Healthy girl and Mrs. S shenanigans

Anyone who knows me knows that I quite easily and often fall off diets for the simple fact that it doesn't appeal to my taste buds but lately,Iv been desperately trying to get rid of my muffin top but maybe just not desperate enough. The idea that I have had that healthy food is boring and yuck has from today now become archaic, lets just say that my Journey to mind renewal and transformation started earlier this week when I made some conscious decisions which include changing my diet for the overall health of my body system, not just to lose my muffin tops (though at the moment it ranks higher in terms of urgency lol), So I picked up a book at the library called the ' S factor diet' by Lowri Turner, she offers a diet plan that isn't about measly breakfast, lacklustre and unsatisfying inners, and I was quite impressed by that proposal. So far finding a diet I am going to follow is a huge milestone in itself.


yes, I take pictures of my food... haha

Now my final moment of truth wasn't  until this morning, I met up with my three sisters for brunch at a trendy hippy café in Maylands, its one of those restaurants that at first sight the African in me would look down upon but I turned out to like it because I tend to like the unusual. As expected, every one was late except for C, who conveniently lives just less than a 10 minutes drive from the café. I guess no one had punctuality on their new years resolutions for 2015. The café was crowded and there was a sizeable number of people lining outside waiting for a table, I wonder how C managed to get a table for 4 and a high chair for baby so quick and easily. on to the food, I ordered a plate of coconut braised ribs with sweet potato mash sprinkled with nuts. My expectation was to see ribs on a rack but no, but then again it wasn't disappointing at all after having the second bite. lets just say that my expectations were superseded. From that moment i was convinced that healthy eating wasn't as bad as i made it out to be. Away from food, diets and all it was just lovely to be together as sisters and catch up and laugh and shop together. such opportunity doesn't come so often as clashes in work and other life commitments don't so often allow for that,  I felt really blessed at the end of the day.
