We
don't grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges.
Another
day on track but I did have a glass of wine as I had the points left,
done 3 days without, so it's all good. I had a busy day, the meeting
with my carers support worker went well, I have a few forms to fill
in this weekend now, the most important on being an application for a
carers emergency card which I'll carry around and if anything was to
happen to me, the emergency services would know moms at home and I
take care of her, so they'd contact her and whoever I write down as a
contact.
Meals
that were planned got changed, turned out the chicken I'd had
delivered on Wednesday should've been used by Thursday! Not
impressed at all as I buy fresh because I don't want to have to
freeze stuff when it arrives, I was cooking something else with
chicken today – not now! The to top it off the salmon I'd bought
Wednesday morning from the co-op that we were gonna have that day but
didn't had gone out of date that day, use by same day is a little
naughty for sure! Lesson learned, I need to start checking all the
sell-by dates, but when you're in a rush, you assume when you're
paying those prices the food is damn fresh.
I
picked up a piece of sweet chilli salmon when I topped up with petrol
and had that for my tea on salad, had a real kick to it too.
On
my way back from collecting the commode on the morning, I passed the
Polish shop so I decided it was time to investigate. Turns out
everything in the shop is in Polish! You don't need cake translated
though, you can see what it is, so I got mom a bit, she said they
weren't very sweet! I bought me some stuff of the deli, an
horseradish beetroot, carrot salad and coleslaw, I will definitely be
going back for them. I also had some cooked meat from their meat
counter and it was really good, really fresh too! No use by today on
them! The bread looked amazing, I'll save that for another time...
I
think I just about managed my 10k steps yesterday, I'm just syncing
my Fitbit to find out, yeah I did just over, so since Monday I have
done average 10k a day I'm chuffed with that, my Fitbit says 59,208
but I didn't put it on till lunchtime on Monday, I've got 65
FitPoints, none of which have been used, plus I'm entering the
weekend with 26 weekly points left – WOO HOO! I've also got 5
blue dots in a row on my WW app, I've not every done that I don't
think.
You
watch, I'll get on those scales Monday and I won't have lost! If I
haven't I'll just keep going because ultimately I know it will have
to show at some point, I've learned in all my years as a coach that
bodies are very weird things that sometimes work at their own pace.
Now
what to eat today.... my original plans out the window obviously
because of out-of-date gate, I do have some steak, that's a
possibility, especially as it's Saturday and I'm not one for doing
much after my massage. I've been having a fancy for noodles for a
few days, don't think there's any in my cupboards, I used to love
Batchelors super noodles and haven't had them for years, but at 9sp
for ½ the packet, I'll think twice I reckon, I'd easily eat the
whole packet to myself.
I
might have steak, actifry sweet potato and veggies, I'll give my
fridge a good sort out to then I'll go shopping Monday maybe after my
meeting, or tomorrow if the weathers not so good. But first for a
cracking good morning at the meeting, let's go have some giggles.
Yesterdays
something that made my day memorable and I want to remember was lying
on moms bed together and having a bit of love and a giggle.
Here's
to surviving the weekend BeYOUtiful, we've got this! Let's do this,
no messing about. I can feel me wanting to wander off track and eat
lots of delicous food and drink copious amounts of wine – but I
will stay strong and on track, we've got this!
