Losing Inches but GAINING weight
Hey, everyone. First off, let me clarify - I know that muscle weighs more than fat. I know that as I gain strength, I will see changes, and my metabolism will increase.. I'm just feeling a bit frustrated. When I embarked on this last (and final - it's going to WORK this time) attempt at changing my lifestyle, I swore that…

30 Day Shred - Reboot
Hey, everyone I'm re-starting the 30 Day Shred. I've tried it previously, and got about 2 weeks into it before I allowed myself to get totally de-railed.

Hemp seeds are my favoured way of getting my Omega 3, 6 & 9 oils, since they hold an…

Damn Tummy!
Today I am struggling with some self confidence issues. I've been seeing some really good results from all of my efforts lately, but I am feeling really down about the fact that my stomach seems to be going nowhere.

Hot Yoga
Has anyone tried hot yoga before? I've taken a couple of classes, and am intending to go back, but I'd love to hear about other people's experiences with it. Yoga is amazing for body and soul, so I am very much looking forward to taking care of myself holistically, rather than just physically. I am looking to lose weight…
