A Life On Fire: June 2014

http://a-life-on-fire.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, 29 June 2014. How do you like your eggs in the morning? I have never been a breakfast person. Heck, I have never been a morning person at all. In fact, it's fair to say, that since turning 18 and leaving the rigour of sixth form there are probably very few mornings I have actually seen. The concept that there might be more than one ten o clocks in a day was alien to me! Since leaving my student home and moving into my own little flat (such a scary, grown up thing to be able to say! The sudden sil...

A Life On Fire: Carbs: friend or foe?

http://a-life-on-fire.blogspot.com/2014/06/carbs-friend-or-foe.html

Tuesday, 10 June 2014. Carbs: friend or foe? A few of the girls at work today were questioning me about my diet whilst I was trying to lose weight. What did I eat? What didn't I eat? Do I eat at ALL? The common question which kept reoccurring was, "but what about carbs? Surely you don't eat carbs? You must have cut out bread and potatoes? It makes perfect sense then for my next blog post to be all about carbs; are they the enemy or something we can still enjoy whilst losing weight? I'm really against all...

A Life On Fire: Sleep yourself thin

http://a-life-on-fire.blogspot.com/2014/06/sleep-yourself-thin.html

Wednesday, 18 June 2014. But, apart from the fun of laughing at the people who omitted the large big mac and fries they had as an afternoon snack from their food diaries, the real hidden gems in the show were the experiments run into dieting.

A Life On Fire: Before and After

http://a-life-on-fire.blogspot.com/p/before-and-after.html

The above pictures are 8 weeks, 24lb and two dress sizes apart. Looking back now it feels like a lifetime ago and I barely recognize the girl in the first photo. What amazes me most is that when I first decided to get healthy and make a change for life, I never genuinely believed i'd be able to see any difference. Now, I cannot imagine ever going back. So here is what worked for me:. 1) Cut out junk food. 3) Switch to diet drinks. Clearly diet coke is still not particularly great for your health; its ful...

A Life On Fire: Race for Life: Cancer, We're Coming to Get You

http://a-life-on-fire.blogspot.com/2014/06/race-for-life-cancer-were-coming-to-get.html

Sunday, 8 June 2014. Race for Life: Cancer, We're Coming to Get You. When my alarm went off at 7am this morning the last thing I felt like doing was getting up and running 5k. After two back to back 13 hour shifts at work, followed by a 5k walk home from work when I finished at 11pm the night before, I was exhausted and the temptation to switch off my alarm and roll over in bed was pretty strong! Impressively, the entry tickets alone for this race raised over £300,000 which really emphasises how gre...

Monday, 19 May 2014. The place where most people fall down when attempting to cut their calories, or their waist lines, is snacking. It doesn't help that all the health and diet advice out their recommends fruit and nuts as their low calorie snack replacements. The majority of us crave high fat high sugar snacks and a handful of fruit and nuts, nutritious as they are, just do not seem to cut it! 1) Ben and Jerry's Frozen Yoghurt. Metcalfes Topcorn is perfect then because when it says 108 calories per ser...
