Sorry for the radio silence. I had a nice Christmas but it was so easy to compare to previous Christmas periods when I have managed to do far more, it was rather disappointing. The diet has been going really well, I had to have a day off on Christmas day – it’s simply not Christmas without roast potato’s, gravy and lots of wine! Like many people I have really got into the super healthy diet since New Year. I have to say I have a new found respect for people on diets. I have always been fortunate to be slim and quite athletic so I’ve never really had to restrict much before – it’s so hard, its like a full time job just trying to work out what I can eat each day.

I was reading a thriller the other night and the lead character mentioned a cheese baguette. I’ve never been crazy about cheese or bread but the though of that cheese baguette was all encompassing. I have absolutely know idea who did the murder in the end  and what’s more I don’t really care I’d kill just for bread so I can’t judge! I think I have had a bit more energy so that’s spurred me on to continue with the strict diet. We are so lucky in this day and age that there are so many amazing recipes on the internet, even had some great ones out of the paper and Tesco’s magazine. I love these Paleo banana pancakes for breakfast.

Although I have been quite creative with experimental baking to try and have nice things that are aloud on the diet I was very excited to find Paleo friendly ice cream in Waitrose!

I had my hair all chopped for a change and a waitress in a Thai Restaurant that we frequently go to said I looked like Marilyn Monroe. We all fell about laughing as I’m about as curvy as a ruler and GINGER but a girl has to take a complement when she can ay?!?

I’m seeing my Specialist tomorrow, I have no clue what he will suggest – I suspect he may just start banging his head on the desk and I may just join him!
