sports drinks or sugar water?
Dara (Belly Bootcamp) in Been Around the Blog, Fitness Blogaholic, For the love of food - 1 comment - posted on Nov 5th, 2010Most of my clients drink water during our sessions. I have one client who sees me at 6:30 a.m. (yes… I start work at 6:30 a.m…aren’t you glad you’re not a personal trainer?) and she usually starts her day with a half-cranberry-half-water with a scoop of fibre supplement. Another client always has a jug of water and a half cup of black coffee for sipping. Everyone is different! Me? Personally, I’m a water gal. Cold. And lots of it. Sometimes, in Belly Bootcamp classes, a tired mommy lacking that “zip” we all used to have before night feedings and temper … Continue reading

Cellulite What Cellulite
Dara (Belly Bootcamp) in Fitness Blogaholic, Just Between Us - 0 comments - posted on Sep 2nd, 2010I have pretty good body image, I think. Sure, there are things about myself I’d like to change but I only focus on the things I can change with healthy habits. For every part of myself I am not crazy about, I can name another thing with which I really am satisfied – even happy. I am still breastfeeding, and I have some weight left to lose after my last baby was born in November, but overall I feel alright. But cellulite. If there is one part of postpartum that makes me feel as unattractive as possible, it’s the cellulite. … Continue reading
