This week has me smiling a little bit more. Not only am I working, I am also a little lighter this week, 600g in fact. Not a huge amount but a significant loss and one I am proud of! I felt motivated when Tony suggested a 3Km walk back from the mechanic's last week in the rain, holding the umbrella for me whilst I walked next to him. I also felt motivated when I walked into KFC on Friday night and walked out again with a treat for my kids and nothing for myself, it was liberating and the funny thing was, I couldn't believe how awful the chip I tried tasted when I ate it. The grease literally coated my tongue (it is always a test for me to try out the foods I once considered a staple in my diet and see if I still liked them) and made me feel like I had licked a cold, greasy frypan. It was disgusting and I'm so glad I hate that kind of food. I literally went home and made a healthy, yummy lentil burger which tasted oh so good!!!! Nothing better than healthy food, particularly when you grow it yourself!!!!
This week has seen me eating cos lettuce out of our very own vegie patch. It is exciting watching it grow. We also have a beautiful head of broccoli forming, it is now the size of a tennis ball and so awesome because there are no chemicals on it!! Next week will see the arrival of our chooks, how nice will it be to poach an egg from a chook that has been organically fed and is also free range!!! Can't wait to see the difference in yolk colour!!
I have to admit that all the hard efforts of growing vegies, composting scraps for fertiliser and having my own chooks is only paying off for my vital organs. No longer am I a slave to the beasts lurking potentially if I had continued my previous lifestyle, now I see freedom and happiness in the future.
It is all about what you want more out of life, the right now or right tomorrow, I know what I've decided is more important, how about you?
Until next time,
