Goodbye Fattember, Hello Droptober…
igh…. I have to say that the past 30 days have been pretty good. Not only are we back in Sydney and settling back into married life but it’s been the inaugural Fattember. What is Fattember I hear you say? Fattember is exactly what it sounds like. Fat-September. Think Mardi Gras or Christmas (we don’t…

Goodbye April, Goodbye Wine.
Farewell April, you’ve been awesome. Eating what I want, celebrating my birthday, three public holidays from work- how could a month be any better? But now it’s time to pay the piper. Waistlines have expanded and there are wedding dresses to fit into, bridal shower pictures to look back on, hens night outfits to find…

7 days to go!
So, I’m nearly done with my 30 day Gluten free challenge and to be honest I haven’t done THAT badly! I’ve had one full on cheat day (for Charity) and other than discovering that the muesli I ate had gluten in it, I really haven’t had to change my diet too much. Yes, there have…

Me time and A bit of a let down…
Well, as you know I finished Les Miserables last week, after a long, drawn out battle with the book. I have to honestly say that now that it’s over, I really enjoyed the story and in the end, it was worth it- all 1600 pages. So this weekend while The Runner is away cycling…

Mission accomplished!
Yay! I am triumphant this week! Not only have I finished Les Miserables but I’ve also done yoga and exercised 6 days in a row! I have to say Les Mis is what I imagine childbirth to be like, overly long, a bit boring and very painful but quite rewarding at the end. And like…

From just after my birthday until the middle of May, I would sneeze, sniffle, blow, and wheeze until I was miserably dragged to the Doctor for antibiotics (my sinuses always wound up infected) and a shake of the head (from both parties) and…

Update: Yes, I’m still craving Ice Cream…. (Click me for the Sydney Morning Herald Article!) Reading this article this morning didn’t help! FYI, Kohu Road Cookies and Cream is AMAZING as is Serendipity’s Blood Orange Sorbet and also their chocolate ice cream!!!!!!!!!! I highly suggest trying them all, they’re stocked at Maloney’s in Coogee if you…

Detox Week 1: Will someone please get me some chocolate ice cream?????
So I’m done with my first week of detoxing, and to be honest I haven’t done that badly. Only three glasses of wine (I’m allowed four) and pretty much no wheat or cow’s milk consumed by yours truly which is pretty good. I’ve been exercising and feeling really good, I’ve taken up yoga– well the…

Lent/detox
You may remember a few months ago I basically gave up everything fun and good and went on a six week detox…. Well I’m going to do it again- with some slight modifications. Why? Why would I put myself through thatagain? Well, because I felt really good while I was doing it and I looked…
