Aloha From Hawaii

As you may have noticed, if you are following me on Instagram, I have been in Hawaii recently. Didn’t bring my laptop, so no updates from the middle of nowhere. Came back last Sunday night, but this week has just been franticly busy (and absolutely amazing if I may say so myself) so here is a delayed Aloha from Hawaii. I though I should share some pictures with you in a couple of posts.

One Week Down ~ 21 Days To Break A Habit

Wohoo, well done on smashing your first week in No Sweets For Six Weeks. 7 days in (almost 8, since Monday is getting long already) into a 42 day challenge. You may have wondered why it is exactly six weeks we have embarked on. Well, there are many articles around claiming it takes 21 days to break a habit. 21 days where you need to consciously make decisions around a habit that you would like to…

Step Five ~ Stick To Your Guns

If you are unsure what that actually means, the definition for sticking to your guns is to refuse to change your ideas although other people try to make you change them (or in the military it means keep shooting at the enemy, but we won’t go that far!). You may have heard a few people telling you you are crazy for cutting the sweets for six weeks. Feedback I have seen on Facebook posts go along…

LCHF Kale Chips Recipe

Do you tend to overeat on chips and other salty savory treats? Then kale chips are definitely for you. Super crispy and super tasty, all at the same time. And guess what? They are even good for you. Kale has been branded a superfood for years now and it’s packed with nutrients. If you have never tried kale chips, I highly recommend you do, because although kale tastes very ‘green’ raw and in…

Step Four ~ Tell The World

If you are committing to changing your food or giving up some food item, I highly recommend you tell the world about it. Like Tammy did in the Facebook event No Sweets For Six Weeks. She announced that herself and her boyfriend are giving up sweet treats and alcohol for the duration of the challenge! If they fail they will be donating $100 each to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. And…

LCHF Antioxidant Smoothie Recipe

Smoothies are great for those quick meals like breakfast or afternoon tea, when you don’t have much time or you are just too hungry to think on your feet and just need something NOW. I love high fat smoothies in any colour, especially green, but today’s smoothie turned out to be beautifully deep purple. Which to me usually says high in antioxidants.

Antioxidants are one of the most popular…

Step Two ~ Identify Your Triggers

You’re on board with the No Sweets For Six Weeks challenge and you have already cleaned out all your sweet leftovers from the Silly Season. Now what?

Usually we tend to eat sweets/savouries or have a glass of wine at a certain time of the day or week. Many have a morning coffee with an apple and cinnamon muffin. Others have cheese and biscuits when they are cooking dinner. Others again have a…

The First Step ~ Get Rid Of All Your Leftovers

Did you get a fair bit of chocolate or candy for Christmas? Did you also supply with buying a little bit extra for yourself? How much of that have you got left in your pantry right now?

The first step of the No Sweets For Six Weeks challenge is to get rid of any temptations you have at home. Because you know what; if it’s there, you will eat it! You know what they say, out of sight… Chocolate is…

Challenge ~ No Sweets For Six Weeks

Who overindulged a little over the Silly Season, hands up? Yes, I figured there would be a few of you out there. Well, Silly Season has been and gone, so has New Years with all the promises and resolutions. Most of them actually gets broken within the first 1-2 weeks of January. Then it’s back to old habits again. So, why not start a challenge in the middle of January instead? Like the 12th?

I…

My First Full Marathon ~ The Review

Today it has been two weeks since I ran my first full marathon at the Melbourne Marathon 2014 event. So now I am ready to share my journey with you.

Can I just say, training for a full marathon is bloody time consuming. You can’t just duck out for a 3 hour run… It’s more like; “Honey, I am going for a run in the morning, so I am not going out tonight, and I won’t have a glass of wine and we need…

Day Trippin'

Day Trippin’

Went for a drive today. Spring is in the air and I looooove it. People are coming back out of their shells and are smiling again. It’s great. Makes me happy. I though I’d show you I actually own other clothes than training clothes too. Oh, and the fact that I love chocolate (but it needs to be really good quality to be worth it). Stopped by the Chocolate Mill ~ handmade Belgian chocolate……

Sunday Shop&Chop

Because most of us have a little extra time on our hands on Sundays (or some other day of the week you have off if you work weekends), Sunday is a perfect day to prepare for the week ahead. We have all heard the fact that “Failing to Plan Is Planning To Fail”. Therefore doing groceries, chopping up some vegies/meat and possibly even preparing a meal or two is a perfect way of being prepared. It…

Lazy Beauty Tips From A Naturally Lazy Beauty

I am naturally lazy, especially when it comes to hair and make up (and clothes, as long as they are comfy, I am not really that fussed… I wear tights 80% of the time). In the morning I usually throw some cold water in my face and brush my teeth. I avoid as much as possible putting any make up on, because that means I have to spend time cleaning my face later (or ending up sleeping with make up,…

Why Does Yoga Have To Be Done Upside Down All The Time?

Is it just me, or is 90% of all yoga inspiration pictures on blogs, Instagram, Facebook and every other social media imaginable some sort of a hand stand? On the beach, upside down. In the sunset, upside down. On the street, upside down. On a cliff, upside down. Oh, and in an actual yoga studio, upside down. You get the picture, right? Everywhere you see, there are some amazing, hot yogi doing a…
