Hi!
I was just thinking the other day "Wouldn't life be so much easier if supermarkets only stocked good fresh food and there was no junk to buy. And fast food restaurants, bakeries and the like disappeared."
If that happened, we'd be more or less forced to make good food choices (although we still might eat too much of the good stuff - we're less likely to go to town on it).
Unlikely to happen, I know, but then a girl can dream can't she? Then again, I might be out of a job along with all those in the junk food industry....
If you want to lose weight this June, why not try acting as if junk food didn't exist for a month?
Have a great week
Love

Feature Article : Be a Domestic God(dess)
Scenario One : The house is a state. The kids are running around creating even more of a mess. There's nothing in for dinner. You think about which take away number to call and reach for a chocolate bar to soothe away your stress while flicking through the channels on TV. You've got a headache. Why can't the kids be quiet for once?
Scenario Two : You come in from work. The breakfast dishes and last night's dinner dishes are all over the kitchen. You're starving hungry but there's no way you're going to start cooking in all that mess. Off you go to the golden arches for a bite to eat. Just as well you went to the gym at lunch time to work off some of those calories. The dishes are still there when you come back. You slump down on the sofa with a drink and a snack.
Scenario Three : You spend 15 minutes in the morning before you start your day tidying up as fast as you can and another 15 minutes in the evening. You get some exercise 3 times a week with an energetic cleaning routine for at least 30 minutes. Your house looks great and you stop stressing about the state of everything. You plan and shop for a few simple to prepare meals once or twice a week and you always have something delicious and healthy available for dinner - and a clean kitchen to cook it in.
Mmmh - No prizes for guessing which scenario wins in the weight loss stakes.
If you recognize yourself a bit in the first two scenarios, why not turn over a new leaf and start putting more energy into your home. You burn about 30 to 50 calories every 10 minutes depending the effort you put in! If you're not responsible for housework maybe your partner would be delighted to get more help. Or you could give yourself the task of clearing out the garage, basement or attic or even do some decorating. And your garden may be crying out for some attention too.
If you have no cooking skills, it's something that we all need to learn so start with the basics and teach yourself or try to find a course locally. You'll be amazed at what you can whip up in no time at all with a little effort. Just remember not to go overboard when you learn how to bake a cake....
Maybe becoming a domestic God(dess) might be further than you want to go with this, but you'll be amazed at how applying a few basic skills and a bit of effort will go in making you feel good about yourself and your home - and what a relatively easy way it is to fit in exercise and improve your eating habits too.

Recipe of the week : Buckwheat Pancakes
A couple of pancakes with fresh fruit and maybe a teaspoon of syrup or sugar makes a great breakfast.
115 calories a pancake
Makes 8
50g (2oz) wholemeal flour
50g (2oz) buckwheat flour
1 egg
300ml (half pint) skimmed milk
8 teaspoons olive oil
Sift the two flours together into a bowl adding in any grains remaining in the sieve. Beat the egg with the milk and gradually stir into the flour forming a smooth batter. Set aside for 20 minutes then stir again. To make each pancake, heat a teaspoon of the oil in a non-stick frying pan or skillet and add 2 tablespoons of the batter allowing the mixture to spread over the base of the pan. Cook for two minutes or so until the underside is golden brown and then flip over and cook the other side for another minute. Keep the pancake warm in the oven while you make the remaining pancakes.
