Motivation

Motivation is an elusive beast, you either have it or you do not and to catch it is a challenge in itself. Be honest with yourself, how many times have you started a task and lost motivation half way through or planned to do something but found that you lack the motivation to start the

Are you drinking enough water?

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far, and whilst we may have drunk more than normal, I bet very few of us drank enough – the recommended daily intake of 3 litres per day. As gorgeous as the warm weather is, it can pose health risks, including heatstroke and sun burn, but

Did Lockdown turn you into a Chunk, Drunk or Hunk?

I’m addicted to sugar – Help!

There I’ve said it, I’m addicted to sugar, well puddings to be precise. I don’t drink, smoke, or take drugs so I suppose as vices go, a cake isn’t that bad. But here’s the thing I have a pudding after every evening meal, and I don’t mean a yoghurt or an apple but an actual

Route 66 Walkers arrive in Kansas – National Walking Month

Last week the team walked 365 miles which saw us virtually arrive in Kansas, our next stop along Route 66 in the US. The team picked Route 66 as a challenge during May, which is National Walking Month. Walking is good for our minds, our bodies and our neighbourhoods and has been a lifeline for
