Too Much Inspiration!

So I finally got down to making my motivational poster and, having been a bit over zealous with the magazines and scissors, I now have enough pictures and slogans to make about 4 posters! I don’t do anything by half, me.

Have decided to take them home with me tonight and make a couple of posters, sticking the pictures into place with a glue stick and laminating them at work tomorrow. That way I can take my time deciding on my pictures without all of my work colleagues asking what I’m up to! Actually, the idea for personal motivational posters is totally work related and I’m not technically skiving. I work with children and families, and as part of that I sometimes do self-esteem work with children. Helping them to create their own personal motivational poster can be such a fun session to do, and laminating it so they can put it on their wall can be really good for focusing on positive aspirations.

Been feeling rubbish all day due to time of the month, although have been dealing with it pretty well. I needed chocolate so I bought a caramel Freddo (2 points) and a bag of buttons (4) points to have as snacks rather than having a chocolate munching binge that lasted all day. My work colleague, R, and I had D’s home made chilli for lunch, as it was my day to bring lunch. It was very filling and tastes yummy for 6.5 points which included a decent portion of rice. Due to being busy bees next week (we are out and about a lot in my job), R will provide lunch next Monday but I won’t be providing lunch until the following Monday as it’s the next time we will be in the office together. I have already decided what I’m bringing though, as I’m intending on converting her to the joys of sushi. I have promised her it’s not all raw fish so I’m going to try her on some (I don’t know what they are called!) little rice tubes with peppers or cucumbers in them, and some tuna mayo ones too. Also some large chunks of rice with a roasted red pepper attached. Yummy!

R has also been helping me come up with a plan for Friday as D and I will be travelling down to Wales. Normally it is a McDonalds on the way down but there’s no way I am doing that so I’m going to have to take some sort of packed lunch for in the car. Maybe sandwiches for D and sushi for me. Sushi really is an awesome food, as it’s high in protein and low in saturates, it’s filling and it’s tasty! I’m not a huge fish fan but I like tuna and I don’t mind king prawn things. D reckons you can put meat in them too so I might experiment.

Feeling a bit frustrated with myself about the lack of actual weight loss compared to what I wanted to have achieved by now. I’m still on track for losing a stone by my birthday which is better than nothing, but I had considered trying for 2 stone by my birthday. Feeling the need for some Just Dance action tonight if my period pains subside.
