Gingerbread Men
It was a beautiful day today. I’m still recovering from my cold from last week so rather than go for a run I decided to go for a 4 mile walk with the dog. In spite of all Mr L and I’s mileage, the dog doesn’t really get out much bless him. He’s not normally
Mindfulness
I thought I’d want a bacon sandwich for breakfast this morning but actually I’ve had a bowl of cereal with milk, and not having had it last week, only a little for my tea, I really appreciated that milk. I have read a lot over the years about the benefits of eating ( doing everything
Living below the line – Day 5 (the final day!)
I am so glad it’s the last day of my challenge today. I feel a lot better today, my cold is going and I can see the ‘finish line’. I’ve reached the stage of ears popping and being able to hear properly again -so great! It’s so often the little things that keep you happy.
Living below the line – day 4
I’m really struggling now. I still feel ill, but now I also have no energy and I’m getting ‘Hangry’. Just before tea last night, I didn’t even read my little girl a story before bed – I just felt too lightheaded. I’m craving being able to make myself better by eating some fruit and vegetables.
Live Below The Line – Day 3
It’s been 48 hours and I’m feeling the effects. Normally I eat protein with every meal to make sure I regulate my blood sugar, yesterday I didn’t have enough money for Protein so by the time I had tea I had the serious shakes – I’m surprised I didn’t drop my tea – I would
Live Below The Line – Day 2
Day 2 of living below the line is much the same as day 1. I have a stinking cold and so far I have eaten the same as yesterday. Porridge for breakfast made with water, although I indulged myself with a teaspoon of sugar today seeing as I saved 10p yesterday. Lunch was last night’s

Spiced salmon with Puy lentils & mint yogurt recipe – Recipes – BBC Good Food. I cooked this for tea tonight. We had Salmon steaks and not much to go with them until I found a packet of Merchant Gourmet ready cooked Puy Lentils in the cupboard. It was rather nice and took about 10
Cookies and Cream Fudge Brownies
We’ve got our lovely friends visiting this weekend so I’m baking some goodies ready for them. Last time they visited we were in the middle of Lent and my little boy had given up chocolate so I didn’t make any cakes with chocolate in, much to my friend’s little boy’s disgust So this time I’m
We’ve come a long way baby
I’ve just been for my first run since VLM. I’ve been really pleased with how quickly my legs felt recovered and was itching to go for a run. So in spite of the rain I set off first thing this morning to get it done. The first mile I felt like I was flying! The
