Afternoon all - so many posts to catch up on, wow. I'll get a read through everything tonight as I'm juggling the kids/wondering what to cook and housework right now.
It's my first weigh in tomorrow, nervous isn't even the word but I think I'll be happy enough even if it's only a lb loss. I have to keep reminding myself I've only just started out. My clothes definitely feel a little looser, but that could just be in my head.
I've had an excellent week (except for the Sat night where I drank a bit too much, though my saved syns should have covered that), really surprised myself with my will power this time. Something just feels different this time around, I can't quite explain it.
I've made a big decision, too. My boyfriend quit smoking a couple of days ago, and I've decided to join him. I was going to wait until I'd got to goal, but having thought about it I reckon I'm better doing it now alongside my new healthy eating/exercise/tons of water regime. If I get to goal, then quit, I'm more likely to think, 'Ah I'm slim now, I can afford to snack instead of smoke.' So, once I've finished this pack, that's it - I'm going to go nicotine free. At least we can suffer it together, lol, though my bf is compensating with a lot of junk. Let's see if my will power can keep up!
My inspiration is not only health, but money - my house needs a lot of work done to it, and I can easily afford to turn the place into my own wee palace if I can give up the dirty smokes. It'd just be so worth it and if I manage it, between that and my weight loss I'll feel on top of the world (after the withdrawal and crabbiness and probably being an absolute idiot to everyone in my path for a week or so).
I've done it before - with both of my pregnancies, I quit cold turkey as soon as I knew I was expecting, so I know it's totally possible. It just won't be easy.
Hope everyone's getting along well, like I said I'll catch up properly this evening when everything is quiet
