11th
July 2017
Ask
yourself if what you are doing today is getting you closer to where
you want to be tomorrow.
I
lost 2.5lb yesterday, that's 5lb in 6 weeks and one thing that's kept
me on it is sharing my journey with others, yesterday I decided to
take it one step further and I actually shared the numbers, this is
what I weigh right now;
The number on those scales has varied so much over the last 13 years, my goal back in August 2014 was 10st 6lb, I'd started at 14st and since I've actually gone ridiculously low to 8st 13lb I think it was. I've always been comfortable around the 11st.
I
needed motivating to keep going so I asked my
WW coach to "tell me why I need to be a stone lighter? Give me a
reason?" & this was her reply;
Well then ...
You'll feel amazeballs in general.
You'll still be able to eat and drink!
You will move better.
You will have more energy.
You will love the skin you're in a little more.
Your health will become more important as you see & feel the benefits.
You'll be loving those clothes a little more.
You'll feel and look younger.
You'll be inspiring your members even more than you do now.
I
then posted that in my group asking if my members could add anything
to that and this was what was added;
It
will make looking after your mum a little easier.
Better
for your joints. Better for your heart.
Improves
your walking ability - walk without pain!
To
prove to yourself that you can!
You've
done it before and you'll do it again because u know how it feels to
be that version of yourself xxx your worth it xxx
and
last but not least;
If
it's what you really want then go for it! If your really happy with
how you are now don't bother but I'm guessing you really would like
that stone off cos you'll move about easier and have less strain on
the old joints. Your clothes will fit better and that new dress will
too! You've lost over a third already so Well done! Xx
Our
reasons to lose weight are always personal to ourselves, however most
of them are relevant, even though I do absolutely love me now and I
am healthy, I know I could be healthier, I do feel fitter lighter, I
do want to prove it can be done, more so because I absolutely love
eating and drinking. Not to mention because I'm stuck at home so
much, yesterday I was so bored (I haven't used that word in so long),
I just wanted to get in my car and drive, see the sea, walk in the
sand and I couldn't, I can't just pick up my keys and go. This is
why I want to do it, to prove that your situation shouldn't dictate
whether you overeat or not, it won't make my situation better, the
food is delicious and it is a distraction but it doesn't last, the
fat however does!
I
want it to say 11st, I'd got down to 11st 11lb
last November and then gained over Christmas and New Year, this
proves I can lose, I just need to do it. When I was doing it last
year I was sharing my meals, so I'm going one step further and
sharing meals and weight this time.
I've
shrunk in height a little too according to my last health check which
has taken my bmi down to around 10 stone, I can't see that happening,
to be honest I don't really want to get that low. So 11 stone is my
target by Christmas, oh followed by not doing a ridiculous amount of
damage in the month of December!
So
my I'm not shopping cos I'm skint week started well, for breakfast
yesterday I had a leftover veggie burger topped with an egg, 2 slices
bacon and curry beans for 15sp, that was a lot of points but kept me
full and I didn't want to waste the burger. Lunch was a bowl of
Weight Watcher soup out of the cupboard, been there weeks with a ham
sarnie for 7sp. Then for dinner I had mushroom omelette with a bit
of parmesan cheese for 7sp. Might just about have got my 5 a day in
there but definitely need to get more in today.
Alfie
and I went for two walks so finished just show of my 10k steps,
trying to earn some FitPoints as I finished my day on 35sp, used 5
weeklies! It's all good though, wine free till the weekend will help
me stay within my allowance.
I
worked in my office most of yesterday even though it's officially my
day off, when I finally went to sit with mom we couldn't find
anything to watch on the tele, what's that all about! We finally
found a film something about Sisterhood of the jeans and that turned
out quite nice but I need to find something else to do whilst sitting
in the living room because television just isn't cutting it. I do
love my audio books, I listen to them whilst walking the dog, usually
on hands free because I can't be doing with searching for my
headphones. I did chuckle yesterday when a chap who was about to get
in his car said, “I'd have slapped them”, I looked up and
realised he'd been listening to my book too and given his opinion, I
don't know how long he'd been there but it was funny.
Here's
to another day living without shopping, emptying the cupboards and
fridge, staying on track, proving I can – I got this!
What
about you BeYOUtiful, what's your day going to look like - you got
this?
