1st October 2014
There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets
in. Leonard Cohen
Well my fitbit tells me it takes me between 4 and 7
minutes to fall asleep, I’m happy with that, I don’t need it to tell me I woke
quite a lot in the early hours of the morning, I’ll thank my hormones for that,
they appear to be delayed this month! It
also tells me my bestie is the top of the league board in my friends list
despite only having her fitbit a couple of days, she’s not competitive much at
all ;)!
I had my slow cooker on and working before I left
yesterday for work, it seem weird chopping onions and carrots at 7am but I’m so
glad I did, my Rustic Beef one pot was incredible, I don’t think beef can be
better cooked than in a slow cooker, and using those cook in the bags make it
even more tender, it just melted in my mouth.
So 6 hours I left it, mine doesn’t have different cooking temps, it just
has off/on but seriously it was delicious, the Maggi bag was 3pp, so on F&H
you can have a third of the dish for 1pp from your weeklies, or on ProPoints,
the whole dish is 29pp and I split it 3 ways although it said serves 4, which
if you added some green vegetables I guess it could’ve.
I’m not going to lie, I’ve had 1 decent ‘on track’ day in
the last 9 days and that was Monday, yesterday didn’t end great, it’s those
damn ‘C’ words, crisps (cheese & onion), chorizo and choc ice! I don’t know what possessed me, well I do,
but hey ho, today’s a new day and it’s the 1st October so how about
making this month “On It October” or “On
Track October”, I like both, but think I’ll go with the first. I’m almost half
way through my tracker journal, but if you were to start a new one this week it
would take you to the end of the year, not a bad aim. I’ve not been perfect by any stretch of the
imagination but writing it down has really helped to remind me why I started it
in the first place and also to make me assess my behaviour.
So turning over a new leaf this month, I will be doing
F&H from today and not being attacked by those C foods unless they are
cauliflower and carrots! Who fancies
jumping on my ‘On It October’ wagon?
Yeah if we don’t keep going we may as well give up! And I for one ain’t ready for that….
So today, I’ve defrosted a piece of salmon, will have
that with brown rice and broccoli, I’m thinking I’ll makes some ham and
beetroot salad thins before I leave the house tonight so my tea is ready when I
get home, and to try and make up for last nights OTT event, I will not use any
extra ProPoints for anything, it’ll all be F&H today, thinking egg for
breakfast I haven’t had one of those in days! Sorted.
I’ll do something in the slow cooker tomorrow with
chicken I think, that’ll be nice to have that ready for when I get home on my
busy day, I can chop the veggies today ready.
All about planning isn’t it. Ooooo I think I’ve just changed the theme of
the month to “Organised October”, yeah I likes that better, we are much more
successful when we’re prepared, and by being organised, we will automatically
be ‘on it’ and ‘on track’. Sorted ;)
Right this lady has a lot to organise, I’m going to get
serious now, I know I mess about a lot where this weight loss is concerned but
that’s because I love food and wine, I’m passionate about living what can I
say, but seriously I always think about my health and happiness, I will never
gain and gain and gain, I have a number I see on those scales and when that
appears, I get on it 100%, no messing about, but to be honest because most of
the time I do eat well, I don’t see that number very often anymore thankfully.
Mmm eggs for breakfast, easily pleased me…
Here’s to an organised day BeYOUtiful, healthy & happy
all the way…
