| Goal Scene... |
I have to get this off my chest! Am so vexed at Liverpool, yes Liverpool , not my beloved reds as I generally refer to them! They are there, languishing in the bottom three, losing at home to Blackpool was not part of the plan! And to add insult to injury Torres is injured again! Ok I like Blackpool but that is because I am a romantic! Anyhow well done to them and by all accounts they deserved the win. I will not be watching MOTD to see what happened; in fact I could easily say that my love of Liverpool has now turned me off match of the day… as I watch Chelsea and Man City
I joined slimming world a few months ago. The consultant is a very nice lady who explained everything and gave me the books I needed with all the information. The diet has been going swimmingly, but imagine if I went and started yelling abuse at her on the weeks that I put on weight rather than considering that perhaps it was I who did not follow the diet properly. Would that be acceptable or reasonable? I think not. As far as I am concerned the blame for Liverpool loss today lies mostly at the feet of the players. .
Its similar to a story that I read in a popular women’s magazine, it told the story of two women, where one was resentful of the other. Getting down to the nitty gritty of it turns out the one of them had catapulted to the top of her career ladder and was revered across the industry. The other was stuck in a rut. The two started together, and the successful lady generally came in at 9am and left at 6 on the dot without exception. Compared to this other one who was often still at her desk late into the evening, sometimes as late as 10pm. This lady was resentful of the successful one, as she felt that she did not work as hard as she did. When it came down to it however that this lady stuck in a rut actually faffed around a lot during the day, tweeting, updating facebook, and ended up having to stay at work longer in order to get her work done. I found this story interesting because clearly the woman was deluded about her output and her work ethic was questionable. I can only imagine that her ability to make good choices and focus on the use of her time during the day was limited and/ or impeded. (Compared with dieting, managing or playing in a football team). My slimming consultant sends us a text message every Friday to remind us to make good choices as in our choice of food and drink for the two best days of the week. We all know how life is; sometimes it’s easier said than done.
I think it’s fair to say that the weekends are the hardest, you have to go and meet friends, you need to go to that party, or take little Johnny to his party these are all instances that impede on our ability to make good choices, indeed sometimes a whole situation can put paid to making a good choice at all. That is not the worst of it as when it comes to weigh in we are all so surprised when we have put on a pound or two or indeed over the moon if we have seemingly gotten away with it. It’s that thing called delusion again!

| Char Grilled Crocker Fish |
As for my week, it was a long one, marked by the trips to the hospital and errands that are not ordinarily part of ones repertoire, at least not on a daily basis. Did I make good choices, some of the time, not nearly as often as I should have. I am going to take a pat on the back for my good choice on Friday night whilst out with my old girl’s association. It was a Nigerian restaurant offering all my favourites, but instead I opted for the char grilled fish with Plantain. I was not good enough not to eat the fried plantain though, but still it was a small but important win, so am proud of myself anyway. Will it translate into a weight loss? Until tomorrow folks…what I will try to do though is be honest with myself analysis when I do get the result.
