Celebrate the happiness that friends
are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!
Well I managed a week without wanting to eat more than I’d
intended, that feeling ended yesterday, I knew it was too good to last, but I
stayed on track, I had a bit more but didn’t go ridiculous plus what I had was
good food. I didn’t give in to the
packet of bakes in my meeting I waited till I got home. Thankfully I’d made that cheese, potato and
veggie layer bake thing and it was delicious enough to eat twice. I ended on 45pp, earned 8pp so used 11pp from
my weeklies on my fresh week, that’s ok we will survive another week because I
want another weight loss, today’s weigh in day.
I spend a bit of time looking at cottages for our
Christmas break yesterday and then I thought ooo I’d like a weekend away, but
after looking at the prices for Easter I decided against it, and instead
thought to myself what would I do if I went away for the weekend, and the
answer was ‘chill out’, ‘read’, ‘have a bubble bath’, ‘not work’, ‘eat good
food’ and ‘drink good wine’ and also ‘go for a walk if the weather was nice’, ‘spend
time with mom;. I then realised there’s
nothing stopping me doing that at home and pretending I’m away, so that is the
plan this weekend, we’re hopefully having a day out Friday, then I have a massage
booked at tea time so once that’s done I’m locking the door and having a
holiday at home – I’m quite excited ;-) gonna plan a couple of movies too.
So like Oliver yesterday did I feel like saying, “Please
sir, can I have some more”, almost all day long, I ate well, possibly more than
the Wednesday before, so why did I want more.
It just goes to show that there are lots of different aspects to take
into consideration – the weather (temperature dropped back down and sun went
in) and hormones (where in the monthly cycle) for just two examples. Another reason could have been (I’m not sure)
that I felt rushed all day, like I was behind with my work and playing catch up
but not quite getting it all done (mmm that’s one to keep my eye on, never
realised before, I know I get the munchies when I’m tired but maybe this is
another trigger). So when you’re beating
yourself up because you just can’t stay on track – STOP! Remember it’s not easy and there are lots of
things that get in the way, our mission is to identify them and find solutions
for each. So I’m going to think about
some for myself, it might be to have a filling and healthy day planned for days
like those, have one already planned for if one of those days sneaks up on me
because of course you never know when they will hit! Luckily yesterday I had good filling food prepared
and of course I’m even more lucky that I have a good mate to chat too to help
remind me I’m losing weight!
The Warburton square wrap panini is going down a treat,
yesterday I had a turkey ham, mushroom & mozzarella cheese one for 8pp,
today I may just have cheese and tomato, just loving it for breakfast, but of
course it would make a great lunch too.
I’m going to get a couple of tub/tins of fruit to carry
round in my bag/car so I always have a snack that will keep so if I’m peckish I’ve
got something for zero ProPoints.
Sorting my places and getting into a routine just like the plan
recommends and focusing on one thing at a time.
So will I lose weight today? I better ;-) !
No I should, I’ll be pleased with a pound because I’ve
enjoyed my meals, I’m going to have to be careful this weekend if I’m having my
at home holiday that I don’t go crazy and think, ‘sod it I’m on my holidays!’
because I would like to keep losing even if it’s 1/2lb a week.
Well today is my busiest day so I’m going to have a good
breakfast, I’ve got two possible meals in fridge ready for lunch and tea, but I’m
tempted to make liver and onions because I’ve just seen the liver in the fridge
and thought mmm nice! The mash is
already done so I could use that – yeah think I will because mom and Alfie will
eat liver too and the iron will do us both good.
Right I’m off, lots to do, don’t want to feel like I’m
playing catch up again all day today. Have
a truly gorgeous day because we’re amazing!
