fun, accessible workouts for women
Well I don’t know about you guys, but I’m ready for this rain to stop. I quite enjoyed it over the weekend – it was a good excuse to stay indoors and relax – but now I’m it’s time for the sun to return! Just last week I was marking the winter solstice and celebrating the downhill slide to summer, but it seems someone is out there making a mockery of me. Or maybe just reminding me that I should leave weather forecasting to the experts.

Salmon is one of my favourite things to eat, which is kinda nice given it’s also a great source of protein, vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids. Unfortunately my enthusiasm for eating it doesn’t quite match my talent for cooking it, and my repertoire of salmon-based dishes consists of exactly one. Luckily I REALLY like this dish… and now you can fall in love with it too.

Cooking has become a little bit of a process for me these days. Every meal must now be photographed at different stages during preparation, then plated up and vetted for taste before I can consider whether it makes an appearance on the blog. Given that I am neither a talented photographer nor cook, you can imagine the number of rather average meals that I’ve been serving up lukewarm of late.

UPDATE: Since my original post, THR1VE has, well, thrived. With stores now in Sydney and Canberra plus 3-4 more due to open across the country in 2014, my prediction of world domination seems to be eerily correct. [Sidenote: I really should go into fortune telling]. The team is currently hard at work recipe testing (what a tough job) with a new menu launching early in the new year. If you haven’t been in to check them out yet, I suggesting getting on it, stat. Well, read my blog post first, then…. stat.
When you lead a busy lifestyle, good nutrition is often the first thing to suffer. The irony of this, of course, is that good nutrition is what sustains you when you feel like you’re being pulled in all directions. Now, I don’t profess to eating well all of the time (My name is Jess and I’m a sugar-addict) but I am making a concerted effort to eat better, more often. Enter THR1VE in Sydney CBD’s MLC Centre.

Although it wasn’t always this way, these days I like to think I eat relatively well. The more I’ve read recently though, the more I realise that while my diet doesn’t necessary involve a lot of what you might consider ‘unhealthy’ foods, I’m probably not really getting the nutrients I should be. I also have a bit of a (read: major) sugar addiction. So for these reasons I’ve decided to give my diet a bit of a shake up – nothing crazy mind you, because I see no point in setting myself up for failure. The aim is simple – less processed foods, less added sugars and more nutrient rich vegies, seeds, fruits etc.
