This is the first week I’ve felt quite tired on the programme. But I’m committed to getting my weight down, and I’m not giving up now. There’s been a lot of chop and change with my work hours lately which hasn’t helped, and I can’t stress how important getting enough sleep is when you’re doing this. It’s…

It’s so important to listen to your body and know when to take a breather. It’s so easy to do too much and burn yourself out – especially if you’re running around at 100mph balancing training, a career and being a parent. Sometimes you’ve got to listen to what your body is saying and take your…

Another week begins and I’m really starting to enjoy the comments I’m getting from people. Colleagues at Radio 1 are starting to say I look good/different/better and are starting to ask me how I’ve done it as I’m not making a big deal of it really. I want to get on with this…

I’m starting to feel fit and strong again. As a new mum, this is an incredible feeling. Having a baby, you’re pregnant for nine months and your body goes through all sorts of crazy, mental things.

So this week I really feel the training has moved up a gear. I am feeling soreness, but that’s because I’m lifting heavier weights than I ever thought would be possible for me. The transformation has become a way of life now three weeks in. Friends have stopped asking why I can’t go…

There’s something to be said for keeping things simple. I work long hours, I’ve got a little boy, I have a house to run and a wedding to plan – the more straightforward everything is, the better. The same goes for my diet and training on my 12-week transformation to get in shape for the big…

Monday came around again and I was very proud of myself that I had religiously stuck to the plan. Over the weekend there were various offers of lunches, meals out and trips to the pub, but I managed to dodge all of them successfully. I came to realise that Netflix is my new friend.…

One slip-up doesn’t have to spell disaster. Feeling like you have to be 100% perfect with absolutely everything can leave you feeling like everything is ruined if you have one little blip. But that’s not the case – if you fall off the wagon, it’s how you respond to it that counts! I found this…
