Can’t believe I came to Germany and ended up eating at French restaurants. Where is my German sausage!

Day one hall one. So much sweets!!

Hotel lighting blah blah blah

Off to a conference to eat sweets for 3 days. I need all your sympathy for my hard work, please.

Today my senior manager provided me feedback for my annual review Positives - I make a good personality hire. Negatives - I have to be asked to do things and don’t simply read people’s minds.

An eclectic selection of reads on the go.

I spent my day in a sweet factory test kitchen developing new concepts. I bloody love my job.

10k smashed now ready for my Burns supper!

At what point does VO2 max reach critical limit and you no longer need to breathe?

This week has felt like a soggy bog. With blue Monday and an assignment that felt uninspired. But. We got through blue Monday, got the assignment submitted, read nearly 100 pages of my book, but most importantly even in the rain went for that run.

I want these but they are definitely not worth the £73. Any recommendations for anything similar or favoured swims? Best suggestion or biggest donation towards a paid gets to see me in them first.

It took just 22 minutes to devour an entire Tony’s chocolonly. It took only 5 further minutes for the regret to set in.

2kg down since Jan 1st and my fastest 10k!

Can they not host park run at a more respectable time for a weekend. I’d love to join in, but it’s too early.

Apple fitness would have me think running is going to kill me.

Best thing about loving art as someone who’s not a millionaire, is that printing a copy can mean just as much as having the real thing.

Well done me.

People who microwave fish in the office

My post run sweaty pics are not a look.

Had to give a presentation on how to manufacture tinned fish. Sexy. Least I had my influence pose ready.

At the start of the year got my new running gear on and omg I’m so proud of myself for keeping up with it despite the cold.

Apple Watch making me look bad.

How handsome was Dougie boy in his new years tux?!

Started the year with a run this morning and polishing off the last of the chocolate this afternoon. Balance.

All these festivities. I’m stuffed, and I’ve had a lot to eat 😜.

Today’s my birthday. Who wants to buy me the speedos I’ve been wanting?

Why strictly got me crying like this.

Having spent the day in a sweet factory eating my weight in chocolate mini eggs has restored the balance.

I love my job. But the current Christmas chaos makes me wonder if retraining to eat food for a living was actually worth it.

Only went and bastard stood on it again leaving work.

Things you’d put in room 101. That random bit of the path that shoots dirty water up your leg when step on it.

Home alone for the night, I ate an entire sourdough loaf. Not the wild night I expected to have.

Morning 🌚

Dads ready for his first Xmas party 🎉

Turns out the most effective way to get a faster run is have a stressful day at work.

Love my new shoes ♥️

Got my first pair of proper running trainers. I bet you can’t catch me.

How can your brain fail you so bad because you’ve simply not had a coffee. This morning has been so unsuccessful I’m ready to write off the entire week.

My over 30s selfie. 34. (Yes I changed it)

Working on my thighs by carrying all the responsibility of my relationships.

Made use of the warm spell earlier and went for a run. Was feeling my oats so took a few photos.

Meant to be studying but come to the pub quiz instead.

I’ve always been a fan of going to bed early, but the heated blanket pre warming the bed from 9pm is too inviting.

Any tips for; getting over the anxiety of the weight section at the gym; getting thick shoulders and arms.

Art got me thinking. I should call him.

Wild Saturday at the bingo with @jparcher.com @jmcain.bsky.social @rm125.bsky.social

5 almond croissants in my pack of 4. The gods are happy with me today!

Successful week studying. A less successful morning in the test kitchen. Now to start the weekend rewatching Avatar.
