This week I had a brief deviance from my usual very healthy eating.  I have not binge eaten, I don't feel the need to do that, I just added a few high fat foods and a desert one into my diet for just on one week, and I'll be honest, I enjoyed them though I knew that sort of eating was OK briefly but if could not continue.

Tonight I refreshes on the way my pantry will look for the remainder of our tour and then translate into the basics for my pantry when back at home base in Victoria in Springtime.

This list is of what is in my pantry cupboard now. The list is taken from the Michelle Bridges 12wbt program I am doing.  The photos are of our caravan pantry.Shopping List

I must admit it's handy to have a well stocked pantry and it doesn't take up a lot of space that is a very shallow pantry and by keeping it full, I always have the things i need to make any dish I want once I have the fresh food top ups.

    _Happy New year :-)
    I am going to combine several seemingly contradicting eating and exercise programs and put together my own Artslim Naturally slimming and Gray-Nomad fitness program.  I plan to bring these out as a low cost EBook and small paperback. They will suit anyone interested in managing weight with son=me difficult health conditions such as metabolic syndrome and past injuries.

     I'll be showing you some of the books I am reading that have some excellent qualities, although they will not be exactly what I am putting together to suit me and my style of doing things.
    I will be focusing on eating and exercising for wellness, weight loss if obese, weight management and balanced fulfilling lifestyle..
