Do you
want to be happy? Let go of what’s gone,
be grateful for what remains and look forward to what is coming.
End
of the second week of Eating Well for 28 days, yesterday didn’t go as planned, I
didn’t feel 100% and ended up not doing a lot of anything or knowing what I
wanted to eat. I’m okay again this
morning, just an off day but held it together.
I
had scrambled egg with a little protein cheese for breakfast yesterday, enjoyed
that a lot you can have up to 23g of the grated for zero, 26g of the solid (the
nutritional info is slightly different).
After my morning meeting we were talking about chicken and mushroom pie
using lo-dough as the crust but I couldn’t be doing with the pie bit so I diced
a chicken breast, dry fried with mushrooms, added some peas and sweetcorn and a
can of Heinz chicken soup (7SP) then made up some Smash (6SP) and had me a bowl
of comfort food, only used about 3SP max of the soup, the rest is in a bowl in
the fridge. I did add a couple of
teaspoons of low fat spread to the mash though.
Proper comfort food that, I wasn’t really hungry the rest of the day so
treated myself to a bag of cheese and onion for 4SP before we went to bed. Oh I’ve just remembered I had a couple of
crackers with a cheese spreadable mid-morning because I wasn’t hungry but
wanted something, that was another 3SP – it’s all in my journal
downstairs. Yep two solid weeks of
tracking in the bag!
I’ve
just had this photo pop up in my timeline from back in August 2012,
as you can see it isn’t a flattering photo, my bestie was being sarcastic when she took it, but check out that stomach, that waist, that’s the photo that’s going in my journal, because I’ve been a WW forever, I know exactly how much I weighed there, I have the charts (saddo ain’t I) and it’s just over a stone away so I better keep going. Christmas (yep I said it) would be nice, 19 weeks, 19lb would be amazing! Ooo I need to keep this momentum going and I also need to take note of number 5 on the ‘eat well cheat sheet’ in this month’s WW magazine.

- Eat Regularly – three balanced means plus one of two healthy snacks will help keep hunger at bay.
- Enjoy the rainbow – eat a wide variety of fruits and veggies in all the colours of the rainbow.
- Stay hydrated – aim to drink around 2 litres of water each day to stay well hydrated, manage hunger and keep you energised.
- Track Smartpoints – Recording your SmartPoints will ensure you stay on track and make healthy choices.
- LIMIT ALCOHOL (BOO) – Reducing your intake of alcohol will improve your mood, sleep and weight loss.
Now
honestly reading those 5 points are you doing them? I’m not every day if I’m
honest, I need to eat more fruit in the colours of the rainbow, I’ve eaten
pineapple and bananas this week, veggies more of but this is something I’ll
improve on. I’m not drinking 2 litres of
water either, that’s one thing I can do easily, I will have a glass by the sink
and every time I go in to make mom a cup of tea, I’ll have a glass of water,
because I’ve cut right down on my tea drinking.
Oh and
alcohol, well okay I know that needs reducing, so here’s to slowly doing that
too.
I’m
going to have an hour or two in the kitchen this morning, the first hour will
be sorting it out and doing the washing up!
Use up some of that healthy grub in the fridge and make something
scrumptious. My fridge needs organising
so I can see what’s in it, I just shoved my delivery in on Thursday because he
was late and I had to go back to work.
Here’s
hoping for a weight loss in the morning and definitely having another week of
eating well, even better than this last week.
I will get to the weight in that photo, heck Lynne’s even offered me to
give me Jen’s old pink hat and backpack if I do, she really knows how to reward
a girl!
Okay,
a big glass of water and a mug of tea and I’m ready to take on the kitchen, I
think it may have stopped raining so I’ll be able to walk Alfie, he won’t
usually go in the rain.
Here’s
to continue to work on a healthy life and let’s have a very great Sunday
BeYOUtiful.
