Ask your friends or your family how they see you?

Ask your friends or your family how they see you? The answer will always be more positive than how you believe they perceive you and how you see yourself. You will be so surprised So Think of one word to describe ...... "How you see yourself. And then, "How you think others see you. "How you'd like others to see you." And start asking.... . Did your three answers match? I want you to love what you see in the mirror. The same as how others see you. That unique, glamorous, confident, sexy, ageless beautiful woman who doesn't compare herself to others. . . . Beyourbestyou

Good morning. Good Friday . My happy place by the sea with dogs @misslucy_lou and family for Easter weekend.

Good morning. Good Friday . My happy place by the sea with dogs @misslucy_lou and family for Easter weekend. . This picture was taken by my daughter on our morning dog walk after 4 days of the 5 day Prolon intermittent fast-mimicking 1000 calorie a day diet plan. My daughter commented I was looking significantly slimmer. I don't know how much weight I've lost as I prefer to not weigh as I don't believe obsessing with weight or calories is a healthy mindset. . The scientifically researched mix of vitamin supplements together with the packeted vegan soups, nut and cocoa bars and fresh olives were actually really tasty and quite easy to manage for 5 days without feeling faint or too hungry or deprived. I do like my food. . Prolon do caution no exercise during this period, however I did have a yoga class and dog walks and was fine. . Intermittent fasting is how I live day to day always leaving 12 hours after my last meal to my first of the following day. And when I can, 2 consecutive days a week, leaving 16-18 hours overnight ( an early supper, no breakfast, late lunch) . Not difficult. . So these 5 days mimicked this way of eating but with reduced calorific intake. Much the same as the Michael Mosely 1000 cal a day eating plan for helping to reverse type 2 diabetes. . Happy Easter everyone. I'm now looking forward to family Easter weekend with proper meals which are still healthy and also a bite or two or three of a dark chocolate Easter egg. . @prolonuk @flipside_pr

There is a wonderful local old fashioned-style greengrocers on the New Kings Road london SW6

There is a wonderful local old fashioned-style greengrocers on the New Kings Road london SW6 that sells an amazing array of loose vegetables-no plastic wrap to be seen- and all sorts of yummy health foods too. . These sunflower, broccoli and kale micro greens have a higher concentration of vitamins, phytonutrients, antioxidants and minerals than normal greens contain. Microgreens are also rich in enzymes, which enable them to be more easily digested. . This lunch I threw together looks huge on the plate but is mostly the microgreens, avocado ( for healthy fats) and wilted spinach ( for iron) With a salmon fillet ( for omega3) griddled for a crispy skin in extra virgin olive oil (healthy oils) . . The sauerkraut is for good gut health, a tablespoon eaten before the meal, . and a couple of olives can also act as a natural probiotic as well as all their other antioxidant and healthy oil benefits. . . . . .

@bbc5live @emmabarnett . Chatting about age- and being real on BBC5live at 10.50am this morning with Emma Barnett. . Why I no longer feel the need to fib about my age even when I reach another milestone birthday. Looking in the mirror each morning isn't always the best as i still feel like my younger self inside but the mirror tells a different story. . When we were in our teens or twenties, we aged ourselves up to appear more wordly and maybe to be taken more seriously by those older than us especially for career advancement. . However when we reached our 40s and onwards we fibbed and lopped years off to remain as long as possible in the previous decade. . Now that we look after ourselves better with a healthy lifestyle and diet, nutrition knowledge, fitness and beauty regimes, we can look our best and be proud of how we look naturally whatever our age. . I'm proud to look the way I do in my 60s. . Of course I would like to look like I did when I was in my 20s but I'll settle for being the best version of how I am now. . I've had amazing life experiences in my 60plus years and two wonderful children. Ive no need to fib any longer. . I want to inspire women of all ages. . . . . . .
