  • I feel you all. The school year is about to start for us here in NZ and I'm determined not to fall into the bad habits I had last year - eating biscuits at morning tea in the staffroom, stopping at the supermarket after work and buying a carb-loaded dinner because I'd feel too exhausted to do anything once I got home,…

  • I put celery leaves into my salads (as well as a giant handful of coriander/cilantro and mint leaves). I love the taste they bring and extra fibre is always good! I never peel carrots and rarely, if ever, peel potatoes and kumara/sweet potatoes. Even when they're being mashed I prefer the taste of them with the skin.

  • I generally take a thermos of soup (about 400ml) in every day, from a huge batch I make every Sunday. This week's soup is Spring Vegetable Miso soup (with asparagus, peas, chinese cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms) for only 78 calories a serving. Then I have 15 almonds, about 3 prunes, carrot/cucumber sticks, a banana and…

  • Yes there is a fear there, but I am making this a lifestyle change, not a diet. I am changing the way I think about food for life, and creating life-long habits of eating healthy and enjoying exercise (which I have never enjoyed before).

  • I've got my jogging/powerwalk playlist that I listen to constantly...but I find the song that pushes me the most towards the end is 'Survival' by Muse (it was the official Olympics theme song this year)

  • I have a cheat meal but not a cheat day. Just one meal a week where I let myself have whatever I want, but I still don't let myself binge out. It's working so far, since I don't feel deprived of anything. I can save it for when I go out with friends, or if I just want a treat.
    in Cheat days= good or bad?? Comment by Cytrix February 2013
  • 1. You're not eating enough. Your body is starving so clinging onto whatever it can 2. You're eating chips and McDonalds and hot dogs and barely ANY vegetables or fruit. 3. You are doing all this exercise on not enough calories. That's like trying to run a car with no petrol. Want to say they're either trolling or need…
