4th December 2017
You are always responsible for how you act, no matter how
you feel. Remember that.
“Are you alright little man?” Those were the words that woke me at 5am this
morning, mom then had a full blown conversation with Alfie so I decided to get
up, did the bathroom and asked mom, “Are you awake”, yes was the reply followed
by another yes when I offered her a cup of tea.
Off I went downstairs, fed the not my cat, looked at my lovely new tile
floor and came back up with a mug of tea, yep she’s gone back to sleep!
Yesterday was a long day for her though, workmen were
downstairs until gone 7pm so we were trapped upstairs. They did work hard and
it looks fantastic, I’m seriously pleased with it, and the kitchen is now
almost complete, the last unit came be done now and I have an awesome kitchen
for Christmas – happy me. I’m feeling
the living room needs new curtains though as well as painting but there’s no
rush for that, we’re home improvements overloaded for now I reckon.
My diet has gone to pot, what with the Christmas buffet
Saturday and the KFC yesterday (I had to feed those hardworking boys!), it was
incredibly ugly on those scales this morning, 5lb on ugly! I’m praying that’s jelly fat and I can get it
off before it sets! Just goes to show
how much damage can be done in the month of December if we decide to give up
and start again in January! I’m back on
it today, healthy all the way.
Temptation! It really
does make weight loss difficult and at this time of year, it’s everywhere, we
talked about coping in the meetings last week and I didn’t. So here are a few tips I need to take onboard
myself;
- Remove
the temptation – You can’t eat what isn’t there, that’s why the last bit of
cold KFC is going out to the cats this morning!
- Keep
your energy levels up – self-control requires energy, so make sure you get a
good night’s sleep and enjoy a healthy diet.
Don’t skip meals at this time of year, it’s lethal.
- Set
small specific goals – focus on what you want to acheve, keep it realistic and
that’ll help you stay in control, especially if you remind yourself of how far
you’ve come.
- If
it all goes to pot, give yourself a break, I’m not sat here crying over my
gain, I’m planning how to get it back off.
Step 1, remove all the crap left hanging about, Step 2, Have a healthy
breakfast, Step 3, Get a healthy dinner in the slow cooker because I’ve got a crazy
busy day.
Starting with trying to put the living room back together,
the wires on the tv/sky/video etc are terrifying to look at, let alone put back
together. I’m trying to stay off
Facebook because mom and I want to watch the XFactor final together and it
would be nice if I don’t know the winner beforehand. Once the house has been put back together, I’ve
got to do a stock take for work, I was meant to do it Saturday but I was at
work all day, plus there were workmen in my house all weekend so I couldn’t
even get to the stock. I’ll get it done
today though, it’s all good.
Better get started hadn’t I, I may even put my phone on
silent so I can actually get stuff done uninterrupted.
Enjoy your day BeYOUtiful, make Monday matter.
