Dear Dallas and Melissa, About that book you wrote? Yeah. It Starts With Food. That one. I loved it. Really. I wanted to write a review, but you know, everyone has already done that and all the smart kids already have the book. Also, I’m not very influential! So really, I wanted to tell you [...]

Last year, I started to question Crossfit metcons for my particular situation. I began to feel like they were not helping me – mostly because I was stressing out and feeling emotionally wrecked afterwards. Also, I knew I had issues with stress management and stubborn belly fat – and really, with the amount of weight [...]

Oh, how nice it is to be back. Back on the blog, back on the #Whole30, back to my old self – you get the idea. It has been about 4 months since I ended my marriage, and 3 months since I moved out of the shared house. In that time, much has changed. (No [...]

I had myself a little wake up call today and I suspect a few of you will be able to relate. I realised that my words were not matching up with my actions. For once, this is totally unrelated to the size of my arse – but I have certainly been guilty of this in [...]

Ok, so I have shared my opinion of the cruise as a venue for a health/nutrition conference. I really hope it didn’t seem like I didn’t have a good time overall – I did, and it was mostly due to the delightful people I spent time with and the engaging speakers from the Low Carb [...]

Again, these are my emails home from the Low Carb Cruise. I will actually write some stuff in the next post. Note that I have nothing to say on the Jack Kruse incident, mostly because on the boat, I was in a blissful bubble of ignorance and enough has been said on the matter. Frankly, [...]

Part one of my trip (30 April – 5 May) was a visit to Washington DC. This is only the crappy emails I sent home, because I’m lazy. These emails were intended for workmates and family, so obviously they didn’t include all the juicy stuff. I might share that here later down the track. Hooray [...]

Hey, I’m back! I tweeted these at the time, but thought I’d put them all together here on the blog. The first video was taken on my first morning in DC, the second video towards the end of the DC trip and the final video on the last night of the cruise. Honestly, what strikes [...]

In a few short days, I am escaping my life for a few weeks to head to the US. This trip has been in the planning for about a year and with everything that has happened over the past few months – it couldn’t have come at a better time. This trip was initially planned [...]
