Believe
in yourself and all that you are. Know
that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Christian D Larson
YAY it’s
Friday and it’s one of those great Fridays where I get to spend the day with my
bestie, we’re hoping our boxset arrives because then we get to chill and do
nothing all day (from lunchtime anyway once all the works done!), no kids, no
work, no shopping! WOO HOO!
Healthy
and Happy is my philosophy as you know and we need to remember there’s more to
life than food (sometimes it doesn’t seem that way I know!) yesterday I was
driving to my meeting at half 7 in the morning with mom, she comes with me on a
Thursday morning and I managed to set my phone up to record her singing along to
the radio as we do every week here’s the video to make you smile.
I can’t
believe I nearly lost her last year because of overindulgence triggering her
stomach to rupture, all that junk really ain’t worth it, we won’t be allowing
it in the house this week, not that quantity anyway. It’s why I’m so passionate about people not
buying food gifts this year, just think how many people end up with if everyone
buys them, the kid who gets a selection box from both nans, all 4 aunties, all
her parents friends, before you know it they have a dozen selection boxes, their
own little introduction to a future of diabetes! Then there’s all those poor teachers who get
a little box of chocolate off every pupil and end up with a car boot full of junk –
ouch, nightmare if you’re trying to lose weight, same goes for the medical
profession.
Yes I
know, everything in moderation, but that isn’t moderation and we don’t eat it
spaced out, we overindulge because that’s what that food makes us want to
do! If you can do the putting it away
and having a little here and there, I applaud you but most of us with a weight
problem can’t, we’d rather have a fiver in a card (or a £1) towards our next
Weight Watcher meeting than a box of ‘celebrations’ to ensure we need our next
meeting!
I will
be buying mom and myself enough treats to last us the holiday season and they’ll
be manageable like all the goodies that have come into this house this year and
that’s why my BeYOUtiful mom is still sitting singing in my car because we
realised it does matter what you eat more than just from a visible point of
view.
I know
I sound like a killjoy but I don’t mean too honest, I just want everyone to
enjoy Christmas before, during and after not to wake up half stone heavier new
years day thinking “I wished I’d not overdone it that much”, we get carried
away in the moment don’t we, or again maybe that’s just me and mom!
So
today I will have my chill out day, there will be alcohol and nice food
involved but it won’t be to the point of illness, we had giggles last Friday
without the booze, the booze just guarantees we both fall asleep sooner ‘-)
Anyway
this mood hoover is going to go and get on with her paperwork so she can enjoy
her day as soon as possible!
It’s
almost the weekend, make it a great one.
