1. To feel a sense of accomplishment like I used to when I rode and competed and achieved something
2. To get back into the clothes I wore nearly 10 years ago when I got married, yes I still have some and I still love them.
3. To not feel so unhealthy and guilty about over indulging (aka pigging out) and "forgetting" to exersize.
So, as I like instant gratification I started before 2012 has begun and have so far managed to start running. I can now run (with the dog admittedly) further than I have been able to run in my life. I know what it feels like now to push through that "oh I cant do it" barrier and feel the actual thrill. And I can sense its becoming addictive. To make it even better I dont hurt in my bones, in my knees or my pelvis like I have before. I am chalking this up to good preparation, I have been walking pretty much daily since we got here. I can walk miles now and still want to go further. Its not hard here, I love the outside so much. Oh and I invested in good footwear for the first time in my life.
I have considered not eating past 6pm. Now this should be achievable given that I am home most days before 5.30 and hungry at that time and it means I eat with the girls which is what I want to do.
I say I have only considered it because so far for three nights I have failed, spectacularly. This is my mums fault (of course) as she sent over stacks of sweet biscuits and goodies and they call my name all friggin evening. Hopefully tomorrow I will manage a night of stopping eating at 6pm and it will manage to go from there. Hmmmm, tomorrow night is NY eve, I dont think its feasible! Maybe this one will start next year.
Oh, and I want to grow my hair longer again, below is me two years ago with the gorgeous Tessa, and I rather fancy that look back, I hope I dont look too much older than then (real fear kicks in!)
And heres one of me and Lily in July this year:
And just for the beauty of it,here is the lake at the cottage in Sheet Harbour, this is a stunning shot by Mrs Roo and reminds me of last summer:
I want to stop eating earlier as well! I think the earliest I could feasibly do this is 8 since sometimes we eat SO LATE! Begah! I love to run and can't wait to do it again!
ReplyDeletei think 8pm has got to be better than 9 or 10pm, these days we have to take what we can get, good luck!
