Good instincts usually tell you what to do before your head has figured it out. Michael Burke
It was great to see Debbie in the Express and Star yesterday, I’m
so proud of her, she’s done so well and looks amazing, I’m sure you’d all agree. If you missed it, here’s the article online http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2012/02/16/nursery-nurse-slimmed-from-21-stone-to-just-12/
I’m proud of all my members though, they don’t have to be in the newspaper to
be amazing, I was thinking yesterday after reading the article, how many of my
members have come so far and done so well, some still have a way to go. For example on a Thursday morning Katie has
lost over 60lb, she always manages to smile even when she hasn’t had the best
week, oh yes plus she’s the only member to have ever turned up to my meeting in
her PJ’s because she didn’t want to miss the meeting after she’s had her gall
stones removed ;-). Then there’s Rachel who’s
has lost over three stone and I remember her getting to goal, then getting
pregnant and having to start all over again!
Amanda who ran the Great North Run and is now only 12lb from her goal, Jane
who comes first thing in the morning on her way to work who’s lost well over
50lb now and text me to tell me she doesn’t shop at Evans anymore, and lovely Fay
who’s lost 2½ stone and now helps me at the scales when she can, the list goes
on, these are just a few members from one of my 13 meetings, every member who
gets weighed in my meeting has their own success story, some are nearer to
their goals than others but they are all amazing. And not forgetting, my golden oldies that
come every week to enjoy the meeting and to meet up with each other, two of them
got their gold star yesterday for being at goal for 8 years each, how amazing
is that! They’ve been at goal longer
than I’ve been a leader!
Yep everyday I meet amazing people, everyday I get to do a job I
love and I feel very fortunate for it.
My members inspire me and motivate me to stay in control of my weight,
so it’s true Weight Watchers does work because of the support.
So I’ve eaten some delicious meals this week, yesterday I made a
Chicken and Chorizo Jambalaya which was so tasty I ate it twice, it has to be
good for me to eat the same thing for lunch and dinner! For 11pp it was also large, I had the recipe
out of a good food magazine and it will most definitely make it into the next
Bev’s Bite, which I think needs putting together as we have some money to raise
for our Race for Life event (don’t forget to sign up and join us if you haven’t
already) https://raceforlife.cancerresearchuk.org/rfl/confirm_join_group.jsf?group_join=yes&groupNumber=BL3202
I’ve managed to stop and cook lunch everyday this week, it doesn’t
take as long as I think it will, my lunch is my mail meal as I work in the evening. Now to make it through my weekend and keep
the success going, I haven’t stayed on track at the weekend this year if I’m
honest! So this weekend I will, my plan
is cinema and Cosmo today, yep I’m going to do a buffet lunch and still stay on
track, I might even take photos of the food I eat there so I can share with ya
;) Then Saturday and Sunday I will cook
again, maybe “Ham hock & cabbage mash” and “frazzled chorizo linguine” we
shall see what I have left on my to cook list and what’s in the fridge. I have to say it’s definitely worth the
effort because sitting down to eat something that looks scrumptious is keeping
me on track as sitting down to eat a ready meal doesn’t!
The only snack I’ve had this week other than a banana was a Weight
Watcher Very Berry Bars, I chose them because they are full of dried fruit,
more flapjack like than bar and the ingredients all look natural.
Anyway I’ve got an appointment with the bank people so I better
get a wriggle on!
Have a fabulous day – yay it’s Friday ;-)
