Easter is over. Chocolate is a thing of the past. Exercise is my new mantra.

Welcome to yet another fresh start and a renewed focus.

Good news is that I didn't put on any weight over Easter, bad news...I didn't lose any either (I know, shock horror)

1 day down of my renewed focus and I'm doing good. I was STARVING last night though.

Today is another day, another busy day, another day of my diet.

Who am I kidding? No sugar before Easter?

Computer says noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ok, so sugar free week will need to start after Easter.

Some days I just feel blah...and today is one of those days.

I feel like a sausage stuck in a very tight skin...goodness, such a unique image...

Had to get into my comfy pants today.

I need to have a cleansing week. Yes, a cleansing week.

I met up with my two sister-in-laws this morning and over a sugar-filled "high tea" at Eurolounge, I was inspired. One of my beautiful sisters told me that she spent the week away from processed sugar and felt so much better! (Now, both my sister's in law are my ideal weight, so it's a little eye-opening to see that even skinny people need to be on a diet...constantly!)

So I too shall go SUGAR free this week.

Hmmm...should I get in some sugar before the weekend is over?

Bite sized naughtiness!

I know in advance that around 3pm every afternoon I want something naughty, and who are we kidding it would definitely be chocolate!

So, the best are the bite sized treats that you find in the supermarket. Sometimes you don't need a whole bar of chocolate, you just need the sweet smooth taste of chocolate in your mouth.

So cure your craving in moderation and portion control!

No exclamation mark can be given to the title of today's post.

I have put on 1/2kg this last week.

Combine stress and long hours of work...oh and the chinese take out over the weekend, and voila! A recipe for weight gain.

However, I did lose 2 kgs in the previous two weeks, so +1/2 kg...or 500gms...not THAT bad.

Need to commit to more exercise this week...blah!

I'm going to share with you a quick and healthy lunch idea.

Ever had a day where you just didn't feel like actually eating anything for lunch, but you knew that you had to eat something to avoid being hungry in the afternoon?

Ok, I know, strange question...but hear me out. Today is quite a warm day and I am not feeling like going to much effort.

Here's what I just had for lunch. I made a smoothie! I put in some yoghurt, frozen berries, soy milk (of course you can use lite milk), one small banana and blended it all together...wooshka! A healthy less than 5 min lunch!

Truth be known, I've had this as a breakfast smoothie (without the banana sometimes).

Go on, try it.
