Food shouldn't taste so good!

 Monday 11th November 2024

It's never a bad thing to start over if you feel you need to!  Anyone who knows me, knows I regularly start over with refocusing on my eating habits - I JUST BLOOMIN LOVE FOOD!  Plus the little 'issue' of red wine too :) 

Today, I'll try again to lose a few pounds before Christmas because I really do want to be able to drink Baileys and eat chocolate over the holidays without panicking that my clothes won't fit me on January 2nd!  

If I can lose a bit then I can gain a bit - not the best attitude for some I guess but that is me and I'm not likely to change at almost 55!  Could I?  Of course!  Will I?  Nah, I like being me, even with the spare tyre.  Don't get me wrong if I woke up tomo two stone lighter, I'd be good with that but am I will to not do all the things that cause that extra weight - erm NAH, I'm not. 

However, I'm having a word with myself again and asking if I'm willing to tweak a little and aim for making small changes even if they're not every day.  Yeah I am, I'm going for slow, slow, slow going forward because it's not working the other way.  I lose a couple of pound when I haven't expected too and then I think I've got it nailed.  

This week I will work at tracking everything to try and understand how my metabolism works, ooo I like the idea of the run up to Christmas as being me pressing a massive reset button and using this time as a pre run for next year, me getting to know my body again and what works, what doesn't.

I've planned our meals for the next four evenings, using up leftover pork for a spaghetti and sauce dish today, Aryn can have leftover steak with chips tomo and I'll have egg and beans with mine, I'm doing taco beef I think Wednesday and Chicken Nashville on Thursday, a packet mix thing that was reduced in Tesco, I have a couple of frozen breasts that can go with that.

If I can use up all the stuff I've got in the freezer, stay away from shops, I'll be able to do a bit of Christmas shopping for stocking fillers. 

Despite the lack of losing weight, I've had a wonderful week, went back to the gym, we had a lesson at Millride Saturday after a nice quiet night in the Lancaster, they had a singer who was actually very good, the music was just too loud where we were sat so had to move.  Maybe I'm just getting old!

Life is good regardless of the number on the scales, it's not my fault, dinner shouldn't taste so delicious :) 

Right, I have a busy day, so I better get started.

Hope you're world is good and your mind is calm.

Have a great day,

Mwah, luv ya

Love me!
