The first goal was to wear my lovely pale green Ghost gown for Dinton Ball which took place last Saturday, 10 May. End of week 2 and 5 lbs lighter plus a good couple of inches gone too.

Low Carb Pizza – cauliflower base
This pizza base is made from cauliflower, so it’s low carb and suitable for anyone with a gluten or wheat allergy. It is surprisingly filling and tastes really good, don’t expect a crispy base as it remains soft and easier to eat with a knife and fork than your fingers.
Giving up sugar and reducing carbs – week 2
Cutting down on carbs and sugar has had an interesting and very welcome side effect on my children. I’ve also lost 5 lbs in two weeks and not felt hungry

Buckinghamshire Bake-Off
There is no pressure, no cooking on the day, no charming ladies encouraging you to ‘cream’ properly or chaps hovering criticising your ‘rubbing in’ method, you do all that at home with no one watching and bring your lovely cakes and biscuits along on the day.
WHO says sugar should ideally be below 5% of total energy intake per day
The World Health Organisation is launching a public consultation on its draft guidelines on sugar intake. In 2002 the WHO guildeline was 10%, it’s now looking like reducing to 5%.
Low Fat February
I’m determined to get back into shape and into my bikini for the summer. It feels like a long way off but February half term has just finished, the nights are getting lighter and March is in a week’s time, eek!
