Do it now. Sometimes 'later' becomes 'never'.
Another Monday
morning, they roll round quickly don't they, we had a lovely chilled day
yesterday, I did take myself for a good walk though and I've just looked and I
was 445 steps shy of my 10,000, if I'd know I think I'd have been tempted to
walk round the garden before bed!
I also had me half
hour or so in the kitchen looking through all my Weight Watchers books finding
meals to make, writing a menu plan and doing my shop online. I'm going to be really busy for the next few
months so I've bought a delivery pass for Sainsbury's, the apps really good (my
bestie told me) so hopefully it'll save me time and money, I definitely spent
less yesterday by not walking round the shop.
This week in my
meeting we're gonna talk about hitting those goals, hopefully we're all in this
to lose weight forever but of course some of us will have an event to do it
for, or maybe summer (first day 21st June - 23 weeks way), Easter Sunday is April
16th (14 weeks away), a wedding perhaps or a big birthday. Sometimes it helps to have something specific
to focus on. It might even be that
you're doing the this time next year challenge or the 12 week goal challenge. Whichever you're doing it's good to know what
you can achieve, hope this helps;

The longer you
leave it the harder it will be, you should never put off doing something you
can’t go a day without thinking about, if it’s always in your mind, it’s
obviously very important to you. I
think I'm going to opt for the Summer challenge, yep, if I could lose between
1/2 & 1lb a week consistently, I'd be thrilled come summer, I'd be able to
get in any of those jeans in my bedroom, not just the one pair I'm wearing
comfortably at the moment!
It won't just 'happen' though will it, I've got to actually
do it and it's not just about eating 3 good meals a day either, I've got to be
aware of the extras and by extras we all know I mostly mean red wine! Last week was my practice run, it was manic,
I did quite well to be fair and I did manage to lose 1 1/2lb of my Christmas
weight, I'm going to change my weigh day to a Monday too, so when members ask
me how I've done they all get the same reply in any given week because I get
confused easily ;)
The meals I've shopped for this week are;
Lentil Bolognaise with sweet potato 'spaghetti' recipe in
the little comfort food classics booklet (page 25) that's free with this month's
magazine.
Prawn, red lentil & cauliflower rogan josh - this week's
free recipe card, I'm allergic to prawns so I'm going to replace with quorn
pieces for a veggie meal.
Toad & gravy, page 18 of the free Smart Start we're
handing out this month in meetings.
Lemony Salmon with couscous, page 34 of Smart Start
Chicken & potatoes, page 34 of Smart Start
Supper in a hurry, jacket, beans & crispy bacon, page 32
of Smart Start
Bacon & cabbage pasta, page 146 Healthy You - new WW cookbook
in meeting - it looks so good!
Sticky sausage open sarnie, page 14 of Smart Start
Crumbled cod with warm potato salad - page 15 Healthy You -
new WW cookbook in meeting (I may have not ordered the ingredients for this
because I'd got enough food to cook but it's defo on my to cook list)
I'm going to make a roasted garlic coleslaw too, sliced
cabbage, onions and grated carrots, then I'll roast the whole garlic bulbs in
the oven and when cooked mix the middle of the cloves with some natural yogurt
and stir through the veggies, I think that'll be lush. I'll then fill flat breads with it and add a
bit of grated cheese.
There's plenty there to keep me going I'm sure! The use by dates will probably dictate in
what order some of the meals are made, I will stay on top of this, busy isn't
an excuse to overeat!
Right busy day ahead, we're going to the hospital to get
moms hip xray'd, not sure how long that'll take but it has to be done and at
least we're not in a rush. I'm going to
start my day with some office work, start my week in control.
You up for being on top of things, being in control,
deciding your own behaviour? Make
yourself proud BeYOUtiful, let's get healthy & happy. xx
