Just kidding, they totally do! A Christmas or two ago a colleague was doing the rounds of the office with a plate of cakes and slices and stopped by my desk to offer me some. When I politely declined, she looked at me and sneered, “That’s right, your body’s a temple.”…

Frock friends, I achieved one of my big scary goals for 2015 recently. I completed the 100km Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle Challenge, along with almost 6,500 other mad keen cycling folk. In the days and weeks since, I’ve answered many questions and the words amazing and inspiring have been…

I love this navy and white print frock from Leona Edmiston. It was an easy sell; my favourite colour when it comes to clothing is navy, the lily print is pleasing and the cut was perfect, draping in all the right places. Well it did when I first bought it….

Slim pasta has made working on my weight loss over a long period of time that bit easier. When I first looked online to find out more, people hated or loved it. I love it. It’s a great addition to the dieter’s arsenal, but there things you need to know…

Well… I didn’t, of course. And yet I did. All by changing my frock. With 93 frocks I think we can agree that I’m offering quite a scientific perspective on the phenomena of ridiculous clothes sizing. Having gone through several clothing sizes as I’ve lost weight, I’ve found that the number is…

So… about that time I was on the television. Mornings on Channel 9, specifically. It was a whirlwind morning and one of those times where you think goodness, did that just happen? An early start from Brisbane meant getting up at 3:30am for a 5:00am flight, and from there on…

I purchased frock #5 when I returned from London and arrived into the heat of Brisbane summer, when very little of what I owned fit me, and what did, wasn’t suited to the weather. This size 20 Leona Edmiston dress was brilliant, as all of her dresses are. When I…

It was with a a few nerves that I got out of bed this morning and went down to the local newsagent to buy a copy of the magazine to see how it all looked in print. I had literally gotten into the car, stopping only to brush my teeth,…

My friends and family laugh, but this is one of the organisational hacks I use every week to make sure my excuses around exercise don’t get too much air time. Excuses like: “I didn’t have time to pack my gym bag.” “I’ve got no clean workout clothes.” (more…)
…that have nothing to do with fitness everything to do with being part of a healthy community. (more…)
Bliss balls, protein balls, power balls – whatever you call them, those yummy balls of goodness are popping up in cafes everywhere and I couldn’t be more pleased. (more…)
My sister has been hassling me to get my display of excess frock show on the road, so to begin the frock fest I’ve chosen one of my favourites. I wore this Boden tunic dress a lot when I was at my biggest (and even then, it was pretty tight…

If had to tell my weight loss secret (there isn’t one, hello!), I’d call meatloaf. There’s nothing sexy about it. It’s more C.W.A. than O.C. But it’s one of the things I eat most. It also makes being on a diet feel a little less like being on a diet. …

I am often asked how I got started with my healthy living project. It was some months after it happened before I actually told anyone quite how. I guess I was a little embarrassed. It was 16 March, the day before St Patrick’s day, when I went over to Melinda’s…
