Thank you for all hundreds of likes for my last post

Thank you for all hundreds of likes for my last post. I was not expecting so many. . If you saw this last bikini body post of mine please could you comment on the following: Did you like because.. I'm an older woman body-confident enough to wear a bikini? Because I don't filter -what I post is the reality? Because there were boobs!? Because I looked ok? Informative nutrition and lifestyle eating tips? Because as a woman yourself I hopefully am inspiring you to be confident and not care what others say . Please let me know your thoughts as I will adjust my posts accordingly. . Btw, This is my first home cooked lunch continuing on the same protein and good complex carbs eating regime. Chicken breast pan sauteed in coconut oil. Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. . . .

When you’re feeling low and dark Winter nights are closing in, and you’re craving not those good healthy complex carbs like vegetables and pulses, but the unhealthy white simple carbs, such as white bread, potatoes, chips, pasta, cakes, pastries and biscuits

Today’s Stripes

Today's Stripes. Sloppy, Sunday comfy dressing. . My posts are always non-filtered and exactly how I look that day. . It shouldn't be necessary to filter, Facetune, or create a social media enhanced perfect version of yourself. . NO celebrity or client I have ever styled or dressed for the Red Carpet has had a perfect body or skin. You can always aspire to be the best version of yourself but your imperfections are what make you unique. . Be confident enough in your own self-image and body-image to not judge or compare yourself to others, especially others' fitered Instagram posts. They're not real. . Tshirt dress: Primark Sweater: Zadig and Voltaire Metallic trainers: Superga Specs: People . . . . .

Sunday breakfast

Sunday breakfast. . Poached eggs and smashed avocado on a slice of granary toast, with chopped chillies to sprinkle on top snd some watercress snd spinach leaves. A hot water with a slice of lemon to start and an Expresso to finish. Sunday is one of the few days I have a slice of toast treat. The rest of the week is wheat free as much as possible. A mostly wheat and grain free lifestyle helps me to keep at an even weight and not bloat. Also leaving a minimum of 12 hours from my last meal of the previous evening to the next day breakfast or first meal of the day gives the digestive system a rest for good gut health. . . . . .

Sun, sea and seafood

Sun, sea and seafood. . The last day of an Indian Summer with lunch by the sea with a healthy but delicious Asian fusion mix of scallop, seabass and tempura prawn on a bed of vegetables, noodles and peanuts. . It's so easy to eat healthily when it's presented beautifully and tastes delcious. Its all about the flavours. . Even when you are cooking at home, however simple or basic the recipe or meal, if you take a bit of extra care and time to make it look appetising on the plate, you will feel more satisfied on a smaller portion. You will crave less of the unhealthy sugary carb laden foods which give high/low spikes to your blood sugar and energy levels. . . . . .
