Hi!

We have had some beautiful sunny days here in Edinburgh this week so I have been making the most of it with lunch and coffee in the garden every day.

I also attended a charity event this week in Dundas Castle, just a few miles away. Absolute bliss sipping Kir Royale in the gardens and enjoying a delicious lunch followed by a book talk by an Edinburgh author and fashion show by a local department store.

Now I know why I wanted to "work" from home!

Have a great week

Love

Feature Article : 7 Steps to Success with Weight loss

1. Finally Decide

Without a decision and a commitment to succeed nothing will happen. Finally decide for once and for all that you are going to lose weight. And start right away - not Monday (after you have eaten the cupboard empty over the weekend) and not "sometime". If you really mean to lose weight you will start today, right this minute. Until you're ready to do that you're not ready to lose weight.

2. Know why

Be clear about why you want to lose weight because without the motivation of knowing why you are embarking on a program to lose weight you are lost! The longer your list of reasons to succeed the better it will be. If you want some help in creating a longer list take a look at
Reasons for weight loss

3. Plan

Decide how are you going to tackle this project to lose weight. Because it is a goal worthy of a plan and "failing to plan is planning to fail" as they say. Decide above all what habits you need and want to change. What new routines do you want to start? What will you do differently starting right now?

4. Keep your motivation going

Every day remind yourself of why you want to lose weight by reading your list of reasons and taking action. If you need some tips to stay motivated, see the great tips at the http://www.weight-loss-motivation-program.com site.

5. Do it early

Good intentions tend to disappear as we get busy with our day. Whatever you plan to do, do it early before anything else can get in the way. If you have decided that exercise is part of your plan and if you can face it, do it early in the morning. If you want to start eating healthily, shop for and prepare your meals in advance before you get too tired to bother.

6. Monitor and Adjust

It's all very well having a great plan to lose weight but the theory and the reality don't always match up (no doubt, you've worked this out from past experience). Sometimes we decide on a plan which is just too ambitious. Sometimes we think it will be easier than it is. Keep reviewing your plans as you learn what works and what doesn't. Adjust them as you find out what fits your life, your personality and your circumstances. Better to have a less ambitious plan than to throw in the towel completely.

7. Celebrate

Celebrate every pound lost with a calorie-free treat! It can be as little as a star on a chart or as much as a diamond necklace (depending on your budget) as long as you mark the occasion somehow. Losing weight is a challenge for anyone so never beat yourself up about how far you have to go - all that matters is that you are making the journey.

Recipe of the week : Spanish Pork

This one is quick to prepare but needs long slow cooking in the oven so best to leave it for the weekend. Serve with green vegetables and a little rice.

340 calories a serving.

Serves 4

olive oil spray
450g (1lb) lean diced stewing pork
1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 green (bell) pepper, deseeded and chopped
100g (4oz) button mushrooms, sliced
400g (14oz) can chopped tomatoes
300ml (half pint) dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
finely grated rind one lemon
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (optional)
4 pimento stuffed green olives, sliced (optional)

Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees Centigrade (325F/Gas Mark3). Spray a large pan or Dutch Oven with oil and saute the pork until browned on all sides. Add the onions, garlic, pepper and mushrooms and stir fry with the pork until the onions are starting to soften. Add the tomatoes, wine, oregano, rosemary and lemon rind and bring to boiling point. Transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish if necessary, cover and put in the oven for two to two and a half hours until the pork is tender. Sprinkle with the parsley and olives to serve.
