Foodie Friday

First an update on my sugar free challenge. I continued on for another week – making it three weeks – with the exception of chocolate fondue on the weekend. However, my weight has gone up this week and I really don’t know why. So the last few days it’s been difficult to stay motivated and I have had a few things with sugar. I’ve been reading a bit about food intolerances causing, not only inflammation, but an inability to lose weight, so I wonder if that might be something I’m dealing with. When I look at my food for the week I had more bread than normal. Hmm… might have to set myself another challenge and eliminate more foods from my diet.

This week saw lots more grocery buying (again).  First a shop at Woolworths…

We saw Safe Haven, which we both really enjoyed, had lunch out and did a bit of shopping. Bed, Bath & Beyond have their Easter display but I was very good and only bought a few things (until I check exactly what I already have)….
