Lifting and the Little Things
Something awful happened a little while ago. I failed my deadlifts. Well, I didn’t fail them — not exactly. I just didn’t quite reach the goals I had set for myself, which is still horrible, in my opinion.

You Don't Have to Buy Fabletics to Feel Confident at the Gym
I saw an article on here, called "Killer Workout Accessories for Women Who Want to Slay" By Ossiana Tepfenhart. I read just the ad, but automatically felt sad when I read "just mustering the courage to look in the mirror while you do it (workout) all can be a chore... But, it's a lot easier if you have the right accessories and outfits."

Breathing During Exercise
When I first started working out, I looked online for tips and tricks on where to get started. I researched the difference between isolation and compound movements, weighed the benefits of strength and endurance training, and studied the strange chemistry of sports supplements. I also found many suggestions telling me how to breathe.

My HIT Weight Loss
This photo is of me in July before diagnosed, September a week after being diagnosed and March before my holiday! One of my symptoms of HIT was unexplained weight issues. I would always be a stone heavier than friends who were the same dress size and height. Doctors would also predict my weight to be a stone lighter than I was. I was picked on at school for being the bigger one out of my friends. Tried diet after diet as the comments really effected me. Through every diet nothing really changed. I have always been active as I studied musical theatre and went to various dance classes growing up, so it wasn't due to lack of exercise. I ate a balanced diet. Didn't over eat. HIT can cause a lot of water retention and problems loosing weight. After a month and a half of a histamine-free diet, I had lost nearly 2 stone.

Why Swimming is the Best Sport
Getting in is the hardest part, but when you start gliding through the water, it is a surreal experience. There's nothing to hear except the water sliding past your head, down to your neck, over your shoulders, down your waist, and over your legs. You are one with the water. Not breathing all the time is kind of a bummer, but it builds up your heart rate and keeps you active.

The Unlikely Runner
Around six years ago, I was coming up to a milestone birthday. I was at my heaviest, I weighed just over 13 stone, and I am only 5'4". In my head, I looked like a weeble!

Perfect Sports' Diesel Whey Protein (Supplement Reviews)
Bad pun aside. Perfect Sports' Diesel Whey Protein is one of the hottest selling protein supplements on the market. Whenever I ask my gym friends what supplements they take, 90% of them mention Diesel. And I can see why. I've used it myself for a better part of a year, and it's probably my favourite brand of protein (and I've had certain kinds that were better, but I find Diesel is the most consistently good).

Train Your Mind to Love the Gym
Working out for me has always been a necessary evil. It takes a lot of effort for me to want to go. Don’t get me wrong, I love the feeling of being a strong female, and once I do get there and start working out the feeling of dislike disappears. I like gaining muscle, I like being lean, and for a long time (6 years) I was even training as a kickboxing fighter. Trust me, I love that stuff. But it’s just hard to keep me in the mindset that I have to be there. I need to take care of myself better so that I can be the badass that I’ve always been.
