Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I
rebuilt my life. J K Rowling
Doh that moment when you wrap up something to return in a
cardboard box you found because you couldn’t find the original packaging after
looking for half hour, then you turn round and it’s waving at you! I’ll rewrap it in a bit when I’ve done my
blog.
Anyone who reads my blog knows I like a quote, do you
have a favourite one? If you do, will
you comment it on my Facebook post or inbox me bev_ww@yahoo.co.uk , you can
never have too many!
I can’t ignore the elephant in my blog room as much as I
want to, my weight, mmm well what can I say, other than it’s gone up a pound
again! Now it’s not been a great week,
moms not been well and neither have I and I won’t lie, I’ve got a little lazy
in the kitchen, there’s been quite a bit of bread involved, it’s just easy to
make toast or a sandwich when you feel a bit rough. I’ve not been terrible and eaten loads of
junk, I’ve just not really watched how much I’ve eaten, some meals have been
great, or would have been if I’d Weight Watcher’d them! For
example egg and tomatoes on toast when I have my healthy and happy Weight
Watcher head on would cost me 5pp, when I don’t like yesterday morning it cost
me 12pp! Not a bad different hey! So I had a word with myself (AGAIN!) and we’re
going to go buy a loaf of low calorie bread, stop using moms butter and go back
to my low fat spread and get a grip, I will stop thinking ‘it’s okay, I can
sort it out in January’ because it isn’t and I need to sort it a little
now. On a positive it looks like I’m going
to end the year weighing the same as I started it, however I’d much rather be
half stone lighter, to do that though I need to follow the plan. There’s Weight Watchers Your Way and there’s
Weight Watchers Not Doing It Any Way! I’ve
been the latter lately, I can give you a list of reasons and justifications or
I can sort it out. I’m going for the
latter I think.
Got my brother and his wife coming to stay for a couple
of days today, they’ll keep us entertained no doubt, I think I’ll go buy
something healthy from the supermarket for us all to eat otherwise we’ll end up
having takeaway and that’s not going to help my plans at all is it!
I really am ready for a week off, chance to recharge my
brain and my body, 9 more days as I’m working Christmas Eve then I’m back to
meetings on the 6th, I will do some work inbetween but it’ll be from
home and probably in my PJ’s, of which I need a new pair for Christmas I think!
It’s so easy to go over at Christmas time because you
want to enjoy yourself , I shared a link yesterday where the chap was telling
how much exercise you’d have to do to burn off the calories (I won’t be
inviting him to dinner!). However we can
choose a little better where possible, I noticed some mini mince pies in the
Tesco garage at the weekend and thought I’ll take them to use as a visual, and
they turned out to be 5pp for the two, not bad I guess if you really fancy
having a bit of what you fancy,
(they're sitting on an iphone for you to get an idea of the size)
I’ve just looked on the Weight Watchers website
and mince pies vary quite a lot from Asda, Morrisons and M&S’s mince pies
are 6pp to Starbucks Luxury All Butter Mince Pie for 11pp and Caffe Nero’s are
12pp! So maybe if you’re out having
coffee leave having a mince pie until you get home and save those 5pp! That’s a big difference really isn’t it? How easy would it be stood in the queue in
Starbucks for a coffee with your mate and just think “ooo mince pies, go on
then!” Too easy if you’ve turned off your
weight loss aware radar! It’s definitely
worth checking on your app before you order!
That’s given me a bit of a reality check writing this
today, can’t believe I spent 12pp on my breakfast yesterday!
I’ve just been downstairs to get the wrapper from a roast
chicken dinner I bought yesterday in the Co-op because it was reduced to 89p
from £3.49, you’ve got to look a bargain, plus they had two so that was our
lunch sorted, and after wrapping almost 50 gifts I didn’t want to cook. I was dreading working out the ProPoints but
I’m happy to say it was only 10pp, I think ready meals are the future for me
for the next month or so, just to regain some control over my portions and to
fit in with my busy schedule. It wasn’t
the best chicken dinner I’ve ever eaten but it was food I could live with now
and then.
Right what’s on the To Do list today, wrapping is
complete, need to get ready for my meetings this week, that’ll be my first job,
then I’ve got a project to work on so I’ll say have a nice day and be on my
way.
You know what, having just realised that ready meal
should’ve been £3.49 I think I’ll be cooking from scratch more, that’s expensive,
here’s to finding easy, quick, cheap meals to make or buy instead!
Here’s to a great week BeYOUtiful.
