Weigh-in week 4

Start weight: 110 kg
Current weight: 104,1 kg
Current loss: 2,6 kg
Goal weight: 70 kg
Weight lost so far: 5,9 kg
Weigh to go: 34,1 kg

Wow. 2,6 kg lost this week. That's amazing. Only I don't really know how I did it. My memory of last week is vague. It was a rotten week, having to tell everyone how I sacked the exam and cancelling the holiday. *pout* But my boss told me yesterday I was allowed to save overtime hours and take a little time off later in the year. That was really nice of him and made me feel hundred times better. I honestly need some time off work and study just to relax and have no worries. I feel that my batteries are low. *sigh* I don't know if it will be possible to go somewhere but the idea along makes me smile again and gives energy.

About the loss again. I do recall that I had some awesome workouts last weekend. On Friday and Saturday I did a 36km (!) bike trip and enjoyed it a lot. It's the road to Ypres I took and it's one hour bike trip to get there through a hilly scenery. It was an amazing workout and on Saturday I rewarded myself with an ice-cream in the best ice-cream parlour of Ypres. Just the idea of it makes me want to jump on my bike again. Yum.

For the rest I didn't do much. Right now I'm trying to keep thinking positively and not to throw me on food when I feel bad. My friend L told me last weekend to think more positively because the thought of positive thinking is a hundred time bigger than a negative thought. She's right. And I try to correct myself when I go negative again. Small steps...

Sounds like you're making great progress Moody!

I did the same on one of my marathon bike rides - a friend and I once cycled 60km from Georgetown, Washington DC to Mt Vernon, Virginia, and we stopped at a Ben and Jerry's icecream parlour midway!

Keep thinking positively. When you aren't used to being positive about yourself, it can be really hard. And it's not like I woke up one day and decided to be positive about myself from now on (LOL) - it was just changing behaviours and thoughts over a period of time. But when you make a real effort to be positive, you do start to see the effects, and you realise that you are happier when you make the effort to be positive rather than dwell on things. And that makes it easier to be positive, I think. (does that make sense?)

Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. I hope you're having a happy week, and be so PROUD of how well you're doing!!

:D
