God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give
ourselves the gift of living well. Voltaire
It was my birthday yesterday and I
had a lovely day, I had planned a very quiet day of chilling, and that’s more
or less what I did, I’m too tired in January for partying, and I’m also 44 now,
so the partying has to be planned and worked up to ;)! We did have visitors though, my eldest brother
and my niece popped in, it was lovely to see them both, mom also enjoyed the company
and I cooked us all burger and chips.
They also came with gifts, he bought me a popcorn maker, and I’m now
going to be addicted to salty popcorn, there’s a recipe in the Simple Start
booklet page 36 to tell you how to make a simple start snack on the hob, with
the popcorn maker you don’t need to use the oil. Although I melted 10g of Weight Watcher
spread in the microwave and poured on the cooked corn then sprinkled salt on
them, so the salt stuck to the spread.
Obviously shouldn’t go overboard with eating it because we don’t need
excesses of salt in our diet, but it is going be a great snack for me though
when I just want something.
In amongst the visitors and cooking burger (recipe in new
F&H cookbook) and chips, I also managed to get a chicken and rice casserole
in the oven which I shall enjoy today, the recipe is on my website;
and is one of my favourite dishes, it never looks amazing
but always tastes divine, just the right combination of comfort foods.
I also had a great book for my birthday that I’m going to
enjoy reading ‘Him & Me’ by Jack & Michael Whitehall, love watching
them on tele, they’re relationship reminds me of mom and mine, full of love and
banter, I’ve read the first chapter and know I’m going to enjoy the rest.
Dietwise, I won’t be expecting a weight loss this week as I
did indulge in wine again yesterday, well it was my birthday is my excuse, I
won’t drink now till the weekend though and will stick with F&H and be
happy whatever the results, as long as I’m on track and feeling healthy that’s
all that matters, the weight will come off a little at a time and that’s okay
with me. Healthy & Happy all the
way.
When I was sitting on my own yesterday morning waiting for everyone
to wake up I made a little video of my BeYOUtiful Weight Watcher members using
the photos on my phone, I’m really pleased with it, to view click on this link,
or copy and paste it into the web address.
I used an app called
Splice, very clever and useful, will be using again in the future.
Right short one today, thinks to
do, breakfast to eat, second cup of tea needed, have a great day, remember to
Eat Gorgeous & BeYOUtiful, because you’re worth it.
