Make it a Good Friday!

30^th March 2018

Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.

A lot can happen in 3 days!  It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming.  Now of course if you’re religious you’ll see an Easter reference in there about Jesus, the cross, the resurrection etc, but if you’re a Weight Watchers you could also see a long weekend ahead of you with temptation all around, but it will soon be Monday, then Tuesday and everything will be back to normal and you’ll have either made it through Easter on track or you won’t, the choice is yours.

My weekend will be like any other, I’ll be off today because I don’t work on Friday’s anymore – yay!  I have my meeting in the morning then the weekend will be a quiet one, I’m enjoying the calm again.

I had a cheap eating day yesterday, it looked like this;

Breakfast - Egg sandwich and an apple - 60 pence & 3 Smart Points

Lunch – Cheese, onion and tomato omelette - £1.70 & 5 Smart Points total, fed me and mom, so mine was 3sp and 85 pence

Dinner – WW South Indian Vegetable Curry - £2 & 5 Smart Points

I already had all the food in my kitchen, it cost £3.45 for an entire days meals, not bad at all that.   The curry was absolutely delicious, I can’t believe I’ve had it in the freezer for months and not fancied it because I didn’t expect it to be good, now I know it’s only 5SP since Flex launched I’d definitely buy it again, they’re on offer in Sainsburys too.

Not sure what I’m eating today, need to check out what’s in the kitchen, I know it’ll be whatever we already have though, I will save some pennies on my food shop, I did really well in January, then my spending has slowly got silly again.

I know crochet ain’t rock and roll but it’s really keeping me occupied and I’m reallly enjoying it, I’ve been up since just gone 4am and instead of writing my blog straight away, I’ve been on the computer designing something I had an idea about yesterday, can’t beat using Excel as a crochet template, so now my creativity is coming into the process and that makes me happy.  I’m visualising summer, me sitting in the garden with a granny square and a ball of wall, with a glass of something nice on the side.  Oh I do hope we get some sunshine soon.

One of my members Emma got married yesterday, she looked absolutely stunning, all her hard work to get to goal and maintain in the run up to the big day with all the stress and hen night etc paid off and it looks like they had a wonderful day, the weather stayed dry to early afternoon too, so hopefully she got her lovely photos outside.

It always helps to have a reason to lose weight, a specific one, it doesn’t have to be an event, it can be a health reason, for me at the moment, it’ll be because I’m trying to save money, hopefully the weight loss will be the side effect, if I only eat what my body needs, I’ll save money and Smart Points, then weight loss will become the side effect.  Saving money meant I resisted the chippy on the way home last night win/win.

Anyway, my mugs empty, I think I need a coffee to follow that tea and water I’ve just drunk.  Oh I just remembered, it’s toad in the hole today isn’t it, I have the sausages, mmm, nom nom, now I’m looking forward to dinner time.  Yay and Sarah Cox is covering for Chris Evans on Radio 2, now I really am a happy bunny – easily pleased me.

Whatever you’re up to today, take care of you, remember it’s just chocolate and you can eat that any time of the year, it doesn’t taste different just because it’s egg shaped!
