Hello Monday! Good morning from @misslucy_lou And me

Hello Monday! 
Good morning from @misslucy_lou
And me..
Have a great week.
.
.
I like to wake up and start each day with 5 minutes of gratitude for everything in my life that I appreciate and love- could be absolutely anything-small or big. .
.
I find the more grateful you are to the Universe,  often the more it gives you back. .

This video clip was taken of me when the weather was hot and sunny not torrential rain like today which means riding today was cancelled

It's so special horseriding along a beach. It makes you feel happy, blessed and so grateful to be healthy and well and lucky to be able to do such a thing.

Its the weekend and sometimes you just have to!

Its the weekend and sometimes you just have to! .
.
However I only kept the bun on the burger for the purposes of this photo 
And then.... I removed it.
.
.
If I'm going to have a carb treat with yummy thrice-cooked chips
then I would never have a 2nd loading of carbs with the burger bun. .
One portion of simple carbs (not the healthier option of complex carbs) is plenty!  Simple carbs such as bread, pastries, cakes, pasta etc give a sugar spike to your blood sugar levels giving you an energy high and then a rapid low.
.
.
So here we have a yummy healthy home-made beefburger, ( minus bun) gherkin, slice of cheese, bacon, fried onions, salad, and home-cooked fries. 
Thank you @hungrybear.tk delish! .

Healthy breakfasts dont need to be boring and can be attractively plated and colourful

Healthy breakfasts dont need to be boring and can be attractively plated and colourful. .
Organic scrambled eggs, organic streaky bacon, smashed avocado with chillis, wilted spinach, roasted sweet potato. .
If you make each plate of food appealing, it can help you regulate portion control and also create each meal to be a more sensory total experience. Always eat and focus on what you're eating rather than watching TV or reading. It's not good to eat on the move. The brain won't register you have eaten and you will remain hungry.
.
Eating with mindfulness can help remind the brain to send a timely message to the stomach when you are actually full.  This will stop you binge eating or over-eating and help you to to maintain an optimum healthy weight.

Tbt to when I was probably around 15 or 16 years old

Tbt to when I was probably around 15 or 16 years old.
.
When there was no social media, comparison anxiety, face-tune, filters, body-shaming, body-image worries or a need to feel compelled to look a certain way, to be a certain size or body shape.
.
We all wanted to look our best and wear the latest fashions. .
We didn't eat fast food as it didn't really exist yet, or snack continuously throughout the day. .
So weight issues were less than nowadays as we ate a healthier and less processed diet. .

What a genuinely lovely and down-to-earth family they are.
Just the same as you now see on ITV's "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" .
