Simply put, in medical terms, according to the NHS- I am obese. OBESE! I have a health website- how in god's name can I tolerate being obese! I have been buying ever expanding clothes, I eat absolute rubbish on a daily basis, I drink too much alcohol, in fact whatever I eat tends to be bad for me- too much chocolate, too many crisps, too much beer, too much bread... need I go on? I obviously need to lose weight. However, my usual 'go to' method of weight loss- running- is gone. After numerous injuries over the past 6 years, I have been advised to stop running or face permanent damage. Even though I have to lose weight, I have no method to do it. One of my many problems is that I see food and alcohol as a pleasurable experience and a reason to celebrate is a reason to drink. With my particularly stressful job, I feel that I need a drink on a Friday having conquered a difficult week.

You may have come across many different fitness wristbands- Garmin, Apple Watch, Nike, Jawbone... the list is endless.

What I will tell you is how it has changed the way I live; the way I function. Simply put, I am definitely moving more. You cannot put a price on seeing the sunrise whilst running in the park on a crisp winter's morning. I cannot describe how refreshed I feel walking in the cool breeze during my lunchbreak. Feeling the beads of moisture on my cheek as I triumphantly complete another mile is indescribable. This is where the Charge 2 comes in- I a...
La Capannina Italian Restaurant, Sunnybank, Bury, Greater Manchester t:- 0161-766-4027 w:- La Capinnina After suffering well publicised heart ache in recent times, this Italian staple seems to be back to full strength. On a balmy Spring day, the hubbub of busy mouths permeated my eager ears as I opened the heavy glass doors, and entered this Italian oasis of food heaven. La Capinnina has been my 'go-to' Italian Restaurant for some years now, and certainly did not disappoint. Greeted as always with customary, yet not overbearing, Italian flair, I was shown to be table and eagerly perused the well stocked menu. My Funghi di Bosco (Pan fried Mushrooms with tomatoes, chilli and garlic) arrived swiftly, igniting my taste buds with a great depth of flavour, complimented by the refreshing tingle of chilli which teased but didn't overpower my palate. Despite the fact the kitchen were wrestling with a busy Mother's Day serving, the food arrived piping hot...
