Slow is better than not at all
My goal of running 750 miles this year is going well, I am slightly ahead of my plan, which I’m tracking on Fetcheveryone.com. I’ve run 287 miles this year so far. I try to run 3.1 miles (5k) at a time in the week with a long run at the weekend, which gets me slightly
Butternut squash recipe from The Medicinal Chef
I am a bit of a compulsive shopper when it comes to recipe books. Actually I’m a compulsive shopper when it comes to all books. I think if I actually read all the books I’ve downloaded to read later on my Kindle it would take me around 12 years. I am not a huge fan
Two Ingredient Pancakes
I know I’ve spoken about this breakfast before and posted a link to it on my blog before, but I am sharing it again because I got the recipe from the blog Carrots N Cake, however that link no longer seems to work and I’ve searched for it on Tina’s blog and can’t find it
There is nothing like an upcoming holiday to focus your mind on health
Sometimes I think that the anticipation of a holiday is almost as good as the actual holiday. I love that excitement when you book it, the counting down of the days and, some people might find this weird, but I actually enjoy the pre holiday diet. What I mean by this is that it gives
100 days of planking
OK, so I haven’t planked solidly for 100 days – but I’m still pleased with my little achievement. At the beginning of the year I set myself a goal of doing a plank a day every day for a minimum of 30 seconds – and I’ve just reached 100 days – yay! I try to
5 ways I motivate myself when I don’t feel like training
Yesterday’s blog sparked a conversation on Facebook around motivation so I thought to myself – well there’s another blog post right there! So here are my top 5 ways I make myself train when I really don’t feel like it. Because some days I sit at my desk (in the week) or on my sofa
Real life reasons to keep fit and healthy
I had a meeting last week, our Annual Company Meeting, which was held in West London. Normally I work no more that 40 minutes away from home. So when these meetings take place I know that to get home in time so that Pete can go to work is like a mini ‘challenge Anneka’. And
Tandoori-Spiced Salmon Fillet with Sweet Potato Masala Mash – another Gurpreet Bains special
I am going to share a favourite recipe from the Gurpreet Bains’ wonderful book Indian Superfoods. I cook this at least once a fortnight. I also cooked it for friends at the weekend, and it was give a big seal of approval. I think one of the great things about it is how easy it
17% there on the 750 mile goal
It is actually sunny today! I love the sunshine, I’m pretty sure I’m solar powered. Everything just seems that little bit better when it’s bright outside and the nights are drawing out. And it is pleasant to run outside again. Hooray! I am a fair weather person at heart. While I will run in the
Packed Lunches and Leftovers
In the light of the recent horsemeat scandal, I have been feeling more sure that we are going down the right path with Primal / Paleo eating. It does take more time cooking everything from scratch, but at least I know what is in my meals. However I have seen our own food bills going
