Here we go again.
I shall be organised and perfect and not drink too much and
be healthy and make wholesome packed lunches every day.
These were some of my sunny holiday aspirations. I was
filled with hope and bright anticipation of the things that 2012 would bring (and
lots of Savvy Blanc).
Fool. I botched most of them the next day.
But who ever gives
up something on the 1st of January? It’s shouldn’t be allowed, I
mean what’s boxing day without a few recovery Bloody Mary’s and a beautiful
eggs Benedict?
In my mind, the kick-off for resolutions are the 1st
day of work, it’s easier on all fronts and I feel ready to take on new and
(almost) impossible foodie feats (most of my resolutions being foodie that is).
We can do it! Here are some of my resolutions and how I’m
going to action them, perhaps you have the same if not similar one’s? Please
tell me all about them and the coolest one gets a sassy R250 Kalahari voucher.
1. Detox: Not the eat nothing and almost die one. The
drink lots of ginger tea everyday (as well as real food) to cleanse my system
one.
2. Eat a good, healthy breakfast like these scrummy
baked oats and have a (full) jug of water next to my desk at all times.
3. Drink more smoothies – they are so great for
smashing in high nutrition and cleansing the system.
4. Eat more fresh salads and vegetarian dishes. I love love veggie food and there are
hundreds of superb dishes to make sans the heaviness of meat.
5. Try to eat smaller meals and snack in-between on
healthy things like garlicky hummus with wholewheat pita or crudités, roasted
spicy chickpeas or these funky fruit sticks with a nutty dip.
6. Indulge in gorgeous healthy desserts like my
strawberries with nuts and honey and this healthy cheese cake.
7. Have a cheesy cheat day every now and again – because I’m
worth it!
