I have been reading recipe books a lot recently. I think this is because having an alcohol-free January makes me hungrier. But I have been doing low-fat recipes, including maple and orange chicken, (which is much less disgusting than it sounds), and aubergine bake. Also, I made sweet potato wedges, which were DELICIOUS and a complete revelation.
The things about food is, it's so easy to slip into bad habits and make bad choices. That's why I find planning so important. Tomorrow I'm having cereal and blueberries for breakfast, and mackerel and savoury couscous for lunch. For dinner I'm having chicken, sweet potato wedges and curly kale. And fruit and yogurt for afters. How very wholesome.
Rather annoyingly, I have got terrible dark circles under my eyes, despite sleeping very well and not having any nights out. Just one of the many things which are sent to try us in this life. I am feeling rather philosophical tonight. I deleted my profile off the dating site, which made me feel very empowered.
When I started this blog, back in May 2009, my aim was to keep a record of the efforts I was making to change my life - most obviously to lose weight and get fitter. And I'd say im 90% close to where I want to be - just a few more pounds and I will fit into the slinky snakeskin dress I bought in the January sales! I was looking back at some of my older posts tonight - I've been variously stupid, kind, sad, numb, excited, chilled out, nervous, and happy, but I've always been honest. It's been fun, for the most part. But I think it's time to go offline. This decision has been prompted by the fact that a colleague at work knows about my blog, which makes me feel inhibited about what I post. And where's the fun in that?!
Thanks to those who have commented, I'll continue to read your blogs!
Cheerio!
