Hi!
The kitchen building work saga continues. Is it only me who gets stressed out by having a handful of workmen (nice though they are) hammering and sawing away all day and then even more stressed when they don't turn up. Anyway it's starting to look more like a kitchen and less like a building site now so we must be getting somewhere. And they even asked me to choose paint yesterday so they must be thinking about decorating sometime in the future :)
Never thought I'd miss cooking so much (or at least eating the end product so much) but I do.
My two boys are missing the dishwasher most of all because they are having to help wash up every evening - I keep telling them they are lucky because I was 30 before I had my first dishwasher :)
Have a great weekend
Love
Janice Elizabeth

Feature Article : What Are You Really Hungry For?
I had an interesting email exchange this week with another weight loss coach who is moving onto pastures new - looking at the whole field of human potential. She reminded me that when people who are overweight find what they are really hungry for, weight problems are often no longer an issue.
So many of us eat too much because we are unhappy or stressed or bored without noticing how many calories we are putting away. We say we can't help ourselves but often we are looking in the wrong place. Overeating can be a symptom of something deeper that is wrong rather than just a cause of being overweight.
Of course, these emotions are part of the normal human condition and it's the rare being who is always happy (and quite honestly if we were happy all the time we wouldn't enjoy it so much - the contrast in our experience helps us appreciate happiness when we have it).
But if you are feeling less than great most of the time and eating to make yourself feel better, you will do better to tackle the root cause of your problems rather than trying to tackle your overeating with diet and willpower. Sometimes it just takes facing up to the issues you have been sweeping under the carpet rather than numbing your emotions with food.
Think hard about what you need to change in your life and then start tackling your issues one small step at a time. Get help if you need to.
And if you think your weight problems are just because you love food and you eat too much, then pause for a moment and consider this.
At the very least if you are unhappy with your weight then you are not valuing yourself enough to make the choices about food and exercise which are in your own best interests. What is it that makes you do that when every human being is as precious as the next?

Recipe of the week : Rainbow Macaroni Cheese
The addition of vegetables makes this version of macaroni cheese more nutritious and lighter than the traditional one. Serve with salad.
Serves 2
490 calories a serving
125g (4oz) dried macaroni
125g (4oz) small broccoli florets
1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced
50g (2oz) frozen peas
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon plain (all-purpose) flour
200ml (1 cup) milk
100g (3.5oz) half fat Cheddar cheese, grated
1 tablespoon fresh bread crumbs
Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile steam the broccoli, peas and carrot for about 6 minutes until tender. Melt the butter in a pan. Stir in the flour and cook gently, stirring for one minute. Gradually add the milk stirring all the while until the sauce is bubbling, thick and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and then add three quarters of the cheese and stir until melted. Drain the macaroni and add to the sauce along with the vegetables, heating through for a while if necessary. Pour the mixture into a heat proof dish, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bread crumbs and brown under a hot grill (broiler).
