Let's Go To The Mall Together - Fun, Girl Time
I’m a mess 😂 I pretty much stayed in my calorie allowance for the Holiday season but the quality of food I ate was crap. Highly processed, high fat, sugar, junk and 2 cocktails. The cocktails hit me particularly hard since I rarely drink anymore. The inflammation in my body is terrible right now. I’ve spent the last 5 days consuming nothing but fruits, vegetables, salmon, whole grains etc. I have cooked everything myself. Watching this reminds me that my protein intake is to low. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge with us. 🩷
@lalablotz7348 I also have eaten a lot of the "wrong" foods...Christmas pudding, chocolate, etc. But at least you're on the healthier track now.
Your tips are the best!! I wonder if you could do a video on how to be kind without giving men the wrong impression! I really struggle with this balance as a female solo artist who provides live music at venues. I have to be nice to people because I need the tips and 'fans' and a friendly reputation etc, but some men take that 'niceness' in the wrong way. Solo gigging as a female has shown me how starving some men are for female attention. honestly if i wasn't having to entain the people for work, I wouldn't talk to them. It's scary! I wish I could put up a sign saying 'I'm a professional musician here to perform, not to date!'
@lillierose5304 Hi! Wow, that's quite a tough one...and I can well imagine how difficult that must be. Especially in the music/entertainment industry where I can imagine they are drinking...therefore making them even bolder and more needy. I am not sure I have an answer to that, I'll give it some thought.
Walking is brilliant ❤. We’ve had a walk out in the snow today. Was only 30 minutes but harder than walking when it’s normal weather lol 😂. I actually enjoy weight training. I’m not crazy about heavy weights though. You’re very slim but so toned too. Yes sometimes high intensity cardio can make you hungry. I enjoy it though. I find it trickier this time of year as so cold and want to hibernate lol 😂. Yes I do love my veg. With fruit I have berries more than other fruit as raspberries are great for fibre. Thanks so much for sharing as always. I’m plonked behind a desk for 10 hours a few days a week. I take incoming calls so time away from computer is limited lol 😂 ❤xxx
We have a dusting of snow where I’m at. I walked this morning and it was beautiful. ❄️🩵
@clairesingleton7399 Wow...walking in the snow...something I've never done. Berries are amazing!!!!
Omg!!! Thank you ❤ you are amazing!!

I agree so much ! Its magic
@@nadegefoucher4730 It really is, hey?
Thanks, that really makes it easy to remember the basics!
@happyoldlady1 Ah my pleasure! Glad it helped!
I don't run, but I take several walks a day at a decent clip, rain or shine.
That's wonderful!!!
Thank you for this! I really want to support my wife who is potentially going through this. I am on a literal quest for knowledge:)
Ah thats so good to hear, she's lucky to have a husband who wants to understand! I have more videos on perimenopause, aimed at women, but you could watch those to understand a bit more?
Movement is key to longevity, but not if you exit a plane without a parachute. 😂😂😂 Happy New Year. 💕
Lol that's funny, 😂 Happy New Year to you too!
I just fry them in a pan with garlic. No oil needed, they start cooking in their own juice pretty soon. Yum!!!
Sounds great!
Having a period as a lady is healthy and it detoxifies you monthly. However at age 48 my periods were awfully long and hemorrhaging. My dr recommended for the first time BC it truly helped, no more long painful periods

Can you make a vedeo about how to be bored like doing this And that for being bored. i am a student and i am new here but i love your vedeos
@Ashiq-s7c Hi and welcome!!! And yes, I can add that to my list of video ideas! Xxx
@@Corrans thankyou thats great ☺️
No ways, Louise. I don't do boring. Repetition doesn't have to be boring. It is an attitude. Boring is a choice. You can see things as boring, or put little creative touches on the routines and the shit that has to be done. For example, we have to make the bed and clean etc, but what's wrong with putting on some good music, or inspirational messages, or many beautiful things to spice up the mundane. Also, I find it helpful to be mindful about what we are doing, see the floor getting clean, see the colors of the veges we are preparing, the fresh smell, the taste, .I dunno many people think I am crazy. What's new!
I love everything you said! Yes! We can make the "boring" fun and see it with presence and it becomes magical! Thank you for that!
It's so comforting to watch a video of yours whilst I have my 'boring' morning black coffee 😅 keep making videos, we appreciate them!! 🙏
@lillierose5304 Oh thank you for that comment! It's words like yours that keep me going. The appreciation does wonders for my soul. Xxx
Wow, I LOVE this message. I have been thinking of this exact same thing for the last while...I am so boring but I love it. Boring IS beautiful, thank for that phrase! #boringisbeautiful
@janette3jameson Ah thank you! I am SO happy this resonated. I added that hashtag!
