Positivity, that's what matters now...

I really got inspired by Madeleine.
It is nice to see this kind of eating being a life style...
That is , what I could change about my life...
I also know, it is not a transformation over night. I have to work on it...
Have to change my thinking...
Have to make myself feel this is the right thing to do !!
Have to change my habits !!
Have to change my shopping list !!
Have to make time to prepare food...because, if you are not use to eating food with so many restrictions, it takes more energy to make something you didn't do before and you are not used to.
My normal cooking is easy, because I always done it like that.
So my new cooking has to become a habit , so I can soon say, I always done it like that, then I think it becomes easy. It will be in my blood stream...it will be exactly what I need , what I want, what I like, there for I will not need anything else...
But I still have BUT
What about, when you go on holiday?
If you like to try different cuisine?
What then ?
Being honest, I don't know , and I will have to answer this ...But speaking out loud...I like to try new things :( Hmmm...
Even BBQ at friends house seems less enjoyable than ever !! Because everything I looked at was No No :( so , Or am going to stop going to BBQ's or I will have to make them all eat only what I allow?
Am making myself so popular ! Ha ha..
Or maybe, I can make myself popular by going to someones house for the party, but tell them I will cook and bring the food over. Fun....No, No , No, I can't do any of this things....

This lifestyle really needs will power !
Because brain, that funny but clever thing, will always try to trick you and question everything! So how about I just say I CAN !  Simple as that !!
Well we will see the future in the future ;) But for today....?

Today, I was good...well good as I could be ;) Only had sugar in my tea and coffee and I also cut down from tea spoon to just a 1/2.
This is a start . Right ?
Other than that, am not aware of having any more sugar in my diet.
 Today, just a quick fix beef burgers , grilled aubergine, tomato and pepper and few olives.
Didn't have much time to think about today's or
yesterday's dinner. I just got a bit creative while pulling things out of the fridge.
Hope next time I can impress you and myself firstly with something more interesting ...

Please feel free to comment, as I would like to know, how are you, getting on with your diet or maybe a life style?  Lets inspire each other...Would love to hear about your frustrations and your point of view on Madeleine's 6 weeks challenge!?


I'll be back at the end of the week to let you know how am I doing here ;)

  1. Vanilla, I like that: think positive and say to yourself "I CAN". That's definitely a good start for a lifestyle change ;-). I think after those six weeks I will have found my own way as I don't want to be too strict and never have the chance to treat myself a little bit. When you go on holiday enjoy yourself, try new things, eat sweets but don't get crazy lol. You know have a bit of this and a bit of that but not too much otherwise you come home and you are frustrated and maybe even a bit angry with yourself. Does this make sense to you? Cinnamon x

    1. I am doing it for 2 weeks. On my holiday, I will try to be as good as I can be. Am sure there will be treats everywhere ;D We will be cycling, swimming, walking...I think balance is the best thing in everything in life...Eat healthy, have a treat, sometime and stay active !! That is how I see it. Still I am going to try to make treats that will be more healthy for us...and use stevia, honey, maple syrup and agave nectar instead of sugar. I think I need a change ;D
