 Well.... for me.... with some good days with no temptations .... and you're feeling on top of this journey and you think you have everything down pat ....... the next day you're invited to have coffee with a friend at the nicest of coffee shops and all this wonderful pastries and cakes ask ..... ''please choose me''...... and this ''fight'' starts...... do I need to say more????

Well whats your thoughts on this..... do you feel like this poor old girl up there......

Come join in the fun and tell us what you think .... so any people.... so many thoughts....

G'day Mate's......

I was asked today what would you say is the difference between a diet and a healthy living lifestyle and that got me thinking....... I think a diet  ......a well balanced diet.... should be part of a healthy living lifestyle.  What do you think ....... tell us so that we can learn from what you're thoughts are and what you think a healthy lifestyle might look like.  What would you do if you need to loose 4 kg. quickly  if you're  going to that wedding....party... engagement.... What would you consider as a safe 'quick fix'..... 

We would love to hear from you... so come on join in the fun

Catch you later

Blessings to you all. 

Hi Guys .... Here where we live in the tropics of Australia it is really really hot and mucky at at this stage, air conditioners running the whole  day and not really feel like cooking ....

 What to do for dinner is the question........  Being on diet ...... or as I prefer to call it.... healthy living lifestyle.....It does not help the situation at all.  Not that cooking is the problem but the WHAT is the problem....

I am sure we all have been down that track at some stage in our lives...... more often than we want to admit. What was your solution to such a problem?  Tell us so when we get in such a predicament we will be able to help our self's, and get new and exiting ideas and  recipes for meals and snacks.

With all the tropical fruit in season right now maybe its time for a lovely dessert ....no cooking to get your house hot and no cooking to take up  the most of the day ... afternoon or evening So I came across this awesome idea.  I love strawberries because it is just so versatile in desserts. This is something different all together. Chocolate dipped strawberries is always a hit with the hole family but the calories are not ......... mmmmm..... (sigh,sigh)  So... looking for something fun and healthy I think this is it.  Fun in winter and summer, a all year rounder less calories and just as nice .... if not nicer.... Try this and let me know what you guys think

So what is this you may ask......   Fresh strawberry  dipped in Fluffy and then grilled over a flame, camp fire, or even a candle...... Very romantic..... Until crispy and fluffy.... It does fluff up.

If you're going to use wooden skewers just make sure you soak it in water for about a half an hour before using. Otherwise steel skewers work just as well....

So something new... have a go... try it and let me know that you think.

Have a have lovy day/evening/afternoon
Blessings for you all.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy having a nice brunch on a Saturday morning with hubby... but we get so board with just doing the same old same old bacon, fried ... or scrambled, eggs and toast....so I went to see if there is any other kind of interesting things to do with eggs that does not cost the world and is quick, easy, tasty and healthy.  Well that might by a big ask to try to get all that in one recipe I thought..... but I think I did find THE one.

Fish oil.... pills or produce

So what do you guys think about fish oil ....... There is a lot of benefits in fish oil as we all know, but my question is..... after I saw how much pills we have to drink on a ad on television today....  to make it almost worth our while ...

Come on join in the fun and lets hear what you will do or think.
