1st February 2018
Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a
very powerful thing.
Incredible, it’s the first of February today and my members
ended up losing a total of 164 stone in January, that’s 2,292lb, those pounds
count, every single one of them matters, I’m just so very proud of each and
every member that has been in my meetings this month, no matter how much they’ve
lost (or gained) because they’re doing their best and that’s all we can ever
do. This time of the year isn’t easy for
so many of us, it can dark, cold and gloomy, that’s not exactly motivating, the
lack of daylight affects our mood, the temperature can affect our appetite,
heck the weather can affect our sleep, the rain has just woke me up at 4am
anyways.
Today is ‘Time to Take Day’ in case you didn’t know, what is
it? It’s a chance for us all to be more
open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives. Find out what people are doing, and have your
own conversation about mental health today.
It’s about trying to end mental health discrimination. It’s not always
easy to start those conversation, you’ll find lots of info on the website https://www.time-to-change.org.uk/get-involved/time-talk-day-2018/tips-starting-conversation,
around 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem this year, let’s
make it okay to discuss these things.
Back to weight loss - yep it’s a real boost to see Flex
having the results on my members I hoped it would, it’s not a race to the
finish line, none of us put the weight on overnight and we won’t lose it that
quickly either, but if we can enjoy the journey, that’ll make it easier for
sure.
Right then #FlexFoodFeb, let’s get on this, I noticed some
posts yesterday so good to see you all eating well, let’s see how delicious we
can make this month! You up for the
challenge, I think it’s just what I need.
Foodie February is right up my street, I loves eating after all and I
love to prove that food can be fabulous, good for us and help us to lose
weight.
Let’s make the weight losses in February stronger than they
were in January, it’s a shorter month but could we take that total to 300
stone, how amazing would that be?
If I’m to add to it, I’ll going to have to eat better than I
did yesterday, I skipped breakfast, had a ham sandwich for lunch, a bar of
chocolate for my dinner and a gin and tonic for my tea whilst doing my
paperwork before bed! Yes that’s how not
to do it, so today I’ll show you how to do it.
At least there was tomato on the sandwich, which was a bit of veg, not
very impressive though was my day.
I need to get my tea prepared at lunchtime so I don’t end up
at the chippie, I need to know what I’m coming home to, that’ll keep me in
check. I’ve got 2 stale flatbreads, I
wonder if they’d make okay pizza bases for lunch time? Might have a look, if not they’ll have to be
binned, or made into breadcrumbs.
It’s so good to see all my members in our Facebook group on
it and helping each other. If you’re not
already Flexing, is it time to start?
Yeah come on let’s all get with the programme, I’m going to end my blog
here because I’m going to make the time to cook me some breakfast this morning,
I really fancy chucky eggs! Mmm.
See ya tomorrow BeYOUtiful, well I’ll see some of you in a
little while at the meetings, let’s get ready for another interactive cooking
session shall we…
