Day 2 continued

ok i have to 'fess up here!! yesterday afternoon was a disaster!! I was struck by huge sugar cravings and i hit the 'sod it' button. So i hang my head in shame and admit to eating chocolate and cake!!!! To be honest I was so tired i think my body was craving energy. Sugar is my downfall but i have been managing really well lately with no cravings at all.I have to say that i felt rubbish afterwards.

I have 2 choices, i can beat myself up and feel like a complete failure or I can learn from it.

So i choose to learn from it!!

Yesterday morning i didnt eat enough and was hungry. If i do this it usually means i'll 'crave' in the afternoon. I didn't have enough fresh foods in to make an interesting meal so i picked all day and didn't feel satisfied (which i had said in the previous blog and had not picked up on the warning signs - Hello??). I also didnt drink enough water yesterday.

I am glad to say that i am feeling much more positive today. I revisited my 'why's' and goals on why i am following this programme. Having goals and writing them down is one of the most powerful tools that i have recently learnt. I try and write down my goals daily to keep re affirming them. I also use visualisations. Morning and night i take a  minute or two to visualise my goal. I really use all my senses to get the feeling of how it will feel when i have reached my goal. This really fires me up and keeps me focused.

I have recently lost 6 lbs and feel great but i want to lose another 5 to feel amazing! I want to get to the weight I was 2 years ago. I don't strive to be skinny, my ideal body shape is fairly muscular and athletic. As a fitness instructor and coach i feel i have to have an excellent level of fitness and to look fit!! I walk the walk when it comes to my nutrition and fitness so i can empathise with my clients. When i am at my 'fighting weight' (9.13) my clothese feel more comfortable and I feel more confident. When i feel more confident I act more confident which has a positive influence on those around me. WHen those around me are happy, I feel happy

I'm feeling much more positive today :)
