Dee Fraser: I once did a charity event where I ran up 51 floors of a hotel in aid of Médecins Sans Frontières

I am not a morning person at all, so on work days the alarm is set for 7.30am as I need to be up and out as quickly as possible, otherwise I'd just switch off my alarm and go back to sleep. My morning routine consists of showering, dressing, doing make-up, packing fruit and yoghurt and some breakfast and jumping in the car. As I have either a 30-minute or one-hour commute to work, I also grab a quick cup of tea to take with me. Weekends are different – on Saturdays I'm up at 8.15am to shower then head to the river for a training session with my fellow Lagan Dragon Paddlers. Lagan Dragons are Northern Ireland's first ever dragon boat club for people affected either directly or indirectly by breast cancer. The club offers tremendous support to everyone who comes along.

Either yoghurt with banana and kiwi fruit or chia seeds, fruit chunks in oat milk and – one day a week – two poached eggs and a hash brown.

Usually a ham salad sandwich or a main meal from the office canteen.

Either something with meat and veg or a sandwich, depending on what I had for lunch.

Yes, I try to eat healthily with plenty of fruit, veg, protein and fish. I take vitamin D, B12, multi-vitamins and omega 3.

No, I prefer exercise and eating as normally and healthily as I can rather than dieting. I don't think that I have the discipline for a diet, as it always looks like hard work. I did the cabbage soup diet in my early 20s, though, when it was all the rage – it was awful.

A nice bottle of red wine with a good meal and a packet of Marks and Spencer crisps. Alternatively, going out for dinner with friends.

I exercise four days a week – that will be with the Dragons or else cycling, running or walking. I keep mentally fit by talking to friends or colleagues, reading mindfulness books and creating goals for myself.

Any movement is exercise, so if you don't want to put in hours in the gym, just go for a walk in the countryside or somewhere close by.

I was a massive fan of all sports while at school. I was on the cross-country team and hockey team and I swam and ran for my school house team. I much preferred being on a hockey field than being stuck in a classroom. Sports days at school were always my favourite day of the year. I remember that my dad was one of the few parents who came to watch. I also did extra-curricular activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which I did to gold level, and skiing – basically anything I could to avoid homework.

Tipple. I do like a nice relaxing glass or two of red wine with friends to unwind after the working week.

Stairs. I once did a charity event where I ran up 51 floors of a hotel in aid of Médecins Sans Frontières.

I actually have a bit of a habit of reading two books at the same time and switch between them - one is Here's The Story, a memoir by Mary McAleese, and the other is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. They are two very different books, but I am really liking both of them.

I don't watch a lot of TV or Netflix, but I love The Big Bang Theory – you've just got to love Sheldon.

I moved to Belfast during the pandemic when we were still in lockdown, so it was difficult as I didn't know anyone here. I think the biggest thing would be that I'm okay with my own company.

When I came to Belfast, I managed to find the Lagan Dragons, having done dragon boating before. I was delighted to find them as they are an awesome club to be part of.

It took me a long time to master meditation, but I find it relaxing. I also like to read mindfulness books.

I don't really set myself goals but I hope to stay fit and healthy.

It varies from 10.30pm-12.30am and no, I don't think I get enough sleep. I think, though, that you can get fixated with Fitbits and other devices and I don't know how accurate they are.

Following the teacher's advice on chosen career – I was told that going into sports/sports management was not the route I should take. Grant you, I was not going to be an Olympic champion, but I did want to do more sports management. However, I ended up going into banking after college.

Probably, since returning from life as an ex-pat for several years I think that family have become more important to me.

No, I don't think so; we are not immortal, so coronavirus or any other event hasn't changed that fact. I say, 'Live life to the fullest and regret the things you did rather than the things you didn't'.
