Frankie's Weekend

Frankie is a great advocate of healthy living but until she started to do more of her own research into what she ate, Frankie just resisted eating carbs as a means of resistance to putting on weight. She now has a keen interest in cooking, proper exercise, a varied diet, lifting weights and creatively inspiring recipes. Frankie’s blog was originally a nod to the weekend and all the things that interested her. Over time it has come to represent a 85/15 approach; meaning that for nearly 6 days of the week Frankie concentrates on healthy leaving and the rest of the time she lets herself relax into eating and living in a way that she enjoys most.
