feedmysoul

I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future.

Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me.

It is time to feed my soul not my body.

. : About me : .

Name::michelle
From::victoria, Australia
I am a mother of 3 almost grown children working full time in our own business. I used to also do a lot of voluntary work. I am an ex secondary school teacher. I have been overweight for the past ten years and have reached a stage in my life where I don't want to put up with it anymore. I have been so busy being wife, mother, boss, helper that I seem to have lost myself. Coping with one crisis after another without complaining but always turning to food for comfort. I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future. Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me. It is time to feed my soul not my body.

WEIGH IN AND SPRING HAS BEGUN

Went and weighed in this morning and lost 1.1. So I now weigh 75.1 and have lost a total of 17.5.
Gave myself a good talking to on Thursday. Spring had arrived. It is time to get serious about this again and make some new goals. I hav efinished the Walking Challenge, well before the cut off date so that was good but otherwise have been a bit to lazy. I have missed more training sessions than I have attended for the last 6 weeks and now don't want to get up at 5am to go. Just feel really tired all the time.
But, the sun is now shining....so my September Challenge is to exercise every day. I am going to mark it off each day on a calender and report here each Saturday.
Sept 1st Thursday, walk 30min.
Sept 2nd Friday, weight training (before the sun was up) 45 min, then 30 min
at home with fitball and weights. (very sore today)
Sept 3 Saturday, 30 min walk/jog lightpoles, (thanks Jodie) half kickboxing DVd,
30 min walk at my sons house later today.

One of my goals passed without me noticing. I am over halfway.
-If I lose 1 more kg I will be at my lightest in 3 1/2 years.
-1 kg more lost and I will be at my lightest in about 10 years. So they will be my immediate goals.
-Following this I will need to lose .5 to have lost 20kg. If I reach that I am going to go to N.Z for a holiday with Dh and Dd and then I am going to go to Sydney to visit Briony. Now come on Bri you need to get to 20 kg this year as well.

The choice is ours, we can live a life that is full of hope and optimism and feeling good about our achievments or we can wallow in self pity and just wish things would get better. I choose to live with hope and optimism. I cannot eat my problems away. They just seem bigger when I do. Instead I will tackle them with exercise and attitude. Watch them shrink away. So starting with Sept this is me the "positive Michelle." The old, pessimistic, tired, lethargic, wish I was thin Michelle has left the building.
