The major shifts a woman experiences throughout her cycle can have a major impact on memory, sex-drive, hunger, energy levels and mood. If it can have such an affect [...]

It's that time of year, you know dark mornings and dark nights... It's like winter just sucks the motivation from everyone.

Did you know I work in education? I still teach part time at a local college in Glasgow. Teaching fitness mostly and occasionally some sports coaching.

I love the quote from Alice In Wonderland "If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there."
