Sydney’s Organic Expo

Posted on August 22, 2010 by Libby Withnall

Just a week or so ago I discovered there was going to be an Organic Expo in Sydney. It’s apparently the 6th year but I’d never heard of it before!! Luckily we had the Saturday free so I booked tickets for us to go, not really sure what to expect.

It was really good and much larger than I thought it would be. There were lots of stands about all things organic. And lots of food samples. We discovered some delicious brown rice crackers and were impressed with these super sprouts. Kevin decided we should get the WHOLE set :-).

The girls enjoyed it too and were extra happy when they discovered the animals.

Before leaving we had an organic lunch from the cafe. I had a lovely vegetable pie. Delicious!

We’ll definitely try to get to return next year.

Well, I finally have my new food blog – Libby loves soup, salad and chocolate, all prettied up and ready to share with you.

I hope you’ll drop buy and check it out. And of course, if you want to read/see more please feel free to add it to your RSS feed. Also if you any suggestions for improvements or see any glaring errors please let me know. I’m quite excited about it and already it’s helping me to make better food choices :-).

Crunch Time

Okay, with less than 9 weeks till our big trip you’d think I’d be eating healthy and improving my fitness. But alas that has NOT been the case. And I’m currently sitting at the height weight I’ve been in a long time and having to wear my elastic waisted pants. It ain’t pretty that’s for sure.

So it’s time to get things moving in the right direction again. But how to do that is the question? I know deep down the only way to ever get full control of my eating is to accept there is no quick fix and that I need to learn to eat like a NORMAL healthy person does.

My plan of attack is to do in fact, that. Follow in the footsteps of the healthy food bloggers that I read on a daily basis, practice Intuitive Eating, not to beat myself up if I CHOOSE to indulge and get back to daily exercise (which has been hit and miss the last couple of month).

To further keep me focused on making good choices I’ve decided to start a daily food blog. I’ll let you know when it’s up and running.

My new toy

As you know I’m in love with green smoothies – and have one most days. I’ve even gotten Kevin onto them. Which means my blender gets quite the workout. I’ve been anxiously awaiting it’s demise so I could get a Vitamix Blender – after hearing all about them all over blogland. Guess what? The other day is started mucking up, so Kevin got online and ordered me a new blender. It came yesterday and I have to say this mornings smoothies was totally without lumps! Yay!

Yes, I know you don’t think it looks very nice but I tell you, they are DELICIOUS!!!
