Why variety is the spice of life
A boring routine is a recipe for disaster when wanting to stick with a weight loss plan long-term. Recharge your enthusiasm with my tips for adding variety. I remember back in my dieting days, diet food was boring, bland and uninspiring so even with the best intentions I could never stick with the plan long-term.
6 tips for quick easy meals
Take the pressure off putting a healthy meal on the table by keeping a few staples in the pantry and fridge. If you want a meal in a hurry it’s unlikely you’ll cook a fancy dinner. Which means you’re left with two options, grab a takeaway or make a quick easy meal. Quick dinners can still

Wednesday’s thought… Do you find people are always telling you what to do? Learning that you’re the decision maker in your life is a step to living life the way you want. Start shaping your own day. Start walking your own walk. This journey is yours, own it, believe it. Annette :-)
This week in my afternoon posts I’m busting weight loss myths. In the 25 years I’ve been in my healthy weight range I’ve seen a lot of fad diets come and go and I’ve become pretty good at spotting them. Here’s some pointers to help you recognise a fad diet:
• It promises quick weight loss (more than half to one kilo a week)
• It suggests you live off one food type (remember the cabbage diet?)
• It removes an entire food group (no carbs – really? These are essential for the brain!)
If a diet answers YES to any of the above, it’s a fad and is best avoided.

There's so much hype out there about what's healthy and what's not that it can get quite confusing. Let's bust some common diet myths.Monday’s thought… Hello to another glorious week. Here’s 3 tips:
1. Make time to cook and eat healthy meals this week
2. Aim to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night
3. Stay hydrated – even though it’s winter we need to drink 2 litres of water a day
Doing these 3 things will help you bounce through the next 7 days. Annette :-)
This week we’ve been talking about predicting our future health. Weekends are often a time we let our guard down and eat food that’s not on our healthy living plan. This weekend – before you eat unhealthy food – ask yourself “will this support my future health?” If the answer is NO, step away. Have a great weekend. Annette :-)

Friday’s thought… When I was losing my weight I had a goal to wear a pair of size 12 jeans. The day I zipped up my first pair was one I will never forget. To stay on track I used to say to myself “Annette, if you eat this, will it help you get to wear those jeans?” It really helped and stopped me from sabotaging myself. Try it, it works. Annette :-)
Thursday’s thought… As you walk this journey of weight loss and wellness, be in the moment and look for all the good things that are happening. Celebrate the good choices you are making, pat yourself on the back when you don’t weaken, and cheer yourself along with every healthy decision you make. Continually encourage yourself, because you're worth it! Annette :-)
