Siezing the day... whatever the day may bring !

Hi Clara, the bank holidays are now over so you can put it behind you. Be proud of yourself that you got straight back onto it! It's a learning curve. The theory side of LL will help you deal with those situations in the future. Have you thought about maybe telling some of your close friends that you're on the diet? You can still socialise without the alcohol/food.

First day back in work today. Full on stress. Oh boy could I eat !! But I haven't and wont! Go Me

Hi clara, well done for managing first day back and not tucking into food, thats another achievement you can mark down !
Keep ontrucking girl, you have done so well, put the blip behind you.
I'm just in week 4, went through wardrobe yesterday and pulled out a lovely top I bought a while ago, still had tag on, can't quite get into it yet and breathe! Hung it on outside of wardrobe and am looking at it now as my spur to stick to this journey, I want to wear the top even more now than when I bought it.

This journey is not easy for any of us, each have our own gremlins , know you will be supported by all of us without crititism.
Good luck tonight for WI.

Thank you ladies for your kind words of support.

Weigh in last night and I put on a pound. Gutted but totally my own fault so no one to blame. Given myself a shake however, and determined to get back down to basics. Will cut out the bars for a bit they seem to send me a bit do laly tap, and get me craving.

Note to self ALCOHOL IS NOT YOUR FRIEND ! Considering how much I used to drink on a weekly basis having one slip in four weeks is amazing. It's true what they say doctors, social workers and lawyers best alcoholics around lol Stress relief, yes and no. Most definitely not if it is going to cause me to put a 1lb on. I'm not having that so back to basics it is.

My boss was in a foul mood yesterday, she gets snippy when she is under pressure and makes people's lives a misery. It is such a come down after last week when she was on a high with the good work that we did. Why I allow her mood to get to me so much I don't know, but it really gets under my skin and makes a hard job that much flaming harder.

Anyway today is a good day to wear earings and kick a**. Onwards and downwards.

May the 4th be with you

Just put it behind you hun...whats done is done and I'm sure you have learnt from it.

You know you can do it xx

Well today I had my first comments on the weight loss starting to show. Happy days

It was cold today and I had my old faithful winter trousers on, which have gone baggy round the belly. Whey hey !

Also tried the jelly you can make with the mousse powder and water flavourings. Lovely and makes a nice change.

Went for a back massage today, desparate messures as my upper back had gone into spasm. It was wonderful. I feel as if I have beenbeaten with a stick but it will get looser now in no time. Note to self- have a back massage more regularly and do your back exercises or you will be sorry !

Onwards and downwards. Oh total abstinence today as well

Today I shall largely be procrastinating. Doing anything to avoid writing a report. Traditionally this would be a prime time for me to eat through my annoyance and sheer aggravation at having to work at a weekend. Especially as the woman had left the report so flaming late ! Bah humbug.:sigh:

Not to worry. So how am I going to reward myself without using food? That is the question. Suggestions on a post card please.

 

[HannahNewton]

Hair appointment usually does it for me Clara, booking or going for one.

It's my spoily treat.

I have a couple if hours work to do over the weekend as well. I usually set the timer on my phone for half an hour and by the time it goes off I'm in the zone and getting it done.

Don't ket it ruin your weekend xx

 

[SunshineCass]

Treat yourself to a new top in a smaller size that can be your inspiration? Hair appointments a good idea too. Nailssss maybe? Or shoes lol x

 

[Clarabow]

Nails, bath, fizzy water and film on tv.

 

[UmmZakaria]

Sounds wonderful I may copy you and have a similar treat evening except with Britain's Got Talent instead of a film lol! You're doing brilliantly, keep it up and enjoy your bath x

 

[LadyT]

Hope you enjoy your evening xx

 

[Clarabow]

Whoo hoo! Productive day, report completed, three loads of washing done and folded. Also did not resort to favorite drugs of choice to get me through the report. RESULT.

OH YES ! WEIGHTLOSS WILL BE MINE.

Even thought about doing some exercise, but then I had a lie down till it passed lol Walked the dog first thing though, now he is cwtched up on sofa with me.

Onwards and downwards. Here's to a good week. xx

 

[HannahNewton]
