Earth Angel Andie - 2015 Diary

[Andie27]

Hey Cumulus, thanks for stopping by, glad you enjoy my entries. I believe that in order for me to get the most out of this journey, I need to be open and honest with myself. I use the forum to free up mind space and to sprak from the heart. It's also one of the best ways I know how to stay focused.
Am having a great week, hope you are too.
Rock that smile sweetie!
Hugs

Hi Mrs J,
I feel fab thanks for asking. I'm going to read through my diary again for motivation. I am actually trying to motivate myself to get to the gym! Thanks for stopping by. You have a great weekend too!

Great idea Andie, it's always great to review how far we've come another tip I learned, that made me feel awesome, is to get out your tape measure and put it around your body but at your original measurements to see just how far you have come! (best pick me up I've found yet)

[Andie27]

Hey Cumulus, thanks for the idea. Will give it a go.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs

OK I am going to sound like a really bad MOM but here goes. I too love my tape measure it is so exciting to see change on it. So much so that the other day my 8 year old was asked to bring one to school and I said no he could borrow someone elses - so he went tape measureless to school. Somewhat confused and tape measureless because he sees I have one next to my bed. WHAAAAT is the school thinking - Im never gonna give this up it is too important it would be like sending my scales away - or giving up a limb! Last time they asked for a crochet hook and it came back 6 months later and BENT!!

MEASURE MEASURE MEASURE = HAPPINESS and MOTIVATION.

Too funny Tes!

THE HALFWAY MARK!!

Today I officially hit my halfway mark in terms of overall weight loss. I am participating in the "4 week 5 kg challenge" and have achieved another great loss. I have now updated my ticker to reflect the new stats and it's the best feeling in the world to see that little ticker move. WOO HOO!

I'm even more surprised with my results cos I had a super lazy day yesterday and mucked up - I ate 2 days worth of my crispbread allowance in one sitting and I didn't weigh any of my veges. I also went overboard with the mayo and squirted more than I'm allowed over my food - I just couldn't help myself.
Note to Self: Go easy on the crispbread, weigh EVERYTHING and easy on the mayo!

I wasn't even sure I was reading the scales right so asked my Physical Torturer to double check the figures for me and I was right

So I am back to being super vigilant now, to be honest I think I'm in shock!
Hugs
