Who's up for June-uary?
What? Yeah I like the idea, yesterday I asked how we could follow
Magical May and had lots of suggestions but my favourite was June-uary, Lisa
said 'Let's pretend it's January again cos we've all
got more motivation after the Christmas hols' I love this idea and that
motivation can help us get through summer feeling fabulous and energised.
So I had this idea to make that
even more likely for us to stick too, because we all know we don't keep those
resolutions we set ourselves in January.
They're always too extreme, so instead I'm going to set us a challenge
every day. I'm hoping you join in with
me and I'd love it if you comment on my post of Facebook page to let me know
each time you've completed a day challenge, let's start using the hashtag #WWJuneuary, share the photos with me of you doing the challenges - let's have some fun with it.
They're not going to be difficult but all of them will help us towards
our end goal.
I need help with mine for sure,
yesterday wasn't pretty, I didn't finish off the month on track, instead I had
wedding cake for breakfast and pie and chips for lunch, the upside was I left
the pastry and some of the chips. I like
that today is a new month, clean slate and all that and I'm up for a few
challenges.
Day 1 Challenge - really easy, I
think anyway. It's to replace at least 3
hot drinks with a glass of water, if you don't drink hot drinks (tea/coffee),
it's to have 3 glasses extra of water, maybe one with each meal today. Why this challenge? See I've stopped drinking
tea and coffee, it wasn't intentional at all, last week I was feeling a bit
queasy and counted stomach the idea of a cup of tea or coffee so started
drinking hot water, I'm not sure what day I had my last tea or coffee but think
it was either last Tuesday or Wednesday, so today I'm 7 days caffeine free for
sure. The withdrawal sucks by the way,
headaches, which I'm really not good with at all, however I have noticed I'm
sleeping longer, even if I am having strange dreams!
Why have I stopped drinking caffeine,
because it's just one of many things that apparently aren't good when you're
going through the menopause, alcohol was another but let's not get crazy here, one step
at a time! Caffeine, I can easily live
without, the wine we'll work towards!
So my day today is going to be
much healthier than yesterday for sure!
I'm thinking a light tea of 2 Weight Watcher wraps with tuna and
sweetcorn in the middle, maybe a point or two of cheese in there, that'll be
about 10 Smart Points or No Count using 2sp for the cheese, mmm instead of the
cheese I could have a squirt of low fat mayo and save the 2sp!
I need to use my eggs so I think
I'm going to make a crustless quiche this morning and maybe add some little
chunks of potato to give it some umph, that can be lunch with some salad.
Breakfast, well I'm feeling the
bacon, tomato, egg and toast combo, all easy meals for a Wednesday, all No
Count too, I need to do a week of No Count for a training day I have coming up
so maybe I'll start it today! Yeah I
think I should as the training is getting closer. If you have any No Count meal suggestions let
me know, either via facebook or email info@happyowls.co.uk.
Right I'm feeling positive,
rested and ready to go! How do you feel
today BeYOUtiful? Let's make it a good
one, June-uary all the way xx
