Why blog?

In a desperate attempt to loose weight and improve my over all health I took the drastic step to start dieting.

Many times in my life I have stepped on and off the diet wheel, experiencing the shame of being put on the scales at weight watchers, having the joy of counting food points or having a red or green day and failing miserably.

This time I decided to create my own diet and exercise regime whilst being very aware of calories in and calories out and refusing bland tasteless chemical ridden microwave meals or the joy of counting points and paying for the pleasure.

So this blog is going to contain some recipes, my diet journey and the exercise regime that I am being tortured with.

All calorie counts on the recipes are calculated using amounts given on packaging and a little mathematics.
