Eric Church and The Cadillac Three at The Ritz, Manchester
For Christmas, Cameron bought me tickets to see Eric Church at the Ritz in Manchester. Since it had been a while since we went away anywhere, we decided to get a hotel in the centre of Manchester and have the weekend away. Living in England, there’s not much opportunity to see country music played live,

HM2014: Day 49
Well I didn’t want it to happen, but these last few weeks, I’ve been way off track. Things have been happening in my personal life that have made me comfort eat way more than I should, and I kinda gave up on going out for my evening walks in favour of lying in bed watching

HM2014: Day 23
Squeak. Step. Squeak. Step. Squeak. Step. Squeak. Step. That’s all I hear while I’m walking, because my right shoe is starting to fall apart. And today it kind of hit the final straw while I was walking. I could feel it rubbing my foot as I was walking, but didn’t think anything of it until

HM2014: Day 22
So if you’re following my blog, you’ll probably notice there’s been a bit of a lull in these posts. I’ve been feeling absolutely awful these last couple of weeks, so I haven’t been blogging. I’ve been trying my best to stick to my diet, although it’s gone a bit quiet on the exercise front. I’m

HM2014: Day 8
Well I finally feel like I’m on the mend, so hopefully by the weekend I will be back on form. Busy day at work today so I didn’t have chance to get out at lunch for a walk. Once I’m feeling back to normal, I’ll be back at it with all guns blazing. Stats for

HM2014: Day 7
Eurghhh. Feeling rubbish again today, although I had to go back to work for meetings. My step count was slightly higher than yesterday, but I still felt too rubbish for pushing myself hard for an hour with my maracattack. I really hope I’m feeling better soon, or I’m going to go mad! Stats for today

HM2014: Day 6
Well I was off work ill today and spent most of the day lying in bed, so I didn’t get much walking done at all, or my fitness DVD. Hopefully I’ll be feeling better tomorrow so I can get off my ass again, I feel terrible not doing anything but I’ve got no energy for

HM2014: Day 5
I woke up this morning feeling even more rubbish than yesterday, so I knew I wouldn’t be doing my DVD. But I managed to stick to my diet plan, which is something of a success, so hopefully I will be feeling better tomorrow! Stats for today Calories eaten: 1,320 Calories burned: 2,793 Steps taken: 3,721

Brimham Rocks: 5th January 2014
As I mentioned in my post yesterday, we went for a rather cold walk around Brimham Rocks, a National Trust property in North Yorkshire, near Ripon. Cameron had never been there before, but I went many many times when I was younger. It was a fab afternoon scrambling up and down the smaller rocks, although

HM2014: Day 4
Well today I went from feeling a little tickle in my nose when I woke up, to my nose running like a tap by dinnertime, and all my energy was gone. So today was an involuntary rest-day from Maracattack. I did, however, go for a walk at Brimham Rocks with Cameron, which I think probably

HM2014: Day 3
I was aching so much today that I was tempted to skip Maracattack. After all, I did walk more today than yesterday. But then I realised that was just an excuse that the old me would have made, so I sucked it up and put on the DVD. It felt horrible while I was doing

HM2014: Day 2
Day 2, complete! Maracattack was much harder today because my muscles were aching so much from yesterday, especially when it got to the abs section. The side planks are an absolute killer! But I made it through to the end again, kind of. Because the steps in the routine change so quickly, it’s hard to

HM2014: Day 1
Well after a chat with my boyfriend, I’ve actually decided to blog daily instead of weekly. I just feel that if I blog weekly, there’s loads of chances for me to deviate from the track, whereas if I’m blogging every day, it keeps me accountable. I think blogging on a night before bed will be

Day One, Fresh Start, New Beginnings and All That Jazz…
So here it is, day one of my mission 2014. It would have started yesterday, but it was Cameron’s annual family New Years Day party, and I was expecting a lot of food. Boy was I right, I think I must have eaten half a pig in roast gammon, roast pork, sausage rolls and pork
