Ding ding... end of round two
I've just completed the programme for the second time
My mind wandered several times during this round, I was away for a few days, I missed a few videos and didn't always record my tools. I also didn't consistently exercise as much as I did first time round.
So I could easily give myself a hard time...but instead I will give myself a pat on the back, because I am still obviously doing some things very well, as I have continued to lose weight (and not just becaue of the tummy bug!). To be honest, I can't say how much I have lost this time around, as I am now not so driven by the scales. Let's just say I can now get into clothes I haven't worn for several years, and I will soon weigh less than taller skinnier hubby, which is my first major goal!
Some things have beome second nature now, and they are;
eating slowly (though could still ,and will, improve on that)
eating smaller portions
eating natural foods
not eating sugary foods
eating only when hungry
drinking water
being more active (though again, room for improvement)
I am feeling great, though there is still room for improvement on the health front:
My back pain is much improved (largely due to a mixture of accupuncture and carrying around over a stone less weight)
My knees are improved, though still give me some pain in aqua classes , and going up and down stairs or hills (i could walk for miles on the flat!)
The artiritis in my knuckles is still a nuisance, and will I fear stop me kayaking this spring unless I can acheive an improvement
I have heard that diet can help arthritis...do any of you fab bloggers have any experience or suggestions?
Anyway, enough for now, I must go and get ready for my action packed day.
it's largely about me: Yoga, accupuncture, leg and bikini waxing (ouch), visit to mum, and then finally a trip to the theatre.
I have paused the programme now, as we jet off to Jordan for two weeks this wednesday. That will be a good test of how I cope on my own. I know I will do Ok, but I suspect I will benefit from repeating the programme again when I get back
have a good day everyone
Well done, to continue loosing weight is great, plus the fact that you are not addicted to the scales and can give yourself credit.
Hope I do as well as you in my second cycle!!

Not only have your scored lots of point by getting the PCTV ball through the HOOP but know you are going to Jordan.
You wouldn't know that I am a huge fan of Michael JORDAN would you? (I know you know)
I am sooooooo impressed with your efforts. You ROCK
Would you like to be a case study for PCTV
Take care

Kayaking, yoga, aqua classes - great stuff!
