2009 diary - time to make changes!

Ok, feeling a bit 'mixed up' so time for a bit of a re-think/focus

Have had a mixed week, dinner with 'crush man' on Wednesday, dinner with friends on Thursday, dinner at a friends last night and a full girlie shopping day today.

Crush man is definitely only looking for friendship, so must be crush man no more - will not tie myself up in knots and remember, no freakin drama :rolleyes:

Shopping was good, got a lovely bag for the races in a couple of weeks (with vouchers, so no spend ) and a top in the Mango sale. Also bought a dress but I think I got a bit carried away so may take it back

I have managed to out a pound back on and have done no exercise Not feeling very goddess like at the moment

Money is a bit of a disaster, only made the minimum payment to Barclaycard :eek: - have run up about £400 on it - and there is still 3 weeks until payday :mad:

So overall, feeling a bit mixed up and out of sorts so I think I need to re-focus and get back on track

Work is calming down and I am off for a long weekend next weekend. I am going to use this as an opportunity to focus on dieting and do some exercise. Am also going to re-instate all my 'goddess' routines in time for the races in 2 weeks - water, vitamins, skincare, pedicures etc

I need to sit down, pull out all my paperwork and sort out a 'debt busting' plan - I can't undo the overspending of the last month but I need to make sure it doesn't get out of hand again

Want to really enjoy all the social stuff I have coming up - and feel F Fabulous, life is for living after all :rolleyes:

OK - here's the plan for this week

• lose 2lbs
• exercise 3 times
• drink a litre of water everyday
• sort paperwork/finances
• facial and pedicure

Pep talk over

Been doing lots of thinking and 'self helpy' so these are my 2 conclusions:

• people do not reject me cos I am fat (they are not that shallow)
• I am not confident cos I am fat
• I am not confident so I perceive myself as rejected

and 2

• if I always do the same things I will always get the same results

Nothing new there but quite revealing as to what is going on in my head

So the plan is

1. focus on healthy eating/exerice/goddess stuff to make me more confident
2. present to the world the person I want to be - even if I have to pretend at first!

• daily calorie allowance of 1200
• daily food diary
• 4 week exercise plan (from Weightwatchers magazine)

I will keep posting, but in the spirit of confidence there will be do daily list and possible failure, just a post of everything I have achieved each day, and a weekly update

I am relying on all my DFW friends to keep be motivated

Hey,

This sounds like a fab plan - might join you on it! I follow some of the rosemary conley diets in her mags they are based on 1200 calories - might be worth a look for you?? I find them easy to follow and know I am eating the calories and the right things rather than a choc bar and then hardly anything else due to massive calories in choc bar

I shall be back to keep you on track xx

Spent most of the day sleeping and reading, think I needed a bit of a re-charge after a bust few weeks.

Have been sensible with food today, and am ready to start my new regime tomorrow. Going to do my goddess stuff and go to bed early - get off to a good start

Hi Shoegal

That sounds great. I love reading your plans as they are always sensible and a bit inspirational!

And I totally agree about being able to enjoy social occasions and to have a life.

I think it makes all the difference.

Well done and good luck.

Post on here if there are any good recipes or meal ideas. I always need some healthy eating stuff!

Have a good week!

Meenu

good luck !!
