Losing Weight (Burning Fat) – Week 3
Unfortunately another disrupted week in regards to outdoor exercising and my much needed bike riding. More rain and then my young son had a fall at the local shopping centre hurting his arm, which resulted in a mad dash to the emergency or casualty section of the local private hospital. Turned out he may have broken his wrist, so the doctor put a small... more
My must have exercise and fat burning equipment #3
My next must have piece of equipment in my quest to lose weight (fat) is a quality Body fat Monitor.

Okay, as promised I am going to go through my personal list of must have equipment for optimum weight loss (fat loss). The first item of must have equipment for me is a good bicycle (not an exercise bike), but a real bicycle for cycling outdoors. While I know that walking is one of the best exercises that you can do, it just doesn’t do it for... more

The Challenge Begins
Well, my new challenge begins today! The kids are back to school and I am now able to get my life back into some sort of regular routine again – including diet and exercise. The school holidays, including Christmas and New Year have not been kind to my now advancing middle aged body and I am now at my heaviest weight ever – and feeling it.... more
