And in the end, it's not the
years in your life that count. It's the life in your years Abraham Lincoln
It’s weigh day today and I’m hoping I will lose, 1/2lb will do me, I’ll
be 100% happy with that, especially as I haven’t been 100% on it! So yesterday I realised I needed to stop
guessing the portion and turned the kitchen scales on, had mushroom and cheese
pitta for breakfast and weighed the cheese, reality check with how much I could
have for 30g. Lunchtime we had liver
and onions and again weighed everything.
Then the dieters nightmare situation happened on the night me and my
mate had to drive over Penn to my nephews and the best Tandoori in the world is
round the corner which we’ve both been craving since the last time we had it –
so we gave in! I thought it would
totally blow my budget, but when I’ve done the maths this morning, it wasn’t as
bad as I expected. We had takeaway so
that helped, the chicken cost me 15pp, ½ peshwari naan 9pp and poppadum 4pp so
my total intake for the day was 56pp! My
journal starts on a Monday so I’ve got 49pp weekly allowance thank goodness
which is why this plan works, I haven’t blown my week –
I can have an unexpected event
happen and it can be on a Monday and I can still survive the week!
Daily allowance = 26pp
Activity ProPoints Earned = 12pp (walking, running & pedometer)
Total Day = 56pp
Weeklies used 18pp
Weeklies left = 31pp & any more activity PP I can earn. This is why I run!
Yes this is why Weight Watchers Works, because there doesn’t have to be
the whole guilt trip thing or the I’ve blown it now I might as well start
afresh next week! And the next time you have
that thought, think if you accidentally drove through a red light, you wouldn’t
think sod it and drive through every other red light you saw that day! Or would you!? Let’s just say I hope not anyway!
Well if anyone had walked in my house last night, they would have
assumed we were all drunk, but we weren’t the strongest thing we’d had was tea,
however the conversation was random to say the least. Katie was talking about the end of the world
and mom was buying into it all, 12/12/12 that’s when it’s all gonna happen
according to the Mayans! Well to try and
put half of what was said into words wouldn’t make any sense at all so I won’t
even try but what was really spooky as Katie is saying we’re all gonna be
tagged etc was that my SKY+ box started recording a programme I hadn’t asked it
too. What was that programme you ask –
it was about ‘cracking Mayan codes’ – now that’s odd!
It freaked me a little anyway ;0)
So what I got from the conversation was a reminder, Katie was genuinely
concerned that the world might end or change beyond belief and she might not be
here to be a part of that change. I
asked her why she was so concerned, what was her biggest fear and her reply
was, “there’s so much I haven’t done yet”.
She had a good point, what haven’t you done yet that you want to, she
has an excuse she’s young, but if you’re older and you still have a very long ‘to
do’ list you need to be doing before it’s too late. What was the first thing that came to your
mind then when you read the above, did you instantly think about something you
need to do or want to do. I consider
myself very, very fortunate that I made a list when I was very young, when you
spend a lot of time in hospitals there’s not a lot else to keep your mind
occupied and I’m proud to say I’ve done almost everyone of them, there’s a
couple of things still to do and there’s things that pop up now and again to
add, that’s what keeps me interested in life but overall I’m happy to say “I’ve
Lived” and “I’ve Laughed” and that’ll do me.
Have you?
On that note I’m going to weigh and eat my breakfast ;) Branflakes
today I think.
