Sssshhhh .... it's very, very, quiet

Blogland must be going into hibernation to beat the winter chillies.  Brrrr.  It has been bloody cold.  Even my poor heat pump is struggling. 

So I found this on Heather's blog the other day. 


There are some good points to note on this list. 

This is my report.

1.  Poor preparation.    No - I'm prepared. 

2.  Not drinking enough H2O.  Have to confess I don't drink that much - I have a love/hate  relationship with water.  Sometimes I love it, others I hate it.  Possible room for improvement.

3.  Not getting enough protein.  No - I'm getting my protein alright. 

4.  Consuming too many liquid calories.  I will not give up wine.  Life is for enjoying.  Conversation and good company flow over a vino.  It's a great way to unwind after a busy day.     However, I have more wine free days than before.

5.  Not getting enough zzzz's.  I don't sleep that well at night.  I wake two to three times a night.  I am putting it down to menopause.  When I wake I it's either because I'm too hot, got to go to the loo, or I'm itchy.

6.  Skipping Breakfast.  I have always found it hard to eat first thing in the morningI need to wake up properly.  I do eat as soon as I'm hungry though.  Normally between 9 and 10am. 

7.  Shopping the centre aisles.  Not anymore.  Goodness.  This is a post on it's own.  I'm such a convert.  I'M DEFINITELY AN OUTER AISLE GIRL. 
    
8.  Poor record keeping.  I have always been lousy at this.  Now I don't think even about it because don't need to.  I'm not on a diet.

9.  Not lifting weights.  Pass.  Not me at all.

10.Giving up.  This blog and the one before has been a testament to the ups and downs I've had over the years with my weight.  If I had of given up and not kept coming back and trying  I'd be carrying an awful lot more excess weight.  Never give up.

Through blogging I have found a way that has helped me find a better and healthier way to live.   
The benefits have been weightloss and better health.  The ongoing benefits have been a rise in self esteem, pride and confidence.  Now doesn't that make a much happier place to be at. 

Catch you soon.

Ciao

  1. The centre aisle thing is a big revelation to me! And then there's the water issue, yeah, I'm bad with water too. Better go and have a glass of water...or sparkling water even :)

  2. Sorry to hear that about Colin, first of get him on Vitamin C tablets 500mgs twice a day. As they have got onto it in the first 6 months he has got a high chance of it going into remission, with the right treatment. If you have nay questions ask away :).
