A wee little challenge . . .




Apart from saving money and learning to speak French, one of my goals before heading off to France this year is to lose a couple of kilo's.  I anticipate that I'll be eating non-stop once my foot takes its first step off the plane, and if I don't want to come home the size of a house, I have to do some serious planning now.

So I've decided to do the
8 Week Autumn Challenge.

"What's that?"  I hear you ask.  Well it's this free on-line weight loss plan which helps you lose weight via seasonal menu plans, recipes, shopping lists and a fitness plans.  They even have a section where you can track your own weight loss progress.

If you've ever seen this little blog of mine before then you will know that I'm no dieter.  I'm a huge believer in cooking with fresh seasonal produce which is why I kinda like the idea of this little plan.  I'll still be cooking with my favourite foods (nothing processed or packaged) and will tweak here and there based on what's fresh and available at my local farmers markets.

To help me stay on track (and so I don't give up after week 2!), I've decided to track my progress here and thought I might share with you some of the recipes I'll be cooking, including where I've adjusted them to suit my taste buds.

As long as I can still have my daily coffee, I think I'll make it.
It's certainly going to be interesting!
