Day 81

Well today was a very emotional and stressful day. Connie my beautiful arab horse moved homes today. She was so good on the ride over, took her to her new field and she was desperatly trying to get out. Had to move her to another one which was more enclosed. I am hoping that when she goes in with some other horses she will settle. I've been up a number of times both today and tonight to check her.

So did my usual mucking out of Charlie, hoping that helps to shift some extra pounds this week again. Then went shopping with my lovely daughter to the riding shop for some goodies. She wasnt impressed that our trip out didnt consist of a visit to the golden arches! LOL.

Popped into see my sister and the boys, bumped into her bubby dont see him to often as he is always working. She text me after to say he thought I looked great. I told her to tell him off for checking my butt out lol I love teasing him he is so easy to wind up.

Didnt end up riding today as someone was interested in the horse before I asked so she is riding him tomorrow to see if she likes him. It turns out that there is a choice of 3 who are all waiting on yes or no's and they should find out this week, so hopefully soon I can get to try at least one of them to see if its suitable.

I have had a really difficult day from a food perspective, I am just craving anything at the moment. I think its just that I am getting bored with nthe routine of the shakes and bars. I am fighting hard to ignore it and hope this is one battle I win. On saying that I am fairly sure that I woul;d not cheat, whats the point its me that loses out both financially and mentally! If I can hold out for 81 days then there is no reason that another couple of months is going to kill me!

Also bought a playsuit online today, went for a 12 as I am fairly confident that I will get into that size comfortably by my holiday in August.

Painted the garden furniture today, my havent I had a hectic day today lol. its no wonder I have only managed 3 litres of water again today!

I noticed today that my neighbour was having a BBQ, omg the smells were amazing. The trouble is they have one ever weekend its nice, so this is going to be a tough time over the next couple of months. Arghhhhh!!! Why are there so many testing things in this life all relating to food! I just feel so unsatisfied at the moment and I am wondering if it is the lack of water!?!

Hope you have all had a good day xx

I hope your day improves in the craving respect! I think it's the smells and the not going for the usual routine of the 'golden arches' - so perhaps some of your daughter's dissatisfaction and 'breaking of tradition' rubbed off into the subconscious? And the BBQ's won't help, not so much for the smells, but for what they bring - family, happiness, socialising, those long summer evenings... I think you crave that more. Why not host a BBQ? It will be hard, but at least you get to experience the positives of it, the company. Makes it feel less lonely. And once you've done one BBQ without breaking LL, the next one will be easier!

Analytically, you are working very hard, doing extra exercise, but in a way, you are also writing it together with craving some food. On a psychological level you're slowly trying to justify a little extra, a nibble, because you've done extra work! Recognise this sign and don't even equate extra effort (mucking out) or walking with any kind of weight loss, calories burnt or anything! It's just normal.
When I go to the gym I never ever count it in as anything extra I've done. It just exists, as an activity just like sleeping, eating, reading etc. That way I never get into any swing of 'making up for it'! I've read plenty of stories of women who go to the gym and think they deserve an extra treat in the evening because of a workout! But, calories burnt on those machines are NOT in any way accurate (so they overeat it by a few hundred! :O ). I count it as 0. ZERO! That way there's nothing to 'make up' for.

Keep busy, have a relaxing bath, read a book. Drink some water. Have a lovely sunday! x

Hey min you talk so much sense. In the past when I have exercised I never factored the calories into allowing me extra food or treats, so I really hope my thinking hasn't changed on that score! I would be so annoyed with myself.

I have broke many traditions to date whilst being on LL each one comes with a real sense of satisfaction. The BBQ could be the next one maybe, I dud tell my Sid that we would have one when I can eat, having considered your words I think I might do something sooner it's my birthday in May I might have one then, great idea thanks!

Just chilling in the sun in my garden but it's suddenly decided to go hide behind the clouds lol typical. Hope you have a great day xx

Well what a deligtful way to spend a Sunday, sitting in the garden in the sun? Nooooooooo, catching up on your diary from start to finish. Really enjoyed it, the ups, the downs ... casino man, the special one, horses and beauty treatments galore! lol
Well done on what you have achieved, and the other ladies who have dropped in and posted on the way.

