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. . . . . . .

The first photo of me is the before the treatment

The first photo of me is the before the treatment. The last photo in this series of video clips and pics is the after treatments. . Thank you @facegym for my lovely treatment . My treatments shown here in my video clips are a signature electrical and an cryo oxygen. . The session included: a rigorous lifting manual massage, then a ball massage, then the electrical current which very strong and definitely not relaxing, then a gentle massage with a comb type probe and then with a piece of jade and finally the oxygen cryo. . My face now definitely has more definition after the treatment and my skin looks plumped and glowing. . I would love to be able to treat my face and skin to this facial workout more regularly. . I like to look good for my age without resorting to surgery, botox or fillers. This treatment is definitely fabulous. . These video clip have no filters. . . . . . . .

After an early morning Zumba dance class today, I decided to eat a more generous portioned breakfast than I have been eating on the other days when my fitness workout is more Pilates based

After an early morning Zumba dance class today, I decided to eat a more generous portioned breakfast than I have been eating on the other days when my fitness workout is more Pilates based. . However lets call this brunch as I waited 16 hours from my last meal of yesterday to 10am today to eat. . This is my intermittent fasting regime where I wait 16-18 hours between dinner and breakfast. I then squeeze the only other meal of the day into a small window of time before 6pm again. . This is my easy to do solution to an ongoing lifestyle weight maintenance ( NOT diet) when I know I am going to need to be feeling and looking my best. . And this is how I help my clients when they want to lose weight and have been historically unsuccessful over the years with yo-yo dieting. . Its not calorie restrictive, however it is restrictive on cutting out all sugar, white simple carbs like potatoes, cakes, pastry, pasta, and most wheat and grains. . There is sourdough toast in my photo today but sometimes a little of what you fancy is better than denying yourself and craving it. . And yes, I did put butter on the toast too as eating some healthy fats will satisfy and help you feel fuller longer. . . . . .
