One of the best things about having a friend at beauty school is the local tricks they learn… An amazing and affordable day in Melbourne.
Defeated and covered in soy sauce… why I’m furious at health food.
The other day I felt like a hot lunch. But, while my heart was down on its knees begging for hot chips or pasta, I instead went in search of dumplings. I felt great about my decision though, and it was one of those days where I was in heels and a pencil skirt – lookin’…
Why sugar is the new fat… And 5 simple ways to lower your intake every day.
In the 90’s we were told fat is bad and everyone became scared of it. The clever marketers got wind of this and jumped on the bandwagon. In a short amount of time, formulations were changed in products to lower the fat content, and to make up for this decline in flavor… they added sugar….
The Paleo Way (to kill your child)
Can somebody please explain to me why everybody seems to be taking their dietary advice from shit-for-brains Evans?
Easter, guilt and kilos.
Hands up if you feel awful and disgusting and regret almost everything you ate this Easter. Good, so not just me. I feel like it was an endless cycle of drinking and eating with not much physical activity aside from walking to the esky for another beer. I think I went way too YOLO this year and…
Jump outta bed… and work it like an animal!
It’s been on your mind all week. Consuming your every thought. First thing you think of when you wake up in the morning, and last thing before you go to sleep. Did Mel manage to get up at 5.30 every weekday this week? (if you’re behind on why, read this then come back). I’ll put you…
Today’s workout: Upper body HIRT (HURT might be more accurate!)
Last week I was a bit naughty and just did whatever workout I felt like and did miss a couple of days. Doing much better this week! And, because I promised Kara I’d stick to the program, today is upper body HIRT (high intensity resistance training) day. It went a little something like this… It all started…
Wanting to have our cake and eat it too (and lose weight and be fit and be healthy)… Make it chocolate thanks!
I’ve always been a cynic of anything which tastes like junk food yet boasts about being healthy. There’s a new “natural” sweetener in the market at the moment called stevia (well, ok it’s not really new, it was approved for sale in Australia in 2008 and has been used to sweeten food for hundreds of…
Advice from Kara: How to get out of bed early for a work out
I had a call from Kara yesterday. She asked how I was going and I admitted my alarm clock had gotten the better of me a couple of days this week. I hear the beep beep at 5.30 and look something like this: The advice she gave me I thought was pretty good. She said: When your alarm…
Cardio HIRT (I did it really super fast)
So, I’m a couple of weeks in, and I think I’ve realized Kara hates me. Just kidding. This thing is tough, but I didn’t sign up to it thinking it would be easy. The point is to take my fitness to the next level and that’s what it’s definitely doing. Check out me doing the…
