Activity and Accountability

On the online slimming club I belong to, one of the members was talking about "activity and accountability" and I thought it was a great idea, so I haven't long finished a 30 minute aerobic video by Rosemary Conley.

I would like to be 9 stone 3lb for my 30th Wedding Anniversary at the beginning of November, but I haven't been eating properly (that's code for I've been eating junk like crisps (potato chips etc).

If only I could get down to that weight and keep it off - that would be amazing! 

OK onward and downward!

Hope whoever is reading this is having a great week so far

Off the starting blocks

Do you have blocks preventing you from losing weight? I have quite a few.

1. Apathy - I don't sleep well so I find it very easy to be apathetic. This really requires a lot of effort for me to get off this starting block! I need a massive push of willpower. 🏁

2. Procrastination - well if there was a degree in this I'd be a professor but probably not until tomorrow 😉. I have said for years, "never say you're going to start tomorrow because tomorrow never comes. Always give the day you're going to start." Well that's good, but in my 💓 I procrastinate. I definitely need a 🚀 to get me off this starting block! 🏁

3. Fear (the "what if?" Syndrome - oh yes, this biggy)! What if I fail? What if... What if... What if... If I don't get off this block then I've failed already! 🏁

To win a race we have to get off the starting blocks. 🏃 Can you imagine if a sprinter was on the blocks then said "you know what I can't be bothered!" Or "it's ok I'll do it tomorrow!" Or "what if I don't win?" 

I really really do need to get off the starting blocks and get motivated to do something about my weight gain! 

Reader if you're struggling to get off the starting blocks, take heart you're not alone, but we won't win this race if we stay on the blocks, we need to get off them, get rid of the excuses and...On your marks get 

GO!! 🏁🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽🏃🏿
