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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So I stick with my Crazy Low Calorie diet last week, I was consuming anything from 700 – 1200 per day and burning anthing from 400 – 700 through exercise. I actually lost 2lbs. This makes me very happy as I have not lost any wieght no matter what I have tried recently – however [...]

So my weight loss plan for this week is to go low calorie, and when I say low calorie I don’t mean 1400, or 1200, I mean as low as I can go. Yesterday was day one of my plan and I consumed only 700 calories and burned 400. Trust me, this is not something [...]

I have just spent a lot of time on a website that aims to teach How Wheat Works in a fun and informative way – the site is created and run by the Wheat Foods Council and I think it’s a great idea. Educating people in the benefits of eating whole food but in way [...]

So Christmas came and went and I gained a pound, that’s all, I can deal with gaining a pound. I certainly enjoyed my food and drink over the last few weeks allowing myself many treats and even an alcoholic drink – it’s the first Christmas in three years that I’ve just gone for it and [...]

Not something I thought I would ever say just a few years ago before I started to get healthy – I was strictly a white bread/rice kinda girl! Now I can’t get enough whole wheat stuff and the processed stuff makes me turn my nose up! How Wheat Works is a great site I came [...]
