Dealing with disappointment

For the last few weeks the bathroom scales have been being a bit dicey. One moment has been seven pounds heavier than the next. So, rightly, a new set of scales were bought. And they tell some nasty and uncomfortable truth.

I may not have lost two and a half stone yet. I might have done by the morning: but today I haven't.

I am gutted. I know its a bit pathetic- but its made me wonder if I can do this. I have been training and keeping most of the good eating.. but its all slowed. Its hard to even articulate what this has done to my head. BUT on the good front I haven't eaten chocolate to get over it.. nor have I starved myself.

Tomorrow I go back to my trainer and we work more on getting some weight off. I still have Easter as my target.. maybe more humbly than previously..

They joined as an act of patriotism, tinged yes with fear, but also a sense that it might be the right thing to do. They joined from across the country- but at the heart of the front line forces were thousands and ten of thousands...

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.
