And so it is September and the official start of spring! Here in south-east Queensland, we have been cursed blessed with the return of warmer weather in late August and even some storms. One even knocked out our power which is a rare occurrence even in the height of summer when the storms are usually [...]
When I saw this shirt on Threadless, I just had to buy it because it sums up fairly well how I feel about the whole weight loss thing. Women who are overweight can be their own worst enemies at times and I suppose I’m no different. Permit me a few generalisations here. We see photos [...]
I had a feeling that this year….the year of being 30….was going to be a good year. Towards the end of last year, things just started coming together for me. I scored a new job. I started losing some weight and surprisingly I’ve managed to keep it off. Although I do keep weighing myself every [...]
Or as it should be called, Quads of Pain – Attack of the Killer Reverse Knee Lunge! Forget Wii Fit. This is not a game. This is a method of self-inflicted torture targeted at your calves, hips, bum and thighs. Thankfully today is a rest day in the 30 day challenge or I may not [...]
I don’t know why they call it spring cleaning because for some reason, I never get around to doing it in spring. I guess because spring is such a transient season of a week or two that I never get round to doing it. For some reason, when the mornings are finally starting to cool [...]
I’m a new convert to Claudius Day….don’t know who Claudius is? He’s the guy who sentenced Valentine to death….it’s just more a pity that he didn’t do it sooner. I don’t like Valentine’s Day. I hate that there is a special day set aside out of the calendar to do something nice for the person [...]
I think if for some reason that I had to be sequestered away for an unknown period of time on jury duty, I’d want to do it in a Borders book store. Preferably the three storey one in the city but if I can’t go there, the one in Mt Gravatt will do nicely. Sheriffs [...]
I spent most of the summer waiting for the last week in January to rock around so all the kids can go back to school. Of course, I don’t have any myself but I have the distinct misfortunate of being the only childless house in a street full of school aged children. They spend their [...]
I’d like to know exactly why it is that as soon as there is anything that comes with the instructions “some assembly required”, I always tend to think it can’t be too difficult. After all, if it was too difficult to do, then they would sell it whole – or at least warn you that [...]
So I decided to get a little bit more serious about the whole weight loss thing and I said casually to my doctor that I might want to see a dietitian. I imagined that I would go there, sit down and go through what I currently eat and be told the things I already knew [...]
