Sharing the Meal – Cooking Wars

Cast your mind back four years, we were in lockdown and for the most part you couldn’t have a meal with family and friends, so we dreamt up new ways to share. Sitting outside 2 meters apart was popular, so was the good old zoom call. This must have been training for us, as weContinue reading “Sharing the Meal – Cooking Wars”

You should know by now that Pinch Of Nom (PON) is super important for the way I like to cook, diet, and spend a lot of my spare time on their Facebook page and taking pictures of my food, and trying to get in the top 5 contributes for the month, to get PON SWAG.Continue reading “NOMfluencing”

Gadgets Save Fingers

I don’t really need an excuse to buy a gadget, normally something from Apple, or IT related, but I’m no stranger to a kitchen gadget.

How do you eat an Elephant?

This is a classic quote about breaking something down into manageable chunks, I mean eating an elephant is a tall order, but if you break it down to “one bite at a time” it would be easy right?

How do you measure up?

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

I have been watching “Fat Friends” a TV series from the early “naughties” again as it is on Netflix, while I remember it very well, I forgot how good and hard hitting it was. Many of the issues covered in the series are ones anyone overweight has experienced, the James Corden character (Jamie) getting bulliedContinue reading “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!”

Milestones Tracking

Tracking milestones in a project is the way you track progress, when you’re losing weight, setting milestones give you something to aim at. Also looking back at a milestone and tracking how well you’re doing is key. Think about sobriety, it can be a key part of AA. In the early months it is aContinue reading “Milestones Tracking”

It’s a Running Joke

Thanks for clicking on the link, and sorry about the joke! I have always loved swimming, I have enjoyed cycling, I hated walking and as for running, it’s what you do when the zombie apocalypse comes ain’t it? If you ask my family they will tell you, when I saw people running I thought theyContinue reading “It’s a Running Joke”

Confessions of a Foodaholic!

From time to time I get asked some questions, and last week it was favour from my Weight Watchers (WW) Coach. “WW have asked us to find a member to talk to other members in the group about their journey/success and I thought of you!” Well after being given an opportunity to talk about myContinue reading “Confessions of a Foodaholic!”
