💚Ghyll Scrambling in the Lake District💚

So much fun with the hiking gang stretching out of our comfort zones, boulder hopping and pool jumping 🙌
Thank you to our fabulous guide Mark from .journeys and thank you as always Darren for organising us all.

Blue skies and sunshine, highland cows up close, plank challenge, amazing company and a pub lunch to round off an awesome trip 🌞

Reminding myself why my regular Pilates practice is SO important 👌

So much fun!! I'll definitely be going again next year 🫶

What a morning!! 🌈 It was great fun to be part of the Rainbow Hub Workoutathon 2026 at Preston North End Football Club with my gym buddy Kate and a room full of beautiful, energetic souls doing their bit to raise money for such a wonderful cause ❤️

We did 3 hours - Warm up, HIIT, Zumba, Body Combat, Body Attack, Rockfit and Pilates

My first time taking part and I'll look forward to returning next year!

This mornings run goal, further not faster, enjoy the surroundings in the park on this beautiful day and to just keep going until Pippin had finished at the groomers 🙌

I find running hard but I love the way it makes me feel when I've finished. The real dopamine hits come from doing hard things that challenge you, leaving you feeling accomplished. Dopamine is your motivational brain chemical. It lights up your brain and makes you feel productive and excited, which in turn increases your ability to maintain discipline.

Check out and give him a follow to learn more about boosting your brain chemistry. I'd also thoroughly recommend his book The DOSE Effect (DOSE standing for Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins)

Have a wonderful
💚 Jen 💚

Batteries recharged in Barbados 🇧🇧🌊
Sharing a little snippet of our Caribbean Christmas in the sunshine.
Grateful for family time, snorkeling shipwrecks we saw our first sea turtles, explored lots of beautiful beaches, paddle boarding, new cuisine and sunshine in abundance 🌞
I've read 3 books and pressed reset. Precious time indeed!

As 2025 comes to a close, I want to wish you all a happy, healthy new year filled with opportunities, love and gratitude.
Here's to 2026 🎉❤️
Raise your glass, love Jen xx
