January blues

So now we're in January it's back to work time! No more lazing on the sofa watching films and eating your body weight in food! It was lovely to have a few days off but I am glad to be back in a routine. Here are few pictures from the festive season

I have also started a health kick so I will also be sharing some great healthy meals with you all!

Dish of the week - Wok fried greens, Wagamama

I caught up with some friends on Thursday and we went to Wagamama in Westfield. I had checked out the menu before setting out to check nutritional information on my favourite dishes. I found that my normal dish, Yaki Soba was only around 700 calories so i chose that. My friend also ordered wok friend greens, and when I tried them I was so surprised. I didn't think they would have much taste but they were soft without being soggy, and have a great bite which came from the soy sauce. I will definitely chose these again!

You'd never get away with this now!

This week I found some old adverts and was so shocked at some of the content. Even though I understood their tongue-in-cheek humour, these would be completely unacceptable now and would never pass ASA standards. Drawing on discrimination against women, race issues and sexual innuendos  really shows a shift in attitudes. Next to a few of these adverts I have added some recent campaigns for similar products to really highlight the differences.
