Day 2 Tuesday 6 January 2009

Well I guess I can say the first day wasn’t a flook. Today’s been erm interesting.

Firstly I’m ready to go to the gym, look at the car, realise it’s frozen solid and know that if I defrost it I’ll only have 30mins exercise time. Decisions, decisions. I go anyway – so there’s a yes that was a no yesterday.

Water’s not a problem usually. A pint (and a coffee) before the gym. A point and a coffee after the gym. On the way to work there was an accident which delayed me somewhat. There was nearly an accident in my car. I was absolutely bursting for the loo when I got to work.

Our office is on 2 floors and downstairs had a powercut. As their work is more deadline driven than ours they came upstairs to use our PC’s and we were given the option of going home or sorting vouchers. Needless to say I came home.

I’ve managed to sort a lot of paperwork and do quite a lot of tidying which has left my mind somewhat decluttered so a very productive day all in all.

“The human body is the best picture of the human soul.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

“Today take some time to find a picture of something or someone that inspires you…..Whenever you need an extra dose of courage or determination you can look at the picture and inspire yourself to success!”

The most inspirational picture I have is of me completing the triathlon in Chirk last year. The feeling of euphoria I experienced crossing that line was something I will never be able to put into words. I worked for it. I did it. I didn’t give up. How much better am I going to feel when I lose all this weight?


Today’s Success Checklist
1. I ate when I was hungry YES I was really hungry after picking the kids up from school and had an absolutely delicious full fat cup a soup!
2. I ate what I really wanted YES Absolute heaven
3.I ate consciously YES Slowly and chewed properly – mash is not the easiest thing to chew!
4. I stopped when full YES Tried smaller portions and I was full
5. I drank water YES
6.I moved my body YES 30mins static bike in the gym
7.I listened to the CD NO time!
8.I did the Mirror exercise YES takes very little time. Rather a strange experience
9.I did NOT drink alcohol YES Easy

One Positive Thing I Noticed Today….
I could very easily have not gone to the gym. I went and felt the benefit.

What I’m Looking Forward To Tomorrow…
Tomorrow – everything about it.
