Day 8
Stress piling on this week, and I resorted to chocolate this afternoon (70% and only 20g, but still...). At short notice, we've got houseguests, I'm trying to sort out the final logistics of a trip for 60 students to Stratford next week (visas needed for non-EU nationals, plus official Belgian stamps to confirm that they are resident, plus sorting out final payments...argh!) and then there's just the day to day shock to the system of getting back into the school routine, plus husband was away for three days last week and is away for three days next week, just before I head off. It's all a little bit too much!
Still, am doing very well with exercise at the moment, and overall, I am feeling very lucky - my new classes are really nice, it's lovely to catch up with last year's students and it's also great catching up with colleagues.
I am trying to be really strict with myself about weigh-ins - I keep wanting to weigh myself every day, but I know it is counter-productive so I am really stepping away from the scales. I know it is how I feel inside that really counts.
Did you ever listen to Pete`s podcast about how when he was small he saw his mum regularly hop on the scales and her mood would completely change depending on the results? He used to go on them waiting for something to happen although he didn`t know what. Lol.
I used to think of that every time I was tempted to weigh in..
Keep smiling
