Hi everybody,
I have made big changes to me, ya for me. What I was doing before, I am back weighing my food, not using my eye to judge, although there hasn't been that much difference. Some things were a little bit and others were down. But I am now eating very healthy and doing well with my calories and protein. All my nutrients were pretty good today.

Exercises, went for a walk today, well two actually, the first 30 minutes was walking on flat ground and the other time, my son and I went out bush to take the dog for a walk and we walked up and sown some sand hills for another 30 minutes. The second time I would have burnt more calories than the first because it was hard going, walking in the dirt.

Dad is out of hospital, he needs to see the doctor on Thursday, then they are leaving to come home. So they will be home probably next Tuesday.

exercises

Monday, November 14, 2011

my exercise class was cancelled as no one turned up except for me. Proud to say that because before it would have been me that didn't turn up. It is only in the 33 C or the low 90's here. I know the class will be cancelled if it is over 37C or 100F. So now I will have to do my own exercises.

You did good turning up! It's nice to do your 'own thing' sometimes too. I love exercising at home. You'll be fine. Report Inappropriate Comment

Sorry your class was cancelled. I'm proud of you that something like that isn't stopping you. Glad your dad is doing better. Hope the rest of your day goes well. Report Inappropriate Comment

Too bad class was cancelled, but good for you that you did your own thing!! Glad your Dad is getting better. It is such a worry . . . seems strange when the roles of parents and kids are reversed. My parents are in their 80's and I constantly worry about them! But on the plus side, they really do take good care of themselves and each other. HUGS! Report Inappropriate Comment

It doesn't get into the 30's very much here in Tassie, just make sure you dring plenty exercising in that heat. I don't mind a bit of heat, I get a sweat up, then I think .. there does a bit of weight .. Report Inappropriate Comment

Good on you for still doing your own exercises. Unfortunately I struggle with any temps over 30 degrees as I much prefer the winter to warmer seasons. Great going though! Report Inappropriate Comment

What a shame Wendy, wouldn't you think they would let you know !! So very proud of you for doing your own Well done my friend!! hugs Report Inappropriate Comment

thank you everyone for your comments on my blogs. I feel as though I have turned the corner in my life. Before when I ate anything like that it would not have even worried me, but truly I did not like how that made me feel. I know in future I will not be eating that much again, I won't say i will never eat chocky again but I will be only having 1 row from now on.

Feeling really positive at the moment.

Dad should be out of hospital Wednesday or Thursday, they will stay in Queensland for a few days after but will then slowly come home.

Off to exercises later on. So hopefully I will burn lots of calories. LOL

I plan to keep on eating very healthy.

Hi, I have had a really good day calories wise and have eaten very carefully and healthy today.
I achieved only 30 minutes of exercises but I have a big day tomorrow.

I also achieved my goal from last week where I had stated that I wanted to do 7 hours of exercises for the week, I did 7 1/2 hours.

So the goal for this week is the 7 1/2 hours for the week but I will see if I can improve on this time.

I have gotten over my abuse of me yesterday, it definitely is stored in the memory as a learning experience.

I have abused me

Saturday, November 12, 2011

I HAVE ABUSED ME AND MY BODY. I have been very good and trying not to emotionally eat and had succeeded up until today. I nearly did it last night but I did resist. I had some bad news about my father (my father and mother are in Queensland on holidays) and he has been put into hospital with DVT (2 small blood clots in his calf). He will be ok. But today I bought some chocolate for my son and I have eaten 1/2 a block. Now I feel sick, it serves me right. I am really not happy with me.

I do deserve a kick, you know where.

Wendy, Just consider it a learning experience and we all do that once in awhile. You are right back on track and that's the important thing and just had a small slip up. Thank you for the cocoa it tastes so warm and sweet. I really appreciate your thinking of me. Hugs, Jill Report Inappropriate Comment

Glad to hear your father has been given the okay, Wendy. We've all had lapses along the way - but I know what you mean...I am working on cutting out sugar and feel a bit funny if I have anything sweet. Nattacia Report Inappropriate Comment

I did learn a very important lesson yesterday and the thing is I did not enjoy the chocky as much as I thought I would. Along with guilt I did not feel very well at all. I think I am finally realizing it just is not worth eating a 1/2 block of chocolate. Next time Wendy just take 1 row. Remember the feeling of sickness. Today is another day and I have promised myself to care for me and my body. I also need to remember the amount of protein that I ate yesterday, it was enough for about 4 days worth. Remember my kidneys, Wendy . Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't be so hard on yourself Wendy. Emotions play havoc with us in many ways. At least you recognized it and are ready to start a new day. Glad to hear your Dad is okay. Report Inappropriate Comment

The advice not to beat yourself up . . . take it! Today's a new day, a clean slate, a chance to learn from your experience yesterday! You can do it. You have identified the problem, you know what to do, and you will! Report Inappropriate Comment

MILLYMOUSE1 11/12/2011 5:55AM

Glad to hear your Dad will be OK Wendy. As Susie said don't beat yourself up about the chocky, we all break at some point you are only human. Put it behind you, Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success Comment edited on: 11/12/2011 6:03:53 AM Report Inappropriate Comment

WENDYJM4 11/12/2011 4:32AM

thanks Susie, this is a real good lesson as when I did the food dairy I would have come in way under my daily allowance without the chocky, so I could have eaten a bit more today than I did like my yoghurt. It was 500 empty calories and lots of protein in this evil chocky! On top of this I still feel sick. So I am going to have to remember this important lesson it really is just not worth eating empty calories. The doctor has told my father he will be ok. Report Inappropriate Comment

I am so sorry about your dad love !! Don't beat your self up .. enjoy the chocky!! Tomorrow is another day!! Love and Hugs Susie Report Inappropriate Comment
