It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people; to
focus your energies on answers -- not excuses. William Arthur Ward
Still playing in the park though ;)
What’s 12in x 12in and has the ability to
change your mood in an instant?
Yep a set of weighing scales! I’ve been as good as gold since last Friday,
done the veggie thing from Monday and got on the scales yesterday and gained
half pound – go figure, bless my guest blogger yesterday after all her efforts
she too gained Wednesday night which just goes to show the body doesn’t react
immediately to any changes you make!
Frustrating but true….
So all I can say is it’s a good job I was
weighing myself yesterday morning or my leader would have been getting a load
of earache, it didn’t help that all my darling helpers and the members standing
in the vicinity started laughing when I told them ;-/ nor did it help that I’ve
been a hormonal, emotional wreck this week for god knows what reason – one minute
I’m absolutely 100% fine, the next I’m sat crying (as my poor brothers
witnessed when they decided to facetime me from Corfu Wednesday morning – poor boys!)
So once I got over the fact I hadn’t lost, I’d
actually gained and gone through the “I hate scales and diets” argument in my
head, I calmed down, realised I was wearing totally different clothes to the
week before which weighed heavier (I had only gained 1/2lb after all) and
without going into details my toilet habits had been different this week possibly
due to the veggie thing but not in the way you’d expect!
I’m over my drama now and my hormones seem to
finally have settled down, can I just had they suck, they really do but I’ve
decided it happens for a reason so I’m embracing it, when I get the urge to cry
– I cry, because underneath it all I know I’m not depressed as ten minutes
later I’m absolutely okay again, its just my hormones taking me towards the
menopause and out the other side, sooner rather than later I hope.
The brain works in funny old ways, because I
failed to get a weight loss by lunchtime I was craving meat, my mind was
convincing me that was why I hadn’t had a weight loss because I’d had more
carbs than protein than I usually do - who knows it may have been true, I hadn’t
eaten brilliantly Tuesday because of being in a rush so it had been a day of
carbs, breakfast had been egg, mushrooms, tomatoes on a warburton thin, lunch
was a cheese and beetroot sandwich and tea was crumpets with goats cheese so
yeah might explain the bathroom issue too (too much info I know but it’s my
blog and my memories for when I’m old with dementia to reminisce ;) so sorry,
what am I talking about when I’m old – my memory has been shot to pieces for
years already, so my blog is my memory NOW!)
Anyway, I folded, last night for tea I had chicken with my salad pittas,
and it was amazing, I’ve loved the veggie meals I’ve made the effort to cook
this week but I do like my meat and how I managed 8 years as a vegan I will
never know because you can not beat a bit of chicken skin or a nice steak,
mmm. I shall still make my tandoori
paneer biryani today, as I said the veggie stuff is lush, but I will also be
indulging in a steak today or tomorrow with Actifry chips, fried onions and
mushrooms. Oh my mouths drooling – I could
never be a skinny mini could I, food is just too delicious to go without just
to be a size 8 – nah, size 12 and scrumptiously full is my nirvana ;)
On that note, have a fabulous Friday – the weekend
is upon us, a bank holiday one too. I
intend to have a good sort out in my house, I’ve already started, filled 6
charity bags yesterday full of clothes.
I’m thinking if there’s less stuff in the house, it’ll be easier to stay
on top of all the chaos – I’ll let you know how long that lasts ;)
EatGorgeous, be BeYouTiful and embrace your
foodie cos she’s scrumptious and curvy xx
