BLOG: 12 Weeks to a Better Body?
by Carly
It started in September I’m not sure I like the concept of quick-fix diet and exercise programmes. I think they offer people a way to punish themselves, and I don’t think they’re a sustainable thing to keep up once they’re finished. Sure, they get results. But I’m not sure I like the journey they take someone on, nor the (psychological) destination they often lead someone to. … Read More BLOG: 12 Weeks to a Better Body?
BLOG: The Shame of IBS
by Carly
If you suffer from IBS then you’ll know the difficulty you have describing it to someone who doesn’t. You’ll also recognise the constant struggle to keep a happy and normally functioning digestive system, and the way that when you’re suffering an episode you can’t really think about anything else. For me, I’ve got a sensitive digestive system- and a whole host of food can … Read More BLOG: The Shame of IBS
REVIEW: Yoga Supper Club at God’s Own Junkyard
by Carly
The trek to Walthamstow was a frantic one in order to get to the special location. I power walked 20 minutes from Walthamstow Central, through the borough I first lived in when I arrived in London 10 years ago, barely recognising it. But there was no time to marvel at Walthamstow Village. I had a yoga class and dinner date in a junkyard to … Read More REVIEW: Yoga Supper Club at God’s Own Junkyard

by Carly
I’m getting a bit tired of having to defend the name of this blog. Some of you- you get it. And I guess the good thing is, I only really want this happy, inspirational little community to consist of people who “get it”- otherwise I’m trying to fake something to attract a larger group of people, and not being genuine in the process. My … Read More BLOG: In Defence of a Name
BLOG: Project HB’s Personal Best (or, PHBPB)
by Carly
At the beginning of the year, I signed up to a couple of mid-year races with a click of a mouse and little thought to training. The races crept nearer, as I was trying to get to sleep, I kept having flashes of coming last in a race… or being pecked to death on the race course by a giant bird of prey in … Read More BLOG: Project HB’s Personal Best (or, PHBPB)

BLOG: The Day I Ran A Marathon in 6 hrs 31 mins
by Carly
This post is for all the people who were fat kids. People are often surprised when they learn that I once ran a marathon. Well, ran is probably an exaggeration. Limped a marathon might be more accurate. Limped, walked, crawled, cried and tantrumed my way through 26.2 miles would probably be entirely accurate. I started this website because I wanted to share my journey … Read More BLOG: The Day I Ran A Marathon in 6 hrs 31 mins
