Well at last I’ve woken up to see the sun shining and the first of the spring flowers bursting into bloom.

 

This is my favourite time of year, the cold dark days of winter are fading and as I shed layers of clothing my mood lightens and I’m looking forward to the summer ahead – which once again the weathermen tell us will be the best ever – let’s hope they’re right this time.

 

There’s a tradition of making changes on January 1^st but perhaps now is really the time to do this.  The newness of Spring is the ideal time to slough off old habits and try something new.

 

Most of us are familiar with the concept of Spring Cleaning our homes but what about Spring Cleaning yourself?

 

I try to follow Suzi Grant’s healthy eating regime but find that I slip into bad habits over the winter.  As my body emerges from it’s winter cocoon I’m very aware that I’ve piled on the pounds this year so having scoffed my last Easter Egg it’s time now to do Suzi’s weekend detox.

 

I’m not a great fan of detoxing.  I know how good it is for me but whilst women seem to enjoy this sort of thing us blokes generally don’t get it.  However from past experience I can tell you that it does work.  Much as I hate doing it, I really do feel good after Suzi’s detox and that makes it easy to stick to her dietary advice afterwards.

 

By the way,  I’m only human and when I say I stick to her advice I’m no saint, but then nor is Suzi and she very realistically says that as long as we eat sensibly at least 80% of the time then there is room for those little treats we just can’t live without.
