Tuesday 11th September - A New Week

Well the day itself is beautiful. I am not sure how I feel...daunted by the fact that I have another hard week ahead (as I am committed to continue this 2 meals as Slimfast until next Monday) but also positive that I have completed one week and another week will be no harder and will achieve good results. However then I feel down as there is such a long way to go. It is swings and roundabouts all the time. I must just make sure that I do not give in whether I am on a low or a high.

It is now only 3 months to Christmas and I would love to be able to have a couple of days off to enjoy the Christmas festivities. I will only do that if in 3 months time I can report on here that I have lost a total of minimum 2stone (28lbs). I might even be brave a post a picture once I am 2 stone lighter, who knows!

This morning I sat in bed and thought about my family and how lucky I am. I also thought about how much I need my health to be able to look after them and to enjoy life with them. I have been married for 7 years (second time round) and I have 2 grown up boys, they are 23 and 21. I also have a toddler who is nearly two and a half. I am very close to 50 years old and as I said in an earlier post I am currently morbidly obese. As you imagine this can restrict what I can do with him and for him. Although my weight loss is definitely for me I know if I can stick to it my husband and my young son (and maybe in a few years my grand children) will all benefit from the fit, healthy and active mother/wife.

I will go now and get on with my work but hopefully address the day positively and successfully again................
