Shut up and Lift: This year
So this year has been one of my most proudest years yet.
I went from a big fat fatty in April to a tiny sexy beast in 8 months. All just from being healthy and exercising. Who knew???
Ever since I was about 20 and started putting on heaps of weight, I have just wanted to be small again. I tired…
So inspirational hunny! I love that David actually is SO supportive. You got a really really good catch right there! Well done x

my name is ra: The Shocking Truth
One thing we are told as kids by our parents is to ‘not tell lies’. Children are some of the most honest people. So why is it then that we find it difficult as teenagers and adults to be truthful?
The reality is, is that the truth often hurts, it really does. So for most people, telling a lie,…
Too true!

Busy bee
Slaving away in the kitchen today prepping for my newphews 4th BBQ tomorrow which I’m having at my house as we’ve got some cool toys and a big yard for the kids to play in..
Made us zuchinni and haloumi fritters for dinner with a nice big leafy green salad recipe is here: http://www.nzgirl.co.nz/eat/zucchini-and-haloumi-fritters/
Aswel as making a huge orzo salad with sundried tomatos, feta, pinenuts, pesto, lemon juice, spring onions and some seasoning, a curried kumara and potato salad, dozens of chocolate dipped strawberries, ambrosia, a double stacked chocolate mudcake which I am to decorate tomorrow morning. Made marinade for the ham, gluten free bread for my gf guests.
My partner has been most helpful cleaning up the house and tidying up outside and my darling daughter has played part being an angel all day.
Normally I would be stressed but I’ve enjoyed it so much and it’s always fun doing stuff for other people. Now I just need to rearrange the fridge so I can fit everything in - this is going to be the hard part.
