We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used
when we created them.
I had one crazy busy day yesterday, my feet didn’t touch the
ground, it started with walking Alfie for an hour which earned me 3 activity
ProPoints and I planned my breakfast and lunch whilst walking using my app on
my phone.
Next I had a fabulous meeting at Bloxwich, lots of weight
loss, 56lb to be accurate, David achieved his goal, losing a total of 72lb
which is just over 5 stone, I’m sure you’ll agree absolutely amazing. David was the first person I’d weighed and
the morning continued successful with Jo, Claire, Joy, Angela all getting
silver sevens, Lisa, Susan, Joy and Joan achieving their 5% weight loss and
Carol & Kelly both achieving their 10% weight loss. Absolutely fabulous and certainly enough to
inspire me and the rest of the group that we can all do it too.
As soon as I got back from my meeting I had to take my car
to be fixed, (if you need a good mechanic I recommend Tiff, 07939408405 tmrservices.tiff@googlemail.com,
he’s been looking after my car for 7 years or more and he’s great), anyway to
be productive with my time, I’d changed into my running gear and ran the 4
miles home from the garage, and after when I picked my car back up I then went
and did a bit of shopping so I have healthy food in the house to choose from.
When I got back I took Alfie for another walk, half hour
this time, so in total I earned 5pp from walking throughout the day, and 7pp
for my run, WOW 12pp towards the weekend.
I didn’t get round to my paperwork until later but I still
made myself cook lunch and dinner, and stayed on track. Sat down about 6.30 ish and was absolutely
shattered, but felt a bit wired from rushing, I thought to myself ‘shall I have
a glass of wine to chill myself out, I still have the ProPoints’, but instead I
just sat playing ‘words with friends’ for half hour then realised I had chilled
out without the wine, all I needed was to sit for longer than a minute and
relaxation would follow. I had a very
early night, 8pm and I’m so glad I did because I was truly tired, just got up
5am, so had 9 hours, even if they were interrupted by a restless, poorly dog.
I really enjoyed my meals yesterday, none of them took very
long to make, and that’s what I think I need to work on, realising meals don’t
have to be masterpieces, they can be quick and tasty. Pesto pasta is delicious and fast, served
with lots of veggies, it’s really filling too.
Yep, my plan is to get back to goal, so that I can enjoy
running this summer in shorts without being self-conscious of my legs! That’s my motivation. I’ve even got the photo to remind me I can do
it! One day at a time, one meal at a
time, I need to prove this week that I can go away, enjoy myself and stay on
track, to do that I need to save my weeklies and any activity ProPoints I’ve
earned for Friday. To do that, I need
to include plenty of filling and healthy foods, get organised and make time for
me and earn some more activity ProPoints.
I can do that! What
can you do to help you succeed.
I may not be there yet… but I’m closer than I was yesterday!
