Crap but fabulous.

Nothing new to report today except I ate like crap because I didn't plan or take my food into work, and we were out for lunch and dinner.But did walk an hour to work...............

And I saw this on Celia's lovely blog and it is now my new workout mantra.............

I've just realised.............

11 lb's is my 10%! I've achieved something :)

I woke up this morning and was thinking up a million and one excuses not to walk half the journey to work.Then I spoke to the Scotsman who proceeded to tell me how wet and freezing cold it was outside.This seemed like an out of body experience as :
(a) I found myself telling him that I'll just put my waterproof on (which he knows I hate with a vengeance as I feel I look so dowdy and daggy in it) and just do it,as if I don't start there will always be an excuse not to do exercise.
(b) He then said,oh well,good for you darling,it will take you no time.I said 'no time for what?' And he said,'no time at all and you'll lose pounds and get fit and healthy.You've done amazing so far.'

Scrape my jaw off the floor! Words of encouragement from my Scotsman?!?!?!?!? Don't get me wrong,he is wonderfully loving and supportive of everything and anything in my life......he just never actually articulates it out loud.....with words......in sentences.Pretty much a typical Scottish man,so I've been told ;P

So,I'm off to get a supply of ventolin from Boots and resist the temptation of weighing myself early,and then setting off on my walk to work,praying that the Scottish rain doesn't open up on me.

Oh,and I found this quote on the Aussie WW boards,while I was contemplating to walk,or not to walk "You can have the results you say you want, or you can have all the reasons in the world why you can’t have them. But you can’t have both. Reasons or results. You get to choose." Susan Carlson

That's a virtual kick up the ass if ever I did hear one :D xox

A mini victory!

I know I've already posted today,but I manage 30 mins/1.25 miles on the treadmill today.I know it's very slow compared to most,but the point is it's a start and it can only get better :D PLUS,I also went for my big long walk around the park and then to the supermarket this morning.

Whilst at the supermarket I resisted the temptation of chocolates,biscuits and cakes and instead stocked up on Cherries,Strawberries and Raspberries.So I guess that's 2 mini victories!It sounds sooooo absolutely ridiculous to be getting excited over,when I see it in print,but this is coming from a girl who is 6 stone overweight and get's puffed out walking up a mini hill!
