The WW Foodie

A few years ago, D and I instituted the practice of aiming for at least one “CNO” a month. Which, for the uninitiated (i.e. everyone apart ...

Apologies: it all went a bit quiet there. Excuses time: I've been a little under the weather. So far this year I have had a poorly paw (...

In March, we have decided to theme our meal planning by picking a book (or website) each week to cook from.  Week 1 saw us cracking open ...

I’ve been following the 5:2 plan for 10 weeks now and things are going well. Strictly speaking, I had one week of 4:3 (which was bloody awf...

We decided to visit Brighton on something of a whim. Despite growing up in deepest, darkest Essex I don’t really know the South coast that ...

We were told, while on a walking tour of Brighton, that the seaside city has more restaurants than anywhere else in the country outside of L...

Time seems to be getting away from me at the moment.  I still haven't got round to putting my up my tales of adventure in Brighton (for ...

During the month of March, we will be cooking our books. Which is to say, we've both selected two recipe books (or magazines or websites...

Huh.  Well the Great Slowdown continues apace so I have no particular updates on the weight loss front.  But, but, but!  I have got over m...

Disappointment 1 We should probably have known better than to go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day. It’s asking for trouble. Our main p...

You now that I've said that 5:2 is hard but doable? Well, 4:3 starts to tip over into too hard and not doable. We fasted on Monday, Wed...

Let’s dispense with the diet chat for now and focus on something much more interesting – FOOD. Because the whole point of putting yourself ...

The blog has become rather diet centric in recent posts.  I suppose that is just a reflection of what happens when one starts a new regime a...

We have come to the end of January and thus a whole calendar month’s worth of intermittent fasting. I’ve completed four full weeks – thre...

If you have ever travelled up to York or Harrogate, you may well be familiar with Betty’s Tea Rooms. The York branch was never without a qu...

You were promised a Meal Planning Monday and, my friends, you shall HAVE a Meal Planning Monday. Not that I flatter myself that the majorit...

I think that we might need to up our game with the meal planning a little bit as neither this week nor last week have I felt inspired to blo...

When we last saw our heroine, she was looking forward to a lazy weekend resting her poorly foot (or paw as Lesley called it – I much prefer ...

This week has seemed very long and, as I write this on Friday afternoon, I am looking forward to a weekend of doing very little. I managed...

I managed a 4lb loss this week following the 5:2 plan. That’s a pretty satisfying result for any first week back, but doubly so when you co...

So firstly – news from the scales. Today I weighed in after my first full week, post-Christmas, on 5:2 and recorded… (drum roll please…) a ...

Happy new year lovely blog readers! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I basically decided to do the square root of FA over the Ch...

2016 proved a bad year to be a celebrity or, indeed, a fan of democracy. But leaving all of that aside, the really important issue is what ...

I'm braising red cabbage at the moment, which is filling the house with a very (for me) Christmassy scent. I make this recipe pretty mu...

I am unclear as to when a stew ceases to be a stew and becomes a tagine. I'm calling this a stew, despite the obviously Moroccan influen...
