Learn to say "no" without explaining yourself.
Well I made it through a full week, on track, used all my
weeklies, but only 1 of the 17 activity ProPoints my fitbit earned me this
week. Better still other than blogging
about it this week, I've not really thought about it other than at meal
times! Yesterday was probably the
toughest day as I was sat round chilling all day and could've easily have
overeaten. Luckily I didn't have loads
of rubbish in the house to go at and the good stuff would've had to have been
cooked which gives me enough time to realise I'm not really hungry just looking
for something to do!
Instead we started a new jigsaw, mom finished the last one
on her own, we've gone for a wasgij where the picture on the box isn't the
picture we're puzzling - now that's not confusing much! Starting small with a 500 piece to see how it
goes, but mom cheats anyway so.... yeah her attitude to 'sky' on a jigsaw is
'if it's blue, it'll do!' she doesn't care if it's the wrong shade as long as
the shapes similar!
After our weigh in this morning, yes I'm off to my meeting
for my first week on it weigh in, keep everything crossed for me, and I promise
whatever they say, I'll take it, I'll carry on because that's how it works, I
didn't gain this extra stone in a week and I won't lose it in a week, one pound
at a time I need to focus on. Anyway,
after my weigh in I'm going to buy some fish I think, it's really low in
ProPoints and delicious too. I also want
to get a good selection of veggies so that I can fill my plate, that's the one
thing I haven't had enough of this week and it makes a difference. The weathers warming up so salads are more
tempting for sure, I'm more than happy with a steak and salad for my dinner,
yep that'll do me. Let's keep it all
simple I say, get back to basics, lose some weight and keep the momentum going!
I'm looking forward to my meetings this week's all about the
happy! Which of course is one of my
favourite subjects, think about it, what makes you happy? From a weight loss point of view what are those
things you gain when you lose? I can't
wait to discuss this with my members, it's one of my favourite things to read
on Facebook when they post about their non-scales victories, I just love to
read it, for example yesterday one of my members posted "wanted to wear
something decent for mother's day lunch but I don't have a thing that fits all
far too big so going to the pub looking like a tramp but proud!" I love that, it says it all really doesn't it
:) slim and scruffy, works for me ;)
The one thing I said I could and would do this past week was
walk 30 minutes a day, I'm not going to lie, I didn't do it Friday or Sunday,
but I did manage it the other days and the whole purpose of doing it was to
take some 'me time' and to be fair I took plenty of that Friday and Sunday in
other ways, so I'm happy with that. I
think the one thing I've acknowledged I need to keep doing if finding that
balance, putting my own health as high on the importance level as every one of
my members. I must make time to prepare
meals, even if they're the quick, ready variety. No grabbing something that's high in
ProPoints for convenience, I need ProPointed healthy food that's going to help
me get back to my goal weight. I need regular
time out to recharge my batteries and as much as I love my work, I need time
away from it, even if it's only short bursts of time.
Yeah focusing on a healthy version of me, makes me happy,
that's the one thing I gain when I'm losing!
How about you BeYOUtiful, what are you gaining from your weight loss
journey? What's your happy?
