Prawn & Tuna Salad

Prawn & Tuna Salad

It's Heating up in Melbourne I’m a salad enthusiast—diet or no diet, rain or shine (though admittedly, in Melbourne’s rain, I may have reconsidered once or twice). Salads are my go-to because they’re not just refreshing and satisfying, but they’re also versatile enough to make me feel like a kitchen Picasso. Yes, I load them up to the point where the term “salad” might be questionable. But ...

My Healthy Journey Continues

Weekly Weigh-In: My Healthy Journey Continues As the calendar flips to 2025, I find myself reflecting on the progress I made in 2024. It’s been a year of learning, growth, and some tangible wins—most notably, losing 6.5kg on my WW journey! 🎉 Weight loss isn’t just about the numbers on the scale; it’s about the small, consistent choices that lead to big changes. For me, 2024 was about ...
We Say Goodbye to 2024

We Say Goodbye to 2024

A long waffle, but that is me! Our Year in Highlights: A Reflection on 2024 JanuaryThe year began with a focus on health and self-care as I joined WW - Weight Watchers. A step toward a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, full of promise and determination. As the year comes to a close, I’m celebrating a personal achievement: a weight loss of 7.3kg! I’m feeling proud of how far I’ve come. Now, ...
Mango Salsa Chicken

Mango Salsa Chicken

Mango Season This time of year, mangoes are everywhere where I live—and they’re wonderfully affordable! I absolutely love their flavour and versatility. Whether used in sweet or savoury dishes, mangoes bring a refreshing burst of tropical goodness that elevates any recipe. Chris and I decided to put this seasonal delight to good use in our dinner. As usual, we made a great team in the ...
First day back at WW workshops, and can I just say: “I’M THRILLED!” Coach Carol and the girls are like a walking pep rally—they’ve got enough enthusiasm to power a small country. The vibe? Immaculate. You can’t help but think, “I GOT THIS!” And honestly, they make you believe it. They’re like your personal cheer squad, dishing out support and purpose like it’s their superpower. Love my workshop? Understatement of the year.

This is exactly why I’m turning my house into a full-blown powerhouse! For all the folks who skip workshops for whatever reason (non WW members, schedule conflicts, the allure of sweatpants, or just pure rebellion), I’ve got you covered. Because let’s face it - Together We Thrive isn’t just a slogan; it’s a way of life. 🏠💪🍎 https://thethermocouple.com.au/together-we-thrive/

This week’s victory: down 400g! 💃 No exercise yet (oops), but hey, baby steps, right? I’ll get there—I can feel it. Here’s to more wins, less weight, and maybe even finding my walking shoes someday! 🏃‍♀️✨

Birthday 58 vs. Birthday 59 – I know which one I prefer! Down 7.3kg with a little more to go. It’s not a huge amount but today my fellow ww friend handed me a 5kg ham today. Comparing that to what I have lost - wow 😮 

Thank you, @ww_vic_australia, for not just the change in dress size but the complete lifestyle transformation. The amazing ladies and coach at the workshop in Essendon make all the difference—they’re so encouraging and make the whole journey so much more fun. 

The support of family & friends - endless. Thank you

My first ever wedding cake. The brief was a simple elegant white wedding cake. A topper simple and elegant and I included Hank - their baby 🐕 

Their request was also for a ginger cake so it prompted me to scour my recipes. What I came up with was @funkybatter gingerbread cake with real orange battercream topped with dark chocolate shavings (@kokoblackchocolate ) and battercream. 2 tiers, 5 layers - simply beautiful 

The cake travelled well for Stephen and Marks day. The sun shone in Lorne for them and their day was everything they hoped for and more. 

Wishing them all the love and happiness they deserve and more 🫶👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🫶

Well I haven’t weighed in for two weeks and I was a little worried about the results after my working holiday in Perth with Anna and Wendy. Not bad indeed I must say. Happy to finally crack the illusive 72.2. Couldn’t get past 72.3 for months. I got this!
