Day 34

Jun 21, 2017 |

I had a wonderful break in Greece at the beautiful Neilson Sivota Retreat the food was amazing, lots of local fresh salads and so it was easy to eat fairly healthily  (I was on holiday after all!). We were delayed on the way home so we had no other option than to buy a loaf of bread from the garage, but I did have a nice big slab of cheddar in the fridge so we had cheese on toast for our tea on Sunday! I did a nice 'big shop' at The Butcher/Baker at Barton Marina on Monday afternoon, and for...

Day 24 and the new commitment to 90 days

Jun 11, 2017 |

When this posts I will be on the way to a week's holiday in Greece.  I'm delighted to say that the company we booked with, Neilson, are an independent. However, as I didn't actually plan my 30 day challenge very well in advance and just started it on a bit of a whim, my challenge would end next week whilst I am away. Honestly - it hasn't been that much of a challenge.  Although I havn't been in a supermarket now for over 3 weeks, it has felt quite easy.  So I've made the decision to extend my...

Day 17

Jun 4, 2017 |

I still havn't found a local veg box scheme, and I've not yet needed an emergency shop so still not done the local corners shop. Apart from it taking a bit of additional time, it's been good.  I had a lovely chat with the butchers at a new farm shop in Walsall, who happily split a big box of chicken breast that they had on offer into two's for me so I could freeze them.  This shop one actually had trollies and also lots of normal shopping items so I felt like it would be a sensible option for...

Day 11

May 29, 2017 |

It's the end of my second weekend, today is a bank holiday so I'm writing this from bed whilst my spicy pork sausages cook slowly in the oven (they would have gone on the barbie but, in the tradition of all British bank holidays, it's decided to rain). And I'm looking back at the early days of my challenge. I've been at a lot of events and away from home more than I would normally, so the week has felt a bit disjointed, and if I'd thought ahead and planned the start of my challenge I might...

Day 4

May 23, 2017 |

So far it has been remarkably easy, I've done a shop at the greengrocers, had breakfast and shopped at the farm shop and I have a fridge full of food. My biggest challenge at the minute is lunches - tomorrow we have layered salad. My second challenge is how little I'm actually at home to eat. I didn't plan the start date of my 30 day challenge, but I'm not sure if any date would have been better than another. Tonight I met a friend for drinks but no food, so I need to find something easy on...

Easy Oats

Feb 3, 2017 |

Breakfast like a king Oats are my 'go to' breakfast, they take no time to prepare the night before.  This means I don't have to think in the morning, I just grab and go.  When I'm working I rarely get up early enough to eat before I leave so these easy oats mean that I can have a nutritious and filling breakfast at my desk.  You can make several in one go for the rest of the family, or they keep in the fridge for a few days. BASIC RECIPE 1 part oats 2 parts liquid Mix in any container you have...

Food is fuel

Feb 3, 2017 |

Would you put cheap petrol in your car, petrol that was filled with additives that clogged your engine and made your car sluggish? Would you feed your dog or cat food that was filled with lots of sugar or salt, made them hyperactive for an hour and then lethargic and even hungrier afterwards? Of course not. But what we seem to forget when we are feeding ourselves is what the food is doing to our bodies.  We need good fuel to work well, to concentrate, for children to grow healthy, for...
