Programme done twice, but have been experiencing a wobble!
I blogged on Sunday and then proceeded to loose it all - I don't know what I clicked !
I have been doing well, so I will pat myself on the back.But......
The weekend of my son's birthday I did eat chocolate fudge cake on Saturday and Sunday, silly me! Guess what? That set off my IBS again, which has been pretty calm of late!
So yep my body told me loud and clear - do not eat cake, especially chocolate cake, besides which I was awake most of Sunday night - until after 4am, so Monday was rather a washout. We did cycle on Saturday and Sunday which was great and so enjoyable to be out in the fresh country air!
I have let my home exercise slip partially; One reason is my middle daughter was home from uni for a few days to be around for her brother's birthday. I have to tell you it was lovely to have her home and to have another girl around the house! We did girlie things locally - I so enjoyed that!
Now the rest of children have left home;usually it is me, husband and Sam and Jake - so I am the only female around - the dynamics are so different.
Yesterday my tummy was upset so it was another quiet day and little activity and I also came to the end of the second 21 days!
Do any of you know how to download the relaxation and transformation resource onto an mp3?
This is the tool I sorely need to use more to remind me why I have committed to the change to a really healthy lifestyle.
I think some new hardwiring has taken place: -
1) Drinking far more water. 8
2) Only eating when hungry (a majority of the time - the cake slices were the exception) . 9/10
3) I achieve great success stopping when I am full.9/10
4) Eating natural foods. 8/9
5) Walking for 30 minutes a day. 4
6) Regular exercise and activity (because of this week). 7/8 usually 9
7) Being as active as possible. 9
8) Reducing Sugar and Stimulants - well honestly at the moment. 7/8
9) Eating snacks and meals slowly. 7/8
There seems to be a pattern in my wobble - well that is stopping for me today. I think I was frustrated too that my weightloss stopped and plateaued for more than a week. I have now lost another two pounds so yippee for that!
So concentration is needed to relax and transform into the slim me, think and visualize myself as a healthy , fit and toned woman of infinite potential for a great life now and in the future.
Concentration on the positive things I do have; Lovely, caring husband, great kids and the lovely finale of my two last boys who we had after we lost a baby son Joshua, (gone but never forgotten) I have had a great 14 and 11 years with them and they are one of my raison d'etres. I am so truly blessed with my family.
I think loneliness is one of my problems becasue we have had such a house full of people for so long and we had to move towns too!. I am aiming to do my swimming and pilates so that I meet and get to know other people. I met two acquaintances when I first went swimming and I am sure I will get to know the people in the pilates class.
Concentrate on eating slowly - this one is an easy one to forget!
Concentrate on trying to get that walking much more up there as a habit too!
Well rather a monlogue - I am going to skip onto the exercsie bike and cross trainer now and get those endorphins bubbling around my system again and get me back to the new healthy me that I am becoming!
