21.01.2022 I decided to make my own veggie stock yesterday- what you'll do when you have the day off. Turned into chicken and veggie stock because I had a BBQ chicken carcass in the fridge. Very easy - roasted chicken bones and some veggies - onion, tomato, celery, capsicum and garlic in olive oil. Once roasted, chucked everything into pot with thyme and Bay leaves and peppercorns. Covered with filtered water and cooked for 1 hour.... Will freeze and use next time I make soup. Great way to use up veggie scraps See more

21.01.2022 Congratulations to Mom and Dad for losing almost 4kgs in their first couple of days on HealthPointe.

15.01.2022 I finished my first Maths test last night in 32 years!!!!!! And I did reasonably well - 76%. Quite proud of myself. It's part of one of the enabling courses before I start my degree. Now I'm onto Human Biology - something in haven't studied since I was 12 - so should be interesting

15.01.2022 If you are like me and get eaten by mosquitoes, try this - rub lemon juice on the bite to stop itch

14.01.2022 Did you know: The Microbiome - the trillions of bacteria that inhabit us - weighs up to twice as much as our brains.

12.01.2022 Week 20: nothing, nothing, nothing this week. Started off well early in the week but don't know what happened- seem to be a bit stuck on 72kgs. Doing exercise everyday - mainly gym but walking as well. Anyway we'll see how I go this week. Must say it's been sonics this summer to wear shorts and bathers and not feel self conscious

12.01.2022 Week 18: Was not successful in losing anymore weight - in fact put on 600g. Lost that within 2 days of coming back from Melbourne Just want to maintain what I've achieved until after Christmas and New Year festivities

11.01.2022 Back into it after a fabulous Christmas and New Year break - though I wish I was still down south in Dunsborough! What a lovely place. I have managed to maintain my weight even though I haven't stuck to the HealthPointe program. I didn't go mad but I did have the odd delicious pastry from Mealup, delicious eggplant fritters at Eagle Bay Brewery etc. Goal now is to get rid of last 3 kgs and hopefully my waist will then be at the healthy measurement of 80cm.

10.01.2022 Anyone got any ideas on how to get 'Human Biology' terminology etc into your brain!!! I have never studied Human Biology before - other than briefly in year 6 and 7 and struggling on trying to remember the vast number of different cell /tissue types, hormones, processes etc. YouTube though has been wonderful- found a channel called Crash course and they are great at explaining.... Will just have to watch over and over again - and double my Omega 3!!

10.01.2022 5 reasons not to drink plastic bottled water from the supermarket: - plastic bottles are made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) that can leach chemicals and hormone disrupters into the water. Did you know that bottled water has a use by date not because of the water but because of the degradation of the Plastic containers. Those large water containers that you get in commercial premises are just as bad. ... And the degradation is exacerbated by age and heat - harmful Bacteria in water. Both American and Canadian studies found high levels of potentially dangerous bacteria in bottled water - 1/3 of those tested. - poor quality. Unless the water is spring water, it is just municipal water that has had additional filtering. - environmental issues - the waste from plastic bottles (plastic in general) is an environmental disaster - cost - bottled water is extremely expensive. It's much better from a health, environmental and cost perspective to get a really good water filter. I fill up glass bottles and put them In the fridge for my kids to drink. They know immediately now if it's ordinary tap water because of the smell of chlorine in tap water. The ESpring filter uses a carbon block filter and uv light to remove chlorine, any metals and microorganisms to give you great tasting water. Plus saves me fortune in bottled water.

06.01.2022 Josephine ( my oldest daughter) has now joined the gym and will be having PT sessions twice a week to get stronger. Liz was very upset that she is too young to join - she'll have to wait 2 years - though she does more activity than the rest of us combined!!! Anyway I found this recipe for a smoothie to fight sunburn!!! Apparently certain foods act like a sunscreen (who knew) - green tea contains catechin antioxidants that enhance DNA repair etc... Anyway it looks interesting and tasty Sun shake: Blend 1 cup of ice with 1 cup frozen mango, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup chilled green tea, 1 TBs protein powder, 1 tbs chia seeds, 1 tps fresh ginger and 2 carrots Sounds good but don't think I'd dispense with sunscreen

01.01.2022 Week 19: ( not really but lost count on number of weeks) Am 1kg off goal weight - yehhh!!!! But my waistline is still not down to 80cm yet so will keep on going until I lose those last 3cm. BMI is now ok - 24.5 Have lost quite a few cm's on my boons last couple of weeks - 3cm. Just not losing anything in my hips.... Anyway proud of myself See more

01.01.2022 I made this mix of nuts and seeds yesterday because I wanted to use up some of the many bags of nuts and seeds that I have in the pantry. It's a mix of walnuts, macadamia nuts, coconut flakes, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, almonds and sesame seeds. Put in on my desk at work to nibble on when peckish
