'daily life'
They say it's summer, and after 4 days of almost 30 degrees heat in London, I expected warmth this morning when I saw sunshine. But, on my bike to work, my toes were a bit chilly, I must admit!
For my 40th birthday last week I got such a perfect present. It describes me soooo well! :)
Just love it!
Good Morning, let the stress begin!
One of my best friends (going 34 years back) is a top photographer in South Africa. Monica (Monica Dart Photography) did a wedding where FJS Productions were doing the videography. It was the wedding of the world famous photographer, Chris Simpson.
Monica says it was the most emotional wedding ever! Watch, enjoy, think about it and wipe your tears! Beautiful Cape Town in the background!
Great work!
An emotional and beautiful celebration of life and love.
Fried fresh fish in butter with salt & pepper! Added then heavy cream in the pan after frying the fish and then I had a great gravy! To this mashed creamy broccoli, (boiled in cream then mashed).
Very yum and very nice outside in the sunshine after a day of gardening and weeding!
Hope you are enjoying your Saturday too!?
Today - no kids at work! It's a teachers planning day. So I started off with a good and filling breakfast!
My yum LCHF sandwich! Recipe coming later ;)
So now we are off to do some 'team work activity' - hopt it's fun!
Weekend difficulties:
- Friday evening snacks - chips, popcorn, salty nuts, alcohol.
- Sweets for the kids, temptation.
- Fast foods / junk food - easy, quick, effortless.
- Afternoon coffee or tea with friends.
- Dinners.
- Sunday lunch and coffee with family.
LCHF weekend tips:
- Eat extra fat with your lunch and dinner so that when 'others' take out the chips or nuts you are not hungry or tempted. Maker sure you have raw nuts at home, in case. Salted nuts are still better than chips or popcorn.
- If your kids eat candy on w.ends then shop for them AFTER you have had your meal. When your tummy is feeling full it won't want all the junk out there.
- If you want chocolate, go for the 90%-100% cocoa, still carbs but better than other chocolates. This obviously depends on how 'sugar sensitive' your body is!!!
- Going to friends for coffee, offer to bring a plate of something: Cheese, chocolate balls made from coconut oil, coconut flakes and 90-100% chocolate, or berries with whipped cream.
- Dinner with friends or family? Inform them that you are eating LCHF, changed lifestyle. They don't need to fix anything extra for you but that you will be avoiding the carbs and hope to just have some extra butter on your plate.
- Children always choose sweet before other things. Meet half way, sparkling water with berries instead of soda, barbecue instead of pizza...
- Red wine is a good alternative, then dry white. Beer is a total no no! That's the equivalent of drinking a loaf of white bread!
- Vodka, mint, lime, soda water and 2 frozen raspberries is an alternative for a summer drink...
Enjoy the weekend and have a fat and healthy one! :)
After a breakfast rich in fat and protein I hardly ever need much lunch, at least not if I am going to be eating a dinner later on.
For me this was perfect: Avocado, mayonnaise and seaweed salad! Very yum and filling...
Almost summer weather today! A whole day outside, planting flowers and cleaning up in the garden at work! Now I am enjoying a cup of coffee with cream! Life is good in the sun...
At last I am going to start to translate my web sight into English... I guess it will take some time, but I have to start somewhere!
A cup of hot tea at my side...
