I'm now coming to the end of my first ever 'bulk' and I wanted to share my thoughts with you.

It was a very strange feeling of wanting to put on muscle and therefore weight but at the same time wanting to say 'lean'. I found the extra calories hard to consume and found the excess weight a little uncomfortable but I'm hoping it all pays off soon! :D

So this weekend James and I were lucky enough to have the opportunity to run Tough Mudder with Trek, and it was just amazing!

Here are our thoughts about it - what we found hard, wet, muddy and downright challenging! We loved every second and hope we inspire you to do one too :D

Let me know if you're thinking about doing one - or have done one already!

Over the last few years I've realised that I do have a few food intolerances. It took me so long to realise that the food I was eating was making me feel horrendous - rather than that just being how my body was!

In this episode, I wanted to give you a little history on how I realised what my intolerances were, and how you can find out yours!

I've gone through points in my life where I've been very negative or very positive. Sometimes I'll be in a negative point longer than others, and sometimes I'm living in those happy vibes.

I've been trying to figure out what it is that's making me happy - so here are my thoughts on how to be positive :D

I now have a new fitness goal - doing a bikini body competition, yay! I have never done one before, and honestly have no idea what I'm doing! I'm working with a coach who is guiding me through the process though so I'm much happier and on track!

So here is where I'm at right now :D

I wanted to keep you all updated on my current situation. I'm trying to put on muscle which means putting on more weight... It's a confusing situation trying to staying 'lean' yet needing to put on weight to gain muscle...

So here's how I'm getting on.

Are you trying to put on muscle? If so, how are you finding it?
