4th July 2014
Do not get upset with people or situations, both are powerless
without your reaction.
I love to wake up and see sunshine out my window and hear
Alfie snoring at the bottom of my bed, it starts my day with a smile, it’s even
better when I haven’t got to rush out of bed so can just lie there and enjoy it
all for a few minutes. That was how I
started my day this morning; it’s the little things that make life great. I’ve just watered my garden whilst waiting
for my kettle to boil and now I’m sat with a cracking cup of tea, have you
noticed they all involve and tea bag and milk but sometimes some just taste
better, this is one of those cups – can my day get any better! Easily pleased
me ;)
I’m looking forward to my weekend, it’s my mom’s birthday on
Sunday and my bestie is coming to stay Saturday with her daughter so we’ll have
a lovely weekend centred round my awesome mom!
She has requested pizza and scones with clotted cream, my mom not my
bestie that is! My bestie only ever
requests lager! As you can imagine there
won’t be weight loss this weekend, however I have decided from Monday morning I’m
going to do the first week of Simple Start again, fancy giving my body a week
of nothing but healthy. I intend to do
me a meal plan over the weekend so that I have it all sorted ready and I will
make a few things ready on Monday so that I don’t get caught out on my busy
work days which are going to be super busy because my helper is off to enjoy
her well earned holiday, she’s my right hand woman so to speak, I’m also
missing other helpers so I’ll be proper shattered by Friday carrying all that
stuff in and out of my car and setting up.
Then I have a training day on the Friday, hence I need plenty of good
healthy food to keep me feeling my best and give me lots of energy to survive!
Yes I’m looking forward to it to be honest, healthy good
recipes are what I shall be looking for this weekend, I know it’s warm weather
but I really fancy doing a pan of beef stew so I can go and pick from it as and
when. I also fancy trying the sweet potato and spinach curry one of my members
has posted in our group, the recipe for that’s in the F&H book I believe.
But first before I get all excited about food, I need to
work, a morning of paperwork, followed by a lovely massage at my favourite Chi
Rooms, didn’t have one last week she was on holiday and not sure I’ll be able
to fit on in next week either. Then an evening of relaxation, will get an hour
in the garden if it isn’t raining by then, but if it is I’ll sit in the kitchen
looking at it. oh that cuppa was lovely,
wonder if I can make another one exactly the same, will try in a minute.
Yeah this week has been a good week, we celebrated plenty of
weight loss, 5%, 10%’s and also Karen received her gold award yesterday which
is always a good thing, we talked about eating out and I managed to resist
doing that by ensuring I had a fridge full of food that I knew I had to eat
because of sell by dates and not room in the freezer, this was so I wouldn’t be
tempted by the takeaways and it worked.
I have been tempted by bread this week though and that has to stop!
I’m looking forward to refocusing on me from Monday and
making me and my weight loss a priority, I’ve even got the info online to give
me a refresher, if you’re a monthly pass holder, everything you need to know
about Simple Start is here http://www.weightwatchers.co.uk/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=98952
But before I start that I’m looking forward to my weekend,
looking forward to spending time with my bestie and celebrating my mom’s
birthday, 76 years young and still has mad as a bag of frogs! She’s the most BeYOUtiful lady I know, she has
never lost her ability to see the wonder in everything, I just adore her. The things that come out of that woman’s
mouth just make me laugh so much, and they always have, she has changed a bit,
she’s just aged! Last night she came
into the kitchen and said "smell my neck?” so I
did and replied “mmm it's nice!” to which she told me "the air freshener
squirted me as I came down the stairs!" Priceless!
I’m hoping this video link works, yesterday I was sat in my
office and I could hear mom walking up the stairs making
a funny noise so got my phone out ready! This was what happened next...

Have a healthy & happy BeYOUtiful, it’s the wonderful little
things you need to notice, that’s what’s kept my mom so young of mind. xx
