I have a confession – I love caffeine. One coffee, becomes two, then three or four. One tea bag becomes three in a cup. Those who know me well, are well aware of my daily caffeine rituals. But recently, my body started acting strangely. I wasn’t sleeping as well, I had low energy levels, my appetite changed – and something just wasn’t right. I began doing an inventory and realized that although I was eating “healthy” there were little things creeping in that over a period … [Read More...]
The “Nice Ass” Workout
If you’re offended by the word “ass” I apologize but here’s the story…. Last Saturday I was running along Brighton Beach, South Australia when a car slowed down.

Keeping It Real (with before & after photos)
Yesterday I received an email from a self confessed “before and after” photo junkie. She told me “I spend hours on the internet looking for before and after transformation photos”!

Most women I know want to lose weight! And they're willing to exercise BUT they don't want to gain "too much muscle" - especially in their lower body.
