You have exactly on life in which to do everything you’ll
ever do – act accordingly!
When I realised yesterday that we’d started the second half
of the year, I looked to see the weight
loss I my meetings for the first half of the year and it was a staggering
12,357lb – 883 stone, how incredible is that.
It’s good to focus on the positives and celebrate the good stuff in life
don’t you think, I try to do that all the time, it makes for a happier life.
When was the last time you thanked someone for a job well
done, complimented them on something or just told them they were brill? We’re all quick to complain when something
isn’t done how it should be or if we’re dissatisfied but not so quick with the
opposite behaviour. Yesterday someone
paid me a compliment over the phone and made my day, there’s nothing better
than being told you’re good at what you do, and the fact that someone’s gone
out of the way to tell you is just a great feeling. So make today compliment day, get out there
and say nice things, obviously mean them don’t just make stuff up for the sake
of it – that’ ain’t the same!
One thing that’s making it hard to love at the moment is my
computer, it takes longer to start up than ever and it keeps saying “not
responding” how easy would it be to throw it out the window! Instead I shall run the clean up maintenance
thing this morning and see if that helps!
Until then I’ll walk at the computers pace rather than mine.
Had a lovely dinner yesterday ginger,
chilli & lime chicken breast, garlic mushrooms, roast veg with brown rice
12pp, of course if you were on F&H you could make a version of that from
scratch yourself, but I was going for convenience and opted for pre-ready
stuff, the chicken was already flavoured, the mushrooms were even already
garlicked ;) and the rice was microwave rice, I only used a third of the rice
on each dinner and had the last third for tea made fried rice with mushrooms
and an egg for 5pp with it. The chicken
was delicious and I would definitely have those in the freezer as a back up
when I’m in a rush, 5pp each and in the 3 for £10 range in Waitrose (posh ay I!
Not really that’s about the same price as you’d pay in most supermarkets and
the quality was excellent).
Oh I do love food! I really do and this week we’re talking about
eating out which is one of my favourite things to do and something you can do
on the Weight Watchers plan which is just one of many reasons why I love
it. By the end of the week, I just know
I’m going to want to go out for a meal, I already want a Chinese takeaway after
last night’s chat, it’s a good job my memory sucks because hopefully I’ll
forget that soon enough. There’s too
much food in my fridge to be eating out this week, got to work my way through
that lot first!
I do love having a fridge full of
lots of different good quality, healthy food, isn’t it funny what floats our
boat, for me opening a fridge and seeing delicious food makes me smile. I think it’s because when we were kids we
were hard up, there wasn’t much choice in our house for your tea, and it was egg
and chips or chips and eggs, not much of a decision there at all. Which is probably why these days food
shopping is something I enjoy so much, it makes me feel rich, not rich but you
get my gist, it makes me free like we’ve come a long way, it’s the one thing I don’t
skimp on, if it looks delicious and nutritious I’m putting it in the trolley. I’d rather go without other things to eat
well and my other thought pattern is, I’m eating less to maintain my weight so
that food can be good quality grub!
I’ve bought fruit this week, the
next step is to actually eat it, it’s not even that I don’t like it, I just don’t
snack so never think about it, but there’s a couple of melons in the kitchen and
I need to chop them up and eat them, that’s today’s mission – remembering to
have melon for an afternoon snack!
Anyway I’m waffling again, I do that
when I haven’t got anything specific to blog about, I just thought to myself
when I write who am I talking to and the answer is I don’t know really – anyone
who’s listening ;) I just like to clear my mind of any thoughts before I start
my day, it’s very therapeutic.
So have a fantastic day BeYOUtiful,
don’t forget to go pay some compliments, make someone feel good like that lady
on the phone did me yesterday. Be the
reason someone smiles today. Xx
