Life is a series of thousands of tiny miracles. Notice them!
After reading an email just as I was about to go to bed, my
mind was buzzing with ideas and I couldn't get to sleep, must remember not to
look at emails once I get back from work in future as I'm a bit tired now! On a positive I have a list of ideas for when
I get a minute.
"Practice what you preach!" A member said that to me yesterday morning
and it's stuck, I've just read a comment in my group from a member who hasn't
tracked for two weeks, saying she was going to restart on weigh day and another
member commented, 'why wait, start tomorrow' and I nodded and agreed, then
realised I haven't tracked for two weeks either and I need to restart today
too! So that's the plan, as I got cocky
Monday losing 1/2lb, I'd been well over on my ProPoints allowance, I knew that
even without tracking and I still managed a loss. My subconscious has been playing the 'how far
can we push that then do you reckon, before the scales shows a gain?" Ain't the mind a clever place, well my
conscious self this morning is acknowledging what's going on, telling myself I
don't wanna find out how far I can push it thank you very much, I shall be getting
back on track today and doing damage limitation before my meeting Monday,
missing this week because of doctors and dentists etc really hasn't helped, if
I could I'd get to another meeting this week but it's just not feasible as I
work my meetings at the same time as all the other leaders. That doesn't mean I'm not getting back on
track, I shall be doing a meal plan for the day just like one of my other
members inboxed me with, it won't take long this morning and I'll be glad I did
come lunchtime!
See some people might think reading my blogs that I'm always
refocusing, restarting whatever you want to call it and yep they'd be right! That's me, my natural state is lazy, greedy, procrastinator,
I find it so easy to sit around doing jack, watching tele and eating, so it
takes effort to be bothered to get up and do things, to eat healthy and make
wiser food choices. Why do I bother -
because I know when I bother it's great, I enjoy everything I do and eat and
how I feel in my mind and body. Where
does Weight Watchers come into all that, well it's my 'go to' place, it's my
community where I feel others understand and care. It's the place where I come aware feeling I'm
on the right track, that I can do this and that I'm not weird, I'm actually the
norm. Weight Watchers works because of
that group support, that motivation from the leader and other members, being
inspired by their success. I've been
'restarting' every year since I can remember but you know what, I believe
that's absolutely normal, take a look outside, doesn't so many things do that
every year, the plants have through a cycle just the same where they grow,
bloom, fade and rest, yep that's me, I've just come out of the resting phase
and I'm back to the grow but not in a physical way obviously :) we'll rename
the 'growth' phase 'resize' ;)
So yesterday I made pizza with the base I'd mentioned, this
was how it turned out.
I have no idea why the images have posted sideways, just tilt your head,
I've got a lot to do this morning :) not got time to mess!
It cost me 14pp, If I'd use passata instead of tomato puree
I could have saved a ProPoint, I used 2pp of cheese per pizza, I had to use a
cheese slicer as my grater was at the meeting!
It wasn't a bad pizza at all and you could add all sorts of toppings, I
realised when I started to make it I didn't have any fresh toppings but managed
to find frozen veggies to use, which I defrosted in the microwave first.
What am I going to eat today? Mmm, do I do F&H or ProPoints, just
nipping downstairs to check the cupboards, if I do it now, there's no excuse!
Sorted,
Breakfast
30g porridge with frozen raspberries 3pp
Milk in porridge and tea all day 5pp
Lunch
1/3 of Sainsburys Butter basted Turkey joint - 5pp
Cauliflower
Swede & 150g potato mash (3pp)
Carrots
Gravy - 1pp
Tea
Smoked haddock 225g 4pp
Leeks
Poached egg 3pp
Total = 24pp
Leaves me 2pp to play with!
that took precisely 11 minutes to go downstairs check fridge
and cupboards, plan it and write it down.
I need to do that every day!
Right that's me I'm off, if you're on track, awesome 'GO YOU',
if you're not, see how quick & easy it is to decide to do a reboot.
Finish this sentence for me, "I stay to my meetings
because..." Comment it below or
inbox me your sentence"
Then think about why you would tell someone else to join a
Weight Watcher meeting what will it do for them, then finish this sentence,
"Come to a meeting......" You
can send me that too if you would.
Have a great day because you are BeYOUtiful.
