Weight Watchers

I was surprised when a reader tweeted me to say I’d been mentioned in the February issue of Weight Watchers Magazine. I wasn’t aware at all as I don’t read it and I’d chosen to pass on the work opportunity offered by the WW marketing team last year to my friend Amanda who needed it [...]

I hope you guys enjoyed this week’s Aussie Curve’s post where I reviewed my new activewear from Virtu and shared that it’s ok to “break the rules”, that you can be attractive whilst you’re active. Today I wanted to talk to you about the things I love to use for a workout. The gym is [...]

Today I took Aidan to the shops and we went into Katie’s. There was a gorgeous Aztec Pencil Skirt, black & white and really stretchy, it was beautiful. I tried it on and I loved it but they only had a size XL which is a 18 in Katies. Now I dont know about you [...]

The Tide is High

I watched as my personality seemed to shrink in front of the mirror as I stood there, my eyes grey and bemused by my reflection. I slipped on my favourite SARA swimsuit, I loved how I felt in it, secure yet colourful. My eyes caught a glimpse of my inner upper thighs and I shuddered, [...]

Suck it In

{image} I’m looking forward to summer, the sun is shining brighter and I know Aidan is just going to love the beach. I wish I could say I have been 100% committed to the gym so I had a rockin’ bod to show off but I wasn’t and I haven’t. It seems that in winter [...]

Back on your Bike

My head is reeling. I constantly feel like I’m forgetting something and it seems that 60% of the time I am. Being unorganised bothers me, I mean it really, really bothers me. To the point where I get so flustered all I want to do is stomp my feet and cry a little… I like [...]

My New Lifestyle

{image} Well I can tell you now, it still involves chocolate… just not the mass amounts it did before. It’s still hard to make good choices as I still see food as reward and comfort. It’s going to take a long time to fix that but I’m hopeful. I already eat balanced meals and heaps [...]

Body Combat

I’m not one to make resolutions. I always seem to disappoint myself if I do. I simply lack the necessary motivation. This feels different. This feels like change. I can hear it in my voice when I talk about how I feel about myself, the way I absentmindedly pull my shirt down over my bum, [...]

Spish, Splosh

I’m getting tired of my own excuses about not going for walks. I get out of the house five out of seven days and usually for about an hour but it’s not good enough. I’m kicking my saggy butt into gear. Even contemplating one of these. My goal is small… get out everyday. I’m not [...]

Mumma & Bubba

Ok… so I got lazy on the weekend, didn’t brush my hair and wore my nightie all day and didn’t particularly feel like posing for photos. C’mon, it was the weekend after all. Today I thought I’d wash and straighten my hair, put a bright happy top on and even a necklace… look out world! [...]