Calm, normal and boring is a wonderful thing 🩷 Happy New Year 🎉
Exactly!🤗 And a very Happy New Year to you too!💙
I too love boring!! To me, boring is ordinary, and oh how I love the ordinary. Every night I thank God for the ordinary day that we had.. because on an ordinary, boring day, it means we ate nutritious food, we had clean water, no one was injured, and we go to sleep in warm beds. My children are safe, we are healthy. Such ordinary things, but things I never take for grated. When you consider the alternatives (sickness, injury, disadvantaged lifestyle..) my gosh you’re begging for things to just be “normal/ordinary/boring”!! So I am grateful for this. Also, I love boring/ ordinary, if it’s in contrast to drama. I have no energy or interest in gossip and drama, or comparing myself to others or jealousy, so give me boring every day of the week haha. Great video and happy new year! X
@@sura2047 What a beautiful message! I love the way you said all that! 💯
You sound like my science teacher, which is a complimwnt btw
Thanks! Was your science teacher South African?😊
Yes, Shein is really good. 😊 I haven’t bought earrings from there before. ❤xxxx
Their costume jewelry is the best! A quarter of the price of other stores, and good variety. Sometimes the quality is not great, but I've gotten SO many earrings, necklaces and arm cuffs from them that it's ok if one or two are a bit shit.😁
@ yeah I’ve been impressed with their clothes too. I guess if it’s inexpensive then you feel like you’ve not wasted money at all. Before my little girl I’d spend a fortune on clothes, jewellery etc. at 46 times have changed lol 😂 xxx
@clairesingleton7399 I have bought some clothing too and so far, it's been hit and miss. Some stuff is good, some is very very cheaply made (obviously) and bad quality. But I kind of expected that at that price, and even if I get a few wears only, it's ok.
Sober new years eve.. It was so unspectacular in a positive way.. 😅
I LOVE it. I hardly even realised it WAS New Year's Eve. 🤣 And I feel so good today for it!
microwaving is hardly cooking, just throw them in a pan, mushrooms hold A LOT of moisture, they'll produce their own little broth and you can season it much easier that way
Godspeed brutha
That's also very true! Xxx
Yes, I'm locking in this year as well! Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm so honored I could provide some inspiration...yay, let's lock this year in!💪🏼
Youre literally glowing!! 😳 Congratulations and happy new year <3
@bethventuresx8283 Thank you! And wishing you a happy new year too!
Bravo Louise! Happy New Year to you!
@@DonaLeopoldina-dr4so Thank you and Happy New Year to you too!
Well done! My decision is to cut down. And hopefully eventually quitting. The human body is not intended to use alcohol.
Congratulations 🥳. Happy New Year ❤xxxxxx
@@clairesingleton7399 Happy happy New Year to you too!
Jan 2024, I quit alcohol. I wasn't drinking that much anyway, but I decided not to drink any alcohol anymore. I relate so much to feeling free because now I identify as someone who doesn't drink, so I never have to agonise over 'Do I drink it or not?' I'm just someone who doesn't drink, and this simplifies my life so much.
@@shaileeimrith5198 It's so wonderful! And good for you for being a year free of alcohol! 💪🏼❤️
Congratulations immensely well done Louise God bless you yours I've not drunk whatsoever since my Marvelous Mother passed away too young 😢 it's 21years Much too young She were completely tee total but detested what she see alcohol damage does to others because she were a phenomenal Nurse 😭💔 The last thing Her Sweetest Soul would wish is to look down from Heaven+see Her Loved Ones damaged themselves with poisonous alcohol Much love to you+your Family 💚🌼🙏
@Mesem-tp7nx I'm sorry to hear about your mother passing, she sounds like she was a wonderful person.🥰
I have been on this journey for about 10 months now. I admit I do occasionally partake of a single cocktail but let me tell you even that will make me feel like crap. It’s almost like I have been poisoned. I have actually started thinking of it in that sense comparing it mentally to bleach. If I won’t drink bleach I won’t drink alcohol. Everyone in my circle drinks, absolutely everyone, but luckily no one pressures me. It’s a journey. Good luck to of us all doing this. I’m sending everyone support and success. Happy New Year ❤🎊🎈
@lalablotz7348 Oh, I LOVE the bleach analogy! 🤣🤣🤣 Plus, we wouldn't drink pure ethanol, we have to have it diluted, so we all know it's a poison. Just a socially acceptable one.😊
More important to not use inflammatory oils to make it than the calorie count
Congratulations. I need to do the same 🎉
Good for you! There is so much pressure to drink.. I had one glass of champagne tonight with my husband at home, as it’s NYE, and he asked if I wanted more but I said no, one was really enough for me, and then he pressured me so much, asking so many questions why wouldn’t I have more? I even have to justify myself to my husband! lol. So imagine the pressure one feels from outsiders at a party or something. The pressure to drink is very real. But I too have come to realise that the side effects are just not worth it for me. Especially when I go out, I like sticking to one glass only, and I make it last a long time, I enjoy that one glass (usually red wine). But limiting myself to that means I keep myself nice, and no hangovers the next day.
