12th September 2012 – that’s the date I finally
had to click the heating system on this morning when I got out of bed, it’s
official, summer is done! Hey ho, that
means Autumns here and I loves autumn with all the leaves changing colour and
the crisp dry days, yay, time for turning over a new leaf if you haven’t done
so already.
I’ve labelled myself a “wonderful work-in-progress” and as Weight
Watchers have give us a ’12 weeks to Glow” challenge, I’M GLOWING FOR IT! Are
you?
Yep I’m on it like a car bonnet, I’m taking it steady, I’m
keeping it real, I’ll be happy with a pound loss tomorrow on those scales
because I’ve enjoyed my meals everyday this week and I’ve included my wine, if I
can do that and lose weight, then I’ll be more than glowing I’ll be on fire!
Delicious chicken curry and rice for tea last night for
10pp, I was going to have half of the dish which I cooked that served 4, but
instead I had a third and that was more than plenty. I spent 12pp on a scrumptious fish finger sandwich
for lunch with tartare sauce, salad and home made Tzatziki which too was
delicious, although the Tzatziki was a bit messy think I’ll buy it ready made in
future. Not forgetting breakfast which
was an apple, pear and banana chopped with 130g of Activia natural yogurt poured
over it and the 10g of agave syrup drizzled on top, mmm nice.
Yes if I can eat like this and lose a little at a time, I’ve
decided, I’ll be pleased. I’m also using
the next few weeks to put together a month of meal plans together with a
shopping list so that in future I can save myself time and money but not taste,
I want to enjoy the meals I eat and I’m realising that sometimes the easiest of
meals (i.e. fish fingers) are the tastiest.
Today I’ve got chicken and rice casserole which was pre-made in the
freezer, I’m also going to have buffalo mozzarella salad nom nom because I
can! I might even have a gammon sandwich
for my breakfast because I have one slice left that mom didn’t fancy. Oh I love being on a weight loss plan and
enjoying my food, WOW I never thought I’d say that a few years ago, the words ‘weight
loss’ & ‘enjoying food’ didn’t go together when I used to go on a diet at
all! Now I eat tastier, nicer food when
I am on track than when I’m not, when I’m not my life tends to revolve around
not very good convenience food. A member
actually said on Monday that she often had KFC when she was off track, I told
her she could have it anyway if she ProPointed it and then she admitted she
doesn’t even like it, it’s just quick and easy when she’s being lazy, her
solution from now on – so is a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket, it’s
already cooked and takes minutes to buy and dish up! There’s always a better, tastier option.
Yesterday was fabulous in my meetings, 185lb lost in total
in one day, that’s over 13 stone gone in a week by my members at Short
Heath. I also awarded three 50lb
certificates to Brian and his wife Linda, they’re doing it together ;-) and
also to Kathryn who is looking stunning if I do say so myself, she’d had her
hair cut and it looks fab, it’s took years off her, it really has.
Yep the proof is in the results and we are getting those
results week on week, another three new gold members last week, 73 so far this
year, and a total of 1,525 stone lost in my meetings alone! Oh my word, that’s amazing. So if you’re up for our 12 week glow for it
challenge, remember writing down and sharing your goals means you’re more
likely to stick to them, it’s been proven – it’s fact. So be proud and share your plans, change your
profile photo to the one above or post it on your facebook wall, let’s be proud
that we plan to take care of ourselves and get healthy and a sensible way – we don’t
need quick fixes, we want reality and tasty!
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
