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

My family is going to go to the dollar theater this evening since we have been struggling financially for the last several months but aren't struggling as much now.

Wow hun, very well done! I was thinking of going to slimming world just to shed a few pounds. We can have whatever you fancy for lunch. Tea will be something local - Scouce (lobscouce). I do it a little different to bring those calories down - I replace the heavy potato with sweet potato and it's yum! You can have as much or as little as you like and I only have 2 bottles of wine in the house so we won't go far wrong! :whistling:

So looking forward to your visit!:D

I got my hair cut and colored(highlighted) on Monday. It turns out it had been 14 months since I cut my hair or been in a salon. It felt good. I didn't feel bad that I was treating myself, which is what I felt the last time I was there. I even made another appointment to get my hair cut in six weeks. You know what? It felt good that I am taking care of myself. Got many positive comments on my hair, though it wasn't much. My hairs thin. But I never wear it down. I wore it down that night and then tuesday. That felt good too. I might just get use to taking care of myself!

Time for an update. I am still doing it for me, because I am worth it. I still attend the Slimming World meetings and next Wed I will have lost 3 stone (42lb) (19kg). I have dropped dress sizes. Ideally I would like to lose 4 stone for the beginning of Jan.

I have started going to the gym, not only for aqua aerobics but also for the scary weight machines, treadmill and cross trainer.

I have regular manicure and pedicure and have my hair coloured. I am worth these things and so are you.

Well done hun, I couldn't be more proud! I need to go swimming again, it's the only excersise I like! :inlove::tup:

We'll get you on that bike yet! :eek:

That's awesome! I wish I had your drive! Trying to get myself to get back to my walking. Something(me) keeps holding me down. You are amazing.

I have the same apathy with my walking @Britt.f7 :(

Lol CC, I now have a little fold up bike and I can sit on it and scoot along like a scooter. Pedalling is yet to come :roflmao:

You will get there Britt. I am not always on it and look for reasons not to exercise. I didn't go this morning and tomorrow doesn't look great either. Just small changes xx

Thanks KP! I also stopped coloring which I was doing daily. I hope it is not because I went off my abilify. Can't afford it. I'm going to keep watch.
