One year anniversary

Lets rewind a bit to 30 June 2011, the night I officially became unavailable, the night where Dakota decided to ask me to be his girlfriend after a simple bbm status update.

We had spoken for 2 weeks, and I was crushing on him badly. I was confident back then, but when I couldn't even look him in the eyes and he made me feel school girl nervous, I knew there was something about him. He told me he liked Cian and would miss her while she was in Hungary, and I too would miss her as we had become good friends. A week later he admitted to liking someone else, someone he called a special person.

By this time I was desperate to talk to him, and get in some alone time, but it seemed he had other plans.
He was sitting outside, on a bench, talking to a girl from his school, who I happened to know as well. As he smiled away at her, I realized that he was too good to be true, and I had once again taken an unnecessary fall. Later that night I confronted him, and asked if she was special, to which he replied yes. I felt broken, my world shocked even though nothing had actually happened between us. I felt like a fool, and like I had been lead on, so I changed my bbm status to just that. When he asked what it was about, or who, I refused to tell him. Somewhere along the way he realized it was him and confessed that he liked me. I too took a leap and confessed I liked him. It was that confession that started the 2 of us.

This brings me to the present day, where we have our own record of the longest relationship. It has been just over a year together, and I cherish all the memories and times we have had together. I am not the most patient, or calm, or caring or committed, or greatest person in the world, and yes I get moody and want time to myself, but at the end of the day I couldn't be happier than with the treasure I currently have.

For our one year anniversary I decided to surprise him with a mini picnic on a hammock, with a scrapbook with pictures and things we did each month of the year we have been together, as well as a special cupcake.
The morning went by quickly, but no magic was taken away from that special occasion, and all we have forward to is a life time of moments and memories, but nothing will ever be quite as special as a one year anniversary

Grain free Date Bread

A few weeks ago one of my dad's clients baked what we think was a date bread. Although I am mostly low carb and didnt know the ingredients of this bread, there was so much of it and I didnt want it to go to waste. Toasted, it was amazing, almost like a caramel taste. In all honesty, I found my running for the few days I ate the bread actually improved - I felt more energetic and had more endurance. I searched for a low carb or gluten free version that I can make myself. Carb wise you looking at about 15g on average per date, making it basically your enemy if you are low carb. Rather opt for cranberries - 13g per cup. As an athlete though, dates are so good for you - in moderation of course as 90% of the carbs in a date is sugar. Medjool Dates are high in Potassium (higher than oranges, bananas and spinach), which is great for heart health and to build muscle and proteins in the body. They are also high in fibre, meaning you stay fuller for longer. You also get an energy ...

Homemade Fat Bombs

Fat bombs are excellent if you are following a keto diet, and are struggling to meet your fat requirements or if you maybe need a fat burst before or during exercise.  I found a recipe on The Banting Chef , but it doesn't say how many blocks the recipe yields. As I was making dinner at the same time and do not have freezer space I sort of winged it with my own recipe: Ingredients:  2 x 4 blocks Mojome Sugar-Free Chocolate 80G — Cacao Nib + Rock Salt (86% Cacao) 1/2 tsp erythritol 1/4 tsp Peppermint Essence 12 tsp coconut oil melted Method: Melt 1x4 blocks chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil and place in a small container Mix 10 tsp coconut, peppermint essence and erythritol separately and pour over chocolate Place container in freezer for about 15 minutes Melt 1x4 blocks chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil and pour over frozen mixture in container Place container in freezer I cut this block into 4 small pieces - try to keep these pieces ...

Product Review: Feetures Socks

Last week I decided to buy a new pair of socks, advertised for Plantar Fasciitis Relief, from Feetures . I suffer quite badly on occasion with foot cramps, usually as a result of a fatigued plantar fascia. This worsens when the weather is cold or wet, like it was last week here in Joburg. I have also been using stability shoes for longer runs, as it seems my arch has been collapsing (rolling in), resulting in achilles and calf injuries and tarsal tunnel syndrome. I came across this product by chance on Facebook, on a post of someone asking what to do for Plantar Fasciitis. For a sock, it is on the expensive side, but if it works, then it is worth it. After I ordered, I was contacted by Head Office advising that the sock was dirty, due to some work being done at the warehouse. I was offered to be compensated with another pair of socks and a shirt, which I accepted. When I got home, the socks and shirt had been delivered - super happy with the service from Feetures. I took these s...
