When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to
resemble a nail. Abraham

Think I overdid the
running yesterday, I managed an hour over Cannock Chase but once I’d got home by
4pm I was absolutely shattered and good for nothing. So the advice I’d been given the week before
saying “make time” is fabulous but sometimes you can’t make energy! I think sometimes you have to stop, you can’t
keep going and going and going, I don’t run on batteries and as much as I’d
like to be able to carry on, my body didn’t want to. So I did as much as I could then I had a bath
and flaked out, I was in bed for 8pm.
I had bought the
ingredients to make a delicious meal too and never quite got to it, I WILL make
that today. On a positive I did get all
my paperwork do, I’ve got me a new system that appears to be working! I also did an hour of housework, again this is
part of my new organised plan. I haven’t
made New Years resolutions, I’ve made New Year Wishes! Yep, I’ve made a few wishes that I would like
to be able to accomplish this year, including having a semi-tidy house so I’m
not screaming every morning when I’m looking for something which goes onto the
wish to be more organised, I realise I can’t change instantly so I’m going to
do an hour every Monday and a bit at weekends if I’m around.
My Weight Watcher
Wish is to lose some weight and get back to goal, and if you’ve got the same
wish as me, some days that wish seems more achievable than others. I’m taking the advise of a friend and where
weight loss/management is concerned – “I’m doing my best”, you’re best is as
good as you’re capable of, some weeks you’re best will be good enough for a
weight loss, others not but as long as I’m doing the best I can at any given
time, then I’m going to be gentle on myself because otherwise I’ll get all worked
up over it and end up failing. Can you
relate to this?
I have so many
members join or rejoin and when they can’t get their heads round it immediately
they stop coming and it’s such a shame because they obviously want to change
their habits and lose weight, but for some that’s not going to happen
overnight. For others it happens instantly,
everything clicks into place and they start losing weight week after week which
is fantastic. Occasionally even those
that are doing fabulously have the odd slip up, it’s usually triggered by a
life event that takes them away from their normal day to day routine. All of these behaviours are perfectly normal,
which is why its so important to continue to play the game because nothing
worth winning is easy.
In this weeks, Your
Week there’s a speedy 5min recipe for Hoi Sin Ham Wraps that look scrumptious. And
there’s an section of this months Weight Watcher magazine that has ‘make it
easy – 30m meals’ to help with our busy lives, I’m going to try the steak and
roast butternut salad first I think. Yep
I need speedier meals in my life J OMG there’s a recipe for Persian Lamb Pilaf that
looks amazing, quick and cheap to make, nom nom nom. I need to stop flicking through my mag now,
got lots to do but that’s tonight’s reading for sure, mmm Cullen skink! I don’t know what it is but will look later!
Anyway whether you’re flying through your week
or have gone a little off course, just keep doing your best – I WILL!
