Some people meditate and recite affirmations. All i need is a good grime mix and a gym workout. Today;s motivating track was most definitely HeavyTrackerz. Puts a big smile on my face and keeps me going. Help me take these tunes to the Arctic! Vote for me in the Fjallraven Polar competition: http://polar.fjallraven.com/contestant/?id=29

Today was a good day, starting to see some love for my story #swimmingwithoutstress #riseuk and a great interview by #therunningbug 😍 if you haven’t voted yet, please do, and share my story with everyone you know - it’s good to know that you can change your life (even if you think you can’t)

My first interview is up on The Running Bug! Talking about my weight loss and fitness transformation - and of course, my desire to win the Fjallraven Polar competition!

What do you love most about your new life?

"The potential! That probably sounds daft but I’d got myself into a lifestyle that was limited by my size, fitness levels and mental health. Suddenly I feel like anything is possible again. That’s pretty exciting".  https://therunningbug.com/fitness/motivation/i-lost-7-stone-and-now-want-to-dogsled-across-the-arctic http://polar.fjallraven.com/contestant/?id=29

Lamb with my cauliflower rice version of Mojardara (recipe below). Sometimes I get a bit obsessed with cooking certain meals...even if I don’t have the time. The payoff is plenty of leftovers for lunch’s (for days 😂)

This comes with a health warning though...it’s cauliflower, onions and lentils 😮🤦🏻‍♀️ a bad recipe for some people 😂 3 small onions - sliced and fried, put aside on kitchen roll (this is not healthy - you have to leave this out if still losing lbs but I love them 😋)

Tin of green lentils, blended or grated whole cauliflower, 1 tbsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp ground coriander, 2 tsp ground cumin, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsp turmeric, salt, raisins.

Heat the seeds then spices...then stir in the lentils, cauliflower and raisins.

Stir for a few mins then stir in the onions. Tastes even better cold the next day 😍

Kind of imagining my cooking during the #fjallravenpolar will be slightly different 😂 vote for me

Another day and another before/after.

There was a time when I’d avoid family photos at all costs - if I had no choice I’d make sure they weren’t full length (or I’d hide behind someone/something). Most saved, I’ve cropped half my face out. I wanted to have family pics but I just hated what I looked like. It’s a good feeling knowing those days are over.

No more untagging myself from fb posts 😀

Please help achieve my dream by voting for my Fjällräven Polar entry
