What defines us is how well we rise after falling.
I love it when a simple sentence or two sums something up
perfectly and one of my members did just that yesterday when another was saying
she was struggling to maintain her goal weight, this was what she wrote;
"The trick is how we react
when we do fall...If you fell over in the street would you get back up as quick
as you could or would you lie there for a few weeks? We can't avoid falls all
the time but we can however plan how we will get back up when it happens"
I love that, how true, every time
I read it I think about falling over in the street and just staying down, we
wouldn't would we, we'd jump back up as quickly as we were able to and that
really is how we should behave after a bad eating day, we all have them after
all!
I've just completed day 8 of my
10 day free headspace trial, I am enjoying it, it really does make me realise
how busy my mind is though, even for ten minutes it doesn't want to turn off,
it still tries to get me to think about 'stuff', I'm managing to 'let them
pass' as your supposed to but I honestly needed to do this to realise how much
I need to find calm time every day not just on my days off.
Yes I'm really busy, but you know
what, it'll all wait!
I enjoyed some me time yesterday,
I spent a good hour walking round Waitrose (love that shop), I had a £22 coupon
if I spent £105, and they're not as expensive as you'd think, meat was 3 for
£10 as in Asda and other supermarkets. Yeah
I find food shopping relaxing. I also
had a couple of hours in the garden, have planted pansies in my pallets so we
have something pretty to look at now the summer plants have gone over.
I need my daffodils to arrive so
I can get all my bulbs planted, see that's planning, plant now for spring
flowers. There's a saying that summer
bodies are made in winter, it's never too early or late to start, weight loss
takes time, you can't think about losing 3 stone a fortnight before your
holiday, a wedding or some other important event! It's just over 13 weeks to Christmas and I
don't know about you but I know most members would like to be lighter then than
they are now, so get planning and preparing.
Do you track? If not why not?
Do you plan your meals? Would that
help?
What are you doing to ensure your
weight loss success each week?
It doesn't just happen, you have
to work at it.
This week is cake week, it's Macmillan's
Coffee mornings so we shall be taking part in my meetings, it's also an open
meeting week where none members can nip in and see what happens in a Weight
Watcher meeting, so if you've never been, this weeks your chance. Back to the cakes, I've got to try and limit
my indulgence, it's okay going to one event, but I'm going to be at 11 of them
and I already attended one on Saturday.
I did have the most delicious slice of lemon cake there though, and for
anyone who really does love cake, this is the recipe link http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/whole_lemon_cake_with_40866,
how many ProPoints - 200! Yep, 17pp for
12th of the cake, or 25pp for a quarter, thank the universe for that weekly allowance!
Time to get gone, I've got a busy
day so I'm going to start it with a good breakfast, eggs on toast I think,
making today a F&H day, salmon and rice for lunch with roasted vegetables,
mmm. Just tea to decide..
Have a great day BeYOUtiful.
