Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by
change!
Weigh day yesterday and I gained a pound, ending my run of
1/2lb losses, so what happened, well if I’m honest I’ve probably been a little
bit more happy and a little less healthy this last week or two ;-) so today I’m
getting my tracker out and I’m going to get back to sticking to the plan 100%
because I have a happy weight too and I’m above it at the moment, therefore a
little more thought is required.
I got a little lapse after I visited the doctor and he sent
me for that emergency appointment, as soon as he said worse case scenario
cancer, then I’d got an appointment in under an hour, I thought to myself “well
if I’m dying – I’m eating and drinking and enjoying it!” Any excuse me! Thankfully I don’t have anything terminal so
I can just get a grip now and stop using it as an excuse to eat, drink and be
merry.
Well yesterday we had quite the storm, thunder so loud it
shook the houses locally, and sadly the lightning actually hit one house not
far from where I was running my meeting, what a nightmare for them, but no one
was hurt and that’s the main thing.
I posted this photo on my Facebook to five folk a smile;
Now I talk a lot about being at your ‘happy weight’ and ‘loving
the skin your in’ and posting that photo yesterday for me made me realise I’m
there, I really have come an awfully
long way. There was a time I wouldn’t
have even showed my legs, let alone post a photo of them on Facebook for all to
see! I used to be really self conscious
of my legs and other parts of my body – actually all of my body but
particularly my legs thanks to a lad I went to school with who used to call me “Banana
legs”, bless his heart – he thought he was witty, I was devastated! But yesterday I had no qualms of sharing the
photo, it’s amazing what self-love, self-acceptable, age and confidence can do
for a woman, I’m there, I really do embrace every ounce of my “Me-ness” and if
anyone has a problem with how I look, they’re more than welcome to look in a
different direction!
Yep that feels good, it feels good also that my tracker has
come out today because I want to eat healthier, not because I suddenly feel fat
and yak, no I still feel fantastic, I’m just aware that if I play the ‘happy’
card for too long I won’t feel so fantastic, I’ll feel sluggish. And yes the scales told me I’d gained a point
but the bigger hint that I need to cut back is the heartburn I’ve had the last
day or so, that’s always a sign that I’m overdoing the richness in my food.
So I’m thinking Salmon and rice for lunch, I may do a
filling & healthy day, I might not, I’m undecided, although it would be
easy because I have crumpets and baked beans which could be breakfast, we’ll
see when I look in the cupboards, what I do know is whatever I have it’ll be
good for me.
To say I’m impressed with my members right now is an
understatement, the total weight loss for 2013 to date is 1,000 STONE, or 6.25
tonne, wowsers, if you needed any more proof that Weight Watchers works, there
it is!
Have a healthy and happy day (make it a balanced on ;-) )
and Eat Gorgeous. xx
