Always find a
reason to laugh, it may not add years to your life but will sure add life to
your years.
It's Good
Friday then, a day of tradition where people eat fish and hot cross buns. Who remembers the rhyme "Hot cross buns,
Hot cross buns, One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns.", for it should
remind be, "Hot cross buns, 5
ProPoints each, they're not one a penny, there's 4 in the pack, 20pp later and
you're gonna get fat!" We have hot
cross buns and teacakes in our house all the time, they're moms staple
breakfast, she does have one a day, I stay clear because it's just something
else I don't need to get a taste for! I've never baked them though, and I've just
noticed there is a recipe on the Weight Watchers website, maybe that will go on
my to do list next time I fancy a bit of baking.
Oh and
don't forget fish doesn't have to be in batter!
Fish is such a great choice and
it's so versatile, I love it, Salmon and Trout would probably be up there on my
favourite list but lately I'm taking a liking to white fish like cod and it's
so low in ProPoints, at 2pp for an 120g fillet, it really is a fantastic low
ProPoint option. Fish pie is my besties
favourite, but what about a fish curry and of course the ultimate fish finger
sandwich! Ooo now that might need to go
on my 'to eat' list.
Yesterday
as always was a great day at work, they are always enjoyable but a couple of
things stick in my mind the first was one of my gold members telling me that
when she was aiming for goal, what kept her going was "she just wanted to
be thin, she thought it would make a difference and make people think
differently about her", she realised now that it didn't, not the people
that matter to her anyway, I think she's realised they loved her then as much
as they love her now, being thin wasn't a necessary criteria for their love, it
was her who wanted her body to change, they weren't fussed. Don't get me wrong, she looks amazing, but it
hasn't changed who she is because she was already awesome. We also both agreed that we need some fun in
our life, we work too much sometimes and forget to take time out to giggle!
Well I
combined giggling with work on the evening, one of my helpers is a children's
entertainer, she does all the face painting, balloon making etc and last night
between meetings she showed me how to make a balloon flower and a balloon dog,
oh and a sword! Well I've not been that
engrossed in something for a while and giggle, I have to say it's not easy, it
makes your hands cramp up, but the look of glee on my face when I did it was
hilarious! Big kid really and can I just
say if you ever hire a kids entertainer, they earn every penny they charge! I quite like the idea of a few of my mates
getting together and having a balloon making workshop, how funny would that be,
even funnier if there was wine involved!
Yes
more giggles are necessary, I need more giggles (are you reading this Wyatt! We
need a giggle get together!) In the meantime I might find a good comedy film to
watch this weekend. I'm sticking to my 'cleaning
up my act' plan, there hasn't been much done the last few days because of work,
but I did a bit, the wine corner is sorted and all the cardboard thrown away,
magazines are moved and today I'm sorting the clean washing lying all over the
house and moving it to my bedroom - that's a bigger job!
I've
got the makings of a beef stew, I think I'll throw it all in the slow cooker
though, then I can go away and leave it and come home and eat it after my
massage later.
Laughter
is going to be the theme to my weekend, if the sun don't shine outside, I'll
make sure it does inside.
Have a
really Good Friday BeYOUtiful, I plan too.
