The great thing in this world is
not so much where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. Oliver
Wendell Holmes
Oh well it’s
certainly Monday Morning, I actually slept to my alarm despite having an early
night and it’ just taken me a good ten minutes to make a cuppa and sort moms
tablets, she nearly ended up with the wrong ones because I was half
asleep! Note to self – put tablets up at
a time of day when I’m not half asleep in future to save killing your mother!
I had a very
lazy day yesterday too, I did go to the shop to look at that canvas but changed
my mind when I saw the price, I’m going to have a go at making something like
it myself, because I’ll enjoy doing that too.
If you could have heard me and Lynne shopping on Friday we said that
about everything, “we can make that!” but I actually can make this, it won’t be
like the one in the shop but I’ll be able to make a small enough version to
have in my office which will be better as that’s where I spend most of my time.
So other
than a bit of window shopping and food shopping, the rest of my day consisted
of watch tele, reading, a nice bath and a distinct lack of vegetables! Yes I realised this weekend my diet has been
very carb heavy and veg less, so will need to rectify that situation
today. I’ve not felt like cooking at all
so maybe I’ll buy a salad or some frozen veg, we’ll see.
Oh yeah I
did do a bit of scrapbooking too and I gave my office a slight tidy up so I wasn’t
completely lazy, only almost.
I’ve just
realised four weeks today will be Christmas eve – oh my word, that’ll be here
before we know it and in the words of Greg Wallace (one of the new faces of
Weight Watchers)
"Christmas
for me is a time of indulgence so I won’t be holding back. That’s the beauty of
Weight Watchers. It takes the stress away, keeps you in control and allows you
the odd indulgence – and what better way to spend your weekly allowance! I know
I’ll go for a jog the next day to help earn some activity ProPoints to balance it out."Gregg Wallace
I’m with his there, I will be indulging this
Christmas but I won’t be making myself ill doing it, I can’t eat like I used to
my body doesn’t like it, and my most recent Gold member Susannah seems to
agree, she wrote on face book yesterday
“Well I have proper celebrated reaching my goal
weight... I haven’t stopped eating this week lol! My body just can't take the
rubbish or that much food anymore lol back on it tomoz xx”
I think we
get to a place where we realise we don’t need so much and we can still enjoy
life, perhaps enjoy it more because we’re not uncomfortable sat at that table
in the restaurant. I do not want to be
sat there Christmas afternoon feeling absolutely stuffed to the uncomfortable
point, I want to have enjoyed my dinner and be sitting watching the kids play,
maybe even playing their games with them and laughing and enjoying ourselves,
not sitting there in pain or sleeping through the one day we’ve waited months
for it to arrive!
Four
weeks! I’m thinking I need an advent calendar
in my life, but not a chocolate one, I’m not a fan, will look into that, but
first I will get ready for work and walk Alfie.
If you do
want to earn some activity ProPoints, there’s a £2 coupon in this weeks Weight
Watcher email which you get automatically if you have esource and you can also
become a community user by registering https://www.weightwatchers.co.uk/signup/registration/StepOne.aspx
Right I’m
off for a walk with my pedometer, I have 7pp I like to earn on a Monday!
Take care of
you. xx
