Hi Marina, thanks. Its interesting you don’t consider this a ‘diet’ but when I say diet I think of it in terms of eating balanced – including all the food groups in the right proportion. And to be honest, compared to how I ate before, this is a vast improvement .

But I take your point very well about swapping lunch for dinner and vice-versa and it is a brilliant idea. I’m going to do my best (with husband’s blessings) to rearrange them cause like you said – I can expend the calories from the heavy dinner turned lunch than the other way round! Thank you – see, sometimes when we’re so close to something, we lose perspective!

Hi there,

Please don’t take my comment as an insult, but looking at your diet menu, I can not believe that anyone would consider that a diet. I’m from a small country in Europe and this is almost a regular menu that most people eat (so not people on diet) with one big exception – we don’t eat that much in the evening. We eat something light for breakfast, the lunch is the biggest meal (things that you eat for dinner) and dinner is something lighter (like your lunch)… so, maybe you could try with switching lunch for dinner and dinner for lunch…

Think of it this way – if you eat more for lunch, you have time to spend those calories until evening, and than you just have a small snack in the evening and go to sleep…

With eating small during the day, it’s harder to keep up with the diet, and eating a lot in the evening only makes your body stuff more fat during sleep cause it has no where to spend it…

Again, please don’t be insulted or anything, just trying to help… If I wasn’t clear enough about anything, feel free to e-mail me… Good luck with diet

Ozoz – you’ll get there eventually. I know when I’ve had to take a break from running and then get back into it, it always seems like you start out with a step back before you show any real progress. I bet you have more energy now than before you started and that has got to feel good.

So glad your camera is back as you have such a wonderful way of capturing so much with your images.

I noticed that the corn is now big enough to be plucked in the garden; was looking for a recipe beyond just boiling or roasting the corn; this salsa sounds delicious especially with the citrus flavor added in.
