A bit of this and a bit of that

I’ve switched to FatSecret to keep track of my diet. The main reason is that they have an app for my Android phone. When I buy something from a shop, I can just scan the barcode and it appears on my food diary (assuming it’s a product if knows about), which I thought was really [...]

I know I’m running the risk of sounding like a broken record, but I’ve decided to start calorie counting again. When I’m not doing it, I start eating rubbish and that’s what causes me to lose control of my weight. It’s not that I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I guess it’s a problem [...]

Right, we’ve been on holiday twice since I last blogged about my diet; and not counting calories has meant that my weight has crept up a bit. Actually, it crept up in our first trip when I put on 3 kilos. I was more careful in our second trip (to Malta) and actually [...]

We went to a new burger joint in Douglas called Route 66 today. It’s note quite new, because the outlet has been moving from one place to another in the Isle of Man over the years. The great thing about it is that it’s not a franchise, but a personal business so there’s a certain [...]

FuelMyBlog put together Global Cookbook last December, a collection of recipes from all around the world. They were all different recipes contributed by members of the FuelMyBlog community and published together by Blurb,a book publishing website that lets you create your very own publication.
I think the book looks great, here’s a preview:

I’d love to win [...]

So, the Christmas period is over .. ok, it’s been over for a couple of weeks now, and I’m well on my way to getting back on track with my diet. We had some relatives over, then Arthur’s birthday, so it’s been a bit touch and go, but I’ve managed to lose one of the [...]

Well, the 2 weeks of holidays are almost at and end and it’s back to our routine on Monday. Arthur will be going back to school, I’ll be going back to work, gym and Camille and I will be going back on our diet. It’s been a fantastic 2 weeks; excellent to spend some time [...]

As I’m not on my diet any more, I’ve been trying a number of things I’ve been meaning to try over the last few weeks. One of the things I’ve been meaning to try was the 9 Bar Seed Bar which includes hemp as one of the ingredients. And I must say it’s just awesome! [...]

Camille made some amazing mince pies today. Actually, they’re not quite mince pies as the filling is more than the usual ingredients. She’s added almonds and hazelnuts to the mix and left them open with a star on top. They’re more like tarts than mince pies and they’re pretty awesome!
It’s nice that she’s ready to [...]

Well, it’s a couple of days away from Christmas, so I’m going to give my diet a break for a few days. To tell you the truth I have been careless over the last few days, but I’m sure I can make it all up in the new year. It may be possible [...]
