How Do You See Yourself?

[hchappyh]

Yeah I know - but I'm not really into anything - not fussed on make-up, my whole thing has always been food and now that's not an option. Will have to think of a new hobby to enjoy myself and spend some of my wages on....!

You need new clothes to fit the new you as you are losing so much weight on Go Lower!

Let me have a think on what else you can spend your money on. Golf is supposed to be fun...... and it keeps you fit as well.

 

[hchappyh]

My OH loves golf. If I told him I wanted to take it up he would laugh his socks off as he always wants to play and I always say we've no time for that!! I always loved eating out, so don't want to do that any more - maybe the cinema or something....? Keep thinking!

[SuzyK]

The thinking cap is on........ I will let you know when I come up with something else.

I had thought golf because it involves lots of walking which I think you do with your friend, don't you? so I guess you enjoy it.......

Tennis sounds like too much hard work, I can only think of sports at the moment but I will keep trying for you!

 

[hchappyh]

Thanks Suzy - yes I do enjoy going walking with my friend but that's only because we have a good gossip at the same time - if I could lose weight by talking I'd never have been overweight in the first place!! Good thing with Go Lower I can talk to my consultant whenever!!

Tennis - far too hard. I like badminton, but am too lazy for that...need a fun hobby - keep thinking...

How about swimming in some way. I know swimming is about the only sport I enjoy and there must be clubs that are more than just swimming.

I am thinking like water polo or something. Just to make it more fun as lengths on your own can get boring.

Maybe when I reach my target with Go Lower I can look into synchronised swimming for me as they all look slim so I need to get the weight of first. Look at me thinking of ideas for you and then start thinking about myself.

 

[hchappyh]

Thanks. I may look into swimming - not sure about the water polo or synchronised swimming, but plain old swimming - what a good idea. I can just drift off into my own world and do length after length....umm, will look into this. Thanks and pleased its got you thinking too....

[SuzyK]

I enjoy swimming but I was thinking of something other than lengths, only because it makes it a bit different.

I will keep the thinking cap on for you and let you know if I can come up with any other suggestions.

 

[hchappyh]

Thanks. I do appreciate it....

I guess it doesn't have to be exercise?! Although that is a good, sensible way to spend some of my hard earnt cash! At least with Go Lower, we don't need to exercise!

Hey ladies just reading you post about not knowing about Go Lower untill recently. I did my homework too and a freind and myself started it togeather (to keep ourselves motivated).it worked because we both have lost and doing ok.
Im surprise that i have learnt qiute abit about food and eating different things now.

 

[SuzyK]

Isabel

I have also learnt alot more about food etc since I started on Go Lower.

It is great you and your friend are both losing.

Happy,

I just posted on another thread about bike riding..... just a thought.

I guess I lost track there of what you should be spending your money on and just assumed as a lot of sports are classed as hobbies I went of on that tangent.

I am also thinking of toning up as the weight is coming of with Go Lower.

 

[hchappyh]

Bike is a good idea - my son asked me the other day if he could get on a bike with me - I just laughed - me ride a bike....but actually I do quite like the idea - will have to save some of this hard earnt money to buy a bike (Maybe!!)

Isabel - its really good that your are doing Go Lower with a friend - I finally persuaded a friend to do Go Lower with me, after she saw my amazing results - she too is also doing great. Together we have learnt loads about food, portion control and healthy eating....its the best thing ever.

how about look on ebay for a cheap bike just to see how you go.

I remember when I got my "flash new mountain bike" they said after I have ridden if for a while and done some mileage on it I was to bring it in for a free overhaul...... well that was about 12 years ago and I have probably not even ridden 10 miles on it in all that time and so I never got my overhaul.

I will have to ask hubby to make sure it is safe before I get on.

 

[colly strings]

hey suzy how you doing? x

 

[hchappyh]

Good idea Suzy - e-bay. I never think of e-bay until it's too late. Well it's not too late now, so maybe over the weekend that's what I'll do. E-bay a bike....food for thought (Excuse the pun!)

[SuzyK]

Hi Colly

I am doing really well. How about you?


Happy
I also forget about ebay sometimes.

Others option are Freecycle or Reuse or whatever it is called in your area, I am always seeing bikes being offered. Also we have a local swap, buy or offer free site.... maybe you find out if you have something similar locally.

I have got rid of so much stuff through our local freecycling groups it is great!

I still haven't got on the bike but I am planning it this week. I am just not sure when......

 

[hchappyh]

Freecycle - you are a genius..what a good idea - will look into it over the weekend. I think I'm going to be busy this weekend now - thank goodness it's a bank hols one!!

Good luck getting on your bike!! Let me know how you get on.

xx

 

[SuzyK]

Thanks for calling me a genuis, you have just made my morning!

I will get on the bike soon. I just need a gentle kick up the rear to get going.

I am also planning a busy weekend. I am thinking about going away for a few days if we can get somewhere cheap and cheerful. The boys break up tomorrow and then don't go back until the Wednesday, so they are getting a nice long half term break.....

 

[hchappyh]

Your welcome....

umm a break -a-way....sounds like heaven. It's not going to happen for us...maybe the summer hols we'll go somewhere cheap and cheerful, but our budget doesn't budget for much at the moment. Just make sure you come home with the boys (ash clouds and all!!)
