MELONS AND MOPS....

So we are in the heatwave warning area?
Hope no one is stuggling with all this heat?...
I'm up early to have time on the laptop in the craftroom and miss the worse of the heat in here.
Not that I am complaining I love this great weather we are all having at the moment in the UK.....but why am I making A SHAWL, or two in this heat?... lol.
 
MELON SMOOTHIE...oh! yes this was delicious and very refreshing.
 
5lbs off in 5 days...not weighed myself this morning (day7) but I am a happy bunny.
I can't believe how well it is going, Phil has lost the same and he is a day behind me with starting....
so we are both REALLY pleased......no cravings at all and feeling great.
 
ROAST VEGGIES
The Roast veggie dinners at night are wonderful
Aubergines, courgettes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, onions drizzled with coconut oil and sprinkled with cumin, mustard and black pepper...fabulous dish,
no meat in sight and we really aren't missing it at all.
 
So we  are still sticking with the fruit and veg diet lots of juices, smoothies in the day some great recipes in Joe Cross's recipe book.
SMOOTHIE ICE CREAM
And I get daily recipes sent from his site a great one for a coconut water and fesh strawberries, but any fuit can be used to make a great smoothie but you can freeze it to make a substitue ice cream that sounds vey yummy...I'll let you know what it's like asap.
The sweet potato crisps and a salsa dip sounds great too.
 
MOP SLIPPERS
I tried out my new floor mop slippers, yesterday lol...great fun and the floor shone
Easier on the back, peel off the mop bit, wash and hang out to dry for next time...terrific idea.
 
Enjoy the sunshine
Hugs x

    Haha, mop slippers - genius idea!
    I looked at my Mum yesterday hooking a woolly blanket under the sun umbrella - it didn't quite look right :)

    Melon smoothie, roasted veggies and salsa coming up! Not only are you pleased with your diet, you're enjoying it too and keeping out of a hot kitchen during the heat-wave! Well done!
    Those mop slippers are rather hilarious! I love the colour and my grandson would like those! Where on earth did you find them, they'd make really fun gifts! I love them!

    Thanks for the inspiration on the smoothies, and I noticed more in prev. posts. Congrats on the weight loss. I started watching similar cut backs after I went thru some pictures, If I was taller I'd be thinner, but and it seems hard to move 1 lb. Moving my bike into town for some daily rides.
    Beautiful colors on all your thread designs posted also. Always look forward to Annie's Smiles these days. Enjoy the weekend
