Kicking the Doldrums Ass

Kicking the Doldrums Ass

So, I have lost over 28lbs, I have roughly 30-35lbs left to shift, and I have had a bit of a meander of late – not going back up to speak of, but not going back down either…….stalemate of the weight loss variety!

First things first, my chosen path to slimmitude is Slimming World Extra Easy plan – I do go to a fab group every week, and I know all the right things to do, and even though in essence it is a dream of a plan to follow, and, I have seen the success it brings when you stay within the lines, I still have taken an unscheduled break.

So this week I have done some things I hope re focus my desires – to be slim and healthy:

-I stayed to group even though I felt a fraud for not having been on plan all week.

-I climbed Snowden with my friend and enjoyed the fresh air, pain and exercise. (Given a year ago I would have struggled to walk the first 100 metres of path I am happy. This year I have completed the couch to 5k and now run 2-3 days a week, and do Zumba on Sundays, so my fitness is definitely on the rise)

-I have shopped slimming world friendly and created a menu for my week.

-I had a stern conversation with myself about not feeling sorry for myself when I am only getting the results I deserve for not doing the damn plan!

-I am creating this - a public blog, to be honest not just with myself but with the very lovely lot of you, maybe this will help my focus – documenting the ups and downs, thank you for reading them.

And here I am, on Snowden J, yes, that’s real cloud in the background, how exciting is that -

Today so far so good, breakfast was bear fruit nibbles (strawberries and cherries – yum), a banana, grapes and a plum.

Lunch Sweet potato frittata and salad, plus a yogurt.

Dinner veggie sausages with SW chips, parsnips, carrots and peas. Followed by fruit and a yogurt.

A night night horlicks light to tuck me in..and an all good on plan day. Day one 100% on plan with no colouring outside the lines – roll on day two.

So, tomorrow brings a team meeting, which is always a danger point for me – lovely lunches on offer and usually a meal out – but I will stay on the right road and report back after – good luck to all fellow weight loss travelers, I’d love to hear how you are doing so do share any blog links with me J  Tomorrow I will remember to photograph my food….

Today I am proud that I resisted the cookies, sweets, chocs and cake that was on my desk on my customers site!! May the force remain with me tomorrow.
