Live
a life that causes your soul to dance inside your body...
Summer
Solstice, the longest day, the pessimists amongst us might be saying
'oh it's all downhill from now' but that's not true, it's also the
start of summer, oh yes and today is set to be a very hot day
apparently. Today is a great day to check in on yourself, what
progress have you made towards your dreams and goals, are you doing
enough to help them come to fruition? If you are, woo hoo, go you,
if not, what can you do? The Summer Solstice is the annual
opportunity to take advantage of the abundance of light that can help
us release burdens, doubts and fears, so we can become a little
freer, how can you honor the sun – get in it, soak it up, since,
dance or create, go out there and enjoy it in some way. Play, just
because you're a grown up doesn't mean you can still play! At work
all day and don't have time for playing? Go buy yourself a bunch of
fresh flowers for the house, celebrate the new life that the sun
gives.
Anyway
back to all things Weight Watchers, I had an excellent day yesterday,
ended my day on 28 Smart Points, check me out and I did track
everything, no wine meant it was easy to stay in my allowance. My
meals were delicious too, I had fruit for breakfast, mostly because I
ran out of time, doesn't happen often but it did yesterday. For our
lunch we had Chicken
sausage panzanella for 6sp, it was delicious, on page 44 of the new
Chicken cookbook, so many recipes I want to try in this book, I've
ordered the ingredients for 3 of them to come in my food delivery
today.
For
tea I did a concoction with stuff that needed using and it was
unexpectedly delicious, a couple of pieces of lambs liver, 2 slices
of back bacon, a courgette sliced up, mushrooms, onion, all stir
fried together, then served on a jacket potato with a little gravy
and a spoonful of red cabbage, it was seriously good and only 13sp.
I had a good 7sp left after tracking everything including my milk in
my tea and the coca cola I'd drunk because I'd picked up the wrong
bottle and it wasn't diet! I've fancied a mug of horlicks for ages
so decided to use the points on that, 5sp for the light version –
ouch! Then double ouch because I spilt it and scolded my leg, not
impressed at al, wine has never caused me such pain! Just saying!
I
ended up having a long walk yesterday morning, well not so much long
as heavy, I'd took Alfie for a quick whizz round the block so he
could do his business before the weather got too warm, we ended up
helping an old lady find her daughters house, she'd come out of hers
to walk down and had lost her way and ended up off track. By now it
was too warm for Alfie so I had to carry him, we were out an hour, my
arms know they've been weight lifting this morning I can tell you!
The lady did have dementia but I do think the heat and dehydration
had probably made her worse poor love.
My
skipping ropes arrived so I'm going to start by building up a minute
here and there to get me moving more, my fitbit had over 14k steps on
yesterday, I was really pleased with that. Busy today so not sure
I'll get that many on there but I'll aim for the 10k, mom and I are
at the doctors this morning, I'm cooking my bestie lunch, then I have
my meetings tonight of course. But apparently I'm off to walk the dog
first because he's just appeared behind me! I've told him I've just
got to post this blog.
Here's
to a super summer solstice, enjoying the day, staying on track,
focusing on the positives, I heard truly sad news off some of my
members yesterday, it made me count my blessings!
Yesterdays
something that made my day memorable and I want to remember was, the
conversation in my meeting this morning about sleeping in this heat
and the chat I had with the old lady I helped home, oh and my dinner
which was epic!
