We had to spend all day indoors today because of the terrible weather. There's something about wet, gloomy days that just puts a downer on everything and i tried to use that as an excuse not to exercise. But after spending a few hours indoors with no fresh air, i'd had enough and popped out to the gym. It was soooo amazing, my mood changed completely, so much so that i stayed in there and did an extra half hour of toning! and that good mood has lasted the whole day!
Also i decided to have a rrreeeally lazy day and since i couldnt go to church, i had ALOT of time on my hand so spent it between reading fitness threads on netmums and driving bj and hubby insane. Whilst reading the threads on netmums, it struck me just how many mums struggle with weight after pregnancy and the truth is for the average mum next door, your body is NEVER the same again and apart from some really lucky women with amazing genes(NOTE: WE SHOULDNT ENVY THESE WOMEN, WE SHOULD THROW STONES AT THEM.....ON THE STREETS!!:-)) the rest of us have to work painfully hard at trying to look yummy. Its harder if you have more than one child, a single parent and or going through some sort of trauma.
It also suprised me how common emotional eating is. Lots of mums, me included eat out of boredom, when happy, tired etc. I think the only time i cant emotional eat is when i'm anxious, worried or terribly sad.
This weightloss thing is such a BIATCH. i sometimes wish it wasnt that big a deal but it is human nature to want what seems a bit unachievable, just a bit out of reach, that kind of is what success is all about isnt it?
because when i'm 8st 10 (and i will be!!!)and looking fabulous, i will also get that sense of achievment and i can brag about just how much work it was and feed on the admiration i get from people who will congratulate me on my 'hard' journey. and there will be people, even if i have to pay them!!
oh yeah baby! only 27 days to go.
