Renewing recipes for better health

This year I'm on a mission to loose roughly ten per cent of my body weight. This is to make me healthier and to take the stress off my knees. I've made good progress having lost around five kilos since November but I still have a way to go.

During February I was mainly vegetarian. My daughter and her friends had heard about Feb Fast and wanted to know what it was like to go without something they liked. Olivia was very focused and stuck to her commitment until the end. I enjoyed the change too, and it definitely helped some more weight come off but I realized how limited my stock of recipes was.

I now have a couple of new cook books and I'll be trying out some new recipes each fortnight. This fortnight I'm trying bran muffins and learning to poach chicken.

It's not just about food its also about establishing better exercise routines so I'm hoping to use this blog a bit more to track my progress and some of my culinary successes.

I'd love to hear how you are going too, so if you have similar goals please let me know!
