You always have a choice!
Had my productive day yesterday, got stuff done, love Mondays like that, cleaned the fridge out, now to use up the stuff in there and not do any shopping this week. Spent half hour or so in the garden doing the weeding, filled a big black bin bag, which felt good, especially as the weather was lovely and autumnal yesterday, even Alfie was happy to have a couple of walks, one was a decent length for him too, bless him.
Did a cooking and catch up video in our Facebook group and the result was delicious Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic (behappyowls.com) other than a bit of toast it was all I ate yesterday.
What else did I do yesterday? My fitbit says almost 14k steps, 90 active minutes and 2.5k calories burned so I didn't sit around much. The first time I did sit down was to sign a UW customer up for energy and sim cards around 4pm, until then I'd been doing housework and stuff.
Alfie's had me up a couple of times in the night to go up the garden, but he only does it when he really does need to go out so I don't mind, plus we went to bed at 8.30, and I slept through till 6, so had a lovely sleep, apart from the two times he went out, at least I went straight back to sleep.
Looking forward to this weeks huddles, hoping to get lots of ideas from our members to help me with my meals for the next week or so, 'to eat' list at the ready!
I'm contemplating taking some fish out the freezer this morning, will go see what's in there that I fancy, whatever I have this week, it's coming out of that freezer outside! I know there's a pot of my curry in there that can be eaten at the weekend, save cooking, just add rice or chips.
Lots of people are starting to struggle now and we all need to remember and remind ourselves of the things that make it more difficult to stay on track and not give ourselves a really hard time about it! We don't take care of anything we don't love - so start loving yourself first! I don't have a size 10 body anymore, heck it's not even a 14 these days but when I look in a mirror, I see me, I don't focus on my excess fat and my size. Yes I'd love to be a stone or so lighter but I'm not going to hate what I've got whilst I work on getting there. I love me, I'm happier than I've been in a very, very long time, oh plus the people helping me be happier don't see to mind what I weigh either, and if the do and they haven't said, then I don't want them in my life because I'm more than a number on a set of scales and SO ARE YOU!
Here's to taking care of ourselves, making ourselves a priority, giving ourselves a break and accepting we don't have to be perfect but w do have to persist.
Mwah, luv ya
Love me xx
