Journey to a slimmer me

[frecklesy]

Hi all, just starting my LT diary...starting tomorrow!!!!
Just preparing myself for my first week.
I have coffee, spearmint/Mint tea and some corsodyl ready for my first week

 

[JoanieK]

Hi frecklesy welcome! I've restarted today so our journeys are pretty close!

What are your goals love?

 

[frecklesy]

I'm currently 13.8 so iv hit the obese mark for my height, I would love to get down to 9.7 so 4 stone!!!
What are yours?xx

 

[JoanieK]

13.4 so I just stay in overweight but 1/2 pounds and I creep into obese I'm 5'6" I'm aiming for 10st 4lbs by Halloween and 9st 9lbs for Christmas.

Your Goals are very achievable and tomorrow is the first step.

 

[frecklesy]

We can do it! Iv done it before have you?

 

[JoanieK]

Yes twice, once in 2007 and I was this weight and lost over 4 stones. Then after having my little one I had gained and tried last spring and got to my first goal but my autoimmune caused me a lot of issues and only now trying to get control back.

It's great to hear you know what to expect and we can def do it- we've already proven that so now let's get shaking!

 

[frecklesy]

Yup! How has your first day been?xx

 

[JoanieK]

Honestly it's been fine, actually probably the easiest first day out of them all.

Wishing you luck with day 1!

 

[abbz]

Best of luck! 4 stone is totally doable and you've done it before so you know how easy it gets after the first few days and how it's all worth it in the end!

 

[frecklesy]

Thank u! Got all of u to keep me going x

 

[JoanieK]

That's it Hun you've started and well on the way, how are you getting on?

 

[frecklesy]

I was feeling ok earlier but I'm having an afternoon slump, I feel so ridiculously tired! Might have to have a nap How is day 2 going?

 

[JoanieK]

Not bad, been trying to keep busy distracting myself. Going to henna my hair this evening. Not hungry but not looking forward to next few days, day 3 is emotional for me and day 5 is my challenge so hopefully it's easier this time.

If you can take a nap do, I think you take whatever helps...

 

[frecklesy]

Yeah distraction is key. I'm feeling hungry now so I'm just going to sip at my 3rd litre of water before I have my final shake. Chocolate I'm so looking forward to its taste compared to the vanilla.

 

[JoanieK]

Lol yeah I just stick with chocolate.

Good on you on the water intake im only on 2l so far but i tend to take a pint in bed and would have a fair bit in the evening. as we used to say in here the more you drink the more you shrink..

 

[frecklesy]

So iv done well today as regards shakes and water intake (at least 3l) I'm currently in bed with a slight headache. I'm feeling very emotional tonight about my little dog who we had put down a couple of weeks ago. It's hit me hard this evening cos I would have been walking him as a distraction but he's not here I am tempted to go to my gym for a class at 8pm but not sure if that's silly?

 

[JoanieK]

You know your own body best but I think with a headache a gym class is perhaps too much for day 1? Would a gentle walk or a dance video at home be possible?

 

[frecklesy]

You are right too much for day 1, I'm feeling very sleepy now so hoping I just drift off! Reading my comments and experience from last time - I'm pretty chuffed I did 6 weeks - I hope I can do that and longer this time?!

 

[JoanieK]

You can whatever you set your mind to. Get tonight's rest and prepared for day 2..
