Walking up fells...

Happy New Year, everyone!

It's still January, so I feel like I can still wish everyone a Happy new Year. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break - it feels like forever ago now.

This post is long overdue, but it's just going to be a short one today. I did say I would be taking a break from social media, but I never meant to include my blog in that too - it feels like lately my life has been sucked up by work, but now that the mornings are starting to get (slightly) lighter, I've decided to make more of an effort to pick up my life outside of work again. I've noticed for the past few years that January/February are the worst months for me - I crave the sunlight and lighter mornings/nights, and I can't seem to work up the motivation to do anything. But I decided to start small and write this blog post, and then hopefully do some writing later on in the week.

However, this post isn't just about metaphorical fells in my mind - it's about real fells too! (For those of you not from the north of England, a fell is essentially a small mountain :)).

I have some exciting news - the Engineer and I have decided to set up our own YouTube channel! We have our own art company (http://yetibean.com/) and this is kind of a branch out from that. At the moment, we're documenting our weight loss, but we have some very exciting ideas about what to film next in the pipeline, so stay tuned!

You can watch the first episode on our YouTube channel below:

  4. Love the YouTube video - stunning scenery. I'm the same with the dark mornings - I really ought to hibernate, but work tends not to like that :-)

  5. How exciting--the YouTube stuff. And brave. Social media is overrated, eh? I went on a cruise for a week, and when I got back, I couldn't believe that it took me TWO DAYS to catch up on the BARE BONES of my social media interactions. Now that's a bit much. It's got me reevaluating the whole thing.

  6. I'm on the same journey--although not so much outdoors. I'm walking on an indoor walking track for an hour every day. But I've been doing that...it was only when I started watching calories that I saw weight loss. I've lost 6 pounds...which is about half a stone, I guess? Still a ways to go.
