Last month I tried writing a round up for the first time, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. It worked, I liked writing it, and I think it fits nicely with my Trying New Things posts, so I’m doing it again this month. Without any further ado, here’s my April round up: Financial… Continue reading April round up
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: Visiting Arran This Easter we visited the Isle… Continue reading New things I tried in April
I’m not a great cyclist. I basically didn’t do it at all between the ages of 12 and 25, at which point P decided that this would not stand and during a trip to Aviemore, hand my cycling up and down the garden, on the grass, to remind me how it was done. They might… Continue reading Cycling along the Union Canal to The Bridge 49 Cafe
I always have mixed feelings about New Year’s resolutions. Like, why do I have to wait until 1st January to start improving myself and my life? Shouldn’t I be doing that anyway? Also, if everyone apparently knows that we’ll all have given up by midway through March, is there any point? So, instead, I’m jumping… Continue reading 2017 Goals
One of my new Year’s resolutions for 2016 was to try as many new things as I could. Most months I succeeded and managed to share a post about the new things I’d been trying. Some months I failed but, then, it has been kind of a busy year. I think this is a really… Continue reading Favourite new things I tried in 2016
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
It’s very nearly the end of the month already. Is it me, or does June seem like it went by blindingly quickly? I mean, I know we’ve got a couple of days left, but still. Anyway, as is always the case at the end of the month, I’d like to share with you 5 new… Continue reading Five new things I tried in June
