Hi babe, hope you're ok? I heartily approve of getting someone to hide the scales.... temptation to find them and jump on is taken away.... we gotta go for the easy options sometimes.... xxx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

aw, don't be disheartened, you know you can do it, it will just take it's own sweet time. you've done amazingly well so far, you're a new woman!
you can do it, we have faith in you!

Thanks babes. xx

Morning Linz, I'd hide the scales, they are no help at all love, you've done really well and you know it

Not sure I know it just yet but I'm getting there. x

Morning sweetie, how you feeling today? xxx

Yeah ok thanks miss. x

Thanks Miss Hope. xxx

Hey all...

Well I think a change of tack is needed, got some new clothes thru today after work & I'm in size 12 trousers & size 14 tops, I think what I need to focus on now is toning up rather than losing (OMG did I just say that??) I'm not going to hide the scales as I think I need them to stay on track & not let it creep back up again but now I need to work out some time (somehow) to exercise... I think getting up early to do Jillian is an option, not a very appealing one to set my alarm for 0545 but needs must & I really want to get back into a swimming routine.... have found a new swimsuit that I can train in, have dug out my old training equipment & am gogin to get some aqua mits to build my upper body strength!

So thats it I've said it!! I'm going to look at keeping my carbs below 70g per day my cals around the 1500-1800 mark & see how I get on!!

Kind of excited (thanks to you guys) that this is my new path that I need to take & that maybe my body is where it should be at?? Although I hope it decides my tummy should get smaller!!

Thank you as always for your love & support... without you guys I know I wouldn't be here!!

LOVE YOU!!!! xx

Yay, I really think its the right road. As I said, sometimes the ole bod needs a shakeup other than food!!

[ditzeeblonde]

Thanks hun... lets hope it works. x

 

[Kat1e]

That sounds really great Linzi
I'm sure it will all tighten up nicely and in the meantime you get all those endorphins
Off to zumba now.....!

 

[HopeSprings]

Awwww I'm really pleased to hear you're all motivated again I was just suggesting weighing once a week from now on, whaddya think? xxx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Ooooh that does make me nervous Hope, think it does keep me on track as I reign it in if the scales hop up a bit & I am totally & utterly terrified of it piling on again...

I'll make you a promise tho that if it affects me like it did the other day I will hide the scales but hopefully now I'm trying to look at toning up rather than losing it might not worry me so much?

Whats your thinking lovely one?

 

[HopeSprings]

My thinking is..... when you get toned up you build your muscles up and although the mirror says you look better the scales may not.. I'm afraid that if you weigh yourself too often you'll get disheartened and stop the exercise.

My theory is that we never diet because of what we weigh.... we diet because of how we look. The scales are a method of gauging our progress on a weekly basis because the mirror takes longer to show the results.

I just don't like to think of you being upset cos you're far too lovely a person for that! xxxx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

OK Miss... hiding the scales! What day do you weigh in? x

 

[HopeSprings]

eeeeeekkkkkkk Tuesdays!!

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Ok so shall I then... I'll weigh in tomorrow & then again next Tues after a weekend of camping & red wine, my first test then!!

You know I wouldn't do this for anyone else!! xx

 

[HopeSprings]

Awww I'm VERY honoured!! After I've had my weigh in tomorrow I shall dutifully take my scales out into the garage so that I'm not tempted on them either.

We're in this together xxxx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Thanks miss... really appreciate it! I stupidly nicked some of Amalies pasta at dinner tonight as she didn't eat it all & am suffering tonight! Very bloated & achey tummy... annoyed with myself & I'm sure it will reflect on the scales tomorrow! x

 

[HopeSprings]

Ooohhhh I remember one of my many weight loss counsellors saying to me... don't treat your body like a dustbin or you'll end up the size of one!! Ouch! that told me to put left-overs straight into the bin....

That's not to say I've never strayed off the straight and narrow (in MORE ways than one)

I'm quite looking forward to a little nibble tomorrow xxx

 

[Eclipse]

All sounding very positive honey x x

You and your body have decided what's best for you x

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I know its the worst thing to do.... when I'm on the straight & narrow I'm amazed by how much food does go in the bin & not me!

Just goes to show what a poison carbs are... I'm struggling tonight & didn't have that much really!

Hae you decided what yr nibble is going to be?

It still bothers me to throw things away - i just try to do it quickly now - like a plaster, it hurts less
