Lose Weight and Get Healthy

This has gone to pott. But I’m moving it to top of my list for 2007!

Started this http://skinnyside.blogspot.com/ in an effort to be more accountable!

Stayed the same this week. To be expected.

No class until the New Year. I’m going to try not to do too much damage to my weight in the 2 week break!

I put 1.5 lb on this week but I have no excuse. I binged over the weekend and came very close to purging on Saturday night. I haven’t done anything like that in years. I mean years, in my past life!

I had a good chat with my class leader and I’ve worked out that most of my comfort eating or triggers are under control but this weekend I was feeling extremely low and cried a lot.

After talking to my husband, I’ve had to admit to myself that I might be suffering from PND. I’m seeing my doctor on Monday morning.

Another 1 lb off today.

Also went out walking tonight.

Another 3 mile walk yesterday!

Also, got this picture to print off and stick on the fridge!

You can order these online. My friend ordered the 1 lb one and leaves it lying around her kitchen to put her off nibbling. It also helps her feel good if “she only loses a lb” at weigh in! It was recommended to her by her Class Leader and she also recommended giving it a name, of someone you don’t like.

Went to WW this morning and lost 2.5 lbs. Happy enough with this. The 3 mile walk yesterday must have helped! Have to keep this up.

Going to WW tomorrow morning and not looking forward to it at all.

Let’s just say Halloween got in the way!

Went to WW this morning and down 1lb. That’s 3.5 lb in 4 weeks. Not bad I suppose.

The words “Slow and steady wins the race” come to mind!

If I’m to be totally honest, then I need to make a decision, based on how I answer the following questions.

• Am I happy with my rate of progress? ~ If so, then fine. I carry on as I am doing and can continue to have my little treats here and there, make 80% healthy choices & keep up with the current level of exercise.

• Do I want to see faster / better results? ~ If so, then I need to step it up a gear. Cut out the “lyte” bar of choc and low-fat crisps. Stick to the plan and increase my exercise.

So, which is it to be?????

Right now I can’t give an honest answer. I want to lose weight for the upcoming wedding, I want to lose weight for going back to work in January but I’m losing sight of the real reason I started and that was to get my body back in shape and be healthy, just in case we try for another baby some time in the next 18 months.

I’d like to be in the ‘bestest’, tip top shape my body can be in cause pg takes a lot out of me and following so closly to Lauren’s birth could just be so wrong for me.
