Re Counting Calories

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

I have decided it’s time to recount my calories – what I mean is I am going to make sure that I am eating what I think I am. As we know by now I eat mainly the same meals each week and over time it’s possible I rounded numbers up or down, forgot the [...]

Still pushing along

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

It’s been a while since I last blogged, but don’t panic – I have not given up and gained all the weight back (in a few weeks? I should hope not) and am still on track with my weight loss. Though I have been enjoying the fudge my parents brought me back from their trip [...]

Gimme more Vitamin C!

Monday, July 5th, 2010

I feel as though I am definitely missing something my diet at the moment – I bruise like a peach and my skin in general is really bad and blotchy. A quick search suggests I may be lacking in vitamin C which makes sense as I don’t eat nearly as much fruit as I should. [...]

Chocolate Gift Baskets

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

You know, people assume that because I am a healthy eating nerd these days it would be a bad idea to buy me chocolate gift baskets or other food related items as gifts – wrong! I would never buy something like that for myself so getting it as a gift once a blue moon really [...]

A lesson learned

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Here’s something I learned today – always double check labels, just because something is ‘OK’ in one brand doesn’t mean it will be in another. I eat pickled onions (6 to be exact) every day with my sandwich. A few days ago my fiance ate one and commented on how salty they were – I [...]

My own calorie book

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

It’s been a while since I last blogged, how naughty of me. As I mentioned in my last post I did count my calories obsessively for about a week just to get an idea of what I was eating and making sure nothing had slipped – I checked the packages of everything, even the things [...]

Come on the summer BBQ!

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of goviral. All opinions are 100% mine. I think my favourite TV chef is Jamie Oliver. I used to like Gordan Ramsay but like a lot of UK celebrities he sold out when he moved to America, I find his American versions of Hell’s Kitchen [...]

There’s nothing like your Mothers cooking

Friday, March 26th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hormel Foods. All opinions are 100% mine. It doesn’t matter how old you get, there’s nothing quite like having a home cooked meal prepared by your mother. It always instantly takes me back to growing up – it’s amazing how easily food evokes memories [...]

The Perfect Diet?

Friday, February 5th, 2010

You’d think that after being on this healthy lifestyle kick for almost three years now I’d have the ‘perfect’ diet down to a tee – but I am less than perfect. It’s hard finding the balance between staying low calorie but still having enough food to feel satisfied and get all the nutrients our body [...]
