It has been a busy and exhausting week. It is Thursday, so still have 3 more days left to the week.
I went swimming once this week, as Monday morning was still oncall (and tired from the weekend work) so swam on Wednesday instead, will see how I feel tomorrow (alarms are set but am not sure if I am up for it, as would be going alone).
Decided to take a picture after week 1, the start of my journey:
Weighed in at work on Wednesday and had good news... have lost again... (so according to the work scale, I lost 1.6kg this week, for a total so far of 2.5kg or 5.5lbs).
I weigh in again on Saturday with My WW - so will see what their scale reports for my weight and loss.
I am debating on ordering a swimming tracker and was looking at something like this:
I had a very nice compliment yesterday... and it may not be one that most people will ever hear, but as I was leaving work one of the guys I work with told me I looked like I was “moving better”... it is a rather odd thing to say to someone, but it meant a lot that someone thought and said so. I will say I noticed right away that I did something that was mentioned at last Saturdays meeting, right away I said I have lost some weight and gave the amount I had from weigh in at work, and then hurried to add I have good days and bad days when it comes to my mobility. (Last Saturday, something call OPD was discussed - obsessive price disclosure - how if someone says something looks nice on you or gives a compliment, we are so quick to tell them where we got it and how much we paid... “that’s a lovely dress...” “you think so? £5 on sale...” rather than saying Thank You and moving on...) I had to find some explanation to why I was moving better instead of just say Thank you and taking the compliment. I have felt quite good this week, and hope it continues.
I was disappointed with that soup this week, but am going to try to modify the one I have been eating to make something like a beef and barley soup (or something close).
Today, I didn’t have my soup as was participating in an event at work and food was provided, but just made wise choices and stayed away from all the sweets and crisps, etc. even though there was lots (pic below of all the temptation). I am not “dieting” so need to learn how to make choices when faced with these situations. It was a good day.
It so far has been a good week for how I have been feeling and being able to make healthy choices. Let the work to shift this lifestyle and mindset continue.
