20th December 2012
Choose to make the rest of your life, the best of your life!
It’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas! NOT! It’s utter crazy chaos in my house, it’s
never seen so many people in such a short time pass through it, add to that
Terry’s painting all the walls in most rooms and the woodwork in the hall,
stairs and landing and really you have a recipe for disaster, so far so good
though. Alfie has somehow managed to get
around without getting any paint on him so far, that could all change this
morning though as the staircase is quite tacky!
Hey Ho, one more day, 5 more meetings and then I can start
thinking about my Christmas break and a very long four and a half hour drive to
Pembrokeshire; we can leave my brother to it here ;-)
Yesterday was cause for more celebration in my meetings with
another member getting her goal, fabulous to have so much success so close to
Christmas. I had the most amazing
chocolate brownie made for me last night, and not only did it taste divine, and
I’m talking the best damn brownie I’ve ever had, little crunchy on the outside
and rich and smooth but with just the right density of squidgy – amazingly
delicious and it even had glitter in it which made in a magic brownie, so I’m
thinking as it was a gift and magic then surely it was zero ProPoints! Oh how I wish I had baking skills to match
those!
Now because I’m such a dedicated leader and I take my work
very seriously, plus I wanted my members to see the damage you can do if you
stop tracking for 3 weeks and just eat whatever’s going, not really paying
attention to making the wisest choices from the menu. Yes that’s what I have done since the
beginning of December and just for your information I’ve gained almost half a
stone, so please let that be a warning to you this Christmas, it’s all very
well to let the reigns slacken a little but don’t get silly ridiculous or you
may live to regret it! I’m ok with my
gain because if you recall I’d spent the 12 weeks prior to that losing some weight,
so I’m now back to where I started maybe a couple of pounds heavier – it depends
what the scales say today! Although I
think I may have pulled it back a little because honestly I actually get bored
of the bad, I start to miss the green stuff and the healthy, the sluggish feeling
isn’t pleasant and I’ve eaten more salad this week, still not tracked, finding
a pen in my house this week wouldn’t have been easy let alone the kitchen
scales! It’ll all be worth it when the
new carpet has been fitted and I’ve got a nice tidy-ish house apparently.
So today is going to be an emotional day, Kath my clerk at
my Bloxwich meetings is leaving us to go and live in Spain in the New Year, she’s
been a helper in Weight Watcher meetings for over 20 years! She’s helped me for 8 of those and she’s been
a fantastic help at that, I’ve never had to check her work she’s amazing and
today I’m going to cry. We’re having a
bit of a party at the meeting, I’ve ordered cake and I’ll say no more just in
case, but I’m sure she doesn’t read my blog.
Just in case you were wondering and a little bit curious, I
reckon there was approximately 15pp in my magic brownie last night – ignorance isn’t
bliss, it’s often the cause of a weight gain!
On this occasion though I’d take it on the chin and smile.
Remember a healthy lifestyle and taking care of yourself isn’t
about being 100% all of the time, it’s about enjoying what you’re eating,
eating healthy because you want to take care of yourself and indulging in the
occasional treat guilt free and smiling.
That thought pattern has helped
me keep my weight steady for a good few years now, I’ll never be a size 20
again whilst I think and behave in that way!
Ho Ho Ho, it’s Christmas!
