Life tip – Do YOU and embrace the current season of your
life.
I’ve just gone done to make a cuppa for mom and me, not been
up long, before I went down I was in the bathroom cleaning my teeth thinking, ‘right,
we’ve had a lovely weekend of indulgence, time to sort it out now and get on
track’ then I walked in the kitchen and noticed the tub of crackers! My first thought was, ‘well I can’t get on
track till they’ve gone, plus that cheese in the fridge’ but as I’ve sat here,
I’m reminding myself that I can, cheese is allowed on the plan, everything in
moderation, so here goes me back in control complete with cheese. Watch this
space!
I’ll be having eggy crumpets for breakfast because I bought
them yesterday reduced, plus they’re really filling, maybe No Count is an
option today, get some balance back, put the crackers out of sight, I don’t
need to be eating them till the weekend really or as a little snack here and
there, I’ll do the same with the cheese.
I need to clear my body out today.
We have leftover beef from yesterday’s dinner so I can have that on No
Count too, I’m out this afternoon and won’t be back to late so I could take
some beef sandwiches with me, yeah there’s a good idea.
My kitchen’s painted – it looks amazing, I had to smile as I
was explaining a colour to Alexis and she was getting me, I showed her a plate
I have and said, ‘a bit like this but lighter, you know like an oatmeal’, when
we were telling Terry, his eyes rolled back in his head as he said oh your like
my rich clients when they say they want colours like ‘Egyptian cotton’ and I
tell em they mean mucky white which is what the walls will be in a few months
anyway. He put me straight and told me
the oatmeal colour I wanted was in fact Magnolia and you know what, he was
right, that’s exactly the colour I wanted and it looks great. Now to clean up the mess and then it’s nearly
all finished, the floors next on the to-do list.
Luckily I’d put the beef in the oven on the morning on gas
mark 1, we couldn’t get back in the room till about 4 because of the painting
so in half hour I did the rest, peas (love frozen petit pois), yorkies (frozen
cheap uns!), stuffing, leftover mash and gravy.
I had done roasters round the joint but they weren’t good, everything else
on the plate was delicious though and the gravy, oh my days you cannot beat
gravy made with the beef juices, veg water and bisto gravy granules, that’s how
I like my gravy, you all can do whatever works for you, that’s what works for
me. How many points, I have no clue and
neither do I care. I know that we didn’t
go crazy eating yesterday, I even had a Jam doughnut by the side of me and it’s
still there, I didn’t need or want it.
The overindulging we did Saturday did me good as it reminded
me that’s not how I eat and I won’t be doing that over Christmas now, so that’s
a bonus. Never regret your behaviour,
the good days make you happy, the bad days give you experiences and the worst
days give lessons, oh and the best days of course give amazing memories. I’ve
come away with memories this weekend and apart from the Stifado and the beef
dinner none of the food we ate really played any part in those memories, the
Stifado because my brother cooked for me, that was pretty precious and the beef
dinner because I don’t often get to eat a Sunday roast with family. Yeah the weekend was about much more than
eating but I won’t lie some of the eating was good.
He’s to a busy but on track day on No Count, I’ve got
this! You’ve got this too BeYOUtiful,
let’s do this!
