You believed in Santa for years, you can believe in yourself
now!
I finished off the slow cooker chicken with a load of
veggies and a yorkshire pudding last night, actually Alfie ate the chicken off
my plate - he was grovelling and I was in a good mood, so I just went and got
extra veggies. I had chippy chips for
lunch though, I finally found an assistant that only gave me what I asked for,
they normally through loads at you. I
asked for a small cone and just a bit of curry sauce and that's exactly what
she gave me, she put it in a burger size tray, hit the spot, got rid of my
craving for them, although I realised it wasn't chippy chips I was craving,
it's Wetherspoons chips, they're so good, McCain's home fries they use, then
deep fry them. I'm going to get a bag
and see how they turn out in the actifry, they're not a bad food choice then as
the fat is kept to a minimum. I could
just eat a chip butty right now, even at 5.27am.
I get weighed by my boss today, it's our area meeting, it
was getting weighed at the last one at the end of September that helped me to
realise I needed to get on track properly and lose some weight, I'm looking
forward to stepping on them for a change.
It's going to be a busy day, a good breakfast is in order, I
could just do a bacon sarnie but I have none :( I could run over the new
co-op! Egg sarnie will do, I'm messing
about here and I've got stuff I need to get done, got to go to work.
We had a bloomin cracking meeting last night, so wonderful
results at the scales, Bonnie decided last week after watched 'this time next
year' on tv that she was going to set herself a goal like that, well she
started off with a cracking result of half stone gone. Kelly who joined with a few others when I
opened the meeting got to her goal too, they may have stopped coming but she
carried on and is now a few stone lighter and a big smile on her face, so
impressed. There was lots of success at
the scales last night and even those that weren't losing were smiling because
they'd mostly been enjoying life.
A couple of us got chatting at the end of the meeting, the
subject got onto how people on post the good stuff on Facebook, I do, I like to
share my smile moments, because no one is
entertained by someone else's miserable bits.
Anyway we discussed how some people think the 'good stuff' that gets
posted is that person's life all the time, it isn't and we need to realise
that, that holiday in New York you're seeing being posted could mean they've
eaten beans on toast for a year to pay for it, but I don't wanna see that
dinner pic, so let's remind ourselves of #reallife let's not live
in a bullshit bubble!
I mentioned the Samaritans image on their website #RealChristmas,
we had many an argument in our house on Christmas day when I was a kid, to the
point of when I was old enough and dad had died, mom and I went on holiday
every year after, we did that until the last few years, just to get away from
that tension and stress that Christmas seemed to bring to our household, not to
mention the arguments! Dad going down
the pub for a few beers whilst mom tried to make Christmas dinner with what
little money she had, then him coming home half cut and usually with a
"mate" aka a drunk who had nowhere else to go so he'd bought home for
dinner with us. Yeah it was all WOO HOO
fun times - NOT!
So if your Christmas's aren't all Christmas Eve boxes with
PJs and goodies in and party games, don't think you're alone because you're
not! My Christmas these days is less is
more, the less people in my house the more I enjoy it ;)
On that note, I'm going to get me and mom a brew, here's to a
good day, I'm blessed that I have an attitude of gratitude, that my mind leans
towards the positive naturally these day, if yours doesn't that's okay, doesn't
mean you can't force it in that direction. xx
