Emily Vernem

I was like, I'm not even napping.

I can't.

Just a suggestion.

Imagine if you said that to a friend.

Just a suggestion, but like go for a walk around the block.

And I'm like, I, oh, my God, mind your business for literally an hour.

My complicated relationship with my ring has got me thinking about how it has never been easier and more addictive to measure, to monitor, to hold ourselves to the highest of standards and to be like, I'm going to achieve 10,000 steps and I'm going to get my heart rate to this and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And in a month where our New Year's resolutions are front of mind, we're all being a little bit hard on ourselves.

I came across this theory that's trending at the moment and it's called vegan plus bacon.

Em, all the young people are talking about it.

Can you please explain what vegan plus bacon means?

Yeah, so it's sort of like I'm going to try and exercise three times a week.

If that means I do 10 minutes of stretching, I do whatever.

An hour in the sauna.

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly right.

At least you're going to the gym.

Instead of going to yoga, you just go to the lying down.

But at the end, at least you're doing it.

That is totally true.
