Rosie – It all adds up

September 27, 2011

So despite my oh-so-triumphant blog a week or so ago about how I had LOST a pound over the summer, I now have to comment on a rather depressing backwards trend. For those of you who don’t know, I am still personal training but also trying to avoid childcare costs (topical…!). So, to try and [...]

September 23, 2011

Everyone wants to look bare faced chic.  When you see stars looking good without make up  they always have some on. It’s just a seriously good cheat to look fresh faced but be wearing make up.  Here’s how it goes. Primer.  This is an awesome invention but you have to get the right one.  When [...]

Zar – Recipe – Great balls of chicken!

September 17, 2011

I make meatballs about once a year, mainly because I find all the rolling of them so annoying. They are so worth it though. I wanted some healthier “weektime” meatballs, so I came up with these chicken ones. OK so they’re not beef/pork/lamb but they taste really good and they give the same feeling of [...]

Georgie – The idea of H.I.T.

September 15, 2011

Pleased to announce that I have finally got myself back into the swing of things gym-wise.  It’s taken getting the football season underway and moving house out of the way to do it – but when I put on a pair of leggings the other day and I could see cellulite through them I knew [...]

Rosie – Busy as a bee

September 9, 2011

It can’t just be me. Chasing my tail I mean. I start one thing, half do another and finish a third. I never seem to stop but never seem to get ANYTHING done. Same with the exercise. I go for a run – yes, good. But “oh no, I’ll finish my weights later”. This is [...]

Zar – To gain or not to gain

September 7, 2011

When I find myself gaining weight and my trousers are a little too tight, it’s usually because I’ve not been on top of my diet and exercise and I’ve slipped back into old habits. Usually we do things without even thinking; when asked to keep track of everything they eat for the first time, people [...]

Georgie – Weird and wonderful calorie burns

September 6, 2011

Moving house is the new gym!  I have spent the last week lugging boxes, bags and suitcases down five flights of stairs to the car, and back out at the other end to my new flat and have decided that moving house = absolutely no need for a gym whatsoever! According to www.caloriecount.com I burned [...]
