Healthy eating.

Summer is just around the corner (finally!) and my goal is to lose 3 more kilos by Christmas when my friends arrive.  I couldn't be more excited to have my friends here to spend our very first Christmas together, on the beach no less.   I plan on rocking a santa hat and bikini all day long which means I have three months to eat right and get into a good work out routine.  I already do both of these as I do believe keeping fit and being healthy is a lifestyle, not a diet. But with summer nearing and friends visiting and my departure back home to the states being a mere 4 months away, all the more reason to look my best.  Lucky for me, my bf is a chef and feels the same way as I do about health and fitness, so I have been capturing some photos of the food we eat (and he prepares) on a regular basis.  The food consists of little oils, lots of fruit and veg, white meats and fish and even a little treat every now again.  These images are not the most aesthetically pleasing images you have ever seen, but you get the picture...
