Hi folks,
It has been just over a month since I
posted last. Life has been kind of busy of late so this blog has been a little
neglected!
Since my last posting I have created my Facebook
page 2lbs down, I'm losing it and I have gotten some amazing feedback, and I am
very flattered and chuffed with all the support I have received. I also
got a little negativity but hey that was to be expected as well and as I have
said from the beginning what I am doing and how I am losing it is the right way
for me, it doesn't mean it’s the right or wrong way for other people.
My weight has kind of plateaued recently
down to a number of things firstly I am not putting 100% effort into my diet
and secondly I am certainly not putting 100% in to my exercise, So I have
fallen off the wagon slightly! I have lost 2lbs put back up 1lb etc
In the past when I fell off the wagon I
didn't try and climb back aboard, however after a couple of false starts I am
back in the driving seat. Three months in I am down 18lbs. The magic of 2
stone is within touching distance! I have decided 10lbs - 2lbs a week -
that is pretty achievable I THINK!
So being back on the wagon for me means
the 3 W's
WATER - I have become a bathroom
stalker (possibly TMI) but whilst its a nuisance I think of the positives...the
extra steps :-)
WRITING IT DOWN - I use my fitness pal app
and it helps me track what I eat, if I don't have time to write it down I take
a picture of it so that later when I am inputting my food for the day I can go
back and see what I ate, I used to think if I can't remember eating it then I
mustn't have lol
WALKING - So 3 months ago I hated walking,
in fact one of my neighbours & I used to joke if they saw me walking my car
was broken down. I have let my walking slip a little over the past two
weeks but I started back Monday morning and I decided to introduce a little bit
of running so this W has turned from Walking to Wogging!! Do I like it, not
particularly but do I feel it makes a difference - hugely! I am pushing myself
harder and hopefully it will pay off! Very standard simple thing
running/jogging for 1 minute walking for 2!
So falling off the wagon doesn't mean the
journey is over, we wouldn't be human if we didn't have our slips, trips and
falls. The important thing is knowing that you can get back up and just
start again where you fell off.
I am going to sign off with
something I read today
"You didn't gain it in a week.
You won't lose it that fast either"
