2nd August 2015
You mind is a powerful thing, when you fill it with positive
thoughts, your life will start to change.
Well I listened to my body yesterday and once I'd done my meeting
I chilled out for the rest of the day, and had me a good sleep last night, not
long been up and plan to do the same again today, give my body the rest it
obviously wants to recharge and get full well again.
I made it through yesterday, so let's start day 5 of on
track and doing this, Silver 7 by September is my challenge and I'm going to do
it! I'm feeling positive, if I can stay
focused whilst feeling rough, knowing food would comfort me then I'm on
it!
I'm thinking an omelette for breakfast, then I have no idea
where to go for the rest of the day, will look what's on offer and keep it
simple for sure. I will definitely be
topping up on plenty of vitamin C, got my oranges, think I might have run out
of Kiwi fruit but as long as there's goodness going in, the badness will be
going out!
OH ma'an! I've just
seen 21 weigh-ins till Christmas posted on Facebook, I'm not sure I wanted to
see that to be honest, but I suppose there's nothing wrong with a bit of
forward thinking and planning, so if you were to actually take that information
on board, what does it mean for you? 1lb
a week would be a good stone and a half off your now weight, 2lb a week would
be 3 stone, or even at 1/2lb a week (which is my preference after my first
silver 7) it's still aiming towards a stone.
One of the conversations in my meetings this week was one
lady telling another "yes you may not be where you wanted to be by now,
and you may have gained a little of what you originally lost but imagine where
you could've been had you given up! Or
even if you hadn't started at all, how much weight could you have gained had
you not even started!"
Yes, she had a very good point, see my members are all
supporting each other and I love that we have this community where we're all
building each other up and not trying to knock each other down. And thanks to this support another 3 achieved
their goal this week, there was also a few 5 and 10%, one being Sue yesterday
who's the first to admit it hasn't been quick, she has a really busy life,
works away from home a great deal and part of her work involves entertaining
people so you can't really do that whilst eating lettuce can you! However despite all the obstacles, she did
it, and next week I look forward to handing her that 25lb certificate as that's
only 1/2lb off now!
I do love to see my members have that "click"
moment, when it suddenly makes sense and it all falls into place, I actually
think I may have had that moment myself this week, it's taken a good 18 months
to get back, I won't lie. 10 years I
maintained my goal then life got in the way a little, and I lost my way quite a
lot, so now I've got a good stone to lose, and I plan on doing half of that by
September, I can and I will - NO MORE EXCUSES, no more I can't be botheredness,
just plenty of I've done this before, and I sure as hell know I can do it
again. I'm going to practice what I
preach and get on with it.
I'm doing it for all the right reasons too, I already love
myself, approve of my appearance, so I'm doing this for my health and yes so I
can fit a bit better into my jeans, instead of buying more. My waistline needs me :)
I'm hoping as you're reading this, you're with me, you're up
for the #WWS7Sept challenge, let's do this, let's make those scales work
overtime as the clock up our weight losses, let's not waste the summer, instead
of eating our way through it, let's enjoy it and #makesummermemories because
there really is more to life than overeating!
I'm not ready to start thinking about Christmas yet, I've got a good
month of Summer left followed by hopefully an Indian Summer or a mild autumn,
but I am confident I'm going to end this year lighter than I started it - are
you BeYOUtiful?
