Gold stars and elephant stamps

November 30, 2011

I may have mentioned once or twice (or a gazillion times) how much I love my gym’s Zumba classes.

It’s my party…. (and I’ll skive off if I want to)

November 29, 2011

Everyone (in the Universe – because they ALL read my blog) knows by now that this round of my weight loss program has been a bit of a fizzer for me. After losing almost 20kg (over 40lbs) in the first twelve week round I had intended to lose at least half of that in this [...]

Turkeys and stuff

November 24, 2011

One of my favourite non-dieting/weight-loss bloggers is Aussie author, Anita Heiss. Although I’ve never met her, there are a lot of things I admire about her and the way she engages with the world. I follow her on Twitter and she rarely (never?) posts whinging tweets about how crap her day has been, or how fellow [...]
