They succeed, because they think they can. Virgil
YAY it’s Friday, although I have a full day’s work to do
in my office, it’s all good because if I want to I can stay in my PJ’s! I actually would have to get dressed to work
the dog though, but if I want to I can put the PJ’s back on when I get
back. Totally without car today, it’s going
to be mended – there’s a squeak, well more a whine so hopefully my amazing
mechanic Tif will make my it better without it breaking my bank account.
Yesterday morning was amazing in my meeting, two of my
golden girls Carol and Elsie celebrated 10 years at their gold weight, what an
incredible achievement and what a gorgeous pair of ladies. I got quite emotional before I started the
group meeting thinking about what a lucky lady I was to have such an enjoyable
job and how I’d know some of my members over 9 years and I’ve watched them all
change, I’ve watched babies grow up, which was proven when Karen dropped in to
get weighed and we realised she’d been at goal 9 years all except the year she
took off to have her son who’s now 7!
Then there’s the lovely Rachel (above)
looking stunning now having lost over 5 stone in total. She posted this photo on facebook last weekend and told us "I've
attended Weight Watchers for most of my adult life, I've lost stones & gained them back 3
time over thanks to being a mom to 3 beautiful girls but I'm still going,
still losing & feeling great this evening"
I really do have the most rewarding job in the world! And seeing all the success stories from all
the meetings in our area I’ve been sharing on https://www.facebook.com/area37
makes me realise even more so how much Weight Watchers Works!
Back to the reality of life, I nipped in the Asda on the
way back to my meetings on the night to pick up a few things and I found myself
in the ‘ready meal’ aisle looking at foods I would have once eaten, these days
I prefer to cook for myself because I get more food and that’s a priority for
me. An old favourite (which I haven’t
had for years) that I spotted was Heinz toast toppers, I worked them out at 3pp
a tin. Then I spotted these mug shot
things, I didn’t much like the look of those, even less so when I worked them
out at 6pp, there’s nothing to them! Ye
Olde Oak Meatballs in gravy 10pp for the can, I used to eat those all the time –
would maybe be tempted to have a tin still.
Pie’s in a tin, my dad used to eat those, they worked out at 17 and 18pp
each, from memory I remember most of it used to stick to the tin lid!
I did battle with myself in the crisp aisle though, mom
had asked me to get her a bag of cheese and onion crisps, I couldn’t see single
bags, so looked at the 6 packs, £1.68 for 6 or 3 packs of 6 for £4. My bargain brain was thinking oo it’s so much
cheaper to have 3 packs, my weight loss brain was thinking yeah but do you
really need 18 packs of 4PP crisps? I
managed to resist and only purchased the 6 pack because I know I’m better off
spending a bit more than eating all those crisps, I would’ve eaten them asap because
I can’t resist them – you can’t eat what isn’t there!
Today I’m thinking fish fingers on weight watcher Petit
Pains, mmm I may through a few chips on the plate too! Eggs for breakfast I think, then who knows
what else, I don’t want to spend too long in the kitchen as I have so much
paperwork to get through, I don’t want to break my stride.
Right I’m off, have a fabulous Friday, EatGorgeous and as
always BeYOUtiful. xx
