Home baked Donut (doughnut?) treats
So as you probably know from my various posts, I am constantly battling with my weight. Most of all, the thing I find difficult is depriving myself any treats. So I thought I would scour Pinterest and YouTube for some healthier alternatives that taste the same as the original versions. Furthermore, I came upon the idea of making doughnut’s/ donuts but baking them rather than frying them. There are loads of recipes out there, but to be honest the cake batter ones just don’t cut it for me. I wanted a more traditional yeast dough recipe. This recipe is based on one by You Tuber and website owner of Bigger…

Healthy Tomato Soup and planning for weightloss
Since my last weightloss post, my weight hasn’t really changed. We went for our weekend in London and as I weigh in on a Saturday it meant I had 2 weeks where I didn’t really follow a full week on plan.

That week I was fairly good right up until the work picnic on the Thursday, I wasn’t that bad but I didn’t count the points. We were out on a running club Bingo night…

Back to running? Hopefully back to fitness?
Last year Last year, my running was starting to really come on. I joined Ilkeston Running Club the year before last. Although I found it hard I was enjoying the social side of running, and the health benefits. I mean, I definitely would not be the next Sally Gunnell. But I had brought my 5k down from 38 mins to 28. I also completed my first official 10k. All was looking great and so I entered a half marathon corporate challenge with work. As a part of my training, I decided to do a summer fell run. I had previously discovered a love of cross country, and any running that was more off…

Weight loss: My journey on Weightwatchers so far
So a couple of months ago, I decided that I was fed up of my weight and lack of weight loss. Last year I had lost weight with Slimming World, but the problem I find with Slimming World is fitting it in with my family. Don’t get me wrong, its a great diet that’s easy to follow as you don’t have to count lots of foods. I love to cook, so normal meal times are easy…but….. its so hard to fit this in with family life. If we go out on a day trip and want pre-pack sandwiches, or fish and chips or something, its nearly impossible to fit in with the…
