[nice little supper] collected by bike


So, so simple to do. All it needs is the kick start.

Some of you will recall the Higham had a down time two weekends ago - cramps, flushes, faintness, throat and all those nasties. People said go to the doctor [good advice], do this, do that.

On the other hand, all it needed, as far as I could see, was to get off the chocolate and greasy fish'nchips, start pumping through the water [minus sugar], eat straight meat, grain, cabbage and fruit, get back on the bike and start exercising again.

Three days it took and things were back in order but then, mainly through laziness and difficulties with available shops, I slipped back into the old routine - 'just for today' I told myself and there was the old chest tightness, the old cramps, the old woes again.

'St--f that,' I castigated myself, 'get off your butt and do the right thing.' So, last evening it was lightly peppered sea bass fillet in the oven, with bulgar wheat and finely sliced cabbage. I could have thrown some cherry tomatoes in but that was enough.

Delish.

Not only that but grapes for dessert instead of some heavy pudding also did the trick and the result was well being. How simple it all really is - proper food, exercise and keeping the brain busy. How little it really takes to get yourself back on track.

  3. Cherie - especially last night.

    HGF - dark chocolate is a winner ... but addictive.
