I can’t believe that today is the last day of the year! 2013 has been quite a journey for me, with some incredible highs and not-so-great lows – a similar story to pretty much everyone else I’d imagine. And while I know a lot of people say you should never look back because you’re not going that way, personally I think there’s some merit in taking a little time to reflect on the year that was and the lessons you learned. After all, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it [that’s George Santayana, if you’re interested]….
LGF Advent Calendar Challenge
Guys… guys…. guess what! There’s only one month until Christmas!!! I know, I know, I’m beside myself with excitement too. A couple of weeks ago I brought you My Top 5 tips for Getting Through the Silly Season Unscathed, but frankly, that just WASN’T ENOUGH CHRISTMAS! So I’m taking things one step further, with a December challenge for you to participate in. It’s designed to help you burn a few extra calories in the lead up to the big day, and here’s how it works:…
My Top 5 Tips for Getting Through the Silly Season Unscathed
I LOVE Christmas. Each year I try to keep my excitement in check until around mid-November (I don’t want to risk peaking too early) but in all honesty there is nothing more exciting to me than Santa and his wonderful world of elves, reindeer and presents (yay!).

8 Tips for When You Don’t Feel Like Working Out
Earlier this week I had a question from an LGF follower. She said that she’s been struggling to find motivation for her cardio sessions, and asked if I had any tips. The more I thought about it, the more tips I came up with… so much so that I thought the topic deserved a blog post of its own… and here it is!
It’s a fact of life that not every workout is going to be one you look forward to. Whether it’s a style of training you hate or one particular exercise that has you running for the hills, I’ve got a few tips to help you make it through your session unscathed.

Girl Power (aka Why We Should Support Each Other)
One of my friends has spent the last few of months training for a Big Event. It’s the kind of Big Event that requires both physical and mental fortitude, the kind of Big Event that pushes you outside your comfort zone and then some. She’s been training like a trooper – hours on the road, in the gym and in the yoga studio – to ensure her body is in peak condition when the day of the Big Event arrives.

Why I Donate Plasma
When it comes to getting bang for your social conscience buck, you can’t go past a visit to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

LG Motivation – The Shrinking Hubby
Sometimes a story comes along that is too inspiring not to share. For me, this is one of those stories.
A few months ago (when LGF was just a twinkle in my eye) I was toying with the idea of starting a health and fitness blog and chatting to a good friend of mine, Clementine, about it. Clemmy mentioned a fabulous blog called The Shrinking Hubby, full of clean, healthy and (most importantly) simple recipe ideas. I’m always on the lookout for new meals to add to my limited repertoire, so as soon as I got off the phone I was onto the internets to check it out.

LG Motivation – Bev Robinson (yup, my mum!)
Most of us have taken a break from exercise at some point in our life. And no matter the reason (injury, new job, laziness, having children or any other shift in priorities) there’s one thing that can be guaranteed – it’s REALLY difficult to get back into it.
So when that ‘break from exercise’ turns into decades and becomes a way of life, how do you find the motivation to turn things around? Well, today I’m talking to a very special lady who did just that. She also happens to be the world’s best mum, and she’s mine, so hands off.

My 10 Favourite Exercise Excuses
Excuses for not exercising are the best. They’re fun, imaginative and – much like the old ‘dog ate my homework’ trick – they’re also completely transparent. Here are 10 of my favourites, as well as some rebuttal for you to use next time you find yourself in an internal argument about whether or not you’re going to the gym.

My Lazy Girl Training Program
I often get asked about my training schedule, with many people assuming I work out every day. I don’t – nor do I think it’s necessary – and I thought today was as good a day as any to let you step a little further into my own lazy girl world by sharing my training program with you.
