Topic: RE: Sharing my weekly goals, what are yours if any.
I will be going back to work next Friday, so I'll be working hard to keep up with my 2x1 mile walks a day, and a 5 mile walk on weekends. I want to start a weekly meal plan which will make shopping easier. As part of this there'll be no picking, I've been so guilty of it this week! Help!!! I still need to upddate my photos, sorry Binty.

Go on - put a number on it, how many walks are you going to aim for this week. (pushy huh!!! LOL)

Great idea! Looking for a positive rather than a negative feedback is really good!
For myself, I'm going to get myself out of the house and walk. I've got a 10K coming up in July, and I've got to get ready. It has to be better for me than being up all night and sleeping all day.

Topic: Sharing my weekly goals, what are yours if any.
Although I weigh daily, I record once a week on a Friday. I've only just cottoned on that I do it, but after I've weighed in I tend to give myself an area to improve on for the following week. So I've decided to share, and want to hear if you have any mini goals for the week too.
So this week I lost 7lbs, which sounds better than it is as last week I lost only 2lbs and knew it would kind of catch up this week. Still - I'm happy with that.
My goal for this week, is to pick less. I still pick when I'm cooking, and accept offerings from kids and friends - you know, when someone offers their pack of crisps round, or asks you if you want to taste. Wish me strength on this one, I'll need all the willpower I can get, but I'm going for zero tolerance this week, I'll count the number of times I slip up and let you know next week!!!

Topic: RE: C'mon. Lets have a gab!
I am immensely self critical and often painfully shy in my personal life, however I talk like I'm confident and smile like I'm having fun, and occasionally, just occasionally I have moments of believing in it. I often wonder if that would have been different if I had never been fat.
The weekend is upon us - and if we get a milder day, I'm going on a bike ride with one of the twins for about 5 miles, then take my 4 year old daughter out to learn how to ride her bike. Wish me luck with my daughter, that will be a true test of my fitness levels. XXX

Well, here I am. I am wondering what you are all up to. Tomorrow IS Friday! I am taking tomorrow off.
I got some good news this week. The job I worked at in America and here in England as well as a contractor-they have HIRED me for real! I really cannot tell you how excited I am. I did NOT expect it at all!
Hmm-that starts me to thinking. Do any of you still struggle with self-esteem issues? If so-to what degree? If not-why? Have you always been confident-or did you learn it along the way?
I have always struggled with confidence. When I was a child and I would succeed at something-like ace a test, or make cheer leading-I would go to my Mum and ask her if she made them give me a high mark or pick me for a team! LOLOLOL!
Even now-my family is not surprised at all that I got hired-or that I did well at some task, but I AM!! I know this is something I really must work on.
I really do want to embrace all the positive that is in me..it's a learning thing I suppose!
Please share! I would love to hear.
Peace,
T
Way to go, thats great news !
I still stuggle BIG time with self-esteem issues, while I am 100% better than I was I was in such a bad place that I am no where near where a "normal" person is, I suspect that the "mental" side of my journey will actually take longer than the "Physical"side, but Im sure for anyone else who had a Bmi of 70 or over will have the same struggles.

My lad is 12 tomorrow. I was holding him, fighting tears at 12 minutes to 4 am in 1998. If he wakes me up at that time this Friday he might not make it to his party! lol
