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…

Weigh 5: Weigh in
This week the lovely Mitch – a PT at Genesis Preston – offered us a session. Neither of us had done personal training before so we were a bit nervous, but we went along and actually had a really good time and got a great work out! Mitch had us doing all kinds of work…
Challenge #3: The Pool
This week we thought we’d add a different kind of work out to our regime- so we squeezed into Hannah’s old one pieces and went to the local pool! Unfortunately we got there the same time as a football team and it took us a while to get the courage to walk out in our…
Week 3: Weigh in
This week we are both starting to notice the weight loss on ourselves. You would think this would be a good thing, but the unfortunate fact remains – that we are girls… so we are still managing to be critical on ourselves. Repeated statements going round this week are: Hannah: “I’m losing my bum… I…
