Whenever we start a new year I tend to re-assess my diet, lifestyle and eating habits, I know it's a bit of a cliché but I suppose it's better that than not at all. When Holland and Barrett offered to send me a Good Life parcel of goodies I jumped at the chance, I really need to adopt some better habits. Recently, Holland and Barrett have undertaken a good life survey which compares attitudes of people in their 20-30's now with people in that age bracket back in the 70's to see what similarities and differences can be drawn. It was really interesting to read through. Rather sad to see that body confidence has decreased fourfold, with a puny 2.5% of 20-30 year olds happy with their body shape.
On with the goodies! I’m planning to finish up the wheatgrass powder and the flaxseed, cocoa and berries powder, it's easy to sneak them in to shakes, porridge and the like. Speaking of porridge, I have to make this my way to start each day instead of my previous less appropriate choices *cough* frosties or toast *cough*. A Nakd bar for tenses should then fill me up 'til lunch, I really want to try some of the other flavours now.
The tea tree body wash is lovely and refreshing, I do like to feel 'brought back to life' of a morning, especially this time of year when it’s pitch black outside. The green tea has been started (you can't beat Clipper for a good quality everyday tea), I guzzle a fair amount, one or two cups a day but only on a full stomach. (I learned the hard way.)
I wont be popping any of the pills or using the maxitone shake powder, so in the interest of being a nice blogger if any of you want it (just pay me for postage) then give me a shout.
