On the gram

Got myself back to rugby training last night. I'm pretty happy with that. I even ran around without a buff over my mouth for a little bit. I have been a bit naughty and upped my preventer inhaler quite a bit by myself. I got told off for that this morning at my review appointment but being able to run around again is worth the telling off. I have to go back later to see someone else and hopefully I can convince them of my point. 🤞🏻 - #asthmareview #rugby #fitness #movementismedicine #wintersport #coldairdontcare #muddy #mudisourmakeup #oddshapedballs #training #missiontogetfit #comebackstronger #RU2C2019 #RU2C #runuptochristmas #nourishmentninja #nourishmentbeyondfood

A big thank you to The Nutrition Society for hosting and inviting us to their annual drinks and presentation at The Royal Society of Medicine last night. It was a really wonderful evening, and great to meet so many people involved with the society and making groundbreaking advancements in nutrition research. Merry Christmas! @the_nutrition_society - #thenutritionsociety #nutritionsocietyannualdrinks #nutritionsocietyawards #studentambassador #nutrition #royalsocietyofmedicine #bigchristmastree #annualdrinks #annualpresentation #merrychristmas

Second run done for Run Up To Christmas. It might have taken me two hours to get out the door but I did it. I wanted to try and do some kilometers at 6 minutes so I can see what and how that feels. I got my fastest ever km on my Garmin at 6:05 so I'm relatively pleased with that. - I always feel better when I've done some exercise and my breathing allows me to do more than I've been able to for a while now. Also, running in the cold with the right layers is not that uncomfortable. I struggle more with it in summer. It was a nice morning to be getting out as well.

I can't be the only one who really builds things up in their head and wind up procrastinating about something that will 99% make me feel good?!? It's the third year of Run Up To Christmas and before I've never quite made it to earn a medal so cross your fingers and toes for me that this is my best third year lucky. - I ran up to the Havelock open studios and saw some friendly faces such as @harkirankkalsi and @beatsandgrind who's signature blend with Mont58 coffee is so silky smooth. - - #bestflatwhiteinforesthill #foresthill #havelockwalk #havelockwalkopenstudios #RU2C #RU2C2019 #runuptochristmas #running #runner #instarunner #winterrun #festiverunning #runningwithasthma #moveforyourmood #movementismedicine #bipolarrunner #runningwithdepression #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrunner #mind #breakthestigma

So this happened yesterday... first run up no rope dyno that I’ve conquered! Slowly slowly I’m managing to do a bit more activity. I feel like I’m definitely moving in the right direction and hope that December is my foundation laying month to get me ready and strong for 2020! I saw a video of successful Olympians saying that losing helps you to win experience. I suppose it depends how you respond to the losing experiences in order to move forward. Here’s to hoping this good trajectory continues for a while. #climbing #climbergirl #thearch #dyno #firstdyno #thearchclimbing #londonclimbing #londonclimbingscene #womenwhoclimb #theonlywayisup #rebuildingfoundations #rebuildingmyself #todayslosstomorrowsvictory #strong #backmuscles #strongwomen

Appetite Regulation!!!! We do a lot about all the mechanisms involved in appetite regulation in my nutrition degree. It’s interesting; there’s SO MANY intricate and beautifully complex mechanisms at play that can affect how your appetite is regulated, or not regulated. One thing I struggle with a lot is portion control. I’m happy to admit this because I sometimes finish eating and still feel hungry (because I am), only to feel really full half an hour later. Other times, like just now, I finished where I thought I was full and now, half an hour later I feel stuffed to the brim. We don’t need to eat until we are stuffed to the brim every day. It’s less about being concerned that I am constantly overeating and more about the discomfort of either being really hungry or super stuffed like a little bell pepper. I blame my medication; there’s A LOT of evidence that quetiapine can cause metabolic syndrome, which is a fancy way of saying it messes up your metabolic health. Think type 2 diabetes, lots of weight gain and poor appetite regulation (dat me 🙋🏻‍♀️), a craving for sugar and fat above all else, feeling hungry despite eating plenty, a build up of excess fat around the middle - which is associated with cardiovascular health concerns and again, diabetes. It varies from person to person and is more likely to occur in people taking it long term (there I am again 💁🏻‍♀️) and/or at higher dosages. Other side effects are lethargy and tiredness, so people tend to want to move less. These aren’t reasons to not take mental health medications, but are amongst the things considered when thinking about prescribing, and there’s a surprising lack of information given freely by your prescriber or support for managing the physical health consequences. Although I think this is why I am always hungry and am eating too much without realising because my fullness signals are possibly delayed I’d like to get on top of it. To do this, I’m going to try and eat a bit slower, and not leaving it 5-6 hours to eat between breakfast and lunch might also help!!
