So a while ago I was searching for some good energy drinks, I admit to being a fan of them – they really help when you know you are going to have an intense workout, or after having had one when all you want to do is crash…but you can’t because you have important things [...]

So, yay. Last night was weigh in day after ‘step it up week’ and I was thrilled to see I had gone from 12.6 to 12.4, a 2lb loss in one week is huge for me. All I did was make sure I was logging everything, every morsel that entered my mouth was counted…and I [...]

Much better today. Calories consumed – 1260 Calories burned – 340 Daily Deficit – 980 Working out was hard today though, I was just having one of those days where no matter how hard I wanted to push myself and how determined I was, my body wouldn’t play ball…my legs just wouldn’t move fast enough. [...]

Unfortunately because of my job I have to spend a good portion of my day sat behind a desk, this isn’t great for someone who is trying to lose weight, but it certainly makes me appreciate high quality ergonomic office furniture, especially my nice big super comfortable chair that I know isn’t going to give [...]

Day one of ‘Step it up’ week went well, I did 55 minutes on the elliptical and burned 505 calories…according to the read out on it (who knows how accurate that is?), it certainly helped that I was watching the finale of The Biggest Loser USA while I was doing it – thrilled to see [...]

My other half and I are planning on going on holiday for our 5 year anniversary at the start of June, we have no idea where to go though. Since we have been together we have always been to the same place, but decided on a change this year – since it’s a special one [...]

Today is day 1 of what I have dubbed…’Step it up’ week. It basically is just that, for the next week I am really going to step it up and stick to my calories strictly, and work out hardcore on my elliptical – I am aiming for a 1000 calories a day deficit. If at [...]

So weekly weigh in last night and…I gained 2lb…boo hiissss spitttt. Honestly I wasn’t expecting to lose, since I had my mother of all migraines migraine, I have only worked out 4 times in the last two weeks and only giving 90% to my diet – but I wasn’t expecting a gain. Here’s to hoping [...]

I am a huge Reality TV Fan, as you may have worked out from the fact I have spoken about The Biggest Loser several times. My all time favourite is Survivor without question, always has been and probably always will be – but I also love The Amazing Race, Big Brother and even The Mole. [...]

One of the numerous important items to have when you are trying to lose weight is some really good digital scales, I worked this out myself when I was using some super cheap ones up until about 3 months ago. They were an absolute nightmare, always throwing the word ‘ERR’ at me and being far [...]
