27 days of exercise: Day 1

I turn 27 year old in 27 days. I have set myself a challenge to exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes a day for the next 27 days. I am training for a marathon in June so a lot of my exercise will be running but I am hoping that this challenge will push me to branch out and try other workouts too. 

Today I am going to start with a run though. I have dinner early and at 7pm I jump on the treadmill. I complete 6km in 41 minutes with a stretch before and after. 

I'm really looking forward to the next 26 days and beyond. 

Creating opportunities

Last month I was made unemployed. I spent a lot of time looking at courses and applying for job. I have realised if I want to do something I am going to have to make the opportunity for myself.

I spent the last six years working with children with autism. I really loved my job and if I could continue what I had been doing I definately would but I have to draw a line under that now and move on. 

A few years ago I was diagnosed as coeliac and since then I have learnt so much about cooking and baking gluten free. At first I was making things to try to replace the foods I missed. Now, however, I make foods that my whole (non-coeliac) family can enjoy. I love cooking, baking and feeding people!

I hope to use this blog to justify cooking and baking more and show you all what Lisa Loves!
