The difference between who you are and who you want to be…
is what you do.
Wide awake at 4am, you’ve gotta love mornings like that at
least I’ll have a head start on my paperwork!
The first thing I’ve done is check on the Scottish Referendum result, I
have many Scottish friends waiting to see the outcome and although I don’t know
a thing about politics I know it’s very important to them, at least they’ve got
to make the choice, so now to wait.
Yesterday was another day on track for me, ended on 36pp
as I planned my Thursday night glass (actually 2) of red, we had Peri Peri
chicken for lunch using Nandos marinade, I wouldn’t be fussed with having that
again, the wedges were good though, made them in Actifry, didn’t use the oil
just sprayed them with olive oil frylight and crumbled an oxo cube over them,
mmm tasty.
I have to say one of the tastiest things I’ve eaten this
week is a nectarine, I rarely eat fruit and the ones I bought are so juicy and
sweet, they’re delicious! The second
tastiest would have to be my slice of back bacon I’m having for breakfast, the
fat from the slice is cooking my mushrooms lovely and all for just 2pp, worth
the extra I have to say, you can keep that F&H medallion this week, I’m
enjoying my ProPoints.
Well today is the true test of whether I’m going to stay
on track, we’re off out for lunch, four of us at the Boat https://www.facebook.com/boat.lichfield?fref=ts
and I’ve still got 24 weeklies left and 13 Activity ProPoints, I plan to stay
on track, shall have fruit for breakfast and then enjoy my lunch, they won’t be
huge portions because it’s good food.
They’ve got a new head chef so we’ll be seeing if he lives up to the
brilliant last one.
Then to make it through the weekend, which I will, I’m
doing this, I want a weight loss on Monday, I was just going to type “I’m
losing a stone by Christmas” and I thought to myself if I type it, that means I’ve
got to do it and what if I can’t! You’ve
got to believe to achieve haven’t you so yes I’m going to lose a stone by
Christmas, that’s my goal, that’s my plan, 14 weigh-ins for me;

14 more Mondays, I can do this, yes there will be lunches
and I know to 2 days out I have planned but that doesn’t mean I can’t still
lose a stone in 14 weeks, writing it down makes it real! It’s easy to write/type/say when I’m mid
cycle and smiling, I intend to keep that commitment for the entire month, I’m
challenging the thoughts in my mind.
We all have beliefs that can be long standing ones or new
ones that we’ve decided are true and over the last year or so I’ve convinced
myself I can’t live on 26pp a day it isn’t enough, well I’ve disproved that
belief over the last 3 days, I absolutely can live on 26pp a day and I haven’t
been hungry at all! I’ve also been
telling myself that my hormones are playing a huge part in my eating behaviour
well it’s time to take back that control and sort that out, this month I’m
taking back my power! I’m putting in
place those healthy habits that have in the past helped me lose weight,
starting with a pint of water each morning; it makes a difference,
psychologically for a start because it’s me setting the healthy scene for
myself for the day. I will be in the
garden this weekend and catching up on paperwork instead of slobbing in front
of the tv all day long! Lastly I shall
be thinking before I eat and planning and cooking some low ProPointed healthy
meals, my cook books are going to be making reappearance, I’ve been using the
meat out of the freezer so they’ll be some room for other stuff. I’m already feeling the love for a corned
beef hash, all ProPointed and within allowance of course.
Your mission should you choose to accept it is to set
yourself some goals, they don’t have to be long term ones, it doesn’t have to
be what you’ll achieve by Christmas, it could be just to decide what happens
this week! I’ve set myself a few, first
silver 7, 5%, under the stone bracket, completing all 12 weeks in my
journal. Anything that will motivate me
and remind me to stay on track!
Let’s have a fantastic Friday BeYOUtiful. We can do this.