Onwards and downwards. x

 

[weebles]

BBQ's are my smack! I just need a whiff of someone having one lit and I literally float over leaving drool marks on the ground as I go.
Luckily not too many people in our area have one - PHEW.
You COULD make a chili burger and BBQ it...hehehehe, if you feel the need. But you need to like the LL chili first or it could be a problem.

Anyways, enjoy your day - hope the sun comes back out for ya.
I am now heading back outside
xx

Lol you are funny!!

I really don't faculty the chilli at all, I think the issue I have with the packs is that calling something the name of a food, eg chilli then in my head it had to have the same texture. I think that's why o have only really stuck with the shakes it's madness I know!?!

Sun defo didn't come back out doh!

Hope you had a good weekend xx

Hi Clara, thanks for dropping by my diary I appreciate it! I hope you are finding the plan easy enough to get on with!?!

Wow thanks for the reminder of what I have written about I probably needed it at the minute, think I am going to read back over it as I need some motivation at the minute. I don't want to cheat but I am definately had a heavy black cloud over me!

Anyway really hope this diet offers you what your looking for it's the best thing I have ever done and certainly starting to give me my life back. I look forward to reading how you get on my lovely xx

Day 82 (Sunday)

Arghhhhhh I chuffin hate Sundays it's the day where I think to much! Spent most of the day moping about and feeling sorry for myself and why!?! Well for a number of reasons, the diet, wanting food, wanting to feel wanted it's pathetic, why do I torture myself! I actually know what I need to do and for 6 days a week I do it on the 7th I become a miserable devil!! the fact that it's nearing the end of the TOTM doesn't help as I do often feel hungry around this time or at least I think I am hungry, the reality is that I can't be!

Didn't really do alot sorted Charlie out, checked Connie was ok in her new field then went off to buy a new parasol for the garden, got it home and the sun disappeared hmmmmm!

Spent the rest of the day with a heavy black cloud just above my head,I need to refocus and just consider how far I have come on this journey. By no means do I want to give up or cheat I just want to feel happy with my life, reality is I have a long way to go to find the happiness I once had and begin to wonder if second best is all o am worthy of only time will tell along with my thoughts being in alignment! I have been thinking about meditation, don't know where to start with it though! If anyone has some tips happy to hear what they are please.

Hope you all have a fab day, back at work for me today catch you all laters my lovelies xxx

Aww lady t!! What about going to see a life coach?? Yoga is great for the mind, and it tones you at the same time.
Why dont you make a lift of everything that's going well and not so well in your life. The things that aren't going to well, think what can you do about them?
Like if the weather is getting you Down, you can't control the weather but you can control your emotional response to it!??

Anyway that's my 2 cents

Xxxx

Aw thanks chick, you speak sense I just need to kick myself up the backside I think, seriously though I have a lovely life compared to many so I should shut up or do something about it!!

A friend of mine has a life coach always found it intriguing, might be worth looking into.

Part of the problem with me is I focus on what I want but it never comes quick enough lol I must learn to be patient!

Thanks for the advice I will defo take it on board. Have a great day xx

Morning Lady T,
Sorry to hear you are in such a bad head space. Hang on in there, this too will pass! Happiness is a funny thing, it can get to be such an important destination to reach that we miss the wonder on the way.

Plan going really well for me, something has clicked this time. Second time round for me. Can't say I have faced a major struggle with things yet, it will come though I am sure. Sunshine and roses pass just as surely as the black clouds.

Anyway chin up chic, and lipstick on. Have a good day x

Okay..I give: what is a playsuit? Never heard that term before so thus I have NUMEROUS thoughts running through my head on what it could be.

 

[Iveabigask]

Lol its like a jump suit only with shorts as the legs!

Or Its a suit you play in

Or it's a top and shorts combined

LOL Weebles, get your mind out the gutter girl, oh how I wish lol

Basically the easiest way to explain it is by saying its like a top and shorts stuck together. Bit daring for me as I hate my celulite ridden legs, well ok in my head thats what my legs look like. xx
