Hi Ladies!
Hope you all had a good weekend. Nessie: How was your weekend away? Bet you felt great in all your new togs! Dawny: how did the exercising go?
Well I've had quite a busy one this weekend, visiting relatives, doing a bit of shopping, doing the Davina DVD both Sat & Sun
- but I have to say I can definitely see results, so I'm pleased with that. Plus its making me feel fantastic and so alive - so much so that I was bursting with so much energy last night that I couldn't sleep - just wasn't tired.....bet I'll pay for that later on today though
.
Weighed in this morning and I've lost a 1lb this week. I'm happy with that, as if I'm honest although I've been doing 790 it's been more a case of 790ish
. For example on Saturday me and my hubby went out to Nando's for lunch. Since I started CD our social life has been pretty much non existent (not that we were party animals before
), but a lot of our socialising revolved around eating out. So I decided that at Nando's I could have a 790ish type meal. I had roasted chicken with spicy rice (oh yes, and just one or two chips might have found their way onto my plate
). I was pleased at the amount of control I displayed when faced with the massive portions they serve up, and listened to my body and stopped eating when I started to have that 'satisfied' feeling, before I became 'full' (learned this when I attempted Paul McKenna, and it's amazing how it still pops into my head even years after).
Anyway on the whole CD issue and getting to goal - I have finally reached a decision on what I want to do. I feel like I have not been giving CD 100% for the last few weeks of 790 - although in fairness I've still dropped 11lb since Xmas. I just think I'm thoroughly fed up of it now. So, I am seeing my CDC tonight and I am going to start working up the 1000/1250/1500, continuing to incorporate the exercise I have been doing.
When I've completed this, whatever remainder weight I have to go to get to 10 stone, I am going to follow WeightWatchers. I won't be going to the meetings as I have all of the literature etc already, and to be honest I find the support network on MiniMins works well for me.
I've got quite a few events coming up in the next couple of months, so I really need to be eating by then, and not just restricting myself to the 'green & white' menu, because each time I have something that isn't on there the guilt I feel is just ridiculous - and I really don't want to develop and unhealthy relationship with eating, because of CD - when I have so much to thank it for because it's the only thing that has helped me lose the weight in the first place. Does that make sense?
Anyway - better get on with my day now. Hope you all have a good dieting day. Stay strong - we can do it!
