About

A little bit about me ….

I’m a 57 year old woman who has undergone a bit of a health and wellness journey over the past few years. I’m not here to preach or tell you what to do but just to share my experience and what worked for me. I’m also going through the menopause with all the fun that entails!

Oh, and I love fashion too!

Two years ago I had a bit of a shock when I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I say a shock but really it shouldn’t have been. Looking back at photos I was clearly overweight, my back was bad and I couldn’t walk anywhere. Also I was always so very tired. So when I was diagnosed, I had a choice, just carry on as I was, taking my new medication but not changing my eating habits or my fitness, or make some drastic changes.

I chose the latter

This is my journey and its on-going and always will be.

I hope I can help you if you are going through similar issues but at least you know that you are not on your own out there. If I can do this then I know you can. I am not a dietitian or a fitness expert by any means or would ever claim to be and need to stress that now

My passion is fashion and I will be posting about what works for me and what I’m learning about my changing body shape. I love a bright red lip, which apparently you are not supposed to wear over 50 (yeah ok) and a fondness for Zara, but my true love is Scamp and Dude which I splurge on as a treat!

Please do send me any comments, I would love to hear your stories and your recommendations! Let’s keep it positive and supportive too
