To achieve great things
you have first to believe it. Arsene Wenger
Hello, and here’s to a superb 2012, you’ve had a
whole day to get used to it, how’s it going so far?
Mine was full to say the least, drove back from
Cornwall which meant loading the car first, that involved 4 or 5 trips from
flat to car, up 177 steps each time and a ½ mile path! So I earned a few activity ProPoints
yesterday, although they wouldn’t have touched what I consumed!
The first thing I did when I got back was got on
the scales and I was two pound heavier than when I left for Cornwall, rather
pleased with that, although I won’t get my official weigh in till Thursdays
meeting, but even if another couple of pounds sneak it, I can live with that. I’ve
tracked regardless for the last 3 weeks and I’ve found it’s really made me
aware of my choices, I’ve truly enjoyed my food and overindulged so I’m
thinking if I just tweak it a little and start making healthier choices I can
lose a few pounds now.
I’m not one for New Year Resolutions but have to
admit over the last few days I’ve realised I really enjoy trail running so I’ve
set myself a goal for May/June when I go on holiday, there’s a coastal path
from Poppit Sands to Newport which is 13ish miles and I’ve walked a couple of
times in the past (the very distant past), I want to do it again but I’d like
to run as much of it as possible. I’ve
found out an old photo of me to stick in my journal and motivate me. Whenever I look through photos of myself, it’s
always the ones of me when I’m “fit” rather than “thin” that I like, so that’s
my motivation, I’m gonna get fit!
And to do that, I’m gonna PLAY this Weight Watchers
game, did you see the advert last night, if not you can see it on this website http://www.playweightwatchers.co.uk/. I loved it, and I’ve downloaded my copy, plus
it’s raising money for charity so that can only be a good thing.
Wasn’t sure about the PLAY idea at first but then I
realised life’s a game so let’s play to win, on their website, they talk about
four fab secrets;
1. Have fun with your food
2. Get moving
3. Join the gang
4. Healthy habits
I’m liking all those ideas, and I look forward to
seeing all of you this week.
If you’re struggling to get back on track still
because of whatever reason, start by asking yourself the following question
every time you go to do something,
“Is This Good For Me?”
Simple enough question and if the answers
no, why would you want to make that choice?
It’s a way to simplify your decision, ask yourself if this is genuinely
good for you -physically, mentally, and spiritually, today and next week and in
10 years. Listen to your inner strength which will be looking after your true
interests, not just your ego cravings - you'll start to get the guidance you're
looking for.
I’m lucky 2011 was a fabulous year for me full of friendship, here’s to
2012 being fabulous for all of us. Like
wine - lets all improve with age.
