It was a BIG “welcome back” to our screens to Lorraine Pascale this week on BBC2, 8:30.  Lorraine’s in my all time top 10 of telly chefs / chefettes / cooks / cookettes :-) and nope, before you ask, my top 10 is in no particular order :-)

I always want to get into the kitchen after watching Lorraine’s shows as Lorraine is so inspiring.

If you missed Lorraine then you can catch up with details over at http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/programmes/b01m28pp and if you missed any of the recipes, then here they are.

Yep, the @HairyBikers … or in this case, The Hairy Dieters are back and Simon and Dave with their new programme are just the inspiration I need as I’ve been putting this off to far too long…

… yep… here starts my own weight loss programme; to lose 2 stones in 3 months.  

Luckily I don’t have to change my diet too much as I already have a good diet with healthy home-made food with fresh ingredients… it’s just a case of eating too much of it… or in my case… too much of a good thing…

… however  there is an ingredient that has been missing from my dietary / health regime… one ingredient that I don’t usually find palatable…

… exercise.

There’s only one “secret” to losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight… and it’s so incredibly simple…

… “eat healthy and move more”…

That’s right… eat healthy and move more…

See?  I told you it was simple…

… and yes… I’ve got to up my “moving more” bit.

… I’ll let you know how I get on.

In the meantime enjoy the Hairy Bikers Skinny beef lasagne.

Enjoy!
