Healthy eating

fruit 004

Tesco has been promoting healthy eating in all their stores.

This has also been promoted in the staff canteen at my store with free healthy food for us each day.

Fruit, salads, dips with fresh raw vegetables and fresh fruit salad were just a few of the things on offer to us.

We also had a competition to guess how many pieces of dried fruit was in the jar.

Well it must have been my lucky day, as my guess was the nearest at 127 , the actual number was 129.

The prize was the jar of fruit….

If Only….

If only I lived in Downham Market

I could walk to work

I could walk to the gym

I could go swimming and walk to the Library

I could walk to the Train station

I could see my friends out side of work, and join them at aerobics.

And that’s how I feel today….  🙁

Just rewards… Just for me….

The housing association that own my house has a scheme called Just Rewards

Just Rewards is a special package providing a wide range of benefits. To be a member you just have to pay your rent on time through out the year.

I qualify to be a member but don’t use any of the benefits,although at Christmas its nice to receive the £26 in high street vouchers.

Like most mum’s I spend most of the treats on my boys, so we decided this year we would get Prison Break season 2 but too our amazement it was still £60 when we went to HMV to get it.

For a change I decided to treat myself with the vouchers.

So here is my gorgeous pink leather Radley purse….

I will just have to start watching the Lost series  as Andrew has season one and two . Prison break 2 will have to be put on hold once again 🙁

Loosing the Lbs but not the Pounds

Like most people, after Christmas I always have a few extra Lbs I need to loose.

Not helped, this year by my week in Les Gets and all those Vin Chaud’s to keep me warm on the slopes.

I didn’t feel I needed to go back to slimming world, as I was in the right frame of mind to do it on my own.

So I decided I would go back to an old favorite of mine, who just happened to have a new book out.rosemary

For almost a week now I have been following Rosemary Conley’s  GI Hip and Thigh Diet its been easy and I have lost 2lb so far.

Her book has become my bible it goes everywhere with me.

It has 4 weeks of set daily menus if you want to follow them or sections on breakfast, lunch and dinners if you want to make your own daily menus.

It also has some great recipes to help you along.

One of my favorite recipes so far has been the Potato and Broccoli soup:-

1 red onion

115g of potato chopped

2 gloves of garlic

1.2 liters of veg stock

225g Broccoli

Place onion, potato and  garlic in a saucepan pour in the vegetable stock bring to boil then simmer till potatoes are cooked.

Add Broccoli and cook till tender blend till smooth , season before serving.

This is enough for 4 servings…. but Matthew liked it so much he almost polished it all off in one go.

The book cost £3.49 from amazon , money well spent I think.
