The second of the two formal evenings was a huge success. What fun!

Lots of pretty dresses and good looking suits!

We had an awesome evening with excellent food, good wine and great company.

We all know eachother a bit better by this stage, which is very nice! After dinner we met up in the piano bar, and then dancing after that.

Tomorrow is a big day and on Friday is my big party! Flower Power Garden Party! :) 50 friends will be joining us in our garden.

When everyone arrives I want to have a nice LCHF punch to offer... My idea is:

Mint leaves, lime, strawberries, alcohol (which?) and what more?

All tips are appreciated... :)

Yesterday my colleagues took me out to celebrate my upcoming birthday!  It's very big in Sweden when someone turns an even number with a zero on the end! (Like 40)! ;)

We had a champagne tasting which was fantastic, all very brut - dry dry dry! Yum! Then an awesome dinner:

• French Oysters
• Fresh tuna tartar
• Goose liver, clam and crayfish tail
• Lamb fillet with boilded beetroot
• Strawberries and cream
• Coffee and cream

A lovely evening! But not so lovely this morning - my head is not having such a good time right now! But I know it will get better soon! :)

On Friday is so called Swedish Mid-summer.  A very big day for celebrations! It's a day of spending time with friends and eating lots of good foods, especially herring and also strawberries!

So now we are having a great LCHF week! Eating strictly and getting rid of all 'cravings' so that we don't fall back or 'cheat' on Friday! I think we will all manage fine!

It's important to compliment yourself on doing well and celebrating this too - BUT not with foods! Buy a good magazine, or movie tickets, or a new skirt - whatever but do acknowledge that you are doing correct choices and are more the happier for doing so too! :)

I am part-owner of a private Montessori school and every summer at our summer party us teachers always get a present from all the parents.

This year we received a pretty flower in a lovely pot and to this chocolates, EXCEPT me, I got a bag of organic nuts! Now isn't that nice? I was truly chuffed and happy! So considerat of them as they know how I have struggled with my weight and that I eat LCHF! I work with wonderful people!
