Back to kicking ass!

03
May
2010

So I finally hauled my lazy butt back to Muaythai, after about a year’s absence. Dragon Power has moved to the foreshore, bigger kwoon, little more swanky. Even the music has improved (and that’s saying a lot!). Some things were still the same though… the smell of Nature’s Kiss in the air, all the gorgeous sweaty men walking around in satin Muaythai shorts, wife beaters and ankle guards, the electrifying atmosphere and the noise of rope against canvas, gloves against … Read More »

And so it begins

I am going to suffer hugely this coming week… because, after about a year and half away from kicking ass, I am finally going back to Muaythai tomorrow. I’m very excited, have been wanting to go back for such a long time and am really looking forward to getting back into a proper regime! Now that I am 30 and all that, I think that it’s even more important to be active, fit and happy and finding something that you … Read More »

Keeping the balance

25
Apr
2010

I started off this year with just one goal in mind – I was going to do my utmost to cut down on stress, and live a happy and balanced life. Almost five months in, and I’m starting to notice an ever so teeny slip back into my bad habits. I can’t remember when I last went for a run, and while this cold kinda hit me with a vengeance, I can’t entirely blame it on that. Same story with … Read More »

Gym musings

Mar
2010

Today I would have liked to be anything free to roam outside in the fresh air, but I was a human stuck in front of my computer all day. Then I was a human half killing myself at the gym. Exhausting as it was today, it was still kinda awesome. A few things that occurred to me while I was slaving away… * There is nothing more annoying when some chick steals the stepper, when you down to the last … Read More »

Manic Monday

08
Mar
2010

I had a few cool ideas for a post tonight, but after a seriously mehish day followed by a hectique gym session, not to mention the heat, I’m all out of ideas. Please enjoy Ryan Reynolds though, think he adds a bit of sunshine on an otherwise brain-dead and rather manic day. Oh yes, I can however mention the following: * I’m volunteering for the Cape Town Twestival, really amped to get involved and think it’s going to be lots … Read More »

2010

I am addicted to these things, seriously. I don’t know what it is about wasabi, but the stronger it is and the more my eyes water and my sinuses burn, the more I love it. Crazy, but that’s wasabi for you. 5 Reasons I Heart Wasabi Peanuts… 1. Nothing wakes you up like a wasabi blast to the brain 2. The combination of sweet peanut and strong wasabi is a winner 3. These babies have all but cured me of … Read More »

Instant Happiness

Instant gratification isn’t always a good thing, but when you need a quick boost, nothing beats instant zen boosters that immediately lift your spirits and make you smile. These don’t have to cost a lot, or take much longer than a minute or two, but adding as many of these little boosts to your day can have tremendous results. Here are some of my favourite zen ‘quick fixes’ and why they rock… 1. Room and/or pillow mist – spray it … Read More »

2010

It’s been a great day today, not least because this marks a full week of sleeping well! What a difference a decent sleep makes, and also what a difference this diet is starting to make… I’m feeling happier, more energetic and just peachy – it’s awesome. After a good run yesterday evening and an even better one today after work, I am also SO glad to be out pounding pavement again. To be free of this back pain is amazing, … Read More »

Fabulously Frivolous Friday

22
Jan
2010

Owning it! I am now beyond poor, lord knows how I will manage to eat this next week or so until payday, but the good news is that I have a fab new haircut. Far more important than food, and besides, on this diet I hardly need much anyway! This week has been quite strange, but mostly rather good. My intentions for Kelp revival tonight have been thwarted by family obligations sadly, but next Friday is the end of the … Read More »

Dietzillas…

Jan
2010

Well it’s almost half-way into the month, and slowly my diet is starting to come right. With all the stress, deadlines and pure laziness of the past month or two I was slipping back into bad habits, not exercising much at all and was just starting to feel less than good. I began to be more careful about what I ate towards the end of December but then it was Christmas and the holidays, which was of course not the … Read More »
