BFF Challenge: Are you eating well, Ju Ann?

It’s 2 weeks into my GLOW BFF Challenge. I haven’t lost much weight but I have gained muscle mass and lost fat. That’s a good start. I feel better and my bowls have been more regular. That’s probably because I’ve been taking heed of our nutritionist’s advice on Low GI, High Fiber, & Low Fat foods. I also am looking forward and feel more motivated in getting my lazy ass out of office and hurrying down to meet Sederick, our…

BFF Challenge: Run Ju Ann, Run

Hi, I’m not overweight but I have a lot of flab to loose. I have very high body fat percentage and too little muscle mass. I may eat well, but I don’t eat regularly. I try exercising often, but I’m not always regular about it. That’s my diet and my lifestyle, in a nutshell. When Nicole from GLOW came by and asked if I’ll be interested to be part of the BFF Challenge (the Berry Fruity Fat-loss Challenge). It is…

Home Exercises that are good for your spine

My 1st Chiropractic Consultation

The first consultation is valued at $300 – perks of being a blogger, I got it free but hey because you are reading my blog, you get it free too. Read on to find out more. I was introduced to everyone and was given a tour of their office. Landmark Shopping Centre is quite a “rundown” and seemingly “deserted” mall. Amazing seeing as how it’s location is right smack just beside Bugis MRT. Once I went into Kirolounge, it was…

I started a new very deskbound job in mid April, so I am kinda thinking that what tipped the edge and caused the more frequent onset of the pains must have been the new change in my office environment where I spend 8-10 hours daily. During…
