I don't know about you but I've been feeling 100% healthier and happier over the past 2 days since the sun has come out! SAD exists and I am a prime example.
I either need to move to the Caribbean or get a light box (talking of which I have an alarm clock which wakes me up with natural light- it's fabbers!)

Banana-rama
Friday 26 February
I've just read that bananas are Britain's most wasted food. That doesn't really surprise me- I hate it when they go all brown and mushy. But, to do your bit to stop food waste (and to save some pennies) why not chuck em in a blender with some strawberries, natural yogurt and milk. Easy! The older the bananas, the sweeter they are so they're perfect in smoothies, cakes, breads etc.

..make it this! Check out Ada, the 92 year old- she's an absolute inspiration. The next time I don't have the motivation to get in the pool I'm going to think of her.

She learnt how to swim at 73 years old, which just shows it's never too late.

2 weeks bubbly-free!
16 January 2010
Yes, I've survived 2 weeks, 1 day and 5 hours without a touch of the bubbly stuff (and all other alcohol as a matter of fact). I'm feeling pretty damn good (and very smug).
Tonight might be tricky, a dinner party with my two booziest friends but I told them well in advance I'll be on the appletizer and will not succumb to peer pressure!
All I have to do now is plan what my first tipple will be in 2 weeks 1 day and 8 hours...mmmm.

Bootylicious

Apparently having a big bum is good for you! Well, we've actually known this a while but it's always good to hear. That's no excuse to stuff your face with Krispy Kremes though- putting on fat around your tummy is linked to heart disease and all sorts of other problems.
But if you're a natural Beyonce or J-Lo enjoy it, and keep doing those sit ups!

Tweet your eats
8 January 2010
Apparently if you want to lose the love handles, twitter is the way forward. Keeping a food diary is the first thing I recommend to people so I guess it works on the same principle. Not sure I'd want all my followers to see my weird midnight snacks but that's probably why it works!
Check out http://www.tweetwhatyoueat.com/ and see how it works.
Let me know if you try it!

Grrrrrrrr

Did anyone else watch that awful programme the Big Fat Diet last night? What a load of rubbish. So, a bunch of women got together to lose a dress size in 2 weeks and were shown around a supermarket with bags of '100 calorie' foods (half a biscuit, 2 pringles, that kinda thing).
When you're losing weight it's been shown time after time that quick-fix very low-calorie diets won't last, and putting the emphasis on 'dropping a dress size in 2 weeks' is setting yourself up for a fall.
Better to make small changes which you're going to stick to, rather than saving all your calories up for 2 glasses of wine and feeling starving all day long!
