We are moving house this week!!!!!
Sorry folks for being MIA, so stressed with the house move but it happening at the end of this week.
At least I’m getting a great workout going up and down stairs constantly and carrying ridiculous heavy boxes!
Keep safe all!

It’s the start of another month! One year on from the weirdest year of a lot of our lives.
I came across this workout routine and thought it’s enough to work but not so much to make you quit. And man I need something to focus on just so it’s SOMETHING!
Whose with me doing this challenge for March (ignore the three month bit or carry on if you want).
Apologies for the gap between posts! Life’s been hectic but only in the work/sleep/work/sleep sense.
Today we ventured out for a walk at our fave spot. We’ve both been a bit stressed the past few days so we wanted to clear our heads. Although we didn’t climb up the big hills and across the moors we did conquer some small hills and even managed 9 miles.
Not bad when we purely went for just a leisurely stroll. One step closer!
Yesterday was a milestone for this year. Yesterday I walked the furthest that I have done all year. Well, since September even. Yesterday I walked 4miles.l!
It wasn’t in a picturesque setting and my goodness it was so boring but I did it regardless. 4 miles from my doorstep around the town and back home.
I’m mega achey today and tired but feel better for it. I’m trying to get rid of my post Covid frustration of not being able to do what I used to and just getting on with it. By beck, there’s a bloody long way to go but it’s a start.
4 miles! Let’s try and do more by the end of the month.
Stay safe,

During the Black Friday period, my social media pages kept popping adverts for Gousto up at me. Even AI knows I’m fat! “50% off your first box and 30% off your next 3” I thought that sounded quite decent and so clicked.
Looking through the menu I could have selected at least 10 meals that I fancied so I decided to give Gousto a go.
Now my girlfriend is very fussy when it comes to food so I decided to select the 4 meals for 2 people per week plan but have my half for dinners and save the rest for lunches.
I signed up and downloaded the app, selected my 4 meals, opted what day I’d like my delivery (which is free) and that was that. All very simple.
The delivery day came, in the morning I received a text to tell me an hour time frame to expect my delivery. Always helpful when planning my day. On schedule, the driver came and delivered my Gousto box. Inside there’s a separate cold box with the meat inside and ice, packets of sauces and other small bits numbered to correspond with the chosen recipes, loose veg/fruit etc and your recipe cards. It felt like Christmas.
All the meals come with recipe cards with easy broken down stages that make the meals simple to make even for a novice like me. You can also order a free recipe folder to keep all of your recipes in.
The Gousto App is extremely simple to use. Every week they release the weeks worth of recipes to choose from for the following week. There is always lots to choose from and have so many options for vegetarians/vegans/gluten free/ lactose free etc.
Here are some of the meals I’ve made so far (please excuse the sketty baking trays – we are in the process of moving so waiting to buy more when move house).
If you want to try Gousto let me know. Use my code SOPHI42091647. Use it to get 50% off of your first box and 30% the rest of your months boxes! You can cancel at any time! Visit the link here to start up: https://www.gousto.co.uk/.
And as if all of that isn’t enough to get you to try Gousto … most if not all the packaging is recyclable and my cats LOVE the boxes!
I am definitely loving Gousto thus far – 4 weeks in. I’m not over spending buying lots of excess food and wasting it. Im not snacking as much as I used to be and I’m also not stressing about what meals I should have and make. Give it a go and see if you like it as much as we do!
