You win some, you lose some. - That definitely how my day is shaping up to be.
I woke up early today, having only around 4-5 hours sleep; I was pleasantly surprised that my mood wasn’t awful. Instead I felt optimistic. Even the lack of warm water while getting washed didn’t faze me. Although I was running a bit late (it wouldn’t be like me to be early) and I decided to grab a taxi (public transport) to my meeting today.
I will admit this has become more of routine now, I use to walk it to my meetings then walk it home, but instead I’ve been getting taxi’s down and then visiting my boyfriend as he’s free all day today and lives close by to my meetings.
Normally when I grab a taxi and it is early in the day, there would be at least 3 lined up, ready to take you to your destination. However today, there was none, today’s weather decided to be a prick; a ’light shower’ (you know the one that ‘soaks you through’ thanks Ireland!) Instead of wasting 5-10 minutes waiting on one to pull up, I decided to walk it down, with my i-pod in and non-walking shoes, but the fact that I decided to *change* my routine was a WIN!
The walk was great, it was lovely and refreshing to clear my head, think about my weight watchers journey and to think about the things I have to change *forever* in order to *succeed.* Plus the rain had disappeared quite quickly and I didn’t get too wet, another wee WIN!
Within 20 mintues, I had arrived to my meeting just in time, the meeting part had just started and I had missed the first set of weigh-ins but that was okay, I didn’t mind having to wait behind after class. Today we talked about carbohydrates, and how they can actually be a dieters best friend, as long as they’re the *healthy* good for you versions. (Coming in another post)
After class I weighted in and I wasn’t shocked to see that I had put weight on, I’d put on 1lb this week, I considered this a LOSE! (I was contemplating calling this a fail, but it’s not its part of my journey! Reinforced positive thinking for ya’ll.) By the time I’d left my meeting I was hungry and tiredness was kicking in. I ran some errands, and did the things that I had to do today, returned to my boyfriend’s house and lied down for a while, as he geeked. (Oh Modern Warfare 2 how I hate thee for turning my boyfriend into a psychopath.)
Now normally when I’ve not had much sleep, I either a) don’t eat much b) eat badly 3) need some form of caffeine fix. I was a member of each group today, I went to the supermarket and walked straight pass the fruit section, and picked up some ‘unhealthy’ snacks and a bottle of Lucozade, strange choice (it’s a glucose fizzy drink, full of sugar, I should know better!) However after I ate and drank, I was surprisingly stuffed (I think it was the fizzy drink playing tricks with my stomach)
Later in the afternoon the boyfriend’s mother was making dinner (chilli, I’m fussy so it and I don’t go) and offered to make me a cheese and ham toasty, which I couldn’t even finish.
I think it’s one of those days where I’m eating, for the sake of eating, I don’t think I’ll be eating much for the rest of this evening, instead just chugging a lot of water (yay WIN a bit of healthiness)
Has you can imagine I am quite tired now,so I suspect this post isn't that great,so my apologies, I hope everyone is having a great day today!
Until later
Helen.xo
P.S. Hmm think, I will go the supermarket later on and buy some bits of fruit to snack on for the rest of the week... WIN
You won more than you lost - I consider that a successful day! It's all about the sum total, right?
