SWEET POISON

I have not eaten Sugar for nearly 5 weeks now. Results are worth it. Not that it has taken much effort anyway in the sense of avoiding cakes etc. The hardest thing is to remember to look at what the sugar content is in a product. When I see that there is over 22% sugar in just one serve of a jar of a particular pasta sauce I am still amazed. Anyway if you are interested in finding out more for yourself have a read of the book SWEET POISON and it will answer all the questions. All I can say is that from my perspective and what is relevant in my life this book is just what I needed to read at just the right time. Sooner would have been better. Everything he says has been true for me and has personally worked. I have gone down a dress size already. I do not use scales so I actually have no idea what I actually weigh. But cloths are fitting me and the bloating is less and the energy is increasing. I woke up today and I have obviously shifted some more weight. I simply feel lighter. My appetite control centre is starting to work. I am not constantly looking for food and I am noticing when I am full. I am also noticing when I simply am not hungry. Anyway if you are interested in learning a litle more about your health then I recommend this book. I also recommend taking on board the suggestions and giving it a go.

The second of newest crop of pineapples. I cannot tell you how good this was. I have a few slices left and am just about to devour the last of it. YUMMY.


Dancing the night away with friends on Friday night. Nothing like a party of local people on a deck in the cool of night.

Special Friends

I had a special friend visit me a few weeks ago and I had such a lovely visit. When we dropped him back to Caloundra we went for a walk along the board walk and here are a few shots of that lovely Sunday afternoon. It's hot and muggy here atthe moment and I wish I wasn't decluttering my house at the moment and I wish I could take off some place nice but alas life goes on. So I looked at these pictures that I had not posted as yet and thought I would share them with you. They make me feel good.

It does not matter how much Graeme stands on his tippy toes he can't reach Mick.

I can see why this man is riding his bike along here late on a Sunday afternoon.

I have another very special and dear friend visiting me this wekend for a few days. I am excited. Hopefully ww will get lots of opportunities for some good photos.
