I am trying to lose some weight and I am slowly turning my diet around and I do emphasize slowly. The start of 2010 is not going too badly, alot of people I bet would disagree, ahem but I’m happy where I’m at for the moment. January was really a tester month to get into the swing of things and towards the end of the month, my hunger for junk has diminished somewhat.

That junk food is being replaced with healthy foods such as hearty meals, cereal, fruit, vegetables, even bloody broccoli and some weight watcher snacks, oh and Coke Zero and plenty of water.

I am also going to start weighing myself every week on Monday as I am coming round to the fact that ‘if you can’t measure it you can’t manage it‘. So that will be fun

For my birthday I got an Amazon Gift Card and bought two recipe books:

• Ainsley Harriott’s Low Fat Meals in Minutes
• Mens Health Muscle Chow

I only just started using Ainsley’s book and made a cracking meal called Cajun chicken fillets with Spanish orange salad (below) and it was absolutely gorgeous. Looking forward to trying out more dishes form this excellent book!

So that’s really it, onward and upward.
