Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.
Good Friday, let's make it good then shall we, if your
instant response to that idea was 'chance would be a fine thing' or 'I wish' or
similar then it's time to do something about your life. I love to learn from others, I also love
people who make me think, at least two have done that this week, one was last
night on Facebook when she posted this;

Was
speaking to the practice nurse today about medications that cause weight gain
and she gave me a brilliant answer our female GP gives to patients ...
A pill has no calories and therefore cannot make you gain weight it may however make you feel hungrier and in that case it is up to you what you eat when you open the cupboard and fridge door! I love straight talking people!

Interesting theory and of course lots of comments and
responses followed, it's food for thought, my response was I've been on medication
since I was ten that is known for causing weight gain, I've been 8st and I've
been over 14st, I've always took the medication, that never changed, what I ate
and drank changed a lot! Here you'll
find the NHS official take on it http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/loseweight/Pages/Puttingonweight.aspx
& http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/loseweight/Pages/medical-reasons-for-putting-on-weight.aspx
If you're taking medication, I think this is worth thinking
about, I know my medication affects my appetite massively, sometimes I overate,
sometimes I don't - I do know I have been able to control that appetite, so
what changes, it isn't the dosage so something in my brain helps me with that
control or lack thereof, the mind is a very powerful tool.
I've eaten well the last 2 days and I can feel the
difference in how I feel, my emotional wellbeing is much better, yes this could
also be about where I am on my hormonal cycle but it could also be to do with
the food I've decided to eat. I can't
share yesterdays photos, I'm having phone problems, my battery keeps dying in
hours, so after a lovely chat with an Apple lady, she's suggested I reset my
phone to factory settings for 24 hours and have no apps to see if it's the
phone or an app something in the background causing it, so I am without
Facebook and messenger as apps - eek.
I've also lost over 400 life's on my Candy Crush which I was storing up
for if I was ever stuck somewhere and needed to pass the time. I must have changed because a year ago this
would have devastated me, now it's just 'hey, ho, there you go, I'll cope' I
must have grown up, or realised it's all just stuff.
The other person who said something that reminded me to
think had just handed her notice in (don't worry I'm not) and she said she had
always told her kids "If you're not happy - change something." I've always believed this too, no matter how
long it takes or how little that change is.
For me Wednesday morning it was how I was feeling and trying to identify
the cause, which is why I've changed my eating over the last two days to see if
it would make a difference.
Changing my house is making me happier too, just getting rid
of all that stuff has cleared my head enormously, I like to walk into my house
now, don't get me wrong there's still work to do both on the house and on my
ways (I'm not gonna become a domestic goddess overnight - but I'm improving), I
do feel so much better though.
Yesterday I opted for No Count, you don't need photos to
know that, I had scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast for breakfast, I used
18g of protein cheese which when weighed came up as 0sp (I need more of these
zero cheats in my life - if you know any, let me know please), lunch was salmon
and roasted veg with quinoa and chick peas - loving my grains at the moment,
then for tea I had steak, onions, edamame beans and brown rice, delicious
everything I ate yesterday was. I think
I might go with No Count again today, we shall see, I have a joint of beef
wants cooking, I'm thinking a roast dinner perhaps, we shall see, I have
leftover rice with onions and beans downstairs, I'm gonna have that for my
breakfast because I can and it'll make me happy.
Right I had me a lie in till half 6, I love that, so I
better get a wriggle on, it's not a day off for me, business as usual tonight
at Essington Community Centre, I'll be there for my regular 5.30pm meeting and
tomorrow at Old Fallings 9am, so no excuses if you haven't been to a meeting
this week, why not come and jump on my scales and say hi.
Have a GOOD FRIDAY Beyoutiful, I plan too.
