3rd August 2017
When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in
which it grows, not the flower.
Yesterday I wrote, “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.” Well I used it as my excuse, yesterday my bestie and her
daughter turned up just as the floor in the kitchen was about to have a second
coat of scree so we had chippy dinner. I’m
so glad we did because I’ve been craving chips, kfc, all of it this last week
or so, well they were awful, the ‘southern fried chicken’ as they’d labelled it
was, well I’m not even sure how to describe it but let’s say even Alfie wouldn’t
eat it, so after a handful of chips, some mushy peas and a bit of curry sauce,
the rest went in the bin, once again cured for a good long time and I’ve got my
sisters stew to eat today.
It wasn’t just that they didn’t taste good, it’s the
heartburn and indigestion that comes with them, just not worth it. I did have my beans and egg on toast for
breakfast at least and for tea I had some Weight Watcher crackers with a bit of
low fat cheese. Not forgetting my
celery, I’m eating my celery and I like the crunch of it, it’s a good new snack
for me to have.
At least the floor in the kitchen will be completely dry at some
point today and I can get back in there for the sink, I also believe some of
the units are being delivered today, it’s all getting done. I removed wall
tiles yesterday too, it’s coming together and will be worth the chaos.
Aware August is in full swing I have to say, it’s making me
realise and pick up on the things I’m doing that I know I’d rather not be
doing, I’m also noticing the things I’m not doing. Being aware is not about ‘blaming or shaming’
myself, it’s observing my behaviour, and then I can work from there. What things are you doing that you’d rather
not be? For me it’s snacking, I’ve
started helping mom eat her treats, I’ve never done that really, it’s a bad
habit I don’t really need to get into.
To help me stop it, I’m afraid moms going to have treats I don’t really
like for a bit until I’m back on a good level.
What things are you doing right?
Mmm this is a toughie at the moment, I’m not being great, I guess its
breakfast, I’m having a good breakfast, oh and I’m snacking on celery. I’m also still doing something, I’m not
giving up, and I’ll never give up.
Okay, I’m going to write it all down today and share it with
everyone online, that’ll make me think twice about my choices! I’m thinking a scrambled egg sandwich for
breakfast, stew for lunch and mmm what to have for tea, I have half a tin of
beans in the fridge but they might wait till tomorrow. I might have microwave rice for a quick tea
when I get home shattered and I might pick up a cooked chicken to have with it,
that’ll fill me up, if I take the skin off, it’s a No Count day. Yeah sorted, No Count and I will stay on
track today – I can get back on track and turn my maintains into losses whilst
having a kitchen fitted.
Right let’s get this day started… You up for a good on too BeYOUtiful? Let’s be aware this August, make changes
because we care.
