A great post Janpes and good thinking to give yourself a little breathing space (from Firepit Friday) to give yourself time to adopt better habits.
That's a great list there and I can personally put a tick against each item as well (except the exercising every day... good for you). The one that surprised me the most I think, was how my sleeping improved. I wasn't expecting that.
Positive post Janpes and one that strikes a chord with most of us I should think. Not wanting to sound like Boris Johnson, but you are taking back control, and it'll feel really good so well done .
I too treated myself with a non-food reward when I shed my first stone and completed the C25K both within a few days of each other. I now am the proud new owner of an all singing and dancing telephonic device that keeps me in check and on track! It's been a godsend to count my calories on there...xx
Good luck janpes, looks like you're in the groove! Have a great weekend.
Thank you all. I really do feel like I am in the groove right now. I feel like the first time in years I have a purpose. I have been pretty depressed over the last few years due to some major issues at home that will be hopefully resolved in May when the court case is over.
This diet has somehow changed me for the better and brought me out of my shell.
Well done Janpes your doing fantastic, good thinking on the Friday pizza night just remember to watch the alcohol this week 😂😂 hope you have a wonderful weekend xx
Well done you, what a lovely read! I hope your pizza night went well last night. I used to worry about social occasions too, but over the weeks (Ive been going 4 months now) I have gradually become more confident in my ability to say no and stick to whatever plan I have decided on for the evening. It definitely gets easier, and as the total pounds you have lost creeps up and up, the less you want to derail everything you have achieved. Keep it up!
Wow! Janpes what a fabulous post. You really are making the lifestyle changes and seeing the benefits. Your determination and motivation are really clear and I reckon you are inspirational. Planning the pizza Friday is a real positive and recognising what you need to do for you so that this will work. Lessons there for all of us.
I'm at work. I do Saturday and Sundays looking after a lady with Dementia, in her home. She is a sweetie but she is reverting to her native language of "Greek". My Greek is rubbish!!
Family come and bring cakes, chocolate chip brioches and evening meals "take away Pitza"!! So far I've resisted this week. I take fruit but I'm not always as good 😇
I had to take a client with Autism to the cinema last night "Beauty and the Beast" it's a hard life!! Lol
Although I did calculate a hot dog and had it in my calories with a diet drink too. I'm hoping for 2lb off Monday we shall see.
Well done you for resisting the urge, one small step at a time.
I don't really eat sweet stuff, my crutch has always been salty stuff like sausage rolls, pizza, quiches etc.. Infact I have 2 bars of dark chocolate (no nuts) in the fridge unopened.
I take it you are a carer? take my hat off to you and thank you for looking after others. You guys don't get the credit you deserve these days.
Hehe will be sweating it out all weekend and will probably have a massive sauna before weigh in just to make sure I drop something
I have 2 sons. 1 in Nottingham and one lives with me😬
He has ADHD/Asperger but very slight so I'm very lucky. He works and has just got his HGV driving licence so I'm very proud of him.. I was a driving instructor for 32 years (10 years in London and 22 in Bucks) but apart from looking after my youngest (25) I've been caring for nearly 7 years. Usually adults with Learning Disabilities, non verbal and challenging behaviour. I work for myself now through an Agency. So much better 1-1 and I love it. Well I'll get off my soap box now. Sorry I do go on ( ADHD) !! Lol 😂🤗
Wow so much stress. I would be consistently eating. You poor thing. You sound like you have such a lot of sadness to deal with. Good luck with the court case for your daughter. That is a terrible thing she is going threw. Glad she has a great mum to support her.
Glad you have a bubbly daughter too. She obviously keeps your spirits up👍
I do hope you get to go over to see your eldest it will be a lovely surprise if you loose a little bit of weight along the way. Hope you get your job case sorted out too. First I thought all that time at home was hard for you but then I thought you've got more time to be with your daughter to help her and be with her. Some things happen for a reason and we don't always see why at the time. I'm a great believer in fate. Big hug to you and I'm glad we are "diet buddies" on the same weeks and weigh in days
Great Jan well done me on the other hand drank a bottle of cava but I had not drank all week but today feel like I e got a hangover so I am not doing that again. Probably because I don't drink so often now my head tells me I can't. Let's see what happens on the scales Monday good luck Jan have a great weekend.
