Day Two

Still recovering from Friday so didn’t I do much today although I plan on getting back into training tomorrow.
Food today was good but not as delicious as yesterday which makes me think they did all the good stuff first on purpose. Favourite was lunch “A very sweet potato coronation” and dinner wasn’t too bad either with a mushroom and spinach stroganoff although I hate cooking rice as it takes a bloody age before it only just considers to start cooking!

Bought snacks: carrots, cucumber, celery and rice cakes – fun!

I’m back to work tomorrow, commuting and the like so fingers crossed the meals can provide me with enough energy for the day!

Day One

I’ve actually only had one of my detox meals today as I’ve been suffering with alcohol poisoning.
It would appear I took the last day of freedom before the detox a little too seriously although my body was very good at cracking on with the detox by itself when I woke up this morning and then for a few hours after that – that’s a hardcore hangover right there.

I had Bangkok salmon and noodle salad and whilst it took me an hour to eat in fear of adding to the dish it tasted absolutely delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed it and that’s got to say something seeing as I’ve practically burned my taste buds off. Nice.
Forgot about taking a photo but it looked just as it tasted.

If the rest of the detox is going to be as yummy as my first dish then I have no need to worry at all!

Pre detox – It’s happening!

So… I’ve been wanting to detox for nearly a year now and with winter here bringing along all it’s cold and demotivation, I feel now (as I now actually have the money) is a good time to just go for it.

I’m training for 2012′s Brighton marathon and struggling to find the right food to eat to keep me going both mentally and physically – it’s one of the hardest things about the training. I’m also a pescetarian which is a fake vegetarian as I eat fish, so adding a lot more fish into my diet is helping but I continue to drink and eat a lot of crap which cancels all the good stuff out.

Why not start from scratch? Two week detox to educate me on what my body wants and what fuels it the best. Will it motivate me more? How will make me feel?

I could do with having less “winter insulation” too so it would nice to kill two birds with one pig!

Wish me luck!

Aw, it’s as if we were made for each other…

Me and Myke


Myke and I were invited to a wedding last Saturday in Canterbury, Kent. The sun was out and the temperature rose to a pleasant 22C and was just overall a beautifully superb day.
It’s the first wedding we’ve been to in over 2 years of being together and we had so much fun – can someone else get married and invite us please?

The Bro Show to have a sister?

So I was kindly invited on – or more likely, invaded – my other half’s podcast the other week. It’s called The Bro Show and was great fun.

They gabble a lot about tech related news and apple fanboy shizz which in all honestly I don’t know a thing about but I’m really proud of how well the show is doing and was honoured to be allowed to don the headphones and even able to sit near the mic.

Check out the two words I say in the entire hour’s podcast and enjoy!

Tale as old as time

I adore Beauty and the Beast. It’s my favourite Walt Disney film and always makes me happy after watching it.
It also takes me back to when my mum and dad surprised me by taking me to see the production at the Dominion Theatre.
It’s just a beautiful story…

Apparently he’s the one. Cool beans.

According to handbag.com there are ten ways to know if “he’s the one”

He makes you laugh until you cry
He’s had a couple of crackers but in all honesty, it’s hard to make me laugh until I cry. When it comes to just laughing in general, he gets me a lot. I like the joking that no one else understands.

You want the same things out of life
Not at the beginning. He wanted a family with a wedding and kids and everything. I wanted a selfish life and didn’t see the point in marriage. Divorce is just such a bastard.
We have come to a comfortable compromise. There will be a wedding but the only little feet we’ll hear running towards us will be from a puppy or a cat… Though I will be more than happy to steal nieces and nephews away for a day or two :)
But right now? Yes, I would say we’re both skipping merrily down the same path.

He likes you best with no makeup on
I’d like to believe him when he says he does, I don’t really know why he would lie as I’ver never put him on the spot and asked him how he preferred me. It’s truly a love to behold when he likes you best au natural.

You love him because of his flaws
Yes, I actually do. He wouldn’t be him without all the little bits, good and bad that make up his character. For example, he worries too much – far too much – but this is because he loves me and wants me to be safe and happy and as much as it can be an annoyance, I can’t bring myself to fault him on this… it’s annoyingly endearing.

He supports you in everything you do
Bloody hell, does he! My mum and him are the greatest supporters anyone could ever wish for. Especially with the crazy two years I’ve had. Freelancing for TV, employed, unemployed, unemployed, employed, unemployed, broke, skint, crap, depressed, working for dad, money, getting things together, VEGAS, things falling apart, lost, questioning, didnt want to work for dad anymore, sad… yay, got the job with Casting Collective, complete.
It’s been a ruddy rollercoaster and they have both aided me and supported me throughout the whole thing! Awesomely amazing people!

You trust him implicitly
I don’t think anyone can trust someone completely. Whoever says they trust someone with a certain 100% is lying and I definitely do not trust them! I’d allow a 99.5% but that’s it. It’s like saying someone is perfect, no one is perfect. My boyfriend isn’t perfect, we’re not perfect together, we’re just very compatible and work extremely well together. So, to actually answer the point, I trust him as much as I possibly can… horrid people are an environmental factor.

Even your dad/best friend/dog likes him
Yeah, I’m onto a winner here. Everyone loves him nearly as much as I do. He’s even going on a lads holiday this year with MY best boy mates.

You wake up and feel lucky each morning
If he’s right there exhaling his morning breath in my face then yes, I actually do. But I’m more likely to wake up feeling tired and grumpy than lucky. Although I really should as life is pretty sweet right now!

You stop noticing the cute guy at the coffee shop
This didn’t take long to happen really. Right now, I know who the attractive guys are and I like getting attention but he is my man and I just know that I wouldn’t have a better life with anyone else. I am so lucky to have him and looking at other guys is pointless because they just can’t compare… Alright, gay!

You just know
It’s one of those annoying sayings but it’s true. I had the knowing at a month of knowing him. We just clicked and we know we’re in it for the long haul. Also, makes it easier to marry him knowing this :)
