A day of worrying is more exhausting than a day of work!
So I have no internet connection which doesn’t make me
happy, been with Sky broadband a month and rang them yesterday because its slow
and it finally got on my nerves, so he got me doing all kinds of tests and now
I can’t connect at all and someone will get in touch within 72 hours – great
joy.
Anyway now for the good stuff ;-) yesterday was truly an
emotional morning, I presented Denise with her 300lb certificate and the entire
meeting were fabulous in their congratulations.
Today I’m going to her house as the local paper is coming to take
photographs and she wants a bit of moral support so a busy morning as I’m
working off my laptop using my mobile personal hotspot to get internet via my
3G – yay to technology!
Well we’ve spent the week talking about our Summer Body
Confidence Challenge, 8 weeks and what would we like to achieve, I’m going to
take a look through my book this morning and start filling it in. After listening to all my members, last night
I decided that I too would like to get down into the next stone bracket, my
motivation for doing that is that yesterday morning I put a skirt on I hadn’t
worn for a good while, an elasticated waist which you would think would be
great but NO it pulled me in so much I looked like an egg timer – not a good
look trust me, there’s a big difference between hour glass and egg timer, ones
all curvy and natural, the other is having your breathing interfered with and
your circulation cut off!
SO yep down to business, no more maintaining, no more up a
pound – down a pound, back to some serious sticking to my allowance and
shifting those pounds. I know you’ve
heard it all before but it’s such a good tune isn’t it, and I’m happy to keep
playing it for the rest of my life as long as I’m healthy and happy I know I
will always battle against the bulge because I love to eat and drink and live
life to the full, it’s a small price to pay for being content.
Feel free to join me over the next 8 weeks in our summer
challenge, start by thinking about why you want to lose the weight and what you
want to achieve. We’re all more likely
to want to lose the weight when we’re at home trying to get ready to go out and
nothing fits, or when our back hurts because we’re carrying excess weight – yes
in those moments it’s easy to think about the reasons why you should make
healthier food choices. However come Friday
night when your other half suggests a takeaway and you’re tired, or Saturday
night when you’ve had a couple of glasses of wine, you’re having a good time
and someone offers you a third then it’s not so easy to recall those reasons is
it because the pain you were feeling previously has been stored. So why not write your reasons down on a
little card or piece of paper and pop it in your purse or on your fridge or
anywhere you might appreciate a reminder of WHY this is important to you, heck
put notes everywhere and anywhere, in the biscuit tin, in the wine rack, in the
fridge next to the cheese, on your dashboard in the car, anywhere where you
need a reminder of why you’re doing this.
So let’s get real, don’t set those sights ridiculously high
if you are unlikely to achieve them, you’ll be thrilled if you aim for 1/2lb a
week and get 1lb, yet you’ll be gutted if you aim for 2lb a week and get 1lb.
So yes my goal after weigh in yesterday is now 7lb in 8
weeks, I’ve got a week’s holiday in that time also so this is serious now, I’m
all about the weight loss ;-)
We can do this, all we need to do is, Eat Gorgeous,
BeYouTiful and have delicious days (as always).
