52 Diets: 'Happy Birthday to me'

Monday 9 January 2012

'Happy Birthday to me'

It's my birthday, and lunch is a super wholefood salad with mint vinagrette and an edemame and soy bean salad. Dinner tonight is mushroom barley risotto and baked trout. Turns out, on a macrobiotic diet, you don't live longer - it just feels like it!

9.30pm. The barley risotto was pretty grim and tastless, the shiitake mushrooms slimey, and I think I'd have preferred salmon to trout. Luckily, tomorrow's another day...

How it all began...

The original idea was simple. Lose half a stone. It's not a lot. Probably all it requires is a little less chocolate & a little more self-control. But driven by the boredom of maternity leave & the desire to do something more interesting instead, I decided to give this a go. So, over 52 weeks I sampled some of the diets out there. I wrote about how easy they are to follow, how intrusive, how expensive, and I blogged my progress as I go.

Now I'm older and wiser. My time is fuller and there's more to write about. I'm still going to focus on diet and fitness, but these days, thinking about how that fits into my life as a full-time working mum, trainee counsellor, media director, wife and friend.
