⚖️🔋 Maybe it’s time to take the battery out of the scales…

I’ve just come back from a week away where I couldn’t weigh myself every day — and do you know what? I had to trust myself.

Without that daily number to focus on, I naturally became more aware of what I was eating, made choices that felt right for me, enjoyed my holiday… and came home weighing less than 1kg more than when I left. 💛

It’s reminded me that sometimes we need to step away from the scales and learn to trust the habits we’re building.

The scales are a tool — they don’t need to be the boss. ✨

Maybe taking the battery out for a while could help you discover just how capable you are without that daily number.

I didn’t swip this when I had it last week. Just checked it now, and somewhat shocked, it’s 14.5 swips!! I could have had a Malibu and Diet Coke for only 2.5 swips, and it would have been a really good swap - ah well, hindsight is a marvellous thing, I will try and remember that next time 😢

I am back to food optimising now, and even went to the gym last night, for the first time in a couple of weeks. Hopefully the scales will be kind at the weekend, I’ll let you all know.

I am always on the look out for different flavoured microwave rices (low swip of course), as I like to keep them in the cupboard for those days I’m rushing out the door and didn’t have leftovers to take for lunch.

Found this packet in Morrisons and it’s only 1.5 swips for the whole packet, and cooks in 90 seconds! The very epitome of ‘fast food’ and it was delicious, I had this with some tuna mixed in for some protein - what would you have with it?

Do you have a favourite sausage? (Keep it clean guys!)

I do, and here they are, they’re from Lidl if you want to go shopping, and they’re only half a swip each and so tasty, they even get my daughters seal of approval. Great with pasta or cold in a packed lunch.

Tea last night, my first night cooking back in my own kitchen, was an old favourite - slow cooker bolognese, with plenty of added veg (onion, carrots and celery), and red lentils too, so good and so tasty. Best of all, as it makes so much, I will be able to freeze some to have another night.

As the evenings start to draw in, I’m looking forward to making more use of my slow cooker - let me know what your favourite slow cooker meals are.

I’m back!

Well, I had a lovely time away, but it’s good to be back and to know I have control over what I’m eating. I have now been shopping and stocked up on bits and pieces for the week ahead. I haven’t done a menu for this week, I’m just going to wing it, but I have plenty of fruit and vegetables with some protein thrown in for good measure. I know I have some chicken in the freezer as well as mince pork and beef. I always have pasta and rice in the cupboard as well as tins of tomatoes and beans - so here’s to a week of food optimising!

“Never assume, it makes an ass out of you and me”

This is so true, and I was reminded of this yet again this week - the friend that I’m staying with bought this in M&S for our tea, and whilst I’ve not been counting swips while away, I was curious and decided to scan this packet, it was only 5 swips per portion.

Now this is something I would not have even picked up if I had been on my own, the moment something comes “in a creamy mature cheddar cheese sauce” I can feel the pounds piling on, but I have to admit, it was delicious and felt so much more decadent than the 5 swips it turned out to be.

I know sometimes you will pick something up and be horrified at the swips, but maybe, just maybe, you could discover a new favourite!

Another in the getting back on track series…

How much do you want this - your long term goal has to be strong enough to make you think twice about those short term treats, that feel nice at the time, but you end up beating yourself up for afterwards, and they move you further away from what you REALLY want.
