Well I’m back in the zone after my wonderful birthday
weekend. Went shopping for fruit and
veggies, and I bought a chicken whilst in Morrisons, they’re reduced, my 1.4kg was
£2.79 and once I’d skinned it and portioned it into four, (I removed the wings
too) I worked out the four portions that were left totalled 26pp, so I added
carrots and onions and oxo cubes and made a delicious casserole in a roasting
tin covered with foil, left it in the oven for a good few hours on low until it
was cooked. Unfortunately as I was
testing the meat to see if it was cooked the tin decided to slide towards me
and tip so all the juices ran over the floor ;( the remaining chicken and
vegetables were still delicious, I served them with mashed potato and carrot
and have to say it was the nicest thing I’ve eaten since that chicken and bacon
casserole I made which I think I’ll make again this week because it was lush. So this was how my tracker looked yesterday,
I felt totally in control wasn’t tempted once which shows when I’m busy it
helps, also I went to bed at 8pm, I was tired though because I went straight to
sleep, getting up at 5am means it’s okay to go to bed early.

I also did a 30 minute run (earning me 6pp with the walking
before and after) which I really didn’t want to do after my meeting on the
morning but felt better later on so went out then and even though it wasn’t
easy, I’m so glad I did it. Running for
me reminds me that I can do more than I think I’m capable of, it makes me
realise that when I think I’ve gone as far as I can go, I’ve always got another
mile in me, that I believe goes for any part of my life. I won’t be using those activity PP as I’m extremely
overdrawn from the weekend, I’m just hoping for damage limitation between now
and weigh day on Thursday!
I went back to drinking hot water too yesterday, I used to
drink it all the time instead of tea, don’t know why I stopped really and the
last few days cups of tea haven’t tasted so great. I like it, I still have my cuppas but only
have to count maximum ½ pint of milk instead of a pint as 5pp a day is a lot
when you’re on 26-29pp!
Fruit was the other difference yesterday, I added a few
pieces which I don’t usually bother with and have to say I’m impressed with
Morrison’s selection of £1 fruits (strawberries, apples, pears, clementines)
the clementines are so sweet, and this morning I’ve made up two dishes of fruit
salad to satisfy me throughout the day.
Busy as I am, if I can’t find ten minutes to make a fruit
bowl or 20 minutes to pop a casserole in the oven, I’ve realised I need to
rethink my life and my priorities! It’s
no use me encouraging everyone else to get in the zone if I’m playing at it.
Thank you to everyone who helped motivate me yesterday
morning to get on it, Facebook is a wonderful tool if you are stuck in an
office on your own doing paperwork. It’s
33 days before my next weekend of fun, so I would like to lose at least 5lb, I’d
be thrilled with half a stone but happy to lose anything as long as I know I’ve
stayed on track.
You tracking today – I AM!
