Morning Everyone!
Hows it all going? Well I don't know what came over me this morning, but I was up bright and early and decided to do an exercise DVD
. I'm working from home today so decided to capitalise on the fact that I didn't have to get ready for work and do the commute. So there I was at 630am with my new Davina DVD. I did the warm up, 20mins legs/bum and 20mins tum, then cool down. I have to say I do feel better for it.
Dawn: totally understand about the exercise clothes issue, I had a pair of size 18 track pants that used to fit quite snugly around my middle, but now even when I tie them as tight as possible I end up with the 'saggy crotch' look
- so not good. Managed to dig out an old pair of cycling shorts that at least stay put whilst I'm flinging my limbs about!
Had a bit of a wobbly last night about where I'm going with the whole CD/diet issue. I'm so near to the end now, yet when I look in the mirror I still see fat. Was wondering will I still have these thoughts and feelings when I'm at 10 stone? Will I ever be satisfied?.....I just don't know? Anyway got hubby to take some progress pics of me (in my undies).....steady on now
I was just thinking that perhaps if I could 'see' what I see when I look in the mirror, but in picture form and study it, I may feel differently. Anyway, whilst I can see a dramatic difference between the new pics and the same ones I had took at 14.7 stone, it has confirmed to me that I still have some weight to go and it has focussed my mind somewhat (I guess thats probably why I was so enthusiastic about the exercise this morning - its definitely time to tone up
).
So I carry on, onwards and downwards
Anyway better go now and get on with some work.
Dawn: It's weigh day today isn't it? Good luck, hope it goes well x
Nessie: How's it all going up in Bonnie Scotland? We're coming up to Scotland in 9wks and 2 days time (not that I'm excited or anything
). My hubby is a Scot and we try to get up there whenever we can. I really love it up there. Last year we toured around for about 10 days or so, started in Edinburgh, then visiting relatives in Glasgow, then up through Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Fort William, across to Inverness, up to John O'Groats, then back down passed the Cromarty Firth and Moray Firth, through Aviemore, more relatives in Perth and back into England - phew!
This time we're Glasgow (relatives again!), then staying at a cottage in Glencoe for a week - last time when we went through it the scenery just took my breath away, and I just knew that this was where we would stay next time. We're also hoping to get across to a couple of the Western Isles as well (not sure which yet, no firm plans, just going with the flow). Hopefully I'll be eating properly by then, so it will be a combination of cooking my own stuff - cottage is very modern and really well equiped (another reason why we picked it), and having a few 'treats' out.
Hope everyone has a good day, speak soon x
