A rest day yesterday, felt pretty drained from the 5 previous sessions. Will do a few sessions in Darwin this week in the stifling heat and humidity. Nice work Shell, enjoy the break on the fit life stuff. You will feel a massive difference come the weekend and be ready to go twice as hard when you ...

They are very nice pictures and sorry I missed them.

Certainly a big chance of storms this weekend and into next week with some big falls likely in the area. Bit hit and miss ahead of a 40mm rain event come mid next week.

OMG I love Dance Moms! And let me tell you something, I have never seen professionals act like that. Candy Apples and Abby Lee Miller dance studios are frightening!!! Dance Moms Miami take it to a whole other level! I cannot believe they allow the teachers to stand on a scale and have them weighed o...

Well next week shapes as one of the bigger events of the spring with widespread humidity and low pressure dominating the region - could see falls in excess of 100mm accummulated over many regions of the SE regions of Australia and extending into NSW. Showers and storms likely from Sunday over inland...

Another 11km walk/run last night. Was pleasant once the sun went down but nice to get out and exercise and not freeze.

Another session in the gym tonight before I head off to the NT tomorrow

Looking like the system is still on track to deliver widespread showers and storms over southern and eastern Victoria over the coming 24hrs. Today will be largely fine and dry with hot northerly winds easing ahead of a southerly change tonight from the west. Isolated showers and thunderstorms to dev...

I am totally into Grand Designs on Foxtel. Loving that show. Also Fashion Police for a bit of Joan Rivers comedy. She is outrageous and hilarious viewing!

I am really resisting the temptation to start watching season 2 of Revenge!!

That will keep you fit!!! Having a 5 year old!!! :) The moon was spectacular this morning on my way to work. I think Robyn, who is currently in the USA, was going to be taking some pictures of it. I think it was the Hunters Moon?? Anyhow, I am ready to land some kicks and punches here at work this m...

Thanks Jake for your forecasts over the last month or so flying solo!! Doing awesome!! Mid week system looking like it is still on. Plenty of moisture and instability lurking for the latter part of Wednesday into Thursday with a showery/stormy outbreak likely to occur during the period. Rainfall of ...

Yes it was a tough weekend Shell. I did a 9km run yesterday in the heat to get myself acclimatised to the NT style of weather. I think nothing can prepare me for that later this week. Lost another kg as well over the past couple of days, 15kg all up now and starting to notice a real difference. Toda...

That sounds like a good program! I think slow steps to getting up to speed and allowing your body to get up to speed is best! Took my knees a while to get used to the endurance and that meant trying different exercises. Had a full blown 2hr session on Saturday at the gym where I did everything! Was ...

Very heavy rainfall across the region yesterday morning saw 111mm at Leanyer to the NE of Darwin, 85mm at Karama and 80mm towards Palmerston to the SE of the CBD. Certainly a very monsoonal type atmosphere building up there. More thunderstorms moving in again this morning, will have lighter falls of...

Looking like we may have a good chance of seeing shower and thunderstorm activity develop along the next front as it crosses into Victoria during the middle part of the week. Signs are interesting with an increase of moisture likely from E SA and NSW during Tuesday which may see isolated showers and...

Significant showers moving up at the moment. Some of them look thundery behind this band of rain over the SW and a secondary feature tonight could see them increase further over C areas.

Might be storm chasing worthy! Keep an eye on the radar!

Not looking dry like I thought after all!

I am obsessed with TV at the moment. I hate to say it, but Selling Houses Australia is just so much fun to watch. I am going to watch it this afternoon. Anyone else seen Revenge?!~ Again in love with it! Such a great show. Download it if you have not watched it and watch it over a weekend as the sec...

And work your way towards lowering your sugar intake and your fat intake, slowly come off it. I think a gradual increase of clean eating over lapping poor eating habits is a good way of letting your body adjust. Be prepared for headaches and blah sensation. Go with it and drug yourself with panadol!...

Yes it looks to be a wet wet wet season for QLD and should see the signs of that this weekend with a developing inland trough from the coast with significant rainfall for the areas from about Cairns down to the SC near and north of Noosa. Brisbane likely to see showers and afternoon thunderstorms in...

I am hoping to be nude this summer so will have to try your technique before dinner tonight ;). lol! I think that helps a great deal and yes a food diary all the way. I found that when I changed my diet and I tried to eat like my old ways with high fats and loads of sugar, my digestive pattern shift...

I also find that having a good breakfast is very important to kick start the metabolism so get out of bed on time and make sure you eat correctly! Sharing more thoughts as I go. Did a 7km trail run/walk in the pouring rain last night in the Dandenongs, scaling wet and slippery hill faces was a chall...

I will be heading up there next week to start the coverage on the weather building up over the north and will be returning for TC action later this year into January. http://www.northauschasers.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is another great site to see live up to date ...
