ROSIE – Winter Comfort

November 30, 2010

Particularly relevant with the amount of snow we have in the UK! Apologies to our Aussie counterparts… With the nights drawing in and sunny Sundays a distant memory, it’s so tempting to hunker down and hibernate. I think we can safely say winter is well and truly underway now, in fact I can’t remember when [...]

ZAR – Brain Food

November 29, 2010

I find the newspapers pretty boring; I tend to get my news from the radio in the car or at work.   What I do really like is the sections of the newspaper which focus on lifestyle, people, food etc.    It’s great for the brief chats I have with the ZarBar patrons as well as for [...]

GEORGIE – Family Blessings

November 25, 2010

Dear All – it’s been one hell of a week for the Bingham family. For those of you not in the loop, poor Zar fainted in the shower on Monday and fractured 3 bones in her neck and back. She has been incredibly brave and also lucky not to have done herself permanent damage – [...]

ROSIE – Improvised training part II

November 23, 2010

So, following on from a couple of blogs ago about improvising training and those excuses not to get to the gym! Sometimes, when I’m finding it hard to get out of the house and an exercise DVD just won’t cut it, I have had some of my best, calorie burning workouts ever using a couple [...]

GEORGIE – Balance it out – even when you pig out!!

November 21, 2010

Picture this last week – Friday, tired, and at the end of quite a long week, i stuffed my face a little bit… no – I lie, quite a lot. I was also pre menstrual and always allow myself what I term a ‘pig day’ on these occasions or I am grumpy as hell… So, [...]

ROSIE – Furious Bingham Girl!!

November 19, 2010

Oh, I’m an angry girl today. Why does the media do it? (Sorry G). They print and publicise so irresponsibly that it makes me FULL OF RAGE. Take the article on Yahoo “health” today.

Ooooh, I’m really excited about this one. I’m serving this at ZarBar this week with some adjustments but will be having it for my dinner on Tuesday. This would be a good one to make ahead of time and have for lunch at work and add different protein each day – tuna, chicken, turkey etc. [...]

GEORGIE – Obesity – just excuses?

November 17, 2010

I am sure that it isn’t correct to laugh at this headline “Fat People ‘are better at sniffing out food’” but oh how I chuckled when I read this in today’s Daily Mail. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1329811/Fat-people-better-sniffing-food.html It’s actually quite an interesting article – fatter people have a better sense of smell. Their sense of smell also improves [...]
