Food for Thought: the good, the bad & the ugly
I’ve always held the belief that no food is bad for you. You can have chocolate. It’s ok to order chips. Enjoy the slice of cake. Bite into the juicy burger. Quench your thirst with a beer. Just don’t have it all at once. Quantity is key. You can have too much even of a… Read More
No Sugar Challenge – Halfway There
It’s been 27 days since my last taste of chocolate and sweet stuff. No jam, no cookies, no cakes or chocolates, no honey in my tea, no dried fruit or sugar laden sauces. I’ve abstained and I’m still here. Sane and eager to continue. Yes, there have been days where I’ve crave several Guylian Seashells… Read More
Happy Australia Day!
What it means to me to be an Australian? It’s wearing flip flops (thongs) with everything, barbecues with mates, going for a run on the beach, smiling at strangers, socialising with multicultural friends, slip, slop, slap all year long, eating Vegemite on toast, leisurely Saturday morning breakfast at your favourite cafe, watching the State of… Read More

Fortunately so far, there haven’t been any times where I’ve succumbed. Before the challenge my main limitation was chocolate.… Read More
Three Things Thursday
2013 Seriously, I’m still trying to comprehend that it’s a new year. 2012 went by so quickly. I don’t know whether it was because there was so much happening or whether someone up above has time on fast forward. Either way, I love the beginning of a new year. I love resolutions and setting goals… Read More
50 Day No Sugar Challenge
Sugar is bad ass. Studies show that it causes many diseases that are easily preventable by heaving a healthy diet. Unfortunately, sugar is in almost everything. The natural stuff you find in fruit is good. The processed stuff in packaged food is not. Sugar is linked to heart disease and obesity, depression and eczema, infertility… Read More
2012 Review
It’s that time of year again. All of December I was waiting in anticipation to put down all the things I want to achieve in 2013. While 2012 didn’t all work out as planned, it was a good year with a lot being accomplished nevertheless. I didn’t achieve all the goals on the list but… Read More
