My Style
Today my colleague suggested that I make a page on my blog about my personal style. If I have to describe my style, I would say, it’s more earthy, bohemian, colourful and a kind of, “ma…

My new lifestyle
Today I celebrate my first Banting anniversary. A good day to launch my blog. There is a lot of April fool jokes going around, but for sure, this is not one of them.
A year ago, when I tried to step into my brothers Jeep, I struggled to lift myself into the, very high, seat. I blamed it on my 162cm height and the MT 33 inch wheels, well, if you don’t know what that means, I am very short, and the wheels are very big. When I finally got comfortable and ready to go, my niece made a comment from her car seat, “you are to fat to get into our Jeep”. That was it, the honesty of a child was my wake-up call.
There and then I started following the Banting lifestyle. The first week was tough, every day I woke up with a bitter taste in my mouth, but I didn’t give up, you see, those words of Hannah left a bitter taste in my mind and I knew , I need to change my life.
I looked up Banting desserts, I was craving something sweet, I was addicted to sugar for too long, like almost 70% of all humans. I started trying out different recipes, you will notice I posted some here on my blog. These helped me to overcome my desire for sweet treats.
After a few months I noticed I do not crave sweet things so much. Even 70% Lindt chocolate started tasting like Smarties. It is amazing how much my pallet changed in such a short time.
I started loosing weight, every week I felt like a winner. I never felt like hiding away anymore. I was ready to face the world again. I lost 25 kg so far and never felt so good in a long time.
To be honest, this lifestyle is a very pleasant journey. No diet pills, shakes, injections or weighing of food. I started surfing the Internet and with the help of so many other banters whom shared their recipes, I started to experiment with healthy, delicious, fresh real food. I never look back to bread, pasta or potatoes. The reward, a healthy, radiant, slimmer me.
I hope that, as from today, you will join in on ~ a colourful life with Z.

Completing the race
Today I surprised my husband by putting all his cycling medals in cellophane bags. While I was folding up the ribbons and working on this project, I thought of all the hard work, dedication, training and victories that went into this passion of his.
It brought back good and bad memories. Good ones of us, competing together, winning races like The Argus Cycling tour, SA Championships and many more. Bad ones like having a puncture when we went downhill at 72kmph, getting tired and almost dehydrated on long cycling tours and then also us being hit and run.
We trained hard, cycled hard, after all , champions are made when no one is watching.
It also reminded me of the script 2 Timothy 2:5 
An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
It is also like that in our private lives. We have to keep to the rules. We have to keep going, even when things are getting tough. We need to train and keep our eyes on rhe goal. We have to run the race when no one is watching.
Always remember that winners are not people who never fail but people who never quit.
