Its even more important now!

I got a bit of bad news at work this week. Its quite likely that our creche will close in the coming weeks. This means little to no income for the foreseeable. However, i am going to continue paying for classes with weight watchers and the gym out of my savings for as long as possible. I intend on looking for work in a different sector. The interviews that await me are going to require positivity and confidence. I need a healthy and fit body in order to achieve those feelings. Wish me luck!

In Control

I am in control this week. I've hopped into the drivers seat and we're headed for success. I'm going into Sunday with only 31 out of my 49 propoints used! That is a massive deal for me.

 

Seriously guys and dolls, do not be afraid to talk yourself up once in a while. I mean just a confident little pep talk in the mirror once a day or once a week or whatever. There is a queue of people we don't even know (or we know and don't like) lining up to criticise us and call us lazy, obsessive, small, tall, heavy, skinny, popular or unpopular. Don't join the begrudgers. Be proud of yourself. You are worth all of this effort you are putting in to looking after your body.

 

Try not to give into all temptation this week. Shame is a horrible after taste!

The Constant Struggle

Yep I was up a half pound this week, no surprise there! After last nights session in the gym I can't do a single sit up today. I can't believe that I worked muscles in my abdomen. Its usually just a jiggly blob that doesn't undergo the same punishment as the muscles elsewhere in my body! So every cloud has a silver lining eh? ;)

I had a stressful day at work today and I was in the humour to raid the presses this evening when I came home from weigh in. I managed to come out of the shop with just two small treats for myself and I'm afraid I did have a mini binge at home. One thing that prevented a big blow out was the walk/jog I did before going home. I knew I needed to blow off some steam and exercise really was the best way to do it! There is zero guilt after exercise unlike the feeling you'll have after eating two days worth of food in a single sitting!

 

That is the mental blip over and I'm starting afresh again tomorrow. Its a constant struggle but sometimes when it feels like other parts of your life are in turmoil its good to have a few constants. :) My constants are my family, my friends, my faith and my efforts to be fit and healthy.  Here's to the dawn of a new day! #feelingpositive

So I was socialising and this happened....

I lost one and a half pounds last week which left me in total shock!

 

I could not have been surer that I had gained weight. I was thrilled. 

Last Friday a few sandwiches at my grannies party turned into this:

 

 

A drink or two on Saturday night turned into:

 

 

An inverted pyramid of drink!! I felt a bit inverted myself on Sunday so I needed:

 

This is where you're supposed to tell me "sure we've all been there"

I have used 114 points out of this weeks 49! Oops! Yes that is off the Richter scale; never mind the weighing scales!! A gain or staying the same won't shock me tomorrow, honestly! Its okay!!..... and breathe :)

If I have a loss I am most definitely gonna need CPR this week! ;)

On the plus side, I'm going on holiday in August so ladies and gentlemen, directly if you look under your seats you will find your life jackets and a little thing I like to call motivation!

Have a good week and don't overdo it like moi!
