Charlotte is trying to kill me! Just kidding. This month her supercool new fitness experiment is the Action Hero Workout, and as she kindly invited all of us to jump on board I happily opted to join in the ranks. Because clearly doing boot camp three times a week isn't…
Firstly, to all of you bloggers (especially Workout Mommy, MizFit, Scrumpy's Baker, and Jay), thank you so much for the many posts that you've been writing recently which have encouraged/guilted me into going out and exercising. I'm not sure if I would've dragged myself out the door to go for…
If you ever need a really good wake-up in the morning, one of the fastest ways to do so is to park your car on a busy street between the no-parking hours in the morning. As I discovered today at 7:45am. Last night I wasn't sleeping at home, so this…
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love! (with boot camp). Today I was a minute or two late to my boot camp and the others had already started the warm-up jog. As I lugged my 8-lbs weights, yoga mat and water bottle across the field, I half expected…

Tuesday's bellydancing class introduced us to the technique of isolating your upper chest. I wasn't even aware that I had a muscle right at my sternum! But it was great to discover a new muscle there and start to exercise it. As we were spinning and shaking and tip-toeing about,…
The past couple days, for some reason my left knee was starting to bother me. It was feeling rather sore and was just irritating me to no end. After complaining about it to the mother dear yesterday, she sat me down, brought out her infra-red laser, and performed laser acupuncture on…
Yesterday my friend unfortunately canceled on me (we're going for lunch tomorrow instead), so I made myself some healthy French toast for dinner. It was the first time I'd ever made French toast by myself and I was quite pleased with the result (in the past, my attempts have been…
I would like to take this moment to say I'm done exams! Second year of university is over for me! Hurrah! and dance ecstatically. (Okay, I'm finished now. Carry on reading). The other day I made peanut butter oatmeal cookies from iVillage for the second time and was once again astonished…
