on the bright side of life!
Okay, so I have a really bad day, and a not so great week, and I could let it get me down... But I am not going to let it. Seriously, today I hit rock bottom, but when I hit the bottom and heard the thud, I decided I didn't like the bottom (its not much fun) so I am just going positive.
Just this "looking positive" thing is a huge positive! The old me wouldn't have done that. The old me probably would have quit my job or binged on chocolate or something equally stupid. So that's a great thing!
I have been struggling to eat well with no count lately, mainly because I am not in control of the day to day food. That lack of control was bugging me, but instead of whinging and keeping on 'kind of' doing no count, I have actually dug out a tracker and tracked, yes the no count queen has been TRACKING a solid 19 points per day, aren't I good? For the record, I lost half my weight on points, but could NEVER see myself doing it forever, and was a terrible tracker anyway, I think it was mostly exercise that got me through, but now I am being really good.
I am allowing myself some kind of treat (eg. lollipop, 85% dark choc square, scone) every day, so that I love to eat still, and don't surcumb to any unplanned splurges.
I have been open with my feelings, instead of bottling them up. This is a good thing.
I have been going to the gym. In fact, I increased my weights in body pump and really challenged myself.
I have a loving husband, wonderful friends, and many dear and caring online readers. Thankyou for reading, commenting and caring. A special thankyou to Kristy and Alicia, for the beautiful messages on your blogs, and for actually coming back and leaving 2 messages, I felt so special when I saw that! thankyou! mwah!
I think that will do for today! I will try and write more tomorrow or something... I have missed blogging and emailing etc, so expect more of it! :)
