Dabbling with Intermittent fasting
You know that I have done various posts on the subject of my weight (here is just one). This time I dallied with the world of Intermittent Fasting. I had done a fair bit of research on it in the past, I had the original 5:2 diet book and just recently I’d read a lot about 16:8 or 20:4. To those of you who do not know about intermittent fasting, you could start by reading this post here or the one I linked to above. I am not sure but I think the original guide was the one by Dr Michael Mosley. Intermittent fasting is supposed to have a plethora of health benefits, not…

May favourites and discoveries
Now that May is coming to a close, I thought I would do a post of things I have been liking – a “May Favourites” post but its also a “things I have discovered this month” post!

Happy new year 2018 and goals
Well this may seem like a really late post, but I have been laid up with really bad flu since new years eve. It was my daughters 18th Birthday on New years eve and its almost like my body waited until the end of her birthday, and then to stop working for a couple of weeks. I was fine until midnight, then went downhill so fast and I had what I think was the worst illness I have ever had. So for me new year is only just starting! Just because you have to embarrass them a little, here is a picture of Chloe – what a gorgeous baby!! Not…

Healthy Pizza – A guest post by Ewan Buda
My son who is 12 years old has been given a project to do at school. He has had to come up with a healthy recipe and present it in an innovative way. I thought it would be nice for him to takeover and post a page on the website, so here it is…………… Year 8 Spice Design Takeaway Homework Project October 2017 Most people think that fast food has got to be unhealthy, I am going to prove them wrong!
