7 steps to getting back to eating healthy
The Festive Season is always a challenge when it comes to eating healthy. It is not only because of all the baked goods and family meals but also because we often have little control over meals. We stayed with my parents for most of the time and then with my brother, there were 12 of […]
Quick Beef Stirfry
This heat makes cooking unbearable. No one wants to stand over a hot stove and prepare a meal that no one really feels like eating anyway. We have only been back home for 2 nights and both nights have been quick and easy dinners. We had a smoked chicken salad yesterday for lunch which was […]
Nutty Chicken Curry
I am loving fresh coriander at the moment. If I could put it into dinner every night I would! I use dried coriander a lot but forgot how divine fresh coriander is! I am trying to grow some so that I have it on hand at all times! This recipe is a huge hit in […]
On reaching my goal weight!
I reached my Weigh-Less goal weight yesterday! I have been on Weigh-Less many times and each time I have lost but have never stayed until I have reached my goal weight but this time I was determined. I have the sweetest group leader who was more excited than I was when she saw the numbers. […]
A bit of a round-up
Kiara asked me this morning if it really is the 10 September when she heard it on the radio. It seems once we pass July, the year just careens downhill! There is lots going on in our house this week! Kiara and Jack have their school concert. Kiara’s is on Friday night and Jack’s is […]
How easily do you take time out for yourself?
I had my hair done yesterday. No big deal except I had highlights done so it was a two hour appointment. I have been putting it off for months because it requires so much time but I was starting to look like a drowned rat (or in David’s words a peasant) so something had to […]
Weigh-Less – week 3
Last week was the worst week so far. Purely because we got some news (good news) which launched me on a “eat everything I can” expedition. I am a comfort eater – good news, bad news – anything outside the equilibrium that happens I eat. As a result of this I got more hungry so […]
Weigh-Less – Week 2
Last week was a tougher week than week one for some reason. I gave in and had coffee (twice) and had ½ more tsps of sugar than I was supposed. I was also a little lazy in weighing my food and by Thursday I couldn’t face another salad for lunch so did stop with it […]
10 Random Things
Today is one of those days. I have half a page of blog ideas written in my pretty notebook but sitting in traffic for over 2 hours kinda drained all my inspiration and energy so the list shall have to wait another day. Kiara got a box full of silk worms from her aftercare teacher. […]
Weigh-Less – Week One
Week one of any diet is the hardest. It’s basically a detox and we all know how much our bodies love a detox. The hardest part for me was the lack of sugar. I enjoyed the increased amounts of veggies but honestly the 10ml of sugar a day KILLED ME! I eventually started using Canderel […]
