A life spent making mistakes in not only more honourable, but more
useful than a life spent doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw.
Lots of success again in my meeting yesterday, and I took a photo of
some of my Wednesday lads to show I have lots of men succeeding in my meeting
too, this gang have lost over 500lbs between them, just incredible and help to
make Wednesday night a great meeting.
There is so much success in the meetings, I'm loving Smart Points, not
everyone wants to be famous on Facebook of course, but here you'll find just
some of those that are happy to be https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153617957520862.1073741916.595730861&type=1&l=8febadcf9f

I think every member that every
walked into my meeting deserves an award because it means they've decided to
take back control and care of themselves, that deserves recognition for sure!
Another busy day ahead, points
again for me I think as I've cooked Nyonya ready for my tea, I had a points day
yesterday too because of eating out and having the eggs royale for 19sp. So I'll have done 5 days No Count and 2 Smart
Points when I get weighed tomorrow, not been 100% (never am really am I!) but
the fingers are crossed for a loss.
The recipe below sounds good, a
chance for me to use the buckwheat I bought the other week, I'll need to get
the other ingredients, yeah think I'll have a bash at that the weekend or
something similar for sure. But until
then I'll get my backside into gear, go make me a cuppa, love getting up early,
I've already done 20 minutes meditation and drunk my pint of water whilst
writing my blog, all calm and clear for my day ahead.
Although yesterday that calm
didn't last, I was calmed as I got to my morning meeting by AnnMarie saying her
brother was coming to get my car to valet it because I'd emptied it to do my
meeting. What she didn't think about was
I hadn't emptied the rubbish and stuff off the floor! I filled two shopping
bags before they arrived and bless my helpers they sorted it all out for when
they got back with my car. It smells
lovely and I feel like I'm driving a new car, all shiny and clean, I might even
buy me some car seat covers and new floor mats!
Pimp up my ride ;) dangling dice anyone!
Check out that shine! My helper said, "Blooming heck Bev, your dashboards vinyl not faux suede after all!" I think that gives you a clue as to how bad it was, another helper tells people they need to make sure they've had their shots before venturing inside my car, so the chap earned his wage yesterday for sure.
So I can't recommend his service
enough, Double Shine Mobile Valeting 07891793670, great service, here's his
prices;
Right I'm off, need a mug of tea!
Have a great day, don't beat yourself up if you're struggling to find
your mojo, get back in your meeting and feed off everyone else's success, it's
where the magic happens!

Count Buckwheat risotto with salmon and
broccoli
Prep
time:10 min ~ Cook time:40 min ~ Serves:4 ~Easy ~ 8SP per
serving
A tasty
alternative to rice, gluten-free buckwheat grains are a source of protein,
fibre, vitamins and minerals. Super-quick, easy to cook, and perfect for a
midweek meal.
4 sprays calorie controlled cooking spray
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely sliced
225g Buckwheat, rinsed in cold water
1 cube chicken stock cube, made with 900ml hot water
240g Salmon, raw, skinless, cut into bite-size pieces
300g Broccoli, raw, broken into medium florets
2 tablespoons Dill, Fresh, chopped
1 zest medium lemon
2 tablespoons 0% fat natural
Greek yogurt
Mist a large frying pan with cooking
spray and fry the onion and garlic over a medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes until
softened. Stir in the buckwheat and cook for another minute or so, before
adding 2 ladlefuls of the stock.
Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring, until
the stock has almost all been absorbed, then continue adding the stock in the
same way until you have 1 ladleful left – this will take around 25 minutes.
Add the salmon and the remaining stock
to the pan and simmer for 2 minutes. Check that the salmon is cooked through
and the buckwheat is tender, but still has a bit of bite.
Meanwhile, cook the broccoli in boiling
water for 3-4 minutes, until tender. Drain and add to the buckwheat, along with
the dill, lemon zest and yogurt. Season well with salt and freshly ground black
pepper, and serve.
