Changes...

Yes.  I have changed this blog.  I decided it was time to grow up and I wanted to change this as well as my life.  So this is now going to be a place where I can talk about everything in my life not just weight loss, because even though it is important and needs to happen, I don't want it to define me as it has over the past year.  I have been 'Sophie - the girl doing weight watchers and struggles with eating' but now I'm just 'Sophie.'  Welcome to my thoughts.

So.  Why the change? I need one.  I need a new outset on life.  I don't know about you, but I tend to over think a lot of things and read into things that I hope are there, but actually, it turns out that I make a lot of this stuff up in my own head.  So, after a few things came crashing down on top of me, my friends kidnapping me yesterday and me starting to track again today, I needed a change and a place to vent.  So I changed my blog.  I think I'll enjoy updating it a bit more if it's about my life rather than just my weight loss journey as that got a bit tedious always saying that I had stuffed up again over this week.  I will continue to update you on my journey to goal because I think it's good to.  Oh and excuse the randomness of writing, but hey this is a place of my thoughts, and this is how my brain is.

One last thing, I'll try and update this as I have something I want to share or it's been a while, so bare with me!

Hope you are enjoying the lovely weather!

And I'm Back

Hello!

Sorry about the absence from this blog.  I have just spent a week at home for a funeral and have had assignments and the lot to do for uni, BUT I'm back now!  So here we go, celebrations and encouragement.

Celebrations!
1. I have been doing 75 sit ups for the past three nights.
2. My abs really hurt.
3. I am feeling confident in myself and I mean honestly and truly confident.
4. Life is good - there may be crappy things happening and challenges along the way BUT life is good.

My Encouragement for you...

Everything will be alright in the end, and if it's not alright then it's not the end - in honour of Dawn Withers.

Until next time! (which will hopefully be next week!!!)

Another One Goes By

Over the past couple of weeks I've been trying to train myself so I'm not constantly thinking about food.  I don't know about any of you, but I find myself thinking about food A LOT.  It's like it's the only thing that I think of at times and it bugs me.  So I've been thinking about this and trying to flip my thinking around and I've come to the conclusion that if I can train myself to not be thinking about food all the time and just focus on it when I'm hungry or have to decide what I'm having for a meal, then that's half the battle won.  So this is becoming my tactic - that and smaller portion sizes.

So, celebrations!

1) Over the past 2 weeks I have lost 900 grams - that's 300 grams per week!!

2) I did 50 sit ups in a row.

3) I held a pelvic tilt for 3 minutes

4) I got dressed up and went to the opera with a big group of friends

Good times and memories :)

My encouragement for this week

Keep going.  Don't give up.  Look for a positive in every situation.

Until next week!

Sophie
