 Well what can I say, in terms of weight loss nothing has changed. 

I stepped on to the Wii balance board this morning and I haven't lost any weight what so ever. But I have in fact not put anything on either, so that is a blessing. I haven't been paying too close attention to food this month, but I do have a smart watch and it is keeping track of my step count etc. I regularly achieve 10k steps during the course of the day which is probably why I haven't put anything on.

I do need to increase my water intake though. I have found it difficult to focus on myself during the day at school and I need to break this habit and actually take comfort breaks at appropriate times. I am sure this will help somewhat to making a difference. 

In other news, some things have changed. Not loads as I am still learning, but I now have a YouTube channel (find it here https://www.youtube.com/@JustPickOneUK) which I am excited about. I intend to make video content about travel and anything else that takes my fancy. 

The first video was an unboxing of my new DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vlogging camera and I must say I love it. Based on many reviews and "what to do with it" videos I chose it because of its range of features and the ease of use. Plus it is small enough to fit in a coat pocket. Hence the name. I'm going to upload my first proper video to the channel later on so please do let me know what you think. 

It's half term next week and I think we are all ready for the break. I'll let you know how that goes in a future blog post but for now I'll wrap up this little update. 

Until next time

Xx

40 before 40! The Full List

-

Well here is a challenge!  My husband asked me what I'd like to do for my 40th which is coming in 10 months. I said I'm not sure. There's lots of things I'd like to do really. I'd love to travel, eat nice things, see family, be productive at home, be alone, so quite a mixture really. Then it came to me while watching another YouTuber (Paul Messner) talk about the impact of doing something different. I'd like to do 40 things before I turn 40. These could be small and take a day to do. They could be big and take a week to do. Some things will take time, money and planning. They can be huge and take all 10 months. But all of them should be an experience, achieve a goal and / or improve my life in some way.  Doing the adventure of the UK road trip has really inspired me that things like that are possible. It is possible to do things that are different to the norm. I can live in a better way than before. At the moment I have no job to go to. No restriction in those t...

Campsite TV - What is it and how do I get in on the action?

-

When going tenting like we do, one of our favourite pastimes is Campsite TV. This doesn't mean getting out an aerial and looking for some signal while shouting "left, a bit right a bit!". I mean the comings and goings of other people on the campsite. The caravans, campervans, the tents, the site staff all going about their business without a care in the world. In my view, the best campsite TV occurs when you've been pitched for a couple of days and know the lay of the land so you can sit and judge others, (only in a kindly fashion), on where they believe the best spot is for them. It is particularly funny if the wind is blowing a bit hard or if this is a new or borrowed tent and they have no idea how to pitch it. Then you get to watch them pitching their tent / place the caravan and see how it was all jammed into their cars, wonder at the amount or lack of things other people have. Lust over their tables, chairs, awnings and flags or tell them under your breath that t...

3 Peaks in 3 Weeks - Volume 1

-
Image
This summer holidays we decided to go on a road trip. Not just any road trip but a camp around the UK. 3 nights here, 4 nights there, maybe a hotel overnight as a pit stop and tour the sights. This is a long tale and so I will need to break it up into bits. During this holiday we realized that it might be possible to see all three of the highest peaks in the UK. Mount Snowden in Wales, Scafell Pike in England and Ben Nevis in Scotland. Would we manage it by the end? Do you have to climb the 3 peaks to still enjoy them? Let's find out in this diary series I am calling 3 Peaks in 3 Weeks.  We began our journey on the south coast of England where we live. Car all packed with our tent, provisions, child in tow and more electrical items than we should have really and then the car wouldn't start! Why.....just why?? Thankfully we were able to get a jump start from our other car and we were off......until I had a small panic about 20 yards off the driveway when I thought I didn't l...
