Before After

My friends list

take two, 3, four...what ever it is now

Its been a very long time since I have been here to say hello. I came back from my trip, ready and roaring to go with inspiration and drive, but that disapeared fast. I yet again let life take over and let the excuses take control. I dont know why I am doing this, why I let it take over. I can do this, I have done this....I am going to do this

I am back

Yes its  been a few weeks since I tracked, I am sorry for that. Just been on a bit of a downer since getting back from holiday, and I think because I have been sick and not working out, I have been feeling really bad.


NO MORE

Today I am back on track, taking control and back to setting new goals.....now off I go to work

sad

Today was a very deep and sad day....a new low

Back in La

Ok, well here I am back in LA...missing Denver and my sister. I am so happy to be back in the US, but finding LA not as inspiring as I first thought (though do love the beaches). I am discovering it is me!!! Today i was felling so down (and on my holiday no less) that I went back to my eating without thinking.

I started off the day with a good walk, and then a long drive with no bad snacks. But driving home I was tired and mad at myself and I let my hunger and depression tell me I needed Taco Bell.....and did I really, NO!!! It was the sodium that made me feel even worse.

But then I come home with the kids and have a cookie, and ate what everyone else was eating for tea (being that I am staying at someone elses house, I eat what everyone else is eating) which was chinese.....more sodium.

I feel so yucky, but rather than beat myself up, I am writing it down to all of you, and know tomorrow is a new day.....I AM OFF TO DISNEYLAND, LOTS OF WALKING AND DRINKING WATER.

I just have to keep smiling and keep going, and hopefully along the way I will get a few hugs and lots of good feelings.

Still in Denver

I am so proud of myself, I have been in Denver for 3 days and I have been eating so well. My sister has been such a positive influence for me, and I wish I  was staying here  longer with her. The only thing I haven't been doing is tracking my food/points (the Weight Watcher way). I know I am on holidays, but I guess my life doesn't stop while I am on holidays. I need to keep this positive outlook going, keep focused when I leave Denver.......its a scary thought.
 
Well off to have a day of shopping with my sister and brother, and continue day 3.


day 2

Good morning all, its day 2 here, and I am still on holiday. I got a nice walk in yesterday. To its alot of running around today, so I need to keep focused on what I eat. I find that my sister is such a big help in keeping me focused and on track. But she is here in Colorado and I am in Australia. I guess I have to learn to ask for help. I just know I end up giving up when doing it by myself.

Lets hope for another good day

Today is the begining

Hello there everyone. I am new to this blogging but not new to the weight loss ride. I have just recently gotten back in to focusing on losing weight, but the biggest problem I seem to be having is focusing on me, and putting myself first. Everything else seems to come first and I let it!!!
So here I am on holidays at my sisters, and I just thought that today is the day I am going to put me first. I have to if I want the things I do in life.
I have started back at Weight Watchers, but still find that doing this alone is really hard. I know I have to be able to do this on my own, but I need a little support and a bit of a kick in the butt from time to time, so I thought I would tried blogging, and see if that keeps me in line.
I am also an artist that seems to have lost a little bit of my creative drive in this whole process. So I have made a promise to myself, and to anyone that might be reading my blog, that each week I am going to post a new piece of work, something relating to my journy that week.

So here I go, its the begining.....
