As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves.

I also drank ample wine to keep me satisfied, I walked for
wine, the half hour a day worked in my favour where wine was concerned.
It just goes to show that weight loss success doesn't have
to be all lettuce and crispbreads, it can be real meals that you enjoy eating
and my have I enjoyed eating this week.
Now the first week was like the honeymoon period, I was all
enthusiastic with something to prove, now I need to make this relationship
last, I don't want it to be a quick fling, I want it to work, I'm aware it
won't be easy every day, that there will be days when I find it difficult to
fit a walk in or even to want to go for a walk, but I will do my best and when
I can't or don't I'll let it go and move onto the next day's walking goal trying
to maybe add ten minutes onto that one.
Food wise, I have absolutely loved taking the time to think
about eating different foods, I really do enjoy spending time in the kitchen,
not hours slaving over a hot stove but just half hour preparing food I know I'm
really going to enjoy eating. Yesterday
one of my lovely members gave me some freshly grown green beans, so I came home
and made Nyonya using one of my simply cook kits, that took half hour max, and
for lunch we had meatballs in spicy tomato sauce and spaghetti. I made the meatballs with 5% beef and I added
the following spices;
1
teaspoon dried parsley
3/4
teaspoon ground black pepper
1
teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2
teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon
onion powder
1/8
teaspoon dried thyme
They were really tasty.
I'm going to start using herbs and spices more, experimenting with them
to find flavours I enjoy. Get my cooking
books out at the weekend to look for ideas, I do love a bit of Jamie and
Nigella, but I may have a mooch with the hairy bikers!
Gonna write me a to eat list :) a list of meals I want to
eat in the coming weeks, foods that I know I can look forward to and enjoy and
will help me continue my 12 week challenge, ooo I've just realised I'm over a
quarter way through the first 4 weeks which is the most important bit to me,
it's where "I will notice the changes" and that's more important than
anyone else noticing for me, because I want to continue feeling energetic,
enthusiastic and not forgetting healthy and happy. I have noticed a difference this past week,
I've enjoyed my walk in the fresh air, I read and walk so I'm enjoying my book,
taking time out for that is making me happy because I like to read. I've really enjoyed my meals, the spinach
pica pasta has to take the top spot this week, it was so much fun to make (I'm
like a kid, like to play), it tasted great and everyone else who ate it
complimented me on a delicious mood.
I've loved that me being on track and in the zone has encouraged others
to get back on it, that means I'm motivating people which is my passion, I live
to make others feel good about themselves, to love their lives and be happy -
that makes me happy.
Yeah I am looking forward to doing it all over again this
week, long may these glorious autumnal days continue because they make walking
pleasurable too. Hoping to take mom to
watch the deer's rutting this weekend, that's earn me a few FitPoints.
Here's to day 9 and completing it successfully, I'm going to
get my walk in as early as I can, soon as moms sorted, or before if she don't
show no signs of rising!
Happy Friday folks, focus on that healthy and happy BeYOUtiful
