Hubby’s turned into this gym freak (his words, not mine) all of a sudden, and our conversations have taken a whole new twist. Thanks to this new carb-less diet he’s on in an effort to look like Will Smith, I have become – for the first time ever – the unhealthier of us two.

I did it. My first ever 10km run. And I didn’t even train for it (even though I said I would. The intentions were there. Well, they were six months ago.)
I didn’t keel over, I didn’t embarrass myself and I finished in 1 hour 25 minutes. I reckon I could have gone faster [...]
My first official run since I was ten years old saw me lugging my inactive bum along 6.5km of very hilly road, over 3km of which comprised a steady (and seemingly endless) uphill slog. I am now 26 years old, so that’s how long it’s been since I last tried to look cool with a [...]

The weather held up – it was perfect actually, I was relieved to find that [...]
Note to self: When the nurse says do not rinse your mouth too often because it will cause the wound to bleed, what she really means is do not rinse your mouth at all.
It’s done. After just an hour in the dentist’s chair and three hours of feeling as if my right cheek was the size of a papaya, I am pleased to announce that my last, pesky wisom tooth is forever gone, and I am beginning to regain some normalcy. Well, except for the nagging suspicion [...]
It did dawn on me sometime on Friday night that I might have neglected to properly explain what Jazzercise is (okay, so I didn’t explain it at all), and just when I’d forgotten again (on Sunday), thanks Dave for reminding me.
The way I explain it when people ask me is this: It’s a cardio [...]
