Mistakes are proof that you’re trying!
Not my
normal Saturday this week, I shall be working most of the morning catching up
with all the paperwork I didn’t do yesterday because I was at a training day,
hopefully I’ll get out in this sunshine at some point. We’ve got Race for Life tomorrow, that’ll be
fun and hopefully the weather will be wonderful and we’ll have a lovely day and
raise lots of money ;) we’re hoping to get a mention in today’s Express &
Star as we’re walking as a team, not sure if it’s too late to join us but you
could try, here’s

Yesterday was a test of strength eating wise,
I wanted to stick to F&H if it was possible because I want to save my
weeklies for the weekend, so we were able to order lunch from the hotel menu,
it was your typical fish and chips, steak and chips, burgers or baguette menu –
mmm not much use, I ordered steak and
asked if we could have a jacket instead of the chips, they said no so I
survived with steak and salad – the smallest salad in the world and the typical
cucumber / lettuce / tomato salad which is the world’s most boring, I survived
though, ate a banana and two satsumas on the drive home. I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad to see
leftovers in the fridge, I had beef casserole for tea, not what I’d have chosen
but there was no way I was preparing anything, I was shattered. Today I fancy a big chicken salad with lots
of nice salad to make it look delicious and hopefully being on track will give
me more than 1/2lb loss this week, I’m still happy with the fact I haven’t
gained at all the last 5 weigh-ins and I feel so much better than I have in a
long time. For a Friday I had more
energy than usual and I really enjoyed my training day.
Still no alcohol either, 8 weeks tomorrow
since the last drop touched my lips, I’m actually unsure I want to drink now because
I can visualise the hangover ;) good job I like water, I’ve also taken a liking
to the odd cup of coffee and occasional diet coke – I have to have some kind of
vice!
I’m feeling good and you can’t ask for much
more than that can you, I’m getting more done because I have more energy which
means more enthusiasm. Don’t get me
wrong I’m still relaxing and I’m not finding it difficult to wind down without
a drink at all like I’d convinced myself I would.
I think it’s made me realise we should
question our beliefs about ourselves rather than assuming!
On that note, I’m off – so much to do today
and I can’t wait to get started.
Have a fabulous day BeYOUtiful.
