Hi everyone! I know I haven’t written for a while – I was a bit busy when my cousin (whose wedding I went to in the States earlier this year) decided to spend her honeymoon here and then I got sick again – its possibly the flu but definitely not COVID-19. In the meantime, I’ve…

Hello readers, I hope you’re all well. Today’s entry is going to be a bit of a drag as it’s not about a fun subject. It’s not entirely a rant, but something I guess I woke up to given I’ve had a little more time to reflect on things these days – not because I…

Hello readers! I hope you are all well and getting through this super cold winter we are shivering through in Melbourne. It’s been a really disjointed few months for me, and the trip to Singapore and the States feels like an eternity ago. As you know, I had an undiagnosed (kept testing negative) case of…

Hello readers! I’m still finalizing my in between posts – things have been a little hectic lately, but today I celebrate another lap around the sun, and it’s been a hell of a year. I’m 36 this year (have never understood the whole lying about your age thing, maybe because my ever practical mumma bear…

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all keeping well. Things are a bit hairy globally at the moment, so I’m really trying to stick to the mantra of ‘focus on what you can control’. So, some good news on the forefront. At least, I think it’s good news, but it’s good for me unless things go…

Hello everyone! Where has the time gone? How is it almost Lunar New Year and into the second month of the year? I for one know what has been keeping people occupied this month. 1. Exploding Omicron figures (we are consistently in 5 figures every day) 2. The Djokovic saga (which could have been easily…

Disclaimer: I’m not a Karen, nor is my name Karen. I’ve also never asked to see a manager before… We are now 13 days into 2022, and there has been very little to inspire me. Our daily numbers in Victoria are in the 5 figure area; there are very few rules in place to try…

Hello readers! Let me start off by wishing you all a very belatedly Merry Christmas; Happy Holidays and a safe and prosperous New Year. It has, unfortunately, not been the best end to 2021 as I had hoped. I last wrote in October, where I was navigating the ‘I had a reaction to the Pfizer’…

Hello reader! I know it’s been a while – we have been in lockdown since mid-July and I’ve been a little too depressed to write. Lockdown this year has been harder than last year as we have had to get through them without government support. They keep telling us that we are in their thoughts…

Hello reader, I’m sorry for the long absence. Things haven’t been the greatest here in Melbourne… or even in Australia to be honest. A series of bad judgement calls and decisions made by the Premier of New South Wales has led to a near-national lockdown reminiscent of last year’s major lockdowns. I am unsure what…

Hello readers! We are going to pivot a little bit away from my ramblings about fitness and food and move into an area that is still stigmatised despite the increased openness from public, political and influential figures: mental health. Not just mental health as a whole, but what we believe to be the trigger for…

Hello again everyone! I realise I made the title sound very Harry Potter, but I promise you, this is less interesting then the tale of a boy wizard. Post snap lockdown in Melbourne, we are back on the KX40 challenge wagon. I did miss three classes because of the lockdown, but the first class back…
