Chocolate; it can be calorie laden and full of fat. That is, if you're eating the cheap, milk chocolate with very low levels of actual cocoa. I enjoy a little chocolate now and then, and was so excited to find this recipe for chocolate bites! Mmm, they look so yummy. Enjoying a little sweet is a great way to stick with your diet plan; if you never allow yourself to have anything that you like, one day it might backfire... What's your favourite chocolate treat?

I love writing fitness articles, and I especially love it when other people like them enough to publish them in their wonderful magazines! This month I'm lucky to have my article on HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) in Alive Magazine . I offer a number of fun and high intensity exercises which you can do at home or at the gym. Do you ever do HIIT training? What's your favorite High Intensity Exercise?

When it comes to the good cholesterol, fitness trumps weight This is an interesting research study that came out in October. I've seen plenty of people that have a few extra pounds on them, but are really fit; being overweight does not mean you are unfit. If people are active, lift weights, do their cardio, but can't lose the weight; they are still benefiting from things like increased bone density, decreased risk of heart disease, and lowered bad cholesterol. So don't lose hope if the scale isn't budging; other things in your body are taking notice of all of you hard work!
