Note to self ...."do it now"!

Wow it is Thursday already....... this week has flown for me, as I have been frantically busy with work. Actually the truth is I have procrastinated over the last few weeks and now it has caught up with me. I have some major deliverable for a couple of clients in the next few days and I had not even started the work until Tuesday.

The good news is I have a least one under control and the back broken on the other. However I always say this - "next time I will plan and not leave things to the last minute", as this causes a lot of stress and you know what stress does for me. Yes! that is right eat.

I am happy to say that this week, as I am a born again week 1 WW I have avoided the junk food and snacks (I love sweet things). It has been really hard at times, but I have survived. Quiet amazing as this is day 4 and all this year I have not been able to get past day 2.

Also happy about my exercise - 1hr walk for 3 out of the 4 days! I am also a Walking with Attitude member, so the new challenge has me all revved up. Long may this last.

Have my tracker back in action (have not used it since I got to goal). ummmm that is an interesting thought. When I did WWs and got to my goal weight I tracked religiously. You see I have this terrible disease called "food amnesia" I forget what has gone in my mouth. Yeah right! Well, the point of all this is, I had actually forgotten that every little snack adds up. Yesterday I took a rough stab at what my points total for last weekend would have been.... over 35pts on both days (and I did not have my usual bad weekend). OMG it is no wonder I have piled the weight back on. So the tracker is here to stay! It was a really good tool and it keeps me honest.

Well must get back to work :)

One day at a time! - little steps

Well, I finally have my blog template sorted. So now I am accountable - it really is quite scary putting my thoughts on paper. However, I have been so inspired by reading others over the last 6 months that I have promised myself that I will update on a regular basis.

Day One - Had a good day! - 45minutes walking (on treadmill) as it has been such a cold snap at the moment and ate really well (1 pt under my 20pts). Eating well and exercising, even for just one day makes you feel so much better - if only I could hold this feeling. This morning I felt so much better - I think it is about being in control of my life!
I know I have read many times - it is not about how many times you fall down it is about how quickly you get back up.

I am such an "all or nothing" kind of person - this is something I really want to work on. What has inspired me about many of the Blogs I read, is how people just consistently push on - no matter now long it takes. As a LM of WW I found that it was not so much about getting the weight off - but keeping it off that was my biggest challenge. (I think that has something to do with my "all or nothing" attitude). This time in my journey I have to learn to lead a healthy lifestyle as part of reducing my weight, so that when I get to goal I will be able to handle life and what it serves up to me.
