So today...
I had a little victory. Two weeks ago when i started exercising again after a long break, i could only jog for TWO MINUTES yes two minutes without having to stop and walk. Like 2 mins jog, 2 mins walk, 2mins jog, etc. Today after 2 weeks of regular gym going I could manage 6 minutes at a stretch, ...does this mean... I am…

Menu plans
So I have realised that planning is SOO IMPORTANT, but, when I plan meals in advance there are just some days when i do not feel like eating what I planned. So instead of forcing myself to eat something I don't really want and feeling unsatisfied, I have taken to keeping a bit of surplus food in my fridge. Yes, some of it…

VLCC, curves, kaya skin clinic offering 'fat reduction'
Coming from the UK i was shocked at the false advertising of these companies promising to reduce inches and fat using machines, hot belts, vibration beds etc. Any loss is nothing but WATER WEIGHT and i can't believe some people are so unaware and happily so much pay for it! maybe their diet and workout plans are effective…

So i am planning 1 week sample meal…

body fat
what is a good body fat %? i got mine tested in boots and it said i was 28%. i was shocked as apparently under 20% is good for women! Just for the record, i am around 138lbs and 5'3.5. Most people guess I am around 130lbs as I have an hourglass figure so I am fairly well balanced. Apparently 29% means you are clinically…
