Brighter, longer days promise us that summer is on its way; I’m definitely a girl who loves the Spring. It doesn’t take much to boost my mood, bike rides and a dog walks through the woods, visiting the blue bells and noting the increasing numbers of buds on the plants, throwing open all the windows in the house to let the winter air out and the spring air in, drying washing on the line and swapping wellies and heavy coats for trainers and lighter jackets. I know the weather can be a bit ‘iffy’ but there’s hope yet for a warm Summer!
On to matters of the figure. You know I always say that ‘fitness is for life not just for the bathing suit season’ well I firmly believe that to be true and yet I’m a realist and know that many folks are more motivated to sort out their diet and exercise with a holiday date booked in their diary. Ok so I’m here ready to advise, support and nag if you so wish regarding matters of Fitness and Food, and so to that end I have a yummy low carb recipe for you to try later on in this missive.
It’s been a busy Bank Holiday here at the DYBO HQ so read on for news!

Abbi’s 10k
Abbi is continuing with her running events, completing the Frimley 10k in her personal best time – well done Abbi!.
Now PB’s can really motivate some and that’s great but it’s also ok to simply rock up and participate. Running or walking, it doesn’t matter as long as you do it. If the thought of competing puts you off remember that it’s important to some but not to others and everyone can be and do as they wish.
I tried out my new bike with dog carrier on the front and Mini and I headed of to Frimley to cheer Abbi on, click below to see our video…

I was inspired after eating out at a local restaurant to find a yummy low carb curry recipe and came across this one; let me know what you think.
Low Carb Chicken Curry
- coconut oil for frying
- 1 red onion
- 2 tbs curry paste (I like Red Thai)
- 500g chicken thighs diced
- 200ml coconut cream
- 250g green beans
Coconut, Cashew, Cauliflower Rice
- ½ cauliflower
- 200ml coconut cream
¼c cashews chopped
Low Carb Chicken Curry
- Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion and curry paste together.
- Add the diced chicken and fry until cooked but still soft.
- Add the coconut cream and simmer for 15 minutes while making the cauliflower rice.
- Place the green beans (topped, tailed and cut in half) for the last few minutes of cooking time. It’s nice if they remain slightly crunchy.
Cauliflower Rice
- Grate Cauliflower
- Place the grated cauliflower into a large saucepan, add the coconut cream and stir. If cream is too thick, add some warm water.
- Simmer until the cauliflower is cooked and the coconut cream/milk has been absorbed. Stir constantly to avoid sticking to the pan.
- Add the chopped cashews and mix through.
Serve immediately
Have a fab week and remember to tell everyone about how great our classes, one to one services and events are, and help spread the DYBO love!
Love ya,
Helen xx
