And breathe. I didn’t plan a blog break right then – life just took over. First we had visitors for nearly two weeks, I thought that I could just continue on as normal but that was impossible. Work didn’t happen, blogging didn’t happen, and unfortunately neither did exercise. The good thing is that my food …

How to lose 100lbs – Accountability
I am going to start the habit of accountability here on the blog. Sometimes (like today) this will take up a whole blog post but, because I don’t want it to get too tedious, sometimes I will just add an ‘update’ paragraph or two at the end of other posts.
Beef Bone Broth
I became interested in bone broth while researching joint health, before I had heard about Paleo. Although bone broth might appear to be the latest thing, it isn’t anything new, it is simply a stock made from animal bones and vegetables, and cooked for a long time (often in a slow cooker).

The Beach
When I was a child I lived two miles from the sea. If I walked to the top of the country lane behind my house I could clearly see the sunlight and clouds reflecting on the sea in the distance.
How to lose 100lbs – part 2
When I first had the idea to start this blog I expected to write a lot about my weight-loss process. I thought that I would tell you the week by week story, so that you could follow along as it happened. Apparently when you write a weight loss diary you need to tell your readers …
Tarn Hows
Last week, for our walk, we took a trip up into the Lake District to Tarn Hows. I have a list of easy walks and the walk around Tarn Howes, while longer than I remembered, is reasonably flat and easy underfoot. We took our time and I managed to walk the whole way around, which …
