Day 4
I have been on the move a bit today - did an hour of exercise and felt much better afterwards. Looking forward to the week ahead. I am still not quite used to the early morning start after lots of lovely holiday lie-ins, but I have met all my classes and they are lovely, and I'm looking forward to working with them over the next ten months, catching up with colleagues is great and both boys are settled back in school although a bit tired.
I saw an article in the Daily Mail about a friend who had a gastric bypass and lost 5 stone this last year. I met her at Easter and was soooo impressed by how fab she looked, but her description of the operation and her post-operative diet was one of the major incentives that got me losing weight this time. We were exactly the same weight. It has taken me five months to lose 15k - it only took her 6 weeks, but then she was eating nothing but clear soup and yoghurt for most of that time.
Meeting her was a real wake-up call. we are about the same build and height, and I knew that I was in a situation where I could get the cost of the surgery covered if I really pushed for it - and chest pains and breathlessness were beginning to frighten me. But I was even more frightened by the idea of surgery and just soooooo icked out by the side effect of Alli that I couldn't use either of those quick fix routes.
So I revived my Pete Cohen membership, and also went for a calorie counting website which also measures exercise calories. I do feel it is really working. I really believe I can reach my target weight next year if I c arry on as I am, and I also understand that I will always have to watch what I eat and make sure it is healthy, I will always have to exercise and I will always have to take an active part in managing my weight and diet. I think the biggest thing that petecohen.tv has done for me is really help me get my head around taking responsibility for what I eat.
Seeing the article reminded me about my goals and has renewed my focus - what a great way to go into the autumn!
all the best to you
