I havent checked in for a while - it's been a tough couple of weeks. I've had to deal with a few family things, including my grandmother going to hospital for open heart surgery, which has really thrown me about. I have still been logging my food, regardless of whether I meet my target for the day. Accountability is key I…

Had to share, totally stoked-my best 5km run this year!! I hadn't been able to break 30mins so far this year and today, BAM 28:57!!!! So excited!!! Had a rest day yesterday because I was just so tired. Today I feel awesome, especially after this mornings parkrun. I've been to the markets, gotten all my fruit and veg and am…

Well done Candi on getting up early :) And to everyone else out there that has been too!!! I was up at 4:30am yesterday, left home by 5am to start my run at 5:30am - I find it easier to run on base because I feel safe and not rushed. I then shower at work and eat breakfast at my desk while I clear through my emails and…

It's check in day, but I haven't gotten out of bed yet. Feeling exceptionally seedy from yesterday's shenanigans. Was a. Lot of fun, I didn't over eat but made exceptionally poor choices with my food, along with drinking copious amounts of alcohol. Lucky there's only one Australia Day each year! Do I feel guilty and…

Candi sorry to hear your sisters news. We just found out my cousin, who had been trying to fall pregnant through IVF miscarried at 14 weeks. Hope you all pull through together. My Friday ended up being quite binge-like. I love to bake and it's my therapy for when I'm feeling stressed or upset. Thing is, I'm usually quite…

Just discovered that www.subway.com.au has a part on it where you can add/remove the different things on your sub and get the nutritional content! Makes life heaps easier. I just happened to eat a footlong flat bread instead of only a six inch one - eek! But considering I'm goingto the gym again in 2 hours I probably need…

Random question and possible TMI but I have to ask anyway - how do you guys go when you've upped your protien intake and you're constantly gassy and, um, smelly? I've do eat things like hard-boiled eggs and a protien shake here and there. I eat a bit of fruit but don't go overboard on it I don't think (2-3 serves per day)…

We have those electric repellers and since then no snakes. There had only been one sighting of a python a few weeks before we got the repellers so it may be coincidence or they may work. We live on a quarter acre block that backs onto a nature reserve. The snake was on our back stairs. I have a MASSIVE phobia of snakes…

Day 2 I felt horribly guilty for not going to the gym after work last night like I promised. I got home around 12:30 am, had a quick snack and went to bed. Then slept straight through until 10:00 am so I must have needed it! at 13:30 I was at the gym doing my legs session that I was supposed to do last night. It was so…

You can watch it online....that's what I do sometimes, especially this week because I'm on late shift with work.....just a thought :)

Day 1 is almost over and I'm yet to go to the gym for my strength training session - I'm on late shift this week where I'll work from 3pm until about midnight Monday - Thursday, then Friday will be a normal half day finishing around midday. Today, according to the Jamie Eason Life Fit program I'm currently following is leg…

Brisbane/Ipswich area, 27yrs old, 164cm and currently about 63kg. I hit 58kg last year and was strong, fast and fit. I want to get back to that. Goals for this year are: - Half marathon in 2:15 or less - 2.4km PFT in 11:20 or less - Be able to do the arm hang! - Complete a full marathon - Complete a full Olympic Distance…

I take my rest day on a Sunday and some Saturdays if I've gone out/had a big night on Friday night (very rare). I take my rest days to extremes though - I don' t even log my food those days!

I find this really interesting, because every time I've done the class I come out dripping with sweat and I really feel it the next day. Especially during the squat tracks - I feel that gross sweat dripping from my elbow...and love it :P I'm 60kg and 164cm (132lb and 5'4"). I reckon this just proves that no workout is…

Thanks Darryl. I'm going to try someone elses computer first just to make sure it's not mine that's having issues then will email you if I'm still having dramas. Cheers

I found the book on iTunes and have downloaded it :)

I've gotten most of my stuff from Amart All Sports/Rebel Sports sales - mixture of Nike and Adidas shorts/tights and just any singlet/tshirt because I go through them a lot. If you're in the Brisbane area at all, there's an Amart All Sports at Browns Plains somewhere that always has MASSIVE sales on. I got my Adidas hoodie…

I'm an Aussie too and also use an online converter to make sure the calories recorded here in MFP are the same as what's on the packet. Also, if you're using an iPhone like I do, you can scan the item in when logging your food. Just a thought. Some of the items, like Red Bull for example, show several different options but…

I'm with you there! I lost 15kg (33lb) a few years ago while still eating dirty but within my calorie limits. I enjoy food, so for the most part I enjoy it in moderation. I don't believe in cutthing things completely out of your diet because then you start to crave it. I've seen a lot of people eating clean all the time…

Does anyone know if this book is available as an ebook on itunes or something? I get confused with the right cardio/weights mix/order. I like to do both cardio and weights in the same session but don't know the best way to mix it up and everything I've found is of a mixed opinion - cardio before or after weights?

Early Days with my parents: Redcliffe (born) Deception Bay Morningside Tingalpa Scarborough Stanthorpe Caboolture Hervey Bay Became an 'adult': Hervey Bay ---moved to Wagga Wagga in NSW for a while, not by choice!--- Forest Lake Now just bought our first house in Bellbird Park :) And play AFL for Logan - go the Cobras!

Think my name says it all :) My pic is of me on the field in 2011 when they let us all go on the field for Locky's last home game :D Can't stand Melbourne! Even though they ARE full of Queenslanders, still can't stand them!

I've kept up with my physio and slowly gotten back to the same exercises I was doing, as well as pilates sessions from my ipad app 2-3 times a week. It's helped a great deal! I still feel tightness in my hip and haven't gotten up to the exact weight I was squatting before, but it's helped and I'm getting closer.

My husband won't work out with me....in fact he doesn't work out at all. He's not hugely overweight or completely unfit (we have to do a physical training test every year in the RAAF and he passes his 2.4km run, arm hang and sit ups with ease and with no real training). I'd love to train with him! We used to carpool to…

I agree that in the absence of a medical condition, the parents/whoever has brought the child up is to blame. The habits of caregivers is observed and mimicked by their children - not just with food but with activity as well. My parents eat anything and everything, but in moderation and this is what they passed onto my 3…

Maybe try having some hard boiled eggs in the fridge ready to go. They keep for a few days if you refrigerate them immediately after boiling and don't shell them until you're ready to eat them.

To those saying places like Pizza Hut and Dominos are all bad, you're wrong. Well, at least in Australia you're wrong. Like ALL foods, it's about making the right CHOICES and STOPPING when you've eaten a normal servings worth of food. These two chains I've mentioned both offer 'light' or 'fat free' alternatives.…

BOTH!! Depending on what group fitness classes are on offer at the gym. I love doing pilates in the evening because it makes me sleep a lot better :)

Since starting to exercise properly again after an injury, I'm STARVING all the bloody time! Granted I ate dessert twice yesterday (was a crappy day overall and dessert really did help (so did boxing)). I was on 1200 net but recently upped it to 1400 net because of how hungry I'm getting! I've been struggling with this for…
