I’ve probably mentioned the place in the city before that not only has great meals for lunch in bento boxes, but also has tranquil music playing. It certainly is a great hideout or place to go when you want to get away from what is going on in life or work, it’s called Fo [...]

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 [...]

Just a quicky to advise that I started categorising my recipes now and you’ll notice in the “Archives” section above and the “Browse by Category” on the RHS, that there are now sections for sweets, legumes etc.
Now that there are plenty of recipes, I thought it was a worthwhile time to make it easier for [...]

Interestingly enough, I had trouble deciding what to call this one. Is it a curry, is it dahl, is it a casserole or is it really a soup? In the end, I thought I’d file this one under soup.
This very quick and simple dish is not only very delicious but low in fat [...]

Fennel. I don’t think I would’ve ever thought about trying this as a kid. It doesn’t really loook appetising….this white bulb with thin stringy leaves. The smell…even worse!
Who could like a vegetable that smells of aniseed?
I was never even game enough to try this vegetable until now… This is one vegetable [...]

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’ve been struck down with a cold and decided to order this sweet little number yesterday at Enlightened Cuisine, a vegetarian restaurant in South Melbourne. Upon eating this, my nose has cleared up and I felt so, so comforted that I needed to try and replicate this last night for today’s bento.
After researching the [...]

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 [...]
