Power is
not about exerting our will over others, it is about being in complete truth
with yourself.
I’m so blessed, I really am, it’s been lovely to get cards through the
post instead of bills and yesterday my gorgeous helpers who are the best in the
world and I’m lucky to have them sent me a card with a voucher to my most favourite
place on earth – The Chi Rooms where I go to have my massage, I was overwhelmed
by their generosity and touched by how thoughtful the gift was, aren’t I
lucky. Who’d have thought they’d be
perks to being poorly, my house is full of cards and flowers and that makes me
smile.
You do a lot of thinking
when you’re sat around off work, so I've decided when I'm back to 100% I'm
going to stock my kitchen cupboards with filling and healthy foods, that way
I'll only have those foods for meal options.
As I've not been out and about, we've been living off what's in the
house so it'll be pretty empty by then.
My bestie sure can cook - haven't had a meal cooked for me since I don't know when, it was lovely.
I will own up to a none
F&H or ProPoint day yesterday though, my bestie turned up with meals on
wheels ;) she bought us a shepherds pie for lunch which we had will lots of
veggies, and also a vegetable pizza for tea which mom and I shared. I’d had branflakes, banana and yogurt for my
breakfast so in fairness it wasn’t too bad. I’ve just had cornflakes for my breakfast
because I was craving them when I was really poorly, don’t remember the last
time I had them and they’re a bit boring I have to say, the best bit of the
bowl was the milk and spoonful of sugar I added, would rather have yesterdays breakfast
any day.
Some beautiful magician
needs to invent something that looks and tastes like that pizza I had yesterday
with half the calories in though, it was amazing! Mom and I had half each of a 14in pizza and
it was to die for, no idea of the ProPoints but half was probably my entire
daily allowance!
So back to this Filling
& Healthy business, one question keeps springing to mind with me and that’s
“When did we stop trusting ourselves?”
I hear so many people
say, “I wouldn’t know when to stop!” when they’re told to eat until they’re
satisfied.
Give yourself a little
credit here, maybe you’ve just spent too many years on diets being told exactly
what to eat and how much and have lost faith in yourself and your ability to
know what’s right for your body. Well it’s
time to get that faith back and realise eating gorgeous works, being both
healthy and happy will get you where you want to be. By focusing on Filling and Healthy foods it provides
a quick and easy way to pick the foods that are not only the most nutritious but
also the most satisfying and you’re body will learn to self regulate you with
portion sizes, if you’re still not sure and don’t trust your body to say stop,
weigh some portions, or look at your plate and ask “Is this too much?” Both ProPoints and F&H work when followed
correctly, if you want all the science behind it, this is a great article to
read;
So I’m off
to write me a shopping list ready for me to get losing a few pounds before my
Christmas hols, oh my word I’m not going to tell you how near that is, but
trust me – it’s near!
Have a truly
delicious day J
