I mentioned during WIP Wednesday last week that I had added a whole new project for myself that wasn’t related to sewing at all, you know, because with all my copious spare time, I just needed another little thing to work on ;o) Actually though, this one shouldn’t be too arduous, since it revolves around things I need to do on a daily basis anyway, ie cook and eat.
Introducing the South Beach Pinterest Project. The basic premise of this is that I need to shift some weight, and I know South Beach works well for me. The excess weight at the moment is there mainly because I fell hard off the wagon a couple of times, and a realisation dawned that part of the problem was my general apathy towards the recipes I had that were South Beach friendly. Now I’m quite sure that if I trawled through all my cookery books (and I have many) I would end up with a whole collection of possibilities, but frankly, much as I love to cook, I don’t have time for that right now! So I’m going to embrace new technology and cook my way through my South Beach related Pinterest boards (please ignore the food porn in the form of the cookies, cupcakes, muffins etc boards, I bake about twice a year, I just live vicariously through these boards while other people put on the weight ;o) ) I’ve found a few related recipe blogs to follow, spent more time than was strictly necessary in the middle of the night trawling through back recipes, and I think I’m good to go.
Fear not, I’m not expecting you to follow me over there, but if you’re interested, feel free to witness my cooking ups and downs and laugh at some of the results ;o)
i just looked at all of your food boards and holy hell katy! you are super organized with your food pins well all of your pins actually! awesome! i am going to spend the next hour or two looking at all of the recipes which will be proven by my repinning! 🙂 they look delicious!!
must womble off sloth like to look at Pinterest. Someone mentioned food porn. Hmmmm I think we know why I'm not a skinny minny these days now don't we? 😉
Wow, that's organised! Any chance you know a courier that fancies a daily trip from you to me – I'll wash the dishes before I send them back! (I don't like mushrooms though so could you leave them out?!)
Your recipe boards are amazing! I will be looking through them all, since I need some new healthy recipes. South Beach diet is really the only thing that gets me on the right path and I love how you have it all divided up! Can't wait to see which recipes you approve of!
(I say all this after I just ate a giant burrito and two chocolate cupcakes lol.)
I envy your organization. I'm on the "zumba twice a week but also bake twice a week" kick right now. Which means I'm just staying kinda of…blah.
Hmm. Maybe this will help give me a kick in the pants.
Off to stalk the boards, good luck x
My god you are a very organised woman!! But they do say planning is the key. Those meals look delicious. I really need a diet kick, the six weeks holidays have not been kind to my waistband!!
that's handy, I missed your Monday announcement so was just checking in to catch up! I had the hospital dietetics gestapo on my tail this afternoon … apparently they're worried I'm malnourished! i am not worried about this, I've always been thin and it's just my appetite has been low lately, plus i've cut out almost all the cake I used to live on (my diabetes is showing a marked improvement as a result, imagine that! lol) … good luck with your beachy lifestyle 🙂
Ok, you need to give classes on organisational,skills!
Haven't come across the South Beach diet before, but it sounds like exactly what I need after a couple of weeks in France! Off to check out your boards 🙂
I shall follow occasionally but watch raptly from the sidelines at all times.
Gosh you can tell me how to put on weight, because I find it near impossible!
Hope it all works out well for you!! =D
I must go and take a look.
Hugs
I'm with Helen.. can I get some meal service? hehe
I was wondering what all the food pins were all about. Good for you!
I noticed all your recent food pins too. I'm not a South Beach person but I'll be following your posts to see how you do. I LOVE Pinterest for recipes – mainly because most of them come from blogs with reviews and helpful tips about making the recipes. I've found some new favorite recipes through Pinterest.
I should do the same thing
Hooly dooly your Pinterest boards are organised. I always think about board titles later then have to edit everything. I'm off to check out those recipes and maybe repin a few!
