2nd February 2015
So now and again I look back over my blogs from previous
years and I usually notice a pattern which at times makes me feel better and
reminds me it's all okay and this is the norm.
According to the last few years, 'cake' has reared its head around this time
of year, I'm not usually a big cake eater but for some reason towards the end
of January I start to get a craving, I find that really interesting. To combat it yesterday I made wake up
muffins, I only had one, they weren't as good as I remembered and I'd enjoyed
that lemon muffin so much at Costa coffee that they didn't compare, it such a
shame they're so high in ProPoints! I
need to replicate that cake because it was more cake like than muffin like I
thinks. Anyway talking cake at 6am is
asking for trouble so I'll shut up!
The other pattern throughout January every year is the fact
I truly struggle with my weight loss efforts, I'm just too darn busy and
anything I lose I then regain because of my birthday and yep this year's been
no different, weighing on 9th January I'd gained 4lb over Christmas, then
16th Jan lost 1.5lb,
23rd Jan gained 1/2lb Birthday week expected more
30lb Jan gained 1lb! Birthday week caught up on me for sure!
So I am, if you've bothered to do the math, exactly where I
started at the beginning of January, that could be worse, so I'm ok with that
and ready to sort it out now, no excuses, just 100% tracking and sticking to
the plan. Yes I'm crazy busy but that is
not going to change, no I don't like winter and find it hard to even go
outside, let alone exercise but I need to find a way to move more (don't miss this
week's meeting!) and yes I'm still craving cake (again don't miss this week's
meeting) but again if I want to lose weight as I say to all my members, I've
got to make realistic changes that I can keep up long term, not just for a fortnight! And that always starts with tracking because
it's a great insight into what you are doing and where you need to make
changes!
Unlike me my members have had huge success in January
1,937lb which is over 138 stone! Yeah
proving you can lose weight in January!
That's just incredible isn't it and proof that Weight Watchers works and
if I needed any more motivation to sort myself out, it's right there!
One thing that did make me realise I really do want to shift
these extra pounds was clothes shopping on Saturday, I really liked a dress and
I couldn't get it over my legs (which is where I carry a lot of my weight), so
I need to sort it out and shift a stone, no more excuses. I'm still happy with 1/2lb a week but I need
to stop with the 2 pounds forward, 1 pound back game, that's not going to work
at all.
I've started already, my breakfast is planned, I made it up
last night, overnight oats with raspberries and yogurt that's good for me and
my digestion. So pleased my stomach
seems to have settled down - another reason to lose some weight!
I have a beef dinner ready too, made extra yesterday, then
I'll have a light tea, thinking eggs maybe.
That's day one under control! I'm
thinking Filling & Healthy today as most of that is F&H. Having tried a couple of ready meals last
week, I may do a few ProPoint days too, but today we'll go with F&H.
Oh one last thing in case you missed my facebook post, I
tried the microwave swede idea https://www.facebook.com/WWBev/posts/10153056807602351
just pop it in the microwave, no stabbing, peeling, chopping. 25 minutes later take it out, cut open the
top and scoop out the middle and you have perfect swede. I'm easily pleased and impressed!
Have a marvelous Monday BeYOUtiful, let's make February
count, #FunkyFebruary!
