Alongside 35 hours of BSc Dietetics and Nutrition work, PT and classes, I was offered an opportunity I simply couldn't refuse. To lead the exercise to music courses for a top fitness training company allowing lots of fitness creativity and experimenting alongside tutoring others - my ideal job, so I have added another 16 hours of work to my week.

As well as being the best mummy I can be to my little man - days seem to be flying by and training is suffering. I need to buy a HUGE diary and organise everything, luckily I always prepare my meals a week in advance so don't waste loads of time cooking every day. However after a 12 hour working day as much as I am desperate to get in the gym, I am not progressing at all. Luckily for the last few days I have been taken under various experienced weight trainers wings and they have pushed me onwards. Conclusion being - I need a training partner (and a few more hours in the day!)

However I did get a huge delivery courtesy of Reflex Nutrition, which cheered me up a tad!