I'm sick of those who won't drink unless you do it with them. Then they are in a bad mood the whole time because they obviously wanted a drink. No one cares if you drink or not, just do whatever you want and leave others out of it!
@@egl3369 I agree! Xxx
@sura2047 It's really difficult to stop or cut down when your partner/spouse wants you to join them. Honestly, that's one of the main reasons I've been drinking my entire adult life...because every partner I've ever had has drank, and I've joined them. Luckily for me, my partner now doesn't pressure me at all, even though he still drinks on occasion. 😊
@@egl3369I agree 100%!!
@@Corransthat’s so great that he doesn’t pressure you. Some of us just don’t need alcohol to be in a good mood or to feel happy. ❤
Me too, I'm done starting now
@@susanbennett2474 Wonderful! Let's start the wave of change!
I hate Xmas for binging cause my parents give me lots of crap food even if I ask then not too and u have a son so I can't just pull over and throw them out on my drive home.
@HomemakerDaze I hear you. What you could do is throw it away when your son is asleep or occupied, unless it's food he would eat? Or just let it sit uneaten until it goes bad and you have to throw it out? We have eneded up with a lot of food and have had to throw some out as no one ate it in our house too.💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️ Seems a waste hey?
Merry belated christmas Louise From everything Ive learned in regards to binging/ eating disorders - what you are describing is more a type of bulimia ( non purging type, unless you purge ofcourse and havent said that...) but when there is any compensation to the over eating ( such as doing more exercise ' to balance calories', fasting or dieting / restricting, again to control calories and weight, or laxative and/or enema use, etc ) It is categorized more as a bulimia type than than ' true' binge eating, which usually is without compensation and dieting thus leading to overweight/ obesity... However to be clinically diagnosed I believe it has to happen at least 1x a week or 3 x a month or something like that. However being Quite skinny too and maybe skinnier than your naturally 'meant to be' ..., it could be a type of anorexia with binging tendensies ...( Yes thats a thing too) They binge but then compensate harder and longer so they still can stay skinny or get even skinnier over time... If at all interested, Ill recommend looking into Kathryn Hansens brain over binge method, its 2 books,and a podcast ( Ill recommend book 2; 'the brain over binge recovery guide', over book 1 ' the Brian over binge' - which is more of Kathryns own Eating disorder (exercise bulimia) and recovery story... Its good too, but dosnt really have tools, the 'recovery guide', has a step by step guide. and Ill def. Also recommend to check out her podcast , the brain over binge podcast - thats completely free 🙌🏽 ( podcast episode 1-11 is a good representation of the method ( all the other eps are good too but the first ones are a 'the base' of understanding the method)) Happy new year, hope you'll get a great year and find a solution that works for you ❤️
@@Bischa1 And Merry (belated) Christmas to you too! I will definitely check out that book and podcast.😊
I use low fat mayo for egg sandwiches but always check calories before buying. On salad, i like a small amount of hummus , which at least has some nutrients. Tsatsiki, made with grated cucumber and yogurt, is also good on salad
@annawitter5161 Tzatziki is a good idea, never thought of that. Sometimes I've mixed my mayo with low fat yoghurt, as that reduces the calories too. Good ideas!
@Corrans tsatsiki is much nicer. I put fine chopped mint and garlic in. It's wonderful flavor with a salad
Yess.. 80% Mayonnaise has almost 750 kcal, 25% only 300. The problem is that they put 8g sugar per 100g into the 25g version. Yes it has lower kcal but imagine 2 cubes of sugar in 100g mayonnaise.. Anyways.. Mustard can be an alternative..
@@GenX_in_the_wild True there is sometimes extra sugar added.
You could make your own. ¾ cup light olive oil 1 large egg yolk 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (Optional) I would hardly call a shop version ( low kcal ) healthy. Ingredients listed below. Water, spirit vinegar, modified corn starch, rapeseed oil, sugar, EGG & EGG yolk (4%), salt, cream powder (contains MILK), citrus fibre, thickener (xanthan gum), preservative (potassium sorbate), flavourings (contain MILK), lemon juice concentrate, sunflower oil, colour (carotenes) 😊
I have made my own in the past, and it's delicious, it's just such a mission. But if I have time, it's good. Thanks for that reminder. The homemade one is quite high fat I think, though. xxxx
@@Corrans 😍 It is higher in fat, but I would prefer that than a bunch of chemicals to make it lower in fat. 😍
@@Corrans In nature, water and oil do mix, yet you can buy it in low-fat mayo. Go figure. 😂
Louise, I think so many of us have our issues with food. For me, it’s when alcohol is involved. I’m looking forward to a dry January. If I drink, I’ll raid the fridge and my drinking isn’t great - a lot more than I want so looking forward to a break ❤xx
Same here when alcohol is involved...then I wanna eat everything in the house! 🤣 xxxx
