Today in the Office we are having a French Day. The only reason being is because one of the girls is going to France next week on holiday and any excuse for a party! So we are having brioche and croissant for breakfast and pate, ham and cheese for lunch. All very yummy and all very bad for the waistline!
Yesterday I felt so ill. In England at the moment its very humid and sticky and I think it just made me go a bit crazy! Anyway I texted Biggy and he said he would do dinner, then I got a text saying as I was ill he had got me something special and he hoped I would like it..... it was Chinese, Cheesecake and Red wine.... all nice but really not good for me. I don't see this week as having much of a loss. But this is where reality hits. When I first started losing weight I lost a lot quite quickly but I guess that is because my eating habits were SO bad and I had SO much excess weight. I still have excess weight but I am starting to realise I am not going to lose 3lbs a week and if I can lose 1lbs a week that is still progress and I should be proud and happy with it.
I am very much a planning and targets person, I have a 5 year life plan and am always thinking right I will do this and then that which will allow me to do that e.t.c but recently life has thrown me a couple of curve balls and my plans have had to change quite drastically. So now I am trying to not plan so much and I think that's how I have to look at my weight loss. Yesterday I was in such a stress about what to do and so down that my weight had gone back up... I need to relax. Like I pointed out yesterday I am doing everything right... I do watch what I eat alot more I may have the occasional slips but that's life and I do alot more exercise than I ever have in a LONG time. If I lose 1lbs a week I am going to be happy with that. I am going to stop standing on the scales every day and I am going to trust myself and my body to shape up.
This is a
journey and I should enjoy it...not race it.
