Just because you aren't
making progress as fast as you think you should does not mean you
aren't making progress. Keep going...
We decided to go
healthy for lunch yesterday, we both want to lose weight so healthy
is the way forward, I've got that meeting on July 13th
that I'd like half stone gone for and my bestie has a wedding at the
end of July she wants 10lb gone. We need to remind each other of
this and remember for the next 4-6 weeks. We've got this!
I'm so glad I made that
decision too as our lunch was delicious if I do say so myself I baked
my salmon fillets with a little lemon and some chives, then roasted
some vegetables alongside them. I sliced 2 courgettes into very fine
strips so they were about the same thickness as the wholewheat
linguine I was cooking, I cooked it in a separate pan with a chicken
stockpot to add a little flavour to it and then when both were cooked
I stirred together and the result was delicious, would definitely
make again, my portion was 10sp or No Count, bonus.
Having cooked like that
yesterday, it's given me some of my cooking mojo back, I enjoyed it,
I'm going to get back into being more creative in the kitchen, that's
one of the things I plan to do this weekend, sit and plan and get
creative. Looking at the weather, there won't be much else I'll be
wanting to do! What a wet, murky day, not to worry, I'll find
plenty to do indoors, also I play to have a day of doing not a lot of
anything after my meeting this morning.
It goes to show where
you shop can save you a lot of money, I wanted salmon, I popped into
M&S because I was going to treat us to something really nice, the
salmon was £6.50 for 2 pieces, in Co-op over the road I got 4 pieces
for £7 not a bad difference! Plus I had collected points on my
Co-op card since it's opened so I got them for free using that. I
need to nip to Lidls to check out how much they are there as I really
do like a bit of salmon and if doing No Count it makes it free, worth
it on a counting day too I reckon as it's tasty, mmm.
Had a fantastic night
at Essington last night, it was lovely to see the room so full and
the best bit was when one of my new members said, 'I've got a good
feeling about this meeting, I had it as soon as I walked in, you know
when you're buying a new house and it just feels right, that's how it
felt'. How lovely is that to know that my helpers and my members are
doing something right! Actually they're obviously doing everything
right if that's how a new member feels on their first night.
Now what to eat today?
I enjoyed having fish yesterday, now fancying some white fish but
don't have any fresh, theres a couple of pieces in the freezer but
they've got to have been there over a year! I enjoyed the pasta too,
not had that for a long time, maybe a No Count day today, ooo I have
steak, that can be my dinner with chips and mom can have egg and
beans, mmm steak and onions and mushrooms, sorted. I'll have eggs on
toast for breakfast. I definitely need to write a proper shopping
list and plan some meals tomorrow then. I've got a bag of ranch
coleslaw mix, that'll go nice on the side too and I can what's left
for a snack with some crackers later if I want, or on a slice of
bread.
Anyway, I'm starting to
waffle about food, I can't help it, I likes it a lot, the chips might
have to be mash, see my minds still on the food, ooo mustard mash or
chorizo mash, maybe I'll end up counting so I can have that,
decisions, decisions, so nice to have the choice.
Right I'm off, here's
to making our grey sky silver and having a cracking good day, we can
survive the weekend BeYOUtiful, we got this!
