ve graduated before, but… Continue reading New things I tried in June
A while ago I signed up for Bike&Go, a scheme which allows you to rent bikes outside train stations. On my first trip, we cycled the short distance to The Milk Barn, a local dairy where you can buy homemade ice cream. On my second trip, we’d planned to go to Linlithgow, a town about… Continue reading I made it to Linlithgow!
I love a beach holiday. I’m quite happy sitting on the beach with a book and a cocktail and doing not very much of anything. This kind of holiday is about rest and relaxation, it doesn’t demand anything of you. Even so, a week of doing nothing can get old quick, and when you’re somewhere… Continue reading A week in Croatia – part 3: doing the tourist thing
I mentioned in my Sorry While I Go Quiet For A Bit post earlier in September that I wanted to post about “… crying because I felt fat even though I’m objectively not and about body positivity.” Well, here goes nothing. Let’s start by putting it into a little context, shall we? This emotional outburst was… Continue reading A need for body positivity
It’s that time of month again! At the end of each month I discuss new things I’ve been trying in the past ~30 days, usually aiming for five items. This is part of what was one of my New Year’s Resolutions this year: Try new things. That said, I think I’ll probably just keep it… Continue reading New things I tried in July
You know how everyone always says you never forget how to ride a bike? Well, they’re wrong. When I was 10 years old I could ride a bike but by the time I was 20 I couldn’t. Granted, I didn’t pick up a bike once in those ten years but to be honest, even as… Continue reading Cycling
Andy Graydon is a fitness instructor and personal trainer in Glasgow. I first started going to Andy when I heard about his Ladies who Lift classes – he was offering small, friendly group sessions which were even suitable for absolute beginners. Although I was a little intimidated by weight training I went along and very… Continue reading New Gym Launch Party for AG Fitness Training
I’ve been putting off getting my cardio fitness sorted out for too long. I have several problems that encourage me to do this: I hate cardio I am lazy My ankle hurts Yeah, I’m going on about my joints again, but I am trying to fix them*, so as long as I’m taking some positive action… Continue reading Time to run
In 2011 Glasgow was battered by high winds. Now, Glasgow can handle a little weather, it is in Scotland after all, so trust me when I say that these winds meant serious business. Everyone called it Hurricane Bawbag (don’t go much beyond Wikipedia for that one). The flat I would move into a year later… Continue reading North Woodside Pool
