Making the transition to an empty nester – cooking for 1 or 2 people
When we became ‘empty nesters’ some years ago, we had to make a few changes. There are many bonuses to having the house to ourselves and not having to cater for the crowd. With just the two of us at home we get to cook what we want, not what the kids want, and watch

1) There are so many beautiful summer fruits available right now
2) It’s easier to drink water at this time of the year
3) Salad is so good on these hot days and so low in calories and fat
4) Swimming is a great all-rounder for fitness and burning calories
5) Be more active while you have more spare time during the holidays.

This Tropical Christmas Cake is best eaten fresh. If cooking ahead for Christmas, freeze until a few hours before required then defrost at room temperature.Wednesday’s thought… If you feel tempted to go off track on Christmas Day put it into perspective. We can eat the food that is on offer any day of the year so why gorge unnecessarily on the 25th? Here are 3 tips to keep you on track…
1. Christmas is only a small part of the year. It’s what you do between the New Year and Christmas that counts
2. Burn it off instead of sleeping it off
3. Give yourself the best present this Christmas - a healthy YOU for 2019

When we became ‘empty nesters’ some years ago, we had to make a few changes, one of the hardest was adjusting to cooking meals for just one or two people.

Tuesday’s thought… December can be a stressful time for slimmer’s so here’s 4 tips:
1) Set a realistic goal for the next few weeks. Will you maintain your weight, lose weight or gain weight?
2) BYO food to events. If you have something 'safe' to eat, then it will make parties easier.
3) Increase your activity levels so that this will help compensate if you do over indulge.
4) Eat in moderation. Having a little of Christmas treats is okay but having a lot means weight gain.

This week in my afternoon posts I’m sharing my ideas for healthy Christmas gift ideas.
Let’s start with gifts to bake. People love homemade gifts. So, here’s some ideas:
• Ginger bread – use the Ginger Kisses Recipe (Book 6)
• Biscotti – try my Almond Apricot Bread (Book 3), or the Macadamia Cranberry Bread (Book 7) is a gluten free option
• Mini Christmas Cakes and Mini Xmas Pudding in my new COOKING FOR 1 OR 2 PEOPLE cookbook
• Gluten Free Shortbread (Book 7)
• Fruit Balls (Book 7) there’s a variation with nuts or add some rum

Monday’s thought… If the weekend didn’t go as well as you had hoped then make a fresh start today to get your head in the right place. Here are some tips to pull you out of the slump:
1) Write down all the reasons why you want to be slimmer and healthier
2) If you give up now what will happen – will you gain more weight and be more miserable?
3) The past is the past, today is what matters, so dust yourself off and start again.

As we head into the final few weeks of the year, don't lose sight of what's important. Christmas will be all over soon and you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about. Make sure you put yourself first and stick to your goals... because you're worth it! Have a great weekend. Annette :-)
