Spread love everywhere you go, let no one ever come to you
without leaving happier. Mother Teresa
I may have woke up to rain but I woke up after a damn good,
long nights sleep. Yeah I woke a few
times and dreamt a bit but I’m fully rested and feeling good – YAY!
We survived our first complete day without a kitchen, it was
all good. I’ve realised if I don’t stay
on track it isn’t because I couldn’t, it’s because I’ll be choosing not to and
using the kitchen as my excuse. I made
mom her usual teacake for breakfast, the toasters okay, I had poached egg on
toast used the microwave for the egg. I
had a microwave meal from M&S for lunch that was quite high in points but
lush, mom had egg and beans on toast – you don’t need a cooker for that. I had potato salad for my tea, that would’ve
been high and I’m not going to lie, I didn’t point it as I knew it was taking
me over my points.
The main issue with not having a kitchen, isn’t the lack of
cooker, it’s the lack of sink and worktop, luckily I can get back in my empty
kitchen today and there is a sink with a small worktop to the left and that
will be there for the foreseeable, they’ll only be one more 24 hour session
where I won’t be able to get to the kitchen in the next week or so, it’s all
good. Got my sister making me beef stew
today too so that’s even better, I might opt for No Count today. Yesterday I noticed it was the veggies that
were being missed out, when you’re trying to be fast and without cooker it’s
easy to forget the green stuff. Still
ate a couple of celery sticks, I’m getting quite used to it, I like it.
I think I’ll dig the slow cooker out, I could make use of
that I’m sure, want a proper dinner all of a sudden, it’s wanting what I can’t
do isn’t it! There’s always slow cooker
chicken with tinned veg and gravy, might do that the weekend, we can have jacket
potatoes too. No Count may be the way
you know, lots of things can be done that way and No Count can be about meal building
rather than recipe cooking. Can you tell I’m thinking as I’m typing J processing my thoughts
and finding my solutions. Microwave rice
is a fav for me too, throw in some cooked veg and a bit of soy sauce. No Excuses really…
Yesterday made me aware that I wasn’t remotely anywhere near
my daily allowance! Tracking it made it a
reality! One of my members who got back
to her goal inboxed me and said she’d ‘I became complacent with food, and let
life takeover.’ I think so many of us can relate to that, she’s now a good 2
stone lighter so it is doable, we can all do it if we decide it’s what we want
and it’s worth the effort. Food for
thought today right there!
I think if I’m doing No Count today, I’m going to have beans
on toast for brekkie as it’ll count as one of my five a day, if I get my beef
stew today that’ll count towards them even more. I need some potatoes for jackets, time to do
a bit of a proper shop I think, we’re running out of everything now bleach,
toilet rolls, the cupboards have never been so empty. I’m going to end up with a lovely kitchen but
no money left to fill it with food!
Right I’m off to start my day, another cuppa tea needed I
reckon.
Make yours a good one BeYOUtiful, stay aware…
