February 4, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I started this website a long time ago with the intention of documenting my progress as I worked towards achieving the body I wanted, but time and time again I’ve “given up”. As a qualified life coach, I understand the power of a compelling goal, but sometimes it’s harder to see things for what they are if you’re personally involved! So what happened was this… I began looking at my personal values and at what was important to me and I realised something. While I valued looking good, it wasn’t at the top of my list of values. In fact, I had values such... [Read the full story]

Breakfast? It’s BORING!

December 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Lately I’ve been trying to come up with catchy titles for my blog posts, and I’m constantly saying how you have to eat breakfast and I suppose I’m a bit like a broken record! But it’s true. So don’t take this message lightly. I know you’re heard it a million times before. “You must eat breakfast.” Yes, it’s not a message made to inspire, but do you have any idea how many people DO NOT eat breakfast? A lot. And guess how many of those people that don’t eat breakfast are overweight? Most of them. Like everybody else, you don’t... [Read the full story]

The Belly Blaster is a killer exercise that really improves your core strength and helps you to burn that tummy fat away so you can get your pre-mommy belly back! I’ve done this exercise on many occasions (probably more than I would like to think of) and if done properly, it BURNS! You can feel it as it burns away that tummy fat and strengthens your core, that’s for sure! This is one exercise that you know is working as you’re doing it!

January 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment

One of my Facebook friends pointed me to a list today which listed the top 10 New Year’s resolutions according to Amazon. The list was as follows: Lose Weight (well duh! We all knew this one would be first!) Get finances in order Go greener Curb vices (smoking, drinking, gambling etc) Get in shape (as per number 1!) Relax more Pursue a new career Upgrade your technology Organise and optimise (get things in order) Start a new hobby The sad thing about this, is that so many people obviously want to lose weight, but so few succeed because the programs or diets they choose are not manageable,...

My triathlon training continues!

February 8, 2010 · 1 Comment

Day 6 it is! On Saturday morning my husband and I went for a ride. We rode for a little over 13km and we averaged 24km per hour. We did this in around 34 minutes. It’s not an ideal time, but hey – we’re only in week 1! On Sunday I swam 300m and did terribly! I had to stop half way and ask Jason to go and get me my asthma puffer! I was stuffed afterwards! This morning I did strength and cardio and it was HARD!! I did another 300m swim tonight and it was a LOT easier than yesterday, so I’m pretty chuffed with that! Tomorrow is running with my two Italian work friends!... [Read the full story]
