I was born in England before moving to New Zealand at the tender age of 15. I love to read, I crossfit, I am a weightlifter and I love the pinup scene. I spend most of my Saturdays going with my friend op-shopping and on Sundays I relax and do nothing.

I have a mount tbr (to be read), so this post really doesn't help me, but there are sooo many good books that I wan't to read. A small novella (which is the only reason I have bought it!). "Adriane is an astronaut on an extrasolar research vessel. She and her fellow crewmates sleep between …

My coach recently put me on one of the hardest deadlift programs out there around 7 weeks ago. When I first started, my deadlift was 108kg/238lbs.

Change is good
When you have finally finished your project and been told that you are graduating, it is the best feeling ever. Three years of part time study along with full time work and training is draining, but it is so fulfilling when you finally hold that piece of paper in your hands. This graduation leaves me …

Week 1 Done
Starting a journey is always difficult, but this one was a little less so. Taking things one step at a time has helped me be more aware of what I am putting into my mouth. Still isn't stopping me shoving chocolate in my mouth yet though! Week 2 seems to be looking at what we …
