The fact that you aren’t where you want to be, should be
motivation enough.
Keep going, you’re getting there!
I finally managed to cook a meal from scratch in my ‘half a
kitchen’ it wasn’t the easiest thing though as I don’t have a lot of working
space at the moment, I needed to cut a squash in half and the work surface was
full so I used the chopping board on their floor! Yep, getting the rest of the units in can’t
come soon enough now, then hopefully the sink will be replaced before the end
of September and the other walls plastered and it’ll all be done.
The meal I did manage to cook was delicious, I finally
managed to get my hands on a spaghetti squash, it wasn’t cheap as it was from Waitrose
but I’ve seen them all over the internet and wanted to try. People use it as a replacement for – you guessed
it – spaghetti, once cooked you can use a fork to shred the middle and it takes
on the appearance of spaghetti.
I baked mine, then in a frying pan cooked onions and garlic,
then added chicken, bacon medallions, celery, edamame beans, chicken stockpot
and a spoonful of wholegrain mustard.
Mom absolutely loved it, which is always a bonus when I cook a meal.
I’d had eggy bread for breakfast and the two meals were more
than enough to fill me up, I did have the leftover chicken from dinner in a WW
wrap for my tea though before having another early night and another restful
sleep. I’m lucky that the week after I
have a string of bad nights I do seem to balance them out with good ones.
How lovely was the weather this weekend, I’ve spent a few
hours out there with mom just sitting and enjoying it, not quite a holiday but
not a bad staycation that’s for sure.
Only 3 days left of this month, then we start September, it’s
just going unbelievably fast this year, it really is, I’m under that stone and
wanting to get closer to the next stone, so I’m thinking about the 8 weeks to
make a difference idea, in 2 weeks you’ll feel it, in four weeks, you’ll see it
and in eight weeks you’ll hear it.
Yeah I have a few things that would fit me better if I was
that bit lighter, so I would definitely feel it, I know when I get closer to
that half stone mark which is 5lb away, I will certainly see it, then if I
could do half stone in the 8 weeks people would definitely notice and I’d be
hearing about that for sure.
Yeah 8 weeks, one day at a time so 56 days, today can be Day
1, it doesn’t have to be day 1 off my week, just day one to start focusing on
different things, tweaks each day or weeks, such as increasing my active
minutes whilst walking, drinking more water, eating some fruit, staying
focused.
I’ve got my food shop coming today, did my shopping sitting
in the garden yesterday after I’d eaten my dinner so I wasn’t hungry and
tempted. Only a small order, needed some
salad and fruit and dog food, I’ve even ordered a few cans of gin and slimline
tonic as it’s lower than wine, although I was on the Becks blue yesterday and I’ll
opt for diet coke the rest of the week.
Time to get ready for a day of meetings at Willenhall, there’s
a great joining offer online, saving 30% on the 3 month plans
and registration fee, only £52.05 for the 3 months, https://www.weightwatchers.co.uk/uk/checkout/#/plan great time
to come back!
Here’s to Day 1 of 56, 8 weeks to
make a difference, realising how quick this year has gone, those 56 days will
fly by and at the end of them not only will I be lighter but my wetroom will
have been functional for a good few weeks and my kitchen complete – I’ll have
started thinking about the living room!
We’ve got this BeYOUtiful!
