Next time you think about throwing in the towel, remember
how much laundry you already have!
Losing weight is about lifestyle. Agree?
If you can include healthier habits into your daily routine then weight
loss will happen naturally. I sat in the
Chinese takeaway last night waiting for one for my guests and myself for our
tea, it has to be the first time I’ve been in one for quite a long time, I
definitely haven’t been in one this year, and can’t remember, but I’ve just
searched my blogs and it was last September.
It was quite busy in there and I asked are you always this busy, he
replied ‘this is quiet’, then went on to tell me on a Saturday night he answers
both phones at once, his daughter helps too and they easily do a hundred
deliveries, that wouldn’t include the collections and drop ins. That takeaway is most likely a weekly habit
for a lot of people and just got me to thinking, I know I’m not the best loser
in the world but my eating habits are pretty healthy most of the time. I have
to say as takeaways go, his was the healthiest Chinese I’d had ever I think and
a vast improvement on the last time I’d been there. Think it’s called the Golden Gate at the new
invention island, next to the chilli peppers.
Anyway, habits, I know straight away we thinking exercise
and healthy foods, but what else could it mean. Have you noticed when all is good in your
world, weight loss is easier, we like routine and normality don’t we. We function better after a good night’s
sleep, so that’s a good habit to get into, make sure you go to bed at a
reasonable time, I went later than I’m used to last night and I know it’ll
affect me.
If your work lunch was ready for you to take with you when
you got up and dressed would you be likely to stick to only eating that and stay
on track? Hell yeah, so why not get into
the routine of putting your lunch up the night before when you’re preparing
dinner, or after you’ve eaten it. Before
you go to bed anyways.
Would getting into a regular shopping habit help you lose
weight, shopping online maybe and adding to the basket throughout the week as
you run out.
What else might help?
I just realise having visitors here this week, how in a routine mom and
I are, and how much I like it.
My brother and Dan worked really hard yesterday, they spent
the day clearing as much of the garden as they could, trust me there was a lot
to clear, I can’t tell you how grateful I am, how much of a difference it’s
going to make to our lives. At the
moment, the garden isn’t safe for mom to go outside nor Alfie to be honest, I’m
sure that’s how he ended up with an ulcer on his eye, by messing about in those
bushes. They’ve going to get as much
done as possible whilst they’re here and I know he’ll do a great job because
that’s what he does. I’m just letting
him do what he thinks will work because he knows more about this than me, I’ve
gone down the ‘pretty’ road and it isn’t sustainable and it’s damned hard work
on maintenance, I don’t have the time these days for gardening.
It made me think, sometimes you need to completely go back
to nothing and rebuild rather than trying to repair put a plaster so to speak
on what you already have, I know they won’t have time to do the entire garden
but I’m looking forward to seeing what they can get done and having the
Summerhouse up so we can sit and chill in there if we ever get a summer!
Now I think today will be an interesting long day, so I
better get to it, I have paperwork to get done, evening meetings tonight and I’m
sure my brother is going to have things for me to do – wish me luck…
Have a good day BeYOUtiful xx
