New month! Goals maybe? Let's try mental Health&Wellbeing.

Wednesday, June 01, 2011

So it's JUNE! I can't believe how quick the year is going (Now I sound like my mother). Like I said in my blog yesterday, I want to smash through my plateau-ok so it's not a plateu. it's me being disorganised and lazy lol. But I know that I need to have more of a plan-I need goals. So, in the spirit of fast break, three simple goals for the month.

1-Exercise 5 times a week, but in moderation.
Yes, my crazy brain tends to have an all or nothing mentallity. Either I burn 400+kcals a workout, or don't do it. I kind of blame running, I'm so use to burning mega amounts of kcals, that anything less is a crime now. Of course, that's not the only time I've ever burnt alot of kcals in 2 hours, but that was different.

2-Try to take steps to reducing binging purging episodes.
I have been doing this alot the last few weeks, mainly stress related. As a result, I have had a sore throat for most of May. It's not somthing that I'm proud of, but it needs to be dealt with. So, I'm looking at some emtional eating articles and I'm going to try to put some steps into place.

3-Show myself respect and aprreciation.
This came about today. I was doing my 5mile run, and I challenged myself to run a route with a lot of going up hills. I hate hills. But I did it without stopping, and I know exactly why. I had a positive inner monologue, egging me on to do it. All my life. I have just allowed myself to berate and critise myself, to the point where I think if my inner monologue was another person I'd punch myself in the face! I use to have this maths teacher, who I'm pretty sure was an ex con looking back on it-but that's another story-who very passionatly told us that we should never say anything negative about ourselves, becaus if we said it, how could we protest when other people said it back.

So yes, those are my three goals. I need to think about how to best do number three...but it'll get done.


On a completly different note, I found this pic on passiveagressivenotes.com. It's a little mean, but gosh it made me laugh!

I like #2 the best. :) Take care of yourself dear. Surround yourself not just with applicable knowledge but with a support system of friends, family and other motivational outlets. Like a nice 5-mile run (WOO HOO!) or an inspiring/positive book, or a feel good movie. LOL @ your picture. I'm going to have to check out that website. I love a good dry sense of humor.

A proper blog update

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

So I haven't blogged in a while, mainly because I just haven't really had time. So here goes.
It's half term now, so I have the whole week off. So far, it's been good just to get back into a routine of Sparking properly. In the run up to half term, what with Year 11's GCSEs I lost the plot alittle. I've been stuck at 146 since February-and whilst I am not knocking this as it's still an 8lb loss, I would like to get my butt moving again!

With that in mind, I'm going to start training for a half marathon in October next week. I say next week, because this weekend I'm running 8miles for my school anyway, so I need to focus on that for now. I've been a bit sad, I have my training plan stuck up by my calender, and I've already planned out the routes for the first few weeks! One of my new years resolutions is to run a half marathon, so I'm really hopeful that I can do it!

Something that works!

So I found something that actually stops me from binge purging-or did today.

Writing fan fiction. I based it around the walking dead, but me and my flatmate are just having a laugh with it. I wrote 15 pages today-it's nothing brilliant, but it's amusing to us both. She said she's gonna draw pictures for it. It's taken up most of my day, but it has been ace to do! I'll have to restrain myself tomorrow.

  

Rah!

I had a really good practise session at derby today, it started a bit shaky, but it picked up as I went on. I can actually do proper T stops now, and I started crossing over around corners! It was definatly the best one so far!

I'm still excessing at the moment in regards to food, but now half term is here I'm going to be able to keep an eye on my plate a bit more-esp as I won't have temptation lying around every corner!
