IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME
Had a good day yesterday. Started the day right with a 30 minute walk around the block at 6am. Definitely had to talk myself into it but felt good when it was done. Played tennis and was absolutely thrashed but enjoyed the exercsie and the sunshine and lots of laughter. Then did some work and squeezed in a 60 min walk in the late afternoon before picking up DD from work. Rushed to WW and talked to the leader. Now this leader is excellent but I have been unable to go to her metings since early last year. I have just been weighing in and leaving before the meetings on another day where the leader is very uninspirational. I actually went up to this leader last night and said "help" We had a quick talk. She remembered that I do lots of exercise and asked me what has changed? I admitted that the stresses of life are the same but holidays, special occassions etc contributed to my gain. Also that I am not as desperate anymore to lose weight because I feel better about my body. She said I had become complacent and that is common. Amazingly she also remembered that I do not eat enough until I then break out and told me to eat more each day on the "good" days so I don't snap on the "bad" days. I promised to go and stay for the meeting next week as I couldn't stay last night.
I have given this a lot of thought. I may be happier with my body now than a year ago but I do not want to gain it back and I do want to lose much more. So as the title says it is up to me. I have to stop using excuses and do what needs to be done.
So back to basics it is and that goes for food, exercise and most importantly attitude!!!!
I also owe an apology to my "friends" who emailed me last week offering support. I haven't replied because my head was in a bad place and time on the computer was very limited. Thankyou though it really did help snap me out of my doldrums.
