A weight loss on weigh day - who knew!

Wednesday 27th November 2024

Well who'd have thought it, after not having the best few weeks, I went and lost 2lb yesterday!  I'm ending the month 1/2lb heavier than I started it, I'll take that, I weigh the same as I did on 19th Sept, so all is not lost, here's to day 3 of being back on track.  

Yesterday I ended the day on just over 1,000 calories, not intentional but I didn't have breakfast forgetting I wouldn't be home till almost 2pm, when I got in I had a can of soup, this was lush if you like asparagus.

I also had a banana and a punnet of raspberries, trying to improve my fruit intake, I don't love it but I can handle bananas at least, I was given the raspberries, they're edible.

I'd put a chicken in the slow cooker but put it on low instead of high so I had to put it on high when I got back which meant it took longer too make.  When it finally cooked, I mixed some of it in the broth with yellow pepper, savoy cabbage, green beans and wholemeal noodles.  Added flavour with soy sauce and ketjap manis (I found it in my cupboard, must have bought for a recipe once but it's nice) I wasn't sure this meal would work but it did, I forgot to take a photo of it in the bowl but it was very filling.  

So much so I didn't eat again yesterday.

Today I'm starting my day in a bit with an omelette, mushrooms and tomatoes added I think, then we're having fish and chips for dinner.  I've got a busy day so that'll distract me from food thinking which is always a good thing.  

Had a decent nights sleep even though I was up early, that really helps get through the day when you're not tired.  Pain levels moderate which is much better, I can tell I went swimming but its only a bit of muscle pain, although my right shoulder isn't impressed from it ;) My bloody hands hurt in this damp weather more than normal too.  Damn my body is not loving this time of year at all.

Okay, right repeat after me - 

It’s going to be a great day.”

Let's believe it will be, have a positive start to the day, let's cultivate a morning habit of optimism!

We got this BeYOUtiful.

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me c
