Well a lot of yesterday sucked but I'm not going to relive it on
here! However the positives included fab
meetings, great friends, a lovely bunch of flowers off one of them and coming
home to a wonderful house full of a mom and dog I love the bones off. And to top it all despite how wound up I got
and all the crazy that was going on, I still stayed on track - BOOM! If I can stay on track and without alcohol on
a day like that, the futures bright, hell the futures weight loss ;)
Now I do believe in messages from the universe and over the last few
months, I keep hearing about yoga, I used to do it myself but it faced out when
I had a puppy because he thought it was a new game, then work and life got in
the way. So yesterday there was something
on the radio about Nigella and yoga and this morning when I woke up and as I finished
doing my headspace app, as I got out of bed I naturally stretched and felt
myself thinking about the space in my bedroom and coming to the conclusion I
could set my laptop up with my yoga video that has had years of use and no I
wouldn't be able to fit it in on a Tues/Weds/Thurs/Sat morning when my alarm
goes off at 4.44am but I can fit it in on a Fri/Sun/Mon, so that's my plan,
I've dug out my yoga video and I will start on Friday, afterall all activity is
good activity!
Enjoyed my meals yesterday, had smoked haddock, egg, spinach, olives,
mushrooms, tomatoes and an anchovy diced up for flavour. for breakfast, it was delicious! Then for lunch I had haddock again and mashed
potato with Brussels sprouts and made into cakes fried in a little spray oil and 10g
parmesan melted on top, served with asparagus and salad. Then teatime I was absolutely shattered, heck
I woke up tired! I didn't get home till
just gone 8pm, and I was in bed by 9pm, so I just had a light tea of 2 slices
nimble, smoked trout, olives and mayo with gherkins and salad. Proper tasty and finished my day in control
and on track and slept really well unlike my poor lovely mom, she's had a rough
night.
I'm building in those changes a little at a time, I'm aware I'm not as
active as I have been so yoga is a good break-in because it's calm time too,
activity is about more than burning calories, it's time out for yourself from
the crazy that is life. My salad box has
also made a huge difference this week, next on my to do list is soup, I want to
make some nice soup, it's a habit I'd really like to get into, enjoying a bowl
of soup in the afternoon, before or after my lunch. I see them on Facebook and they look
delicious, ooo I have celery in the fridge, just off to google celery soup.
Yep search engine never lets me down, although I actually use Yahoo not
Google!
Celery soup, Serves 1, 4pp
1
tbsp olive oil (4pp)
1
garlic clove, chopped
½
red onion, chopped
150g/5½oz
celery, chopped
200ml/7fl
oz hot chicken stock
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook
the garlic, onion and celery over a low heat for five minutes, until softened.
2. Add the chicken stock and simmer for
10-12 minutes.
3. Transfer the soup to a blender and
liquidise.
4. To serve, place the soup into a bowl.
I'm going to make that today, 4pp total = bargain, of course if you
wanted to you could just use spray oil but I think the oil adds a depth of
flavour that makes it worth eating. I
might just use 1tsp of oil instead for 1pp though.
Anyway, I'm off mom's bound to be ready for another cuppa and I'm ready
for another pint of water.
Here's to making it through the midweek hump day as it's now called!
