10th
February 2013
I sat in
MacDonalds yesterday drinking zero sprite and watching my mom eat a
cheeseburger, did I want a cheeseburger – yes, why didn’t I have one even
though I had the spare ProPoints, because I knew it wouldn’t fill me up and I’d
want something else when I got home!
Yes my mind is back on being healthy and eating gorgeous, I’d also just
come out of my Weight Watcher meeting so was all motivated by everyone else’s
success, it’s great to see them all so pleased with their weight loss.
I ended up
having roast lamb, mash, peas and Yorkshire pudding with gravy, 20 ProPoints
well spent and still less than a big mac and fries would have cost me. I
also went shopping in the Co-op because mom wanted some stuff and they have a
meal deal in there for £10, main, side, dessert & wine, I did buy it the
Spanish meatballs with paprika potatoes is 13pp for half, I had a salad bowl as
the side and mom will eat the desserts so it works out well.
Today I’m
going to have a half and half day, I’m dug out my yoga dvd so I’m going to do that,
Alfie and I will go for a really long walk, housework is moms room today,
change the bedding etc, I will do the kitchen and living room too I think as I’m
feeling quite full of life this morning (I have to take advantage of feeling
this way when it happens!) then this afternoon I’m going to snuggle down with
my kindle and read.
Foodwise, mmm
I have lamb so maybe another cooked dinner although it won’t be a 20pp one, I’m
thinking lots of roast vegetables, I won’t have the giant Yorkshire that I had
yesterday so that will save 7pp.
Yep I’m
feeling pretty damn good today, I’m sat at my desk and the house is in silence
because everyone else is still asleep. I’m
feeling very balanced, as though I can cope with everything that needs to be
done, I also feel like I’m able to get my weight off because I’m actually at
peace with my body if that makes sense, I already feel a success because I’m
not unhappy with the way I look, and any weight loss with be a side effect of
taking care of me. I take every day as
it comes, I’m just focussing on eating better at the moment, I’m not aiming for
unrealistic targets or setting myself deadlines because then I feel pressured,
I’m just improving my diet. I see so
many people set crazy goals and even when they’ve achieved them they’re still
not happy, it’s still not enough but the question then is what is enough? And by whose standards are they measuring
their success? What’s that saying
success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get! I know
from past experience being a certain weight does not bring you lasting happiness;
it doesn’t fix things or solve all your problems. I also know from past experience though that
focusing 100% on weight loss can be a distraction from other things in your
life, if all you ever think about is your diet then you don’t have to think
about the other aspects of your life that could maybe do with being looked
at. Oh yes I’ve done that in the past, I’m
glad to say I stopped long enough to look at the other aspects and get them
sorted and that is why I’m feeling pretty damn good today.
I’m waffling
again, so before I go, I just wanted to tell you I treated myself to a very
relaxing massage at the Chi Rooms yesterday www.chi-rooms.com and we
were chatting about Valentines and how men always buy chocolate! So Karen is offering 10% off in February for
my members so either treat yourself or tell your other half you want to go
there instead of chocolate. They also do
nails and tanning etc, give them a ring 01922 404300 and spoil yourself.
Eat Gorgeous, Be
Gorgeous because you are Gorgeous
