Renovations dirty, frustrating, exciting
Do you ever have days when the thing you found so motivating and exciting yesterday is exhausting and overwelming today? Welcome to my world! I have been scared of heights for ever; I couldn’t go up the ladder to the first floor of the ‘little house’, the old tumble down house we are now renovating […]
Getting juicy!
Day three of a juice cleanse and I feel oddly fine. No detox symptoms to date other than tiredness and a bit of a light head late on day 1 and part of day 2 – I am not remotely convinced it is because I am so pure and clean. No complaints from me though. […]
I am so excited!
I’m just going to blurt it out. You are in for a treat and so are our friends and visitors and clients because… drum roll… I am enrolled on a course! It is going to be busy because actually I am enrolled on two! As anyone who knows me could have told you actually, why […]
A quickie and a little cry.
This is such a quick and satisfying meal, a bit like (a lot like actually) a creamy risotto. I do adore risotto, full of butter and garlic, wine and parmesan. My favourite is with scallops and prawns. And that is a treat, occasionally. This one is for any time, no guilt, delicious taste, lovely feel, […]
Save me with savoury and when is a problem not a problem.
I just neeeeeed something savoury. I am so distracted by it I couldn’t even decide on my title. I don’t want juice or smoothies or chocolate or ice cream or anything other than something mouth-wateringly savoury! So that is salty, deeply flavoured, oily, maybe a hint of sweet to push those flavours even deeper. I’m […]
A bit of what you fancy actually does you good!
And we all know that is true don’t we? So, we are doing our ‘especially lean and clean’ week and it is going, as MM would say, very well indeed. We are juicing first thing. Well, after our lemon water. Green smoothies around lunch time followed by more juice (one I made earlier with the […]
Flip it!
Its extra clean ‘n’ lean time again (why don’t we just keep it up continuously?!). Anyway, I’m not beating myself up about that I am embracing what IS. My first thought, as usual, “oh, I’m so excited!” closely followed by “Oh, I’m so deprived….”. Especially when in the book I am reading they are sitting […]
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who was the spottiest girl of all?
We had dinner with old friends at the weekend, nothing quite like that relationship where you are accepted just the way you are however long it’s been. I was going to say ‘spots and all’ which reminded me of a snippet of conversation when I mentioned having been the spottiest girl in class. I was […]

The mission – energy, sleep, weight adjustment, happiness – yey!
Another week begins. Let’s renew our goals, write them down. Think about them, make them realistic and make them count – don’t have too many! We are still on the same mission, losing some weight, gaining a lot of energy, clarity, sleep, motivation. As we lose the ‘baddies’ (see earlier post) we will gain on […]
