I think I can safely say that I have too much time on my hands right now. So what do I do? I make a mess of websites and create new designs and layouts and think of stuff I maybe wouldn’t think of if time was a little more limited… But as it is, I do have that time so I changed the layout. What do you think? Looking good? I know I changed the layout a while back and than changed it back to the original again because of a few things that didn’t quite work as planned. But I’m planning on keeping this one for a bit.

As far as delicious salads go; I made this one together with Tom as he is my trusted right hand in the kitchen right now. Or should I say my trusted legs as I still have my hands but cannot use my legs. haha… Whichever the case, this is a delicious salad. As we all know January is by far thé month in the year where everyone feels the need to eat healthy and lose weight. I – on the other hand – am trying to not gain weight and I can tell you that is virtually impossible if you don’t move at all. I don’t count using the wheelchair as that does require a bit of arm muscle but is to be neglected really.

So I do my best to eat healthy but a lot of people feel the need to pamper me with delicious sweets and bring me chocolate and liqorice and stuff I should really not be eating. Well meant but I can feel I am growing in size… So more salads is the way to go. Or at least more veggies. Doesn’t have to be salads but I do need healthy food people!

  2. Hey there Simone! this salad looks delicious and healthy!
    I can imagine your frustration with immobility. But more important than a few extra pounds is the healing and being able to walk nd eventually run again.
    Patience is hard work but you are strong and lucky to have Tom by your side and the furry babies to keep you amused.
    Get better soon Dear!

    • I know that is more important Karin, but I’m also thinking that any extra kilo’s are not going to help when I am finally able to move again. With most leg muscles gone I’m pretty sure that the lighter the better! And you know patience is so not my strongest point!
