Be careful who you make memories with. Those things can last
a lifetime." Ugo Eze
We had a lovely day yesterday apart from the doctors and the
dentist bit of course! Although they
went okay too. Lynne popped over for an
hour and we had a coffee, then mom and I went for a lovely drive round, she
enjoys looking at the beautiful countryside through the window, no need to stop
apparently. 77 miles we covered, mom
spotted a hairy cow in a field of horses, which turned out to be a bale of hay!
As we'd forgotten to have lunch when we got back and I'd
been shopping, we had a cornet, Carte D'Or Salted Caramel Ice Cream, 60g scoop
3pp with a cornet 1pp, it was delicious and shared with Alfie! My tea was different, chicken curry and
mashed potato, it worked and they were both already made from the day before
and I didn't want to waste the spuds, I even put a bit of cheese on the mash
and grilled it, was nice if not a bit random.
There is not right or wrong when it comes to food
combinations, it's what you enjoy that matters and what's going to keep you
healthy and happy. Yesterday, I didn't
think about what I was going to eat next until it was time to cook, that's
really healthy because it means I'm not obsessing over food. I had scrambled eggs for breakfast because it
was one of the only choices we had in the house, I completely forgot to eat
lunch because we were enjoying ourselves.
I felt peckish when I was doing my shop so ate a small packet of cooked
meat rather than nipping to Mac D's or grabbing a packet of crisps or a bar of
chocolate. That kept me satisfied until
I got home and made our tea.
I did sit in the garden on my new bench and enjoy the last
bit of sunshine with a bottle of beer first though, that's the first time I've
done that this year. On the morning I'd
spent an hour in the garden, clearing it up ready for the summer flowers, half
filled the green bin, I've planted out some sweet peas and sprayed my
wheelbarrow planters gold, they were a gift from one of my amazing members, he
made them! I'd forgot to get a bag of
soil but when I do, one's going to have sweet peas in them and a climbing
frame, the others yet to be decided.
The man at the shop reliably informed me it's still a little early to do
my hanging baskets unless I've got somewhere indoors to keep them, so they'll
wait.
Love my new comfy bench, It's now got some cushions on it and I need to give it another paint job
I think, this is the chappy who made my bench if you fancy something a bit
different https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pallet-Creations-UK/516231645178826
Food Find Alert....
Bought these from Sainsbury's yesterday after being told
about them in our group, only 11pp per base, bargain! They've already got tomato puree in the base,
but I'm going to add a bit more, some delicious zero ProPointed veggies, maybe
a bit of ham for an extra ProPoint and of course a little bit of grated cheese
for another ProPoint. But 13pp for a
pizza the size of a dinner plate, that'll do me thank you very much!
I better start my week, looking forward to seeing all my
BeYOUtiful members at the scales and remember whether you've had a 'good' or a 'bad'
week, your meeting is the place to get to for support, encouragement and ideas. It's not feasible to be 'good' and on track
all the time, there's too many opportunities in life to overindulge and have
fun, because let's be honest indulging is enjoyable after all so we're going to
want to do it. The important thing is
realising that's part of your journey, persistence not perfection is what's
key, this is about finding the balance to give you a healthy and happy
lifestyle and that sometimes means you won't get a loss on the scales but you
probably had a really fun time not losing weight that week!
Here's to a great day in every way.
