Do not wait until the conditions are perfect
to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect. Alan Cohen
Back to reality today and actually looking forward
to seeing all my lovely members, I do enjoy my job, I really do and I was just
about to type, “I just wished I had more energy to do all the things that I
want to be doing and the time to fit them all in”, and I was about to type that
thought I realised that I could get more energy from eating better foods so
that’s definitely the plan. Of course I will
forget that plan possibly when confronted with something scrumptious but I have
started to ensure the house only has good foods in and maybe consider only
having a few days or a week worth of food at a time so that I have my meals
planned out. I go wrong when I have too
much choice sometimes I think.
I made a mistake yesterday by forgetting to
have breakfast so when I went to Argos at 10ish to pick up my Kindle (my
Christmas pressie to myself) I suddenly realised and thought to myself mmm one
more Big Mac before I go back to work and reality of ProPoints, But common
sense prevailed on this occasion and I realised that I could wait till I got
home and also that a trip to MacDonald’s was likely to set me back almost
40pp! So instead I went home and had egg
and chips, the duck egg fried was 5pp and the chips well they were more like
crispy chunks made in my actifry but only 7pp, 300g potatoes cut into small
chunks of potato, really nice will definitely do again and a lot less ProPoints
than a MacDonald’s even with the two slices of bread (5pp) and Weight Watcher
spread I ended up enjoying with them!
See I should’ve had breakfast. My
tea was lush too, I had prawns (so glad my allergy seems to have disappeared now),
stilton, chorizo, cucumber and salad leaves for 10pp which was delicious.
Now this is the type of food that will start
to help me get my energy levels back up, lots of vegetables, I will eat some
fruit (not a huge fan but I will make the effort) and lean protein, (i.e. turkey,
chicken and fish) and whole grain pasta and rice. Mmm I’m actually looking forward to it now I’ve
seen it written down.
Today I shall be eating trout, wholemeal
spaghetti and briam (which my lovely sister-in-law cooked a batch of before
Christmas). I’m gonna have oats for my
breakfast I think with a banana on and a couple of satsumas, then I’ll think
about supper later, maybe the rest of the prawns with salad or a sandwich.
Yep back to reality, it’s all about the food
in my world ‘-) Oh and of course my
books too now I have the kindle to read on, was great falling to sleep with it
last night, not that it takes me very long to fall asleep!
Did you make any New Years Resolutions? I personally just want to continue to be the
best version of me that I can be, and that is a daily thing not a first few
weeks of the year thing. I’ve accepted
me and my personality and I quite like the way I am, I’m never going to care
enough about my image to get up an hour earlier to do make up and mess about
with my hair, that’s why it’s long enough to tie back. It’s just not who I am, even though every now
and again I do attempt to change that aspect of me, it never lasts very
long! We’re more than our external
appearance, as long as I’m clean and tidy that’ll do me, if you enjoy spending
that time getting ready than good on ya, I sometimes envy you but then other
times I’m happier to be walking my dog for that hour.
Anyway I need to get a wriggle on, I have
members to weigh and re-motivate for their hopes and dreams.
Take care and have a fantabulous day ;-)
