The most important work you will ever do will be within the
walls of your home.
Well it’s a glorious morning and
I’ve been out walking with Alfie for half hour, my knees clicking lovely and my
lower back hurts, it wasn’t hurting until I did the washing up. It seems my
body doesn’t like to stand, I’ve got the doctors today and I’m waiting for the
“you’re overweight” line and being told that losing some pounds would help my
knee, but the other knees okay and thats holding the same weight up!
I’m not gonna be getting a weight
loss again this week and I wished that bothered me but it doesn’t, the only
thing that bothers me right now is being content and making it through each day
patient with mom, I’d be lying if I said that was easy. Some days are, Saturday
was great, Friday was half and half Sunday was bloody hard work. Now if I could
just have that click that makes me really want the weight loss and turn it into
a project almost that would be brilliant but it’s not happening. Doesn’t mean I
won’t keep trying though, I’ll start again today with eggs and do what I can to
limit any damage and survive the storm that is Alzheimer’s!
I’ve got maintenance sussed, I
mostly eat healthy so it’s not all bad, we’ve got pizza today, the M&S ones
so only about 12SP, I’ll have egg and tomatoes on toast for breakfast so
that’ll only cost me 3SP and I’ve got a leftover chicken breast I can have for
tea, might buy a salad bowl to go with it, oh to go to sleep and wake up a
stone lighter. As if!

Well I’ve walked Alfie and just been to get the papers, the
force in me is strong today, my favourite chips were in the chiller section all
reduced and I’ve left them there! Oh
yeah, check me out…
I may not be dropping a pound a week or going down dress
sizes, but I am making healthy choices, keeping my sanity at a very difficult
time in my life and focusing on all the wonderful positives that I do have in
my world that can’t be measured by a set of scales.
I’ve bought bananas, strawberries, peppers, cucumber,
mushrooms and iceberg lettuce, those will do me much more good than the best
chips on the planet, I had them yesterday with my chicken and veg, so
good. Today’s salad will be equally as
good, I love a wedge of iceberg with some WW garlic and herb dressing on. I’ve just got to make the effort and remind
myself good food is also delicious.
Right I’ve got a lot to do this morning in my office, then I
have 2 appointments one with the doctor for my knee, the other with the nurse
for the horrid smear test – as vile as it is ladies, make sure you get yours
when it’s due, it’s far better than what could happen if you don’t have it!
Ooo you need a challenge, well as I’ve already just planned
my meals for the day, that can be our challenge today, to plan all your meals
for today. I might even sit in the
garden later and take a photo of the contents of my fridge / cupboards and work
out a week of meals, if it’s planned I might be more likely to stick to it.
Here’s to a great day, the first of a great week. Let’s do this.
