The
mind is just another muscle. Ted Turner
It’s
been a long night, well for me anyway, not sure why, I did go to bed early –
just before nine and I feel like I’ve been there a very long time, got up at
five. I think it was because Alfie was
restless, he’s not 100%, something scratched his eye on Sunday when we were out
walking and it’s gotten all infected so he’s in a bit of discomfort, the vet’s
sorted him out with some cream though so hopefully he’ll be ok soon. I thought it would mean a short walk yesterday
morning but no, as soon as we were out the door he transformed into robodog and
away we went.
Today’s
the last day of my Weight Watcher week and my running ProPoints total is minus
6, so I need to earn 6 activity ProPoints today which I should do as it’s a run
day, I hope/plan to do my first 25 minute none stop run today, I’ve even
prepared by eating plenty of filling and healthy foods, and I’ve not had my
usual glass of vino for a couple of days, I want to see if it makes a
difference.
Yesterday
was a fabulous day for me, two more members to goal and a 50lb certificate
awarded, Donna who joined in 13th April 2010 with her sister-in-law
continued coming to my meetings even though she lives in Birmingham and last
night after spending the last 6 weeks or more struggling with that last 2 or 3
pounds she achieved her goal, a staggering 83lb (that’s 1lb shy of 6 stone),
what an inspiration, she’s happy for you to know when she stood on those scales
she weighed 10st 4lb, which made both of us smiles because when she joined 17
months ago, she weighed 16st 3lb, truly sensational, I think you’ll agree.
Yes
yesterday was a very good day, I’d also had a really good belly laugh with my
mom and lots of giggles with the girls via facebook and I think you’ll all
agree, laughing makes you feel good, it certainly makes you feel better than
over eating and getting heartburn or indigestion. I’m going to treat myself to some more comedy
dvd’s as I haven’t watched one for a while and I do like a good giggle.
I’ve
got some eggs that need using up, so I’m thinking a huge omelette or frittata
for lunch or maybe hard boiled eggs smashed in light mayo with bacon mmm, yeah
liking that last one I think the most.
Although I’ve just had a quick look in the Weight Watchers recipe bank
on esource and there are lots of ideas so I’ll have a look later.
I’ve
just eaten a fruit & nut style bar for my breakfast, it has cashews &
dates and nothing else in it, cost me 4pp and although it was easy and quick to
eat I wasn’t struck so don’t think I’ll be eating it again, not unless I run
better and easier than I’ve ever done before, then it would be a worthwhile
sacrifice ;D
Hope
your day was as good as mine yesterday, if it wasn’t ask yourself what needs to
happen to improve today, don’t get me wrong not everything was wonderful
yesterday, but I prefer to put the yucky stuff out of my mind, it’s not worth
my head space, and the bad stuff ain’t worth your head space either. Xx
Have
a wickedly wonderful Wednesday. xx
