I Feeeeel Good...

deh deh deh deh deh deh deh. I knew that I would... deh deh deh deh deh deh deh!

As you can tell from the title I am feeling surprisingly good today. Especially considering I have just boiled the kettle for my morning coffee and went to get my mug out the cupboard to find the milk in there!!! I think dh must have lost his head last night and for some strange reason instead of putting the milk in the fridge he put it in the cupboard!!! Its definitely off this morning!! Oh well I suppose it will give me an excuse to go for a good walk and get some once the kids are up.

So I can't have my morning Ready Brek so am making do with sliced banana on 2 Ryvita Crispbreads and its delicious.

Its weigh in tonight and I am not worrying about whether I have lost pounds or not. It will be nice to though after staying the same last week but I feel so much better. I feel like I have more energy and not so lethargic as I have in the past. That to me is just as important as the weight loss. I am aiming to see a nice sustainable loss and it will stay off.

In the past I have gone all guns blazing desperate to lose as much weight as possible in as short a time frame as possible and then piled it back on and more again besides.

This time I am not thinking of it as a race to the finish line. I know I will get there eventually and it is going to take me at least a year to do it but I will get there. I keep telling myself the fable of the Hare and the Tortoise. The Hare rushes to get to the finish line but never gets there with their speed and cockiness. I am the tortoise taking their time plodding along but I will reach the finish line. I will reach my goal. At the moment I have to lose a further 8 stone (112 lbs) to do so but I will do it.
