Getting Fit with the P90X – Phase III {26.5 lbs & 36.5 inches gone!}

March 28, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Because there comes a point in time when you have to make a decision:do something about the extra weight or buy bigger underpants. I refuse to buy bigger underpants. I have come to the stark realization that I am nearing the end of my 3rd decade. 40 is looming ahead like a giant wall, and I …

Getting Fit with P90X – Phase II

February 13, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

I’ll be ready for the zombie apocalypse, I will! This exercise program is brutal. I’m not going to lie to you! I’ve become hooked on the tv show The Walking Dead. Each evening my husband and I watch a couple of episodes and it’s become something I really look forward to at the end of the …

Skinny Creamy Celeriac & Apple Soup

January 12, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

All the flavour and nearly half the calories! I love a hearty, creamy bowl of soup, me. Especially when the winds are howling outside and you want something warm and comforting. Alas, most creamy soup recipes use a ridiculous amount of double cream – something I just can’t afford to eat right now while I’m trying …

Getting Fit with P90X – Phase I

January 9, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Reclaiming my body, one push-up at a time. That’s it. Something has to be done. I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life (barring pregnancy, but even then I’m not sure I’m not heavier now – I refused to even own a scale while pregnant). The NHS BMI calculator has me right smack dab …

Banana Nut Protein Smoothie

Banana Nut Protein Smoothie

November 19, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

A vegan post workout protein smoothie. Dear Reader, I have a confession to make. I’ve become fat. I’d always been one of those skinny people. When I left high school I weighed just over 7 stone. I was very active: swimming, cycling, skateboarding, horseback riding, climbing (and falling out of) trees in the summer, skiiing, …
