The New You - Living a Healthier Lifestyle

Pulling this one out of the archives whilst in the UK as eggplants are a lot cheaper. See comments for the recipe if you'd like to try this out.

Today I reinvented a Moroccan chicken dish into this new version : Moroccan Eggplant 🍆

The good husband said I must share it 💕

So keep watching this page and the recipe will be posted in the near future.

Holiday eats. I made crispy oil free potato wedges for a family dinner - I’m still getting them used to the idea food can still taste as good without oil as it does with 😊.

When everyone was having profiteroles for dessert I made my own dessert from some Allpro DF custard and a dark chocolate dessert pot. It was very pleasant!

Lunch is the familiar and favorite corn thins with hummus, tomato and cucumber and some leftover orange sweet potato.

Isn’t this rose quite beautiful? In my in-laws garden.

ZERO ALCOHOL

I’m loving the going out and being able to enjoy a glass of sparkling wine with zero alcohol and only 18 calories.

So far after my 4th go at different sparkling varieties, Freixenet is my top pick if you want to have wine without the alcohol.

Living a healthy lifestyle is not about going without. It’s just about changing our choices for something different.

Where do I get my protein from? Well here.

Regardless of whatever social media hype you want to believe, plant protein sources (tofu, lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, black beans etc) all provide quality protein for the body. We won’t become protein deficient if we focus on a wide and varied eating pattern with a plant forward approach.

This is a tomato lentil winter warmer soup with added tofu.

My MIL always makes sure I have the food I like - this year a 5 kg bag of potatoes 🤣

Well I do love a UK baked spud!

TRIXIE DOES REAL LIFE 💗(BISCUIT WISDOM)

“I’ve decided to listen to my body.”

Sounds very wise, doesn’t it? 😂

But sometimes what we think our body is telling us is actually habit, boredom, tiredness, stress — or simply the fact that we know there are biscuits in the cupboard.

There’s nothing wrong with having the biscuit. The useful bit is learning to pause long enough to notice what’s really driving the decision.

Am I hungry?
Do I actually want it?
Or is this just one of those familiar little habits doing the talking?

No judgement. No guilt. Just awareness.

Although, as Trixie has discovered, some habits can be VERY persuasive. 🙄🍪

Don’t say no, say how.

Sometimes the first thing we see is the obstacle.

❌I can’t do that.
❌I don’t have time.
❌That won’t work for me.
I’ve tried before.

But what happens when we replace “I can’t” with “How could I?”

✅How could I make this easier?
✅How could I make it fit my life?
✅How could I do it differently this time?

You don’t have to have the whole answer immediately. Sometimes simply asking a better question is enough to move your thinking from what’s stopping you to what might be possible.

When we start looking for solutions, we’re far more likely to find them.

So if you catch yourself saying “No, I can’t…” this week, try adding one little word:

HOW? 💕
