The Sun Came Out!

The sun has come back, and brought my smile and motivation with it. I really cannot function properly without enough sunlight... Monday morning and the skies were clear. It was cold though, only 1°C but cold isn't an issue. I bundled up, got Freddie all snug in his fluffy pola bear suit, and set off to meet up with my Walking Buddy. She's been low too so we both needed this.

We did over 2 miles. Not the 5+ we were doing back in November, but it was good. We also had a drink at the Juicafe juice bar (and a coffee shop coffee too). Today we did a similar length walk and had another juice. And we are both feeling better for it.

The daylight, exercise, and company has fixed my mood. The juice drinks have given me a boost - we've been drinking "Wake Me Up" which has apple, carrot, ginger & lime in. Psychosomatic or genuine? Don't know, don't care, I like it! We're thinking about going again tomorrow! I really should too because I have other commitments on Thu & Fri.

And because I'm back out & about I'm not nibbling so much. I stayed within my points yesterday, and I'm on track to do the same today (cottage pie made ready for dinner, points left over for a light snack this evening if I need it), as well as the boost of Active Points - I got 5 yesterday!

I'm not over my Winter Blues... I few rubbish weather days in a row and I'll struggle again. But in the meantime I'm working hard and looking forward to Spring!



Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too. 

 You can also go to my page, hover over the “liked” button and select get notifications. Then you will see my posts and status updates in your notifications. Mumma Walker on Facebook

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
