October 27, 2011

I’ve blogged before about how eating a variety of colours of food each day can be a good way to know that you’re eating a diet that includes lots of different nutrients. The news on the street is that purple foods are the new “superfoods”. I say this tongue in cheek because I really believe [...]

Sorry, this is written in retrospect as I lapsed on my blogging duties for the last few days of boot camp! Friday night is the traditional final night of boot camp so we went bowling.  Great fun, a little odd without any alcohol but when no one drinks, it’s much of a muchness frankly. Plenty [...]

Georgie – Boot Camp – Day 4!

October 22, 2011

Post script to day 3 is that my massage worked absolute wonders!  I had a full body deep tissue special that took an hour and was not comfortable at times and despite leaving the room and heading to bed with a voice 3 octaves deeper and almost not enough coordination to make to my room, [...]

Georgie – Boot Camp – Day 1!

October 20, 2011

I missed the early morning run and arrived in time for the 3rd session of a very busy day.  1200 calories a day to eat – probably in excess of 3500 burned in the process. Seems very low indeed. 1600 would have done but let’s see how we go with the whole food-in, energy-out scenario. [...]

Important reminder

October 19, 2011

Just a really quick one from me this week but probably one of the most important. I really want to remind all of the girls out there of two important health checks that some of us are not good at having done or doing. I went to my wonderful doctor to have my pap test. [...]
