29th June 2012
Just starting day 5 of Filling and Healthy and still on
track, I used ten of my weeklies yesterday on gravy and my first glass of red wine
this week which was divine, so I ended up having 9pp worth! My meals went like this though;
Breakfast - 2 Crumpets, 2 poached eggs and 2 large micowaved
tomatoes
Lunch – vegetable stuffed mushrooms, chicken, potato wedges
Tea – liver and onions, potatoes, carrots, green beans
Snack – 120g beef slices
I’m feeling really positive heading towards the weekend,
usually I’d be thinking oh here comes the weekend but I genuinely think this is
the first time I’ve known I can make it through 100% this year, although I knew
I’d do okay last weekend, I just wasn’t sure I could be 100% because of being
away.
I’m making a lamb roast dinner today, so will have to
ProPoint the lamb, Yorkshire and gravy but the rest will be okay, starting to
wish I’d bought beef as lamb is quite high at 100g for 5pp but it is also
delicious so I can afford a few slices.
I’m working this morning, covering a meeting so that’ll keep
me busy, then later we’re going bowling so there’s a few ProPoints earned, I’ve
got 26pp from my pedometer earned this week so far and 38 weeklies left so I
should be ok this weekend. I better get
a weight loss on Monday ;-)
My meetings have been great this week and yesterday morning
when Rachel bought in her trousers to show everyone what she was wearing the
first day she joined was quite a moment, she’s lost 9 ½ stone so far, then it
got even more emotional for me in the following meeting at I gave Pat her 50lb
certificate and I could see her getting quite emotional, no one else could
because she was on the front row. Then later,
another member who’d been very sad the week before lost 5lb and her smile was gorgeous, I also
got a hug which is always nice.
(Photos are of Rachel before & now, hasn't she done amazingly well, anyone who loses even 1lb has done well, it's not easy to resist tempation!)
I really do have the best job ever! Seeing people improve their lives going from “tired
all the time”, “uncomfortable & unhappy”, “nothing to wear but baggy clothes”
(these are all quotes used by new members this week), to making themselves
healthier, feeling better about themselves, building their self confidence, and
enjoying life more.
Yep weight is a very emotional issue and really does affect
people more than some will ever know, it can affect every aspect of your life,
not for everyone but for a lot of people it makes a huge difference to their
behaviour and the things that they do.
I had a lovely lady join my meeting yesterday and when we
chatted afterwards, she was very relieved to hear she would still be able to
enjoy a glass or two of red wine (we’ll get on I’m sure ;-> ), she was
telling me how everyone is an expert on how she can shift the pounds, offering
her advise from “cut the carbs”, to “you need to ditch the booze completely”! WHATEVA! It’s all about balance, there’s nothing you
need to eliminate completely and nothing you must include. The only thing I would say YOU MUST do is “enjoy
the journey”, because if you don’t you won’t stick to it. My emotional health is just as important as
my physical health and it’s no use my body being in tip top condition if I’m
miserable as sin because all I ever eat is ‘pure healthy my body is a shrine’
food! No it’s about balance, this week I’m
doing filling and healthy and I’m enjoying it, I haven’t wanted a cake or any
chocolate but when I do fancy it, I will include it, my mates also doing
F&H this week and she has included a few Weight Watcher bars because that’s
what floats her boat, I needed to save mine for wine.
Remember, if you fancy it – have it, include it in your
daily quota and then you’ll still lose weight.
Anyways I’m off, got a meeting this morning ten miles away and a dog to
walk first!
