DAY 33,...........Doing Right.
|
Good morning girls, what a lovely morning it is too.
I am just back from work and have had another successful night. No sweety, chocolate, cake eating for me anymore, I just dont even think about it, I cant believe that we are in to our 5th week, and I havent binged at work once, I dont mind blowing my own trumpet, and saying that I am really proud of myself for doing so well,
Anyway thats enough about me.
The feed back and support that we got yesterday was brilliant, it feels really good to know that some of you are doing so well, and feeling the changes already, for those of you who are wobbling, you WILL get there, you just need more practice.
For the days when you feel you have fallen of the wagon, and nothing is going to plan, instead of focusing on all the things you have done wrong and criticizing yourself, take more time to notice all the things you have done right.
See how many things you can catch yourself doing well and in keeping with the standards you have set yourself, write them down in your journal, you might be pleasantly surprised just how many things you do get right.
And dont forget to praise yourself, you deserve it.
Right girls, I am off to bed now, I will catch up with you all again this afternoon once Im up, have a lovely day, and keep thinking thin, and smile.

Well done mjm- you deserve a big pat on the back for doing so well yourself! It's really hard if you're working through the night too, and having to refuse "treats" others offer you.
Have just got home from my swim and am also feeling more confident and upbeat today. Have a good day everyone!

Went for a walk last night - on our way to vote - but it was nice walking with OH just chatting instead of sitting at home with a cup of tea and a cake or chocolate!!
He has suggested we do it more often. I'm also going walking with a friend but she walks all the time so will, no doubt, put me through my paces
!!!Have a lovely weekend, everyone

Well girls, today I have excelled myself, I went for a short run before I came to work today. It was lovely, the sun was shining, no wind and it was quiet and peaceful.( I live in rural Cornwall!) If this is not motovation I dont know what is,
Many thanks to mjm for all her encouragement, I could not do it without her and all you guys for support.

Hi girls, Im not long up, looks like I have missed a lovely sunny day again, (story of my life), a good tip for you girls, plan your days off and holidays for when I am working and sleeping, its guaranteed to be lovely weather!!
Valaber, I am really pleased to hear you are feeling confident and upbeat today, hold on to those thoughts, good for you swimming first thing in the morning, I wish I could do that.
Anne, wonderful, I walk twice a week with a friend, we have been doing it for about 3 years now and I wouldnt miss it for the anything, its so energizing, and I always feel lighter when I have done it, you will really enjoy it once your up to speed!
honeybunny, I admire anyone who can run, well done you, before work too, I couldnt run to the garden gate, I would need life support if I did it for more than that.
Spanishlady, what can I say, apart from, can I have your life!!, you are sooo active, you are an inspiration to us all, you must be on cloud nine, well deserved I say!!
Right, I am not going to do my usual Friday, treat the weekend like any other day, dont ruin the week by bingeing on the weekend rant, like I normally do, I am just going to wish you all a wonderful bank hoiday weekend, and I hope the sunshines for you, in more ways than one.

Hi Girls, had a lovely day today shopping with a fellow forumer. As we are both Flabuless girls we had a very light lunch and no wine! I feel so much more positive this week and back in control, unlike last week where I just lost the plot. Hope you all have a lovely weekend and stay motivated and focused.
Spanish Lady I am totally in awe of you!!! I wish I had your life too, it sounds like heaven.
Love to all, Lisa. xxx

Spanishlady,
I have to ask, what sort of dancing are you doing for the mayor, is it Flamenco? You are brave, dancing in front of an audience, if I have to get up at a meeting and just walk around, I end up tripping, falling over a table or dropping all my paperwork. I am so clumsy, what with dancing and swimming, you must be very co-ordinated. I do admire you. ps, the bikini will come.

Wow, well the best of luck, do you have the costume and all the castanets etc? I will be rooting for you, here in Helston we have our annual Floral Dance on 8th May, in the mid-day dance the ladies all wear ballgowns and wonderful hats and the men all wear top hats and tails and we dance through the town, in and out shops, everybody in step. It really is wonderful, if you google Helston Flora you can see the pictures. In the morning all the schoolgirls wear white dresses and the boys white shirts and trousers. Each school has different colours and the girls have flowers in their hair and the boys have ties of the same colours. It is so lovely.

Oh dear. It was my friend's birthday today so I took her out to lunch. I started off well - we shared a starter, then I had a salad - not too bad, but the ball was now rolling downhill all the way ...... I finished with - (whisper, whisper) sticky toffee pudding and cream.
Now for the good news. When OH and I went to the wine bar tonight I drank fizzy water - all night. And when we had our meal I let him have half of mine.
I'm going to have to watch it though, so I'm going to try and go swimming tomorrow.
