Good habits are worth being fanatical about. John Irving
Well
I survived ‘-), it’s weigh day, I’m singing Gloria Gaynor and I feel a weight
loss coming on, I have been in the zone, yesterday I was so engrossed in my
garden that I didn’t even think about food after I had my very scrumptious
filling breakfast, so I only had two meals yesterday (probably not perfect) but
I made my second one a good one too. The
day just flew by, I’ve moved round the front garden now and my lovely neighbour
to my right chose blue as the colour of our joining fence, so I’m halfway
through painting that, my side and hers, my pedometer had 16pp on it by the
time I finally sat down.

Breakfast
Scrambled
egg on toast - 10pp
Dinner
Ham,
Heinz cheesy beans, mashed potato with grilled cheese topping - 15pp
Bites
and bits I nibbled on whilst cooking my tea – 3pp
Milk
in drinks – 5pp
Pedometer
ProPoints earned 16pp
Total
Pedometer ProPoints earned this week = 64pp not a gym or exercise class in sight, just everyday activity and moving more (all unused!)
Weekly
Used – 33pp (I’m thinking if I had a nibble on anything in the kitchen when I was
cooking and not really paying attention, the other 16 weeklies would cover
that)
I
haven’t had an alcoholic drink all week and I haven’t been fussed about having
one either, which shows it’s just a habit and like any habit one that can be
broken with time and persistence.
I’m
well aware I’m in the honeymoon stage of my 2013 weight loss journey, this isn’t
the first time I’ve decided to shift a few pounds, I’m proud to be a Weight
Watcher who struggles with her weight.
Through being one I’ve learned so much about eating and I’ve also lost
2.5 stone that I’ve never put back on in the 9 years since I achieved my goal,
yes I’ve gained a stone but not through any fault of the plan, I’ve gained it because
I started to drink a little bit more, which in turn led to eating a bit more
and its crept on, I know when I follow the plan or the maintenance plan it
works, so that’s what I’m doing.
There
are no quick fixes, no magic pills or treatments, it’s about education, and I
heard on the radio yesterday that 1 in 3 children are overweight or obese, this
saddens me. There needs to be more food
education in schools, I have lots of members join who don’t really understand
nutrition, add that to the fact that you can get cheap junk food in
supermarkets and well….
Even
me who knows so much about food and what’s good for you and not so good for
you, I gain weight so what chance does someone without any knowledge at all,
who’s earning next to nothing and see pizza for £2 have!
Yes
you can eat ‘cheap’ and nutritionally but it does take more thought that’s for
sure, if you start to eat the correct portion sizes, that immediately brings
down your calorie intake! Also if you decided
to make treats exactly that, something you have occasionally as a treat not
something you have everyday as a meal then again you will bring your calorie
intake down.
As
I said there are no quick fixes, they will continue to bring them out, all this
made crazy diets and different ways to suck your fat out, but unless you stop
putting it in the hole in your face, then sucking it out however and wherever
won’t make one iota of difference long term.
So
I will continue to Eat Gorgeous and love myself enough to lose weight the
healthy way, I’ll continue to move in ways I enjoy such as walking the dog and
digging the garden or painting fences. I
will continue to get support from my fellow Weight Watchers and obtain
knowledge from them in my meetings.
I’ll
never again fall for the latest fad whether it be a tablet or a treatment or a
food, nope I’m in this for the long haul, one day at a time, one delicious meal
at a time, mmm what shall I have for breakfast.
See
you tomorrow to share my weight loss ;0) Have a great day. xx
