Strange couple of days. Feel like I can really notice a difference in how I look and feel, I feel smaller and clothes are fitting much better, or even just fitting! So why have I been making some poor choices. Got home from work nice and early yesterday and had tuna, cherry tomatoes, some pasta, three slices of wholemeal bread with jam and a cup of tea. Then in the evening had creme egg, red wine, three egg omelette and baked beans - like WTF, where did all that come from :sigh:
This morning the scales had dropped again though don't really feel deserving of it, and am sure yesterdays decisions will come back to haunt me on the scales later in the week.
Anyhow new dawn new day - back on track, up early for a nice long, wet and muddy dog walk. Shake. Out supermarket shopping. Home for shake. Sofa surfing watching football and rugby league (yippee new season starts today) then out for another long dog walk I think. Am going to have as many shakes today as I need to stop me picking, eating, snacking, drinking.
I think I get comfortable when I get to this size. Compared with how I was before I am much smaller, so I think I feel that I don't need to be as focussed. But I still have a BMI of over 30, still classed as obese, so I need to understand that for my health as much as anything I need to carry on.
In other news, the dog has been getting increasingly more aggressive on the lead when she sees other dogs. I don't think it is pure aggression I think she is nervous coupled with excitement, she just wants to go and play with them - but it comes across as aggression and she lunges at them, barks and growls and drools! I find it very stressful and embarassing and I am worried what will happen if I lose control of her. Anyhow, the dog walkers daughter is interested in dog behaviour and she has just started walking her instead of her mum. So she is coming to see us tomorrow lunchtime to show us some of the techniques she has been using with her that seem to work and calm her down. Off the lead she is a different dog - she is excited when she sees other dogs but isn't aggressive at all - she just wants to play! I am sure she has a reputation round here with the neighbours, but she is as soft as anything. Fingers crossed for some dog whispering magic!!
Hope everyone is having a fabby weekend and that some spring sunshine has found you all x
