Another great weekend of paddling at Sentosa for me! I arrived to my Outrigger training on Sunday hoping for an easier session as I was feeling a little…. well let’s just say ‘fragile’ – but that hope was soon squashed when I found out we’d be taking the OC1’s out. I was a little […]

The Biggest Loser Asia: Episode (no idea)
Caught the latest BLA episode last night….. in my opinion they just don’t get it. Sigh. The blue team needed to win the weigh-in – so their trainer made them exercise for 8 hours each day…. a week later they all get on the scale and are devastated that they’ve all only lost 2kg each. […]

Most die-hard dieters think ‘healthy’ and ‘pizza’ are about as compatible as oil and water! It’s true that the average slice of pizza contains approximately 300 calories (yes….

Plan ahead – Don’t get caught without a healthy snack
When you’re trying to manage your weight or stay healthy it’s accepted that we plan ahead for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner – but alot of people get caught out when they don’t plan a healthy snack or take ‘just incase’ snacks with them on an outing. For me – it’s shopping. I always end up […]
