Okay, think am going to have to start some kind of diary, as keep wanting to post daft things like - ooh, I actually like the Chic and Mushroom now. And prob people would get sick of me clogging up the Cambridge board.
Am currently on day 7, the first 5 days were blummin hard, but now I feel..... fine! It helps no doubt, that I lost 12lbs in my first weigh in this morning!
Just want to also keep a record of all the challenges that I overcome, so I can read over them when I'm a svelt size 12, and remind myself how much work this was, so I don't just go back ot my old habits (oh, I'm a bit peckish, I'll just have 4 slices of toast).
Today me and my lovely husband managed a 5 mile walk - was intended as a bit of a Sunday stroll, but we just, um, kept going! Now at the end of something like this previously, we would 'reward' ourselves for all our hard work, by finding a nice pub and having a late lunch/ early dinner and a couple of bottles of nice wine. Don't get me wrong, he would be happy with a coffee and a snack - it would be me that would want to go and eat and drink. However today, after about 3 miles, I was beginning to flag, and then realised that we weren't going to get our nice treat. Que, grumpy Wobbly. However when I realised that this kind of change equals slim me, then I started to cheer up, and managed to satisfy myself with a black coffee and a bottle of water at Costa. And then home (on the bus!) for a Chic and Mush soup. I know it might not sound like a lot, but HOW pleased with myself am I
Mantra of the Day - If my habits are fat habits, then that's what I'll be till I change em!
