Healthy Lifestyle Challenge Week 3

Hello Blog World,

Week 2 was a lot easier than I thought, not to say there weren’t hard or tempting moments but I resisted and am feeling great and have even shed a few kilos to boot! Bring on week 3!!!!!!

I had a few entries this week for my link party and there are 2 fab recipes that I definitely want to try.

Check out
KB & Whitesnake’s Home – Salmon with Dill Buttery Sauce
and

and don’t forget
No Pain No Gain Tuesday from Natascha’s Blog – she has finished week 4 of her challenge and will post week 5 tomorrow, can’t wait to see what she’s accomplished.

Now to some motivational material before letting you in on my week!

Mixed Bag
I was feeling a bit hungry after aerobics today so I had another 2 rice cakes – honestly I shouldn’t beat my self up as these are very low calorie and low fat, so maybe this should still be a high?

So a few more lows than last week!!!

I have posted my link party again this week.  I had a total of 4 entries (one was mine so it doesn’t count really. So link up obviously I need the help!  Until then Happy Healthy Crafting.
