There's just not enough hours in the day to do everything! I'm not a huge fan of this time of year, the greyness of it all, the damp makes my joints hurt and I get a bit grumpy so anything that can put a smile on my face is welcomed. Saturday night that came in the form of a lovely Turkish meal at Babba's Grill in Willenhall, a lovely meal out with himself, my brother and his wife, delicious food and would recommend. I love to try new foods and this didn't disappoint.
I have woke up this morning knowing I need to get a grip of my 'diet', it wasn't what I ate Saturday night either that's the reason, it's what I'm eating and drinking every other day! I've gone into self destruct, I'm just not thinking about my health at all. Just because I'm an expert in this subject doesn't mean I do it, I can motivate and educate others but I don't always do it to myself.
I'm in pain, my knee is driving me mad, I have made an appointment to get it looked like in December. My common sense is screaming LOSE SOME DAMN WEIGHT WOMAN, but my I hate the winter and feel a bit grumpy side is stupidly thinking with crazy logic 'MY OTHER KNEE DOESN'T HURT SO WHY WOULD LOSING WEIGHT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!'. How stupid am I being!
I've given myself a talking too suggesting I focus on tracking and cutting back a little in the week because I'm in charge of the meals, he's not here to lead me astray so I have no excuses. It's a start.
I've just done an inventory of the freezer to see what I have to cook, I'm going to work with that so I don't need to do a big shop, just buy a few bits to make meals.
I've taken lamb chops out that I bought on a whoopsie, just looked up the calories and ouch, half the pack is 732 calories but I'm still going to have them with some cauliflower & broccoli rice I have and lots of veggies.
Aryn's having sandwiches for school and thankfully he likes the thick, tiger bread which I really don't like so I'm not tempted to eat that bread.
I'm thinking omelette for breakfast, I'm enjoying them at the moment. I also need to force myself to go swimming or to the gym, I'm scared that I'll end up in more pain but if I don't try I won't know so as cold and damp as it is, I'm going to go swimming.
It seems crazy to reset this close to Christmas but I could do a hell of a lot of damage in the 29 days leading up to Christmas day, so I'll do my best to have a few good weeks. We're out Saturday for a meal for Aryn's birthday but one meal does not blow a week.
I GOT THIS - I actually haven't but I do believe in fake it till you make it, so I'm gonna say I have and see how it goes. Thankfully there's not much to be tempted by in this house so I can give myself a headstart.
I'm going to plan a few meals for the next few days, so lamb today, I'm thinking pork mince and pasta or noodles tomorrow, maybe a pasta bake because I'm out most of the day. Wednesday I have a bit more time so can spend longer in the kitchen, ooo I have a pork joint that I could cook have some with noodles and there would maybe be a bit left for his sandwiches. I also have giant fish fingers which I'm not gonna make into a sandwich but do with mash or chips and beans I think. Now I fancy that today the fish fingers but I won't! No need to buy any food now except a bit of fresh fruit/veg to go with it if needed.
Basically this weather makes me lazy and I can't be bothered to do stuff then that's a viscous cycle because I end up making or buying easy food and sitting on my backside watching tele, I need to get my ass off the couch and do stuff again because being lazy and eating junk makes you feel even worse.
I will go sort my swimming costume out now ready to get to the pool this morning that will hopefully wake me up and I can get the other stuff done later that has to be done sitting down, at least I'll have done something.
I hope you're doing better than me, if not maybe have a word with yourself like I have and let's just focus on today.
We can do this xx
Mwah, luv ya
Love me
