The
time to relax is when you don't have time for it.
I’ve got out of bed this morning at 5.55am feeling on top of
the word and raring to put my house in order, spring cleaning on the agenda
today. I’d put the clocks forward before
going to bed so I’ve had a decent sleep even though it is so early.
Didn’t blog yesterday because once every month or two me and
my bestie Lynne who’s also a Weight Watcher leader go away for a night to
escape reality and that includes everything that is Weight Watchers. I love my life it’s fabulous and I love my
job, however it’s great to get away, forget ProPoints, real life and just
behave like giggly school kids and talk utter rubbish, have a few drinks, laugh
a lot, eat out, laugh more and fall asleep – usually about 9pm because we’re
such lightweights!
This month our destination was Melton Mowbray, why? Did we go because it has a heritage trail or
because it is the home of the famous pork pie.
No did we hell, we went there because we got a groupon hotel deal that
included room, dinner and breakfast – we’re cheap! It doesn’t matter where we go because we’re
not going for the scenery, we’re going to sit and chill and chatter and giggle
and let’s be honest you can do that absolutely anywhere if you’re in the
company of the right person. Yeah those
24 hours do me the world of good, there’s no planning or packing, we just throw
our PJs and toothbrush in a bag and we’re off – bliss.
I’d bought us both a copy of the question book (what makes
you tick) to take with us. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Question-Book-Mikael-Krogerus/dp/1846685389/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332653452&sr=8-1
We had such a laugh filling them in, we got bored when the
questions got serious, then went back to it when we were drunk, really good way
to get to know someone though, definitely worth buying to keep a copy lying
about for nights when there’s nothing on the tv, it might even stop you eating.
We got back at lunchtime yesterday, met Lynnes husband and
took their kids to the cinema, we watched, “We bought a zoo”, fabulous film,
proper feel good stuff.
It probably means all the good work I did in the week
dietwise was undone, but my sanity is restored and that’s worth way more than a
weight loss ;-)
I’ve just done the maths out of curiousity, now bearing in
mind I picked Lynne up at 10am and the movie finished the next day at 3pm so
that’s just 29 hours, I consumed approximately 174pp! We didn’t drink loads (honestly, we get
giggly quickly) we had a pub lunch, dinner included at the hotel (I left most
of mine), full English next morning (1 sausage, 1 bacon, egg, beans, mushrooms,
tomato, toast), then café lunch of sausage, egg & chips (not large portion)
and a fresh cream scone. Lastly a
handful of popcorn at the cinema, but that just shows how much you can consume
without going crazy but just not worrying about your intake. So if my daily allowance is 26 x 2 = 52, plus
my weekies of 49, even if I add the 40pp of activity on, I still took it way
over! I’m still smiling though, cos we
had fun. (Lynne if you're reading this, see this is why I'm all for amnesia!!!)
On my way home from the cinema I stopped at the supermarket
to buy Easter Eggs so we can all play higher/lower in the meetings next week
and guess the propoints, this will give you some idea of the damage you can do,
if you choose the wrong egg.
So today is all about the tidy up, although I believe it’s
going to be a nice day so really should be enjoying the sunshine – maybe I’ll
clean my car later if I’ve still got the energy!
I’m now off to walk Alfie in an attempt to get some exercise
and earn a few more ProPoints. ;-)
Enjoy your sunshine Sunday.
