Its not
about perfect, it about effort and when you bring that effort every single day,
that’s where transformation happens.
That’s how change occurs!
Every
morning my pc takes ages to wake up and work, we go through a slow start up first
of all followed by the ‘not responding ‘
stage! It’s okay once it works but up to
then it’s a big pain in the backside or is it just the universe using it to
wake me up slower because I literally jump straight out of bed onto my pc. I’ll go with that theory I think.
Well I
got myself all excited yesterday booked a ticket to go to London on Friday to
see the poppies at the Tower of London and then an hour later realised I booked
for the wrong day! I have no idea where
my head was at when I did it but there you go, I’ve got something to look
forward to in a month’s time! Now to
decide whether to actually do something tomorrow, the weather doesn’t really
make you want to do much when it’s forecast rain!
Starting
Day 4 of my journal which has 84 days in (I’ve just worked that out!) already I’ve
realised that I usually give up writing in them because they aren’t ‘perfect’
that may be I’m not 100% on track or I’ve made a mess of the pages with my
handwriting or changing what I’ve eaten or adding more on after I thought I’d
finished my day. I then realised it isn’t
meant to be perfect because I’m not, no one is, the idea of a food tracking journal
is to get to know yourself and your habits and work on the with the knowledge
you gain. As long as I can read and
understand it that’s all that matters – I’ve also told myself no one else has
to see it which will enable me to be 100% truthful in it and write ‘everything’
down because I know I’m not the only one who doesn’t want to write it all down
sometimes!
We had
a lovely beef curry yesterday to use the last bit of beef up, it was a jar of
sauce Sharwoods Rogan Josh, 7pp a jar and it served 3 not bad for something
with a lot of flavour to it and just enough warmth. As a member commented on the photo “This is what I love about Weight Watchers, being able to
use shop brought sauces as long as it's in your pp allowance - so much easier
with a busy lifestyle x” and she’s so right, some days you
have the time to stand in the kitchen and cook and some days you don’t.
Yeah
you really can adapt any lifestyle to suit, it’s all about changing and
adapting, it’s for the long term not the short term, I spoke to someone
yesterday who said “I’m getting bored with it now”, we had a conversation and
it turns out they’ve cut everything ‘nice’ out, hasn’t been for a pint since
starting and I explained that won’t work long term, no one wants to give
everything they enjoy up just to be a certain weight, it ain’t never gonna last
– not from my experience anyways. Nope I
will find a way of having a bit of what I fancy, enjoying my glass of wine and
doing the best I can to tweak and change my routines and habits to be the best,
healthiest version of me that I can be within the boundaries I set!
Yeah
being healthy and happy and enjoying life is the most important thing on my
agenda and if all that fits into place then my body will be in the best state
possible both physically and mentally. After
all, there’s no point being thin if you’re miserable and there really is no
point enjoying copious amounts of food and wine if it makes you feel ill or
rubbish – nope it’s all about balance, finding a happy and healthy way of life
that you can live for the rest of your life.
Who’s
up for making the rest of their year the best of their year?
Let’s
make today BeYOUtiful. xx
