You might want to grab some food and a drink before you dive into this post. I need a distraction today, so I figured I’d seize the moment and tell you about what’s been going on over here in the UK ‘branch’ of Healthy Macdonalds. It’s amazing how quickly things change, meaning a simple update [...]

Day 1 happened by yesterday almost without me. I have been living a healthy lifestyle for so long that it is second nature. That’s not to say I am always succesful but I am ALWAYS finding ways to be better at it. I think what is easier for me is to find my way back [...]

sweets at the checkout

Eating is a given. You cannot live without food but you can live without junk. Try going to do a grocery shop whilst you are hungry. By the time you get to the checkout you are salivating because of  all the goodies you’ve seen and now you are faced with the handiwork of those clever [...]

Is FAST FOOD the problem?

FAT KID AT MCDONALDS

I was thinking about this question this morning and upon reflection, to say that fast food joints are responsible for the way we look is not only a cop out but probably irresponsible as well. I mean it’s no good complaining that all junk food does is make us fat and is the cause of [...]

LITTLE GUY WITH DAD

I took this in my gym last week. Dad is a long term lifter and careful about what he eats, thats obvious. He is also a responsible parent who is clearly concerned about the health and fitness of his children and is instilling a healthy lifestyle in this little one from the get go. I [...]

so …. who won the challenge?

May 16th, 2011 - 9:13 am

In a word…SARAH….. well done girl you are amazing. We didn’t quite get to the end as planned because Sarah came home to South Africa before the final date but it was close enough to the end to know that she beat me fair and square. The interesting thing though was the fact that we [...]

I’m in a strange sort of mood today *grin* I’m feeling rather petulant and I’m sure it’s in preparation for watching two important games of back to back rugby in a minute! So my petulant side is IMPATIENT! Petulant me: “I want to see bigger changes and want to see them NOW! I’m bored of [...]

Ok, so now I’m losing a little LM and I guess I expected that eventually since I’m cutting quite redically. My goal is 7% so I’ll continue until I get there and we’ll see what my lean mass is when I get there. Since I’m not competing I’m not too comcerned. I’ll just keep going [...]
