Food rewards and “robust buttocks”

From Lisa Bullock What have cats, dogs, rain, love and fat loss to do with each other? And no, it’s not raining cats and dogs – that was just a sample of my female rambling thought processes this morning.  As a woman you’ll understand that one of our major strengths is multi-tasking and being able … Continued

The Devil on your Shoulder

Guest Post by Lisa Bullock “God, I’m fat and I feel disgusting!”   Hmm, ever had words to that effect come out of your mouth? Most of us have heard the saying “Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you’re right”.  Words are a self-fulfilling prophecy, so be careful of what you … Continued

“Selfish” or “Sensible”?

Excuse me for one moment, I’m just colour coding my underwear drawer – be right with you!  Oh, sorry about that – just checking that my world is organised, controlled, the T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted.    Um, just diverting to sort the cutlery drawer.  All good!  Not that I have control issues … Continued

Can I have the “Rocky” theme song please!

  I LOVE my boxing!   It’s probably about 14 years since I first put on my boxing gloves.  Not Taibo.  Not Boxercise.  Not girls in a room wearing pretty pink gloves doing circuits.  Boxing.  Punching people and being punched.   To many people, and especially women, it’s a “not quite nice sport” – something that … Continued

Confessions of an Ex Diet Queen

Trainer Lisa is at it again…she has an entertaining post about her ‘mis-adventures’ with dieting. If you’re a ‘seasoned’ dieter that’s tried every diet under the sun, you’ll relate and laugh at her experience. It’s great that she’s finally found a nutrition solution (you can find it here). Take a look at Lisa’s story. I’ll … Continued

Beware the Yellow T-shirt!!

Guest post by Lisa Bullock I’m competitive.  Super competitive in fact – get out of my way if you’re in front of me, if you’re wearing yellow, if you’re younger than me, and especially if you’re on your phone when you should be working out! Not all of us are competitive and in fact, you … Continued

In Honor of My Mom

I’m very private regarding my personal life, but I need to share something with you today. My Mom died yesterday afternoon. My mom was a champion, this last week especially. She’d want me to continue to share my message of health with you. She was a lovely lady that suffered through ten days of hell … Continued

My Life as a Yo-Yo

Guest Post by Lisa Bullock “I don’t think you have a single muscle in your body!” my naturopath laughingly told me. Well ha-de-haha.  What a comedian!  What a ripper joke to share with me while I’m lying there practically naked and unable to leap up (with dignity) and take my vengeance!  That was 20 years … Continued

Finding Fitness Religion

 Guest Post by Lisa Bullock “I LOVE being 48!” I exclaimed the other day.  And once I had recovered from the shock of hearing myself actually express such a sentiment, my conscious mind took over and followed it up with a “Hallelujah!!! “.  Why, you ask?  I had been chatting to a friend about a … Continued

What Do YOU Think? I Need YOUR Opinion

I’d have to say that my feelings were hurt by what an ‘ex’ wrote me. I say ‘ex’ because she’s now an ‘ex-reader’.  I can only guess that this person probably has some of her own issues unrelated to me, but it still is a little disheartening.   *Read from the bottom up on the … Continued
