I started this project with the intention of getting fitter and stronger and feeling ready to compete again. I have been making progress and all that, but the general goal had no end date. Until now that is… Well, maybe not an end date as such but certainly a significant interim milestone… OK, what I… Read More Project competition ready just got more important…
Once upon a time there was a person who wanted to be fit enough to dance in a mask, so they set themselves up with a blog and a challenge. This person was all about cardio fitness and quite a bit about shrinking themselves, and consequently a do loads of stuff every day set of… Read More Project Competition Ready / Janathon Update…
It’s the weekend, and you know what that means… It means lifting up heavy things in the shed gym and putting it down again 😀 Well, actually it doesn’t always mean that, but this weekend that is what it meant!

I LOVED IT!! Don’t get me wrong there was a teeny bit of me that was… Read More West Sussex Strongest – I did it!!
1 day to go! Action stations the competition is tomorrow…this is not a drill! Repeat this is not a drill!! I am slightly panicking, of course. Panicking and trying to figure out the best thing to do today to fully prepare myself! Ok, I am not really panicking, not really, but I am somewhat apprehensive… Read More West Sussex Strongest: Performance anxiety…
Well, legs and cardio, but the cardio also involved legs. It was a run, running (for me at least) involves my legs. I’ll start with the run, mainly because it happened first. Although this is not always the case, I do tend to stray from the chronological these days. And the point, I seem to… Read More Project Energise: Days 14 & 15 Focus on the legs
