Being successful
doesn’t necessarily make you great. What makes you great is when you reach back
and help somebody else become great. — Joel Osteen
You know the Filling & Healthy plan isn’t for you if you
wake up thinking, “If I do F&H today I can eat LOADS!”
Yesterday was such fun and also very enlightening where food/dieting
is concerned for me and my bestie, we met for lunch, we were early and sat on
the car park waiting for the pub to open, apparently they don’t open till noon,
we had chatter to catch up on didn’t they realise. We were glad we didn’t go straight in though because
we sat in the car watching the world go by and even though it’s naughty a lot
of giggling was done as a school of girls run by doing their ‘cross country’,
memories were remembered of the times we did similar runs, but also watching
the different running styles – oh my days!
My running style was always something I was conscious of because there’s
nothing funnier than someone who runs like a special person! Watching these young girls on the verge of
being women trying to run like kids but some having to hold their boobs because
they hadn’t got decent sports bra’s and frankly they had larger breasts than I’ve
ever hand was entertaining for all the wrong reasons when you’re sat in your
car with your mate and being silly!
What wasn’t so funny was how unhealthy some of them appeared
to be! And also we were thinking how we
were surprised they were allowed to all run alone these days ‘safety’ and all
that, but guess where the teacher was!
In a car two down from us, apparently the get followed in a car, I remember
my gym teacher she ran with us! What’s
the world coming too ;)
So anyway back to the lunch, we sat down and if you recall I
had intended to do F&H yesterday so I wouldn’t have to worry about PPing, I
ordered gammon, chicken and the trimmings, knowing I’d be able to resist the
chips because they’re never any good and if I had a jacket I’d want butter on
it. I ordered a side of ‘seasonal veg’
which frankly was a joke! But this was
the meal;
So using my ‘dieter’ head, I was thinking, gammon = F&H,
chicken leg without skin = F&H, chicken breast without skin = F&H,
peas, onions, mushrooms = F&H!
The reality, however you try to work it, or play the system,
there’s 50pp of food on that plate! So
even if you’re going to ‘cheat’ the system and say try to work out the PP for
the skin, or take the skin off, there’s still any oil that was used in the
cooking of it and the tartare sauce I added!
I didn’t eat it all, I did leave the chips, an onion ring (I
only ate the other 2 because they were their – not that nice), a bit of chicken
and gammon, but I still ate about 35pp worth easily!
So I won’t be recording yesterday as a F&H day, I’ll be
teaching myself a valuable lesson and that is as I told all my members in the meeting
this week. Make the plan work for you,
make weight loss as easy as possible – don’t even try to test your willpower because
chances are, you haven’t got much if any around foods you adore and you’re
likely to fail! I knew when I ordered
that meal yesterday it wasn’t the wisest choice, I just got seduced by the
photo on the front of the menu, the fact it was part of the meal deal and the
25% discount text I’d been sent the night before! What I should’ve done which was what I’d
decided before getting there was had just gammon and chips, because I would’ve
only eaten the gammon and the veggies, I could’ve asked them not to serve it
with the onion rings then I wouldn’t have been tempted to eat them. Yes I need to not test my eating out
willpower – I have none!
Lesson learnt but lunch enjoyed, a fab giggle had, and worth
using all my weeklies for ;) I’ll just have to be sensible from now till weigh
day, haven’t totted up my day yet, but it won’t be too good, I had two mini
bounty bars from a tub of celebrations at the Chi Rooms after my massage, I
also had a chocolate snowball because mom left the open packet on the side in
the kitchen – that’ll be the diet devil testing me again! Tea was a ham sandwich so not the end of the world!
Good job I’m doing a 15 mile sponsored walk today isn’t
it! Shame I’ve woken up with a bad
throat but never mind, I’ll just take some painkillers and I’ll be ready to do
battle with my boots J
Have a Sensational Saturday, the forecast is quite
good.
Eat Gorgeous, BeYOUtiful & love yourself no matter what because
you are amazing. xx
