I'm Doing This For Me, Because I'm Worth It

Ooops. I thought it was time I revisited this thread. I sort of fell off the wagon. It was easy to fall in to the drinking wine every night again. So I must pick myself up, dust myself down, and start all over again - there is a song there:eek:.

So the good news. Although I haven't lost any weight - I haven't put any on. This is because I am still walking the dogs 3 - 4 times a week at least. This has made me feel fitter and has helped with stress. It is impossible not to laugh at the antics the dogs get up to when they play.

This week, I have avoided alcohol during the week, second week. Last Friday night I did drink too much but on Saturday, I refused to beat myself up over it. I acknowledged it and put it behind me. The rest of the weekend was better.

I have also been eating healthier. I have been baking, but IMHO home made is better than shop bought and I only eat a little as a treat once a day with coffee.

So, I begin again - wish me luck.

Well done for having the courage to start again KP. I must admit that I have been thinking of this thread lately as I HAVE put on weight LOL!:rolleyes:

I want to do some walking but I'm just to poorly and get out of breath just going up the stairs or getting dressed. So, with no guilt, it is on the back burner for now until I get my strength back.

I am eating healthily though so at least that's something.

Well done for walking the hounds KP, or do they walk you? I bet they do! :D
 
Kp well done, dusting yourself off and starting again takes some doing. I am trying to get on the wagon of healthier eating struggling lose weight since been on antidepressants. I was good for about a week but have fallen off wagon with comfort eating so know how easy is to fall off, getting back on is main thing. You are worth it and you will get there KP as you have the right attitude. Its good you are feeling fitter that all helps.
 
It is going well at the moment. I have reduced portion sizes, cut down on alcohol and I'm eating far fewer treats. I haven't weighed myself - probably too depressing :rolleyes:. However I am feeling much happier and I have the energy to leave my comfort zone.

I wrote in my journal that the only person stopping me is me.

No matter how slow you go.webp
 
I am trying to lose weight I gained by quitting smoking. I have cut way down on the cookies and the candy. I am doing good on not smoking, I think I am going to do this now for good.:cool:

I am going out and treating myself today, getting a mani/pedi. I have not done this in a very long time.:cool:
