So im back, again. Its incredibly hard to get back into the swing of things, both eating and exercising wise. This week I am aiming to get my eating under control (i failed to yesterday, but today is a new day and im sure its 100% possible) and just go to training 3 times a week. If i can manage to do that then next week i might throw in some gym trips, maybe even do some classes on the weekend since i have some free vouchers for my gym to use up before the end of january. I only regained a couple of kilos over the Christmas period, but its becoming incredibly dismaying not to see them move at all (except for upwards!). Im going to try sterlings trick of weighing in every day and using the site in her blog. Maybe i will be more put off evening snacking if i know that every day is weigh in day. I realise it may drive me nuts. But it might just give me a bit of a kick start. Plus i will be able to see movement a lot more- i think part of it now is that i am feeling a tad frustrated and impatient
The other day i was having a “fat day”. Im sure everyone knows what i mean, when you have no physical change but you just feel like you’re freaking enourmous. I didnt really think that this affected my behaviour much, but i went shopping with a friend and picked out a size 14 dress (these are NZ/Aus sizes i believe, i have no idea what the US equivalent is). The shop assistant looked at me, looked at the dress and said “Size 14? Size 12″ and swapped. And it fitted fine (even if it did look hideous in the end). So apparently having these mentalities does change our behaviour on those days, which is something that hadnt really crossed my mind. I also discovered that I assume people see me the way that i see me-if im having a fat day and see myself as being fat, then of course everyone else does too. Apparently not. Which is somewhat comforting, even if this may have people going “What the hell is she on about? of course thinking you are fat doesnt actually make you look fat to other people!” Well, phooy to you

How’s your week going? It IS hard to get back on track, harder than initially starting, I think. Probably because there isn’t that typical burst of energy/excitement when you do something new. You’re already quite familiar with your healthy lifestyle.
Eh, on daily weigh ins, you’re a statistician type person, you know how to take data and use it! You’ll have such a lovely graph too! Don’t let the daily weigh ins rock your world in a bad way, you have too much common sense for that. I mean it.
People cannot sue you for using their photos if you aren’t using them for profit. Giving credit is lovely, I never do that, I should - seeing as how that’s my livelihood! oops.
