City of Vancouver – leading the way (FB video)

Written by Janet on January 21, 2015. Posted in Blog, The Bigger Picture

The City of Vancouver is building a sustainable food system that is beautiful, inspiring and inclusive. Just think what could we achieve here in Mt Beauty, Tawonga (and Sth), Bright and surrounds?

——————–

A sustainable food system is essential to nourishing a healthy city. So we launched the City of Vancouver’s Food Strategy in January 2013, the culmination of 10+ years of policy, planning and community work to build a healthy, just and sustainable food system. Check out our video showcasing its big impact in our city so far! To get involved, visit http://vancouver.ca/foodpolicy

Breakfast Green Juice – bottom’s up again!

I made it through last night’s soup without bread – check!

Made it through breakfast without coffee or bread – check!

Momentary lapse in concentration sees me open the fridge for a bite to eat.
Beat down the cravings – check!

Look to Youtube for some inspiration (below) – CHECK!

I’m even more inspired to keep going. Just look at this lady!

Janet’s 3 Day Detox Experiment

Written by Janet on January 9, 2015. Posted in Blog, Health & Wellbeing

So I’ve started three days of detox which of course means no bread, no diary, no unhealthy fats or processed foods – ouch! I think I need a separate fridge because at least twice today I’ve almost reached for the kids’ chocolate in the fridge door. I should have let them finish it off already! Darn it.

I’ve never done a detox before. I wasn’t prepared for how much you unconsciously reach for when the fridge light blinks on!

Feeling a bit tired today but that could be attributed to other things. Struggling to not want the amazing Milawa corn bread with my soup tonight but know I need to do the detox properly to say if it’s any chop or not! Watch this space. If I get headaches I’ll let you know….followed by the list of things I’m going to devour on Sunday when it’s over!

I caught myself responding to Gerard’s query tonight “Are you having a cup of tea” to which I replied ‘Yes well I’ve got nothing else to eat!’. Think Day 1 is meant to be grumpy? I should have bought the ingredients and enjoyed their suggested Chia Seed Pudding. Lesson learned!

Stay well & happy all.
