What
are the most powerful words in the universe? The ones you use to talk to
yourself. - Karen Salmansohn
I have
said it before but I’m saying it again, I have the best members in my meetings,
I love that we all feel safe enough to feel we can talk about anything and everything
without judgement and that’s what we do because we all realise a weight loss
journey is about so much more than food.
I’m very proud of how all my members support each other, it’s a privilege
to be a part of each and every one of their journeys, it really is.
Okay yesterday
I suggested we got excited about getting healthy, I’m liking this idea a lot, I
managed to not snack all day which is a huge accomplishment on a Thursday
night, so I’m feeling good this morning and ready to do battle with the
weekend.
Here’s one
reason why it’s a great idea to change they way you look at weight loss, Debbie
who came to get weighed last night has lost 24lb so far, when she joined she
had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes controlled by medication
and they thought she had ceoliac disease, last night she told me that they’ve
now re-run all her bloods and tests and her blood pressure and cholesterol are
both back to normal, they stopped her medication because her diabetes is now
gone and she doesn’t have ceoliac after all it’s just a case of ibs. What great news is that and shows that weight
loss doesn’t make for a healthier body if you do it in a healthy and happy way!
My
mission is to get through the weekend on track and in control because I’m getting
healthy and I’m going to enjoy it, I’m going to do some meal planning and make
me a shopping list, think I’ll have an online delivery to ensure I only buy
what I need. We’re out for lunch
tomorrow but that’s all in hand, I’m having scallops for starter because that’s
Filling & Healthy, I with either have chicken or steak for main I think and
I may indulge in a chocolate brownie for dessert or I may not bother with
pudding if I’m full, after all it’s not like I haven’t had a brownie before.
I’m
thinking a no meat day today, I’m going to turn into a chicken if I eat anymore
I think, I had delicious ox tail yesterday made for me by my amazing member
Rosemarie – wow can she flavour food and cook a mean meal, she is seriously good! So yes meat free Friday for me, I’ll need to
go and think that one through in the kitchen, already thinking corn on the cob
and also have spaghetti for one meal too. Of course there’s always the ultimate
veggie meal – egg, beans and chips!
I
cooked the Hairy Bikers korma yesterday using their new packet mix, I wasn’t
that impressed, I’ve put it in the fridge, mom can have it if she fancies
today, or I’ll throw it in freezer for another time, it’s a bit tasteless I
think.
I have
a feeling that this weekend’s going to be a good one, I’ve already decided it’s
that time of year again, yes bank holiday so it’s time for me to clean my house
from top to bottom again, it’s been a while and the forecast isn’t great so
that’s a good time to be a domestic goddess because if it’s hot outside, the
garden comes first and the house will end up waiting again! Yep Sunday it’s a date me and my Hoover and
duster and maybe, just maybe the iron!
Don’t hold your breath for that last one though.
Right
off to do my work stuff then my Friday day of rest can begin about 10.30 today,
earlier than normal but it’s got to be done now and again!
Here’s
to a fab weekend BeYOUtiful, get happy about getting healthy…
