The dreaded flu bug.

I thought with my new healthy lifestyle, the flu would not get to me. I was wrong - and I am just starting to feel back to form after nearly two weeks of feeling rotten!

I have started Ecinacea tincture - 15 drops in a little water 3 times a day - and I do think it is working. Here's hoping.

12 Pounds gone since Jan. 1st

I am so pleased with myself - I am 12 lbs lighter than I was at the start of the year - that's 6 bags of sugar GONE!!

I am determined that the other 8 bags of sugar will go before May and I will have reached the magic 10 stone target - It will feel so good to get back into clothes that I thought would have to go to the charity shop.

Off I go for a quick pint (of water) before I have my mid-morning snack.

The Wonders of Grapes!

When I feel hungry or need a bit of a boost I have found a small bunch of grapes to be an ideal pick me up - particularly the lovely sweet black ones. They are quite high in calories but they are as good as a bar of chocolate in the "sugar rush" stakes and so much better for you. Try it - keep them washed in the fridge in small bunches - ready for when you have a snack attack. They are also one of the best detox fruits available!
