I'm back in the saddle again. No weigh in this week, all the WW meetings in this area are closed for the holidays. I stood on my scales around weigh-in time yesterday afternoon and the news was not good.
It's also TTOM (guess what I got for Christmas...) and a fair chunk of the weight will be water. But the rest of it will be turkey, Christmas pudding, custard and all the other treats I inhaled over the past week.
But I'm back on track as of yesterday. I'm tracking my points again. I'm exercising daily again, and I'm boosting my walks to an hour a day, since I'm off work until the 4th. I'm making sure that I get all my water again. I'm eating the right mix of foods again.
The kitchen has been emptied of leftovers, treats and whatever other Christmas food was lurking around in there. Hell, I even threw out mince pies, which for me is a revelation. OK, so they weren't great mince pies, but still, it's a big step for me!
It's been hard. My body and mind have been partying hearty for a week and they don't really want to go back to healthy living again. I don't know when good eating and exercise becomes so habitual that you stop thinking about it, but I really hope it's soon. If that could kick around about the same time as the improved body image, I'll be a very happy rabbit.
But every time I think about falling off the wagon again, I just remember how miserable it was to be over 100kg and how far I've come. It seems to be working.
This last week of 2004 is my chance to make the first week of 2005 a great start to the rest of my journey.
I don't think you EVER have eating healthily become habitual. We have learnt the secret ( some better than others). We know what we can eat and when. No food is terrible and satan bourne product, it is just to be exercised for and prepared for to be enjoyed! Here's to the 5km run and ten days of carrot soup I will divulge at the end of 2004 to eat a tim tam or two in 2005! Here's cheers big ears! ps - I FINALLY added you to my journal links, bout bloody time!
I sort of agree with Airlie, (but not quite). Eating healthily HAS become habitual for you, because you've had a lovely time scarfing down the seasonal treats, and now you're back on track already! (Throwing out mince pies! Come over to my place and do it for me please?)I certainly agree with Beckie, look at your goals already achieved. I know you'll keep going from goal to goal until that leather jacket is gleaming sexily on your shoulders in 2005 - so Happy New Year :-)
Tree,
Sorry to double dip, but I HAD to leave my best wishes for an incredible New Years.
I hope you and that gorgeous yank have the best one that you possbily (legally) can. I can't wait to see you in the New Year.
Thanks for your devine friendship, it means the world to me.
I love and support ya on any journey you choose to take.
*smooches and glitter*
Beckie
Well done on being back on track so soon :)
Your gonna kick ass in 2005 :)
Cheers P
Hey gorgeous. Did you notice that 'your' lingerie is currently 25% off at Myer, in the Stocktake Sale? It's a sign, baby - go forth and buy!
I think you did marvellously over Christmas and you've got the right mindset to leap into 2005 and kick some serious arse. Go you!
Hope you have a fantastic night celebrating New Year's, here's to a Happy, Healthy 2005!
And thanks for your constant support and enlightenment over the year. I really value it. *MWAH*
oops - with all my rambling i forgot the happy new year bit!
Happy New Year Miss Tree! Wishing you all the best for a fabulous 2005. And thank you for your journal entries - you have such a way with words, I always have a smile on my face after reading :)
Well. I think you've done rather well over the Chrissy break.
You also sound calm and relaxed and stable in the knowledge that you are ready to 'fuck this chicken' and get back on the bandwagon. (What kinda band is it - Im a bit of a groupie and...)
Digression. Look to the right and have a look how many goals you have put a strike through. That's determination, strength and hard work that got you there. I can't wait to be there when you walk accross that finish line. A glorious day it shall be. Can you imagine? Weeeeeee !!!
