How am I feeling a year on?

So I thought I’d give you all an update of where I am and how I’m feeling right now. I’m just over a year post baby number two. It’s not been a plain sailing year. Plus it’s been super busy. Thankfully nothing horrific has happened but it’s been both physically and mentally tough (and I’m […]

I’m finally returning to a physical state of normal!

What’s a normal physical state? For me ‘a normal physical state’ is about being able to move my body in any way I want, running, jumping, lifting. It’s feeling strong and confident.

That’s before they decide to start a family. When they start a family they are expected to continue to be a career driven women, a supermodel, […]

The Jealousy of Living With a GB Athlete
