Hello all! New-thread-bies too!
Ah complacency.
Maybe I have a bit of that too. On my "free days"
I used to think I'd been good all week, so whatever I liked was mine! And it usually was! Ick! I gave free days up for lent and I've only managed one so far, which was just a bit of a slip-up really since I was tired and stressed and travelling
I haven't read Mrs Jim's post yet (it's open waiting for me to reconnect
dial-up!) but I will do. She usually gives great insight!
Now I'm going to contradict you all here, so feel free to get the
out on me!
I'm finding that a little complacency in the week goes a long way to staving off a "free day". On Monday I ate a cookie AND a chocolate bar
, on Wednesday I had half a pepperoni pizza and today... I haven't binged.
I even resisted a caramel slice (there is always tomorrow to eat that!) that I bought because I was tired! So I think that perhaps an all or nothing approach, for me, is not working. Especially when I'm quite active and some things are getting slightly stressy
(weddings). But on the whole it's all good.
I still haven't been on the scales yet. I'm still determined to leave them in the cupboard. Even though those inches showed up in the dresses last weekend, they haven't shown up on the tape measure
WHO CARES? I know it's going to take a while now, and I know I'm in for the long haul, so whether I'm going to be a size 10 for my wedding or a size 10 in 5 years time... I will get there, because now there is no going back. There is no urgency because now I am healthy and I am active and training as hard as I can. I'm never going back up, so the only way is down!
Oh and my arms are looking bigger
in a good way
Saying that, I'm off to lift some weights, you gals have motivated me!
