"Ultimate Food Rules"
Eat food. This seems like the most simple of the three dot points, yet in my opinion it is the most complex. Today we have supermarkets that are at least 10 aisles wide, filled with products that we identify as food. Yet are they really? Pollan calls any food or processed product designed in a laboratory, as “foodlike…

Cheat/Free Day - Yes and No.
Q&A with Jillian Michaels. For anyone still battling with the idea. Q: What is your opinion on "cheat days"? My friend's trainer says it's okay to have one cheat day during the week (as long as you remain on track the rest of the time). But I've been struggling with my weight for years now, and I'm wondering if it's…

T2 (Tea Too) Nutritional Information - Various Teas

Clearly my max heart…

Yay for BRAS
I went to my local Triumph store to scope out some cool new sports bras. While I was there I got the lady to check the sizing of the bras I bought quite recently (before weight loss though) to check that they aren't too big. YAY, they're not too big, just gone from the bigger end of the size to the smaller end. She said if…

I will get used…

Why don't people eat their exercise calories?
The whole aim of having a goal calorie limit and earning calories, is that you eat them? I don't understand, and I know that I'm not perfect at eating all of mine, but some days I go over, so it kind of balances out. If I'm exercising, I need to put more fuel in my body, don't other people?

NSV on my bike :)
Today when I was riding to swimming, I noticed that my legs look better, then I realized that I went up a hill in a much higher gear and with less effort than last time I rode there, which was last swimming season, so march this year. Felt good :) Also decided my pants are officially too big and will donate them. :D
