Reminiscing about my summer picnic at Loch Ard with Jane✨Lymphatic Facials✨Massage✨Reiki✨Renfrew & thought I’d share this simple recipe with you.

It’s orzo with chickpeas, tomatoes, avocado, radishes, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil & a few handfuls of torn rocket drizzled with EVOO, juice of 1/2 a lemon & seasoned with sea salt & cracked black pepper.

I let the chopped tomatoes marinate with a crushed clove of garlic in some EVOO & a pinch of sea salt & black pepper while the orzo was cooking. I removed the garlic once I tossed everything together giving the salad a nice, subtle flavour.

Put a little sunshine ☀️ on your plate this weekend. Would also make a great packed lunch.

Let me know if you’re enjoying my recipes & if you’d like to see more. 👇

Save this for next week when you’re tired & can’t be a*sed cooking but need a packed lunch.

**Lentil & beetroot salad with tomatoes & halloumi**

This super simple salad will also save you from spending a fortune on food to go. It’ll do you for 2 lunches.

✨ Divide a pack of microwaveable Puy lentils between 2 tubs. I use .

✨ Top each portion of lentils with a few spoonfuls of beetroot kimchi. I used VADASZ Pickles&Ferments beetroot kimchi. It has so much flavour, you don’t need a dressing.

✨ Quarter 12 or so mini San Marzano tomatoes or vine cherry tomatoes & share between each portion.

✨ Cube a block of halloumi & dry fry until browned. Top each portion with half the cubes.

✨ Once cooled, sprinkle with pumpkin seeds then scatter a few handfuls of torn rocket over the top.

✨ Voila! You have 2 packed lunches!

Also makes a nice, light dinner. Perfect for after a training session. 🏃‍♀️💪

So, I’m doing this thing and I thought you might be interested in joining me.

This Wednesday, I’m starting a wee challenge with a small group of friends & family called 100 Days Active. The aim of the challenge is simple- to be active for 30 minutes each day for 100 days. The mathemagicians out there will have already figured out that the challenge takes us through the darker months up to Christmas.

I did this last year when I was carrying a running injury & it really helped me through on those days when it was dark, wet and motivation was low. It also challenged me to find other ways of moving. I’d been wanting to focus more on strength & weight training but hadn’t managed to fit it in. I always like to think there’s a gift in being injured & this was it.
It was also really nice to be in touch regularly with far away family & friends.

But you don’t have to be training for a marathon or spending hours in the gym to do this. Maybe you’ve been trying to start a daily walking habit or starting your day with some yoga or stretching. A wee dance around your kitchen counts too. Just enjoy moving your body for 30 minutes each day. You can even break it up into 3 x 10 minute chunks of time.

We have a WhatsApp group & just report in each day. It might be a screenshot of your step count, a photo of where you were walking or just a quick message telling the group what you did. Having that layer of accountability kept me going on those days when I didn’t feel like it.

I found this really beneficial last year & really enjoyed it & thought you might like to set up your own group with friends, family or work colleagues. Or you can join me & we can set up our own 100 Days Active group where we hold each other accountable. Let me know if that’s something you’d be interested in.

This requires zero planning. All you need to do is to decide to commit. And if you think you don’t have half an hour each day, check your screen time. 😉

Let me hear your thoughts.

Had an amazing weekend swimming, walking, running, chatting and laughing with these wonderful women on the beautiful Machars peninsula. Thank you to Sarah at Swim The Lochs for bringing us all together on this magical retreat. ✨
Thank you also to New Town Hall Bunkhouse for your warm hospitality. Gathering round the big farmhouse table and sharing delicious food was a highlight.
My soul has been well & truly nourished. ✨

Killearn 10k yesterday. I love this race! 💕
Great to see so many Bella buddies & to be back on the trails again.
When I signed up for this back in December, I was recovering from a plantar plate tear. I was finally starting to feel good after 6 months of no running & thought I’d definitely be ready for this by June. It was painful to walk, to do downward dog & to stand on my tippy toes when it first happened. I had started run/walking again but got overexcited & over did it over Christmas & New Year & set myself back. 🤦🏼‍♀️
But I’ve been focussing on weight training & building up my strength & I think that held me in good stead yesterday. I may have been slow but I felt good & I felt strong. That’s something your watch is never going to tell you.

Thanks to the race organisers & volunteers for putting on another fantastic event & thanks to & for keeping me fit & strong.

Had another great weekend away with Queen’s Park Athletics Club on Arran a few weeks ago.

Had a go at ’s infamous paarlauf & went for some gorgeous walks as I’m recovering from an injury.

Loved doing yoga with these guys too. This bunch works hard & trains hard & I felt it was important to give them the opportunity to slow down, do some gentle movement & rest.

Thanks for inviting me to join you again, QPAC. 🙏🏼❤️

Got a group that you think would benefit from doing some yoga? Get in touch & let’s have a chat about how I can tailor sessions for your group or workplace.
