This morning I got up early to do a morning run. My normal run expecting no interruptions. However, right near the end of it, two dogs appear out of nowhere and showing their teeth, approach me, barking!
What would you do in this situation? It’s possibly the scariest situation to be approached with…  [...]

Stop the presses! A new study has come out advising shy girls are more likely to put on weight.  To simply advise that the problem is being shy seems to mean a lack of research.
Speaking from experience, it’s a combination of things that can cause weight gain.  Girls are shy because of issues with lack [...]

The Skinny had an article a couple of weeks ago which showed a necklace on sale having the affirmation “No excuses!” This comes quite close to the heart with me, as last year I bought a necklace from Nomination for the same reason. The affirmation on mine says, “Freedom,” which has a personal [...]

The last few days I’ve been a little unwell - down with a migraine that took me out the whole weekend. Therefore there was no cooking and very little of anything.
I did however decide that I’m back on the diet, and, back into cooking healthy vegetarian meals with calorie controlled foods. This does [...]

It was such a nice day today, that I had to get out for a run. I’m going to run at least three times a week, if my body allows! It certainly was a struggle, as it’s been so long and I won’t be leaving it this long again to get back into [...]

I weighed in this morning and my workouts with diet plan have made me turn my corner I needed. I’ve lost 3.9kgs this week and back in the right direction!
It’s been a pretty eventful week and I’m glad my diet wasn’t affected by this!
I will be planning on making some sweet potato gnocchi tonight [...]

So, thought I’d write a quick post showing my exercise tonight. I’m proud because I pushed myself through and did not only my back routine at the gym tonight, but five minutes of running and then cycling before running home in the freezing cold.
My legs were frozen by the time I got home and [...]

I headed onto the scales today as it’s something I’ve been dreading…I knew I’d put some weight on and wasn’t too surprised at the result.
I’m not sure why I stopped being so serious with my weight loss and getting fit? What made me stop? Why do I not have the same motivation as before?
I’m [...]

so, Monday morning I thought I strained a muscle in my shoulder. After heading to the physio, I have an inflamed disc in my neck. No exercise for me for a while, apart from walking and neck exercises….
Can’t say I’m very happy, as I’m heading to the Gold Coast this weekend to go [...]

…lose track of which street you need to run down to get back to your start/finish line.
Basically, that’s what I did and struggled to get back to the office on time. The run is below and took me 50 minutes to do around 8km. This was with stops for traffic lights and also [...]
