Tuesday July 2008 - My Diary Week Two Day Two - Global Health Challenge

I have been getting quite a few emails this week from people who are doing the Global Health Challenge and feeling not only more energy but also seeing a change in their attitude (attitood) to LIFE.

This happens when you commit to yourself on a plan that YOU believe in. It then takes constant management of that new compass direction heading to maintain it and remain on the path as there will be "obstacles" that appear and also try to divert you from success.

For those that are interested I have now dubbed myself NOT the Naked Chef (that is already taken and besides food sometimes splatters - sheeshhh), but rather the Lazy Chef. I am not a trained chef and learning as I go but don't want to be in the kitchen preparing for hours - that is not me, hence the Lazy Chef tag.

I am trying to get recipes that are easy and still taste good. The recipe for the Turkey and CousCous Rissoles will be added tomorrow. This was easy and tasted great so give it a go and if you have any to add then please email me tonyfindlay2008@gmail.com
