Feeling optimistic. I write a journal everyday to assist in my weight loss & fitness efforts where I write what I have eaten, any exercise, fruit & veg, track my water intake & generally how I am feeling. My enthusiasm & positivity vary from day to day so I have decided to rate out of five how positive I am feeling (that I can reach a 'more healthy weight'.) Today it is 4/5 - I can do this, I will get there, the mountain is easily surmountable. Some days my feelings tell a very different story, I am doomed to failure, this weight will stay with me forever, I will just get fatter, I will never be fit again- these are all thoughts that regularly go through my help & knock my confidence.
This first week is going well so far, enjoying the healthy food, coped well with challenges yesterday of being out much longer than planned, actually got round to doing some exercise today. All good & promising. I will continue to take one day at a time.
I intend to list my reasons for this journey, when I have more than a few minutes to spare, but for now I will set my goals:-
1. To drop a dress size by the time I need to buy summer clothes
2. To maintain that size
3. To run race for life without stopping.
Anyway, enough for now, cheerio
