I thought I would've needed a cheat day so I can get in a bowl of pasta. Turns out I don't really need to it. Granted, this is the end of the first week of calorie counting. Not once during the last 7 days have I felt deprived or wanting. Currently I'm on a 1430 calorie plan, and I typically eat (and always have been) 2…

Oh man spring onions is a huge one over here in Australia! I grew up calling them shallots. Supermarkets label them as spring onions, so I typically call them spring onions now, but throw in shallots every now and then. Before I found out what an actual shallot looked like, I was using spring onions in the recipes. No…

I'm willing to give this a try. It will be challenging as October through to the end of November are the times I need to buckle down and study hard for my university final exams, but they always say that exercise helps you study.

Rediscovered it last week and ready to put in the effort :) Going to buy some handweight tomorrow, and I might get a headstart and start this weekend. I plan to do 4 days then 1 rest day, then go another 4 days then 1 rest day etc instead of going…

These are not my recipes, but I've been using recipes from this blog for years now and everything has always been really tasty! She also does a nutritional breakdown based on serving size for every recipe, and makes it SO much easier to enter in to the app :) There's a under 200 calorie per serving section on her blog as…

That chili recipe looks great! I'll just take out the turkey, and maybe sub with some extra beans or tofu to try and match the protein profile. I feel silly for forgetting you can put pumpkin in with chili! I've been basically having butternut squash on the side of all my dinners, because 200g of it I find is rather…
