12 week body transformation challenge

Great expectations

November 10, 2011

Twitterers around the world will know that I haven’t reported on the outcome of this week’s weigh-in. On my weight loss program we weigh-in on a Wednesday (and it is now Thursday here in Oz). I already confessed to a 2+kg gain the previous week (which actually covered a fortnight). Rather than frighten me into [...]

Where I’m at

October 13, 2011

I’m running late today. Post-work visits to my father, who’s now moved into Palliative Care and resultant sleepless nights have impacted on my pre / post-work blogging.

What happens on tour….

August 11, 2011

Or rather, not-so-fat ladies… cos it IS a weight loss program. (Sorry – didn’t mean to use the F word - [...]
