The opening comment I have written relates very well to Pears comment yesterday about not feeling that she is failing when exercising. As you will have discovered yesterday our exercise sessions are about you working to your own level, they are not about who can do the most..there are no winners or losers! Bearing this in mind you need to take the same approach to your results and not worry about being the winner or best loser on the scales..If you focus on becoming a little bit stronger and fitter and healthier today than you were yesterday then you will have gained and can call yourself an achiever!!
Feeling quiet today so quick post. I walked for 30 mins this morning and did 3x 20 second sprints, this was after our session yesterday and Sue explaining about taking your heart rate up. So will incorporate that in my walks now. I felt really tired this afternoon so it was more a fast-ish 20 min walk through the woods.
Food choices
Breakfast - Porridge with prunes yogurt seeds and soya milk
Forgot my snack so I was starving when I got home and had my main meal
Sweet jacket pot, 2 egg ham omelette with spinach and sugar snap peas
Snack a handful of almonds and 2 dried apricots
Now I am going to have a bowl of muesli as I do not feel like veggies and savoury stuff.
Felt I was struggling mentally today and my mind went to chocolate, glad I noticed and realised it was an old comfort blanket. I looked at my "anchor" saying support knowledge strength. I am feeling support from you guys, Sues tips are increasing my knowledge in order to make changes and I am taking on board building my strength - today I drew on my inner strength to cope with where I was mentally, so building my inner resources as well as my body.
Hmmm........I seem to have talked even though I felt quiet. It seemed important to share with you all as this is new ground for me.

Hi Jayne, it sounds like quiet has been good for you today, allowing you to tune in to your body and listen to what it is telling you it really needs. x
Wow guys! Just read your blogs, Pear and Jayne...great reading! Jayne, I know totally where you are coming from with the mental struggle. I have been there many times in the last two months. We have all been addicted to bad habits for so long and like any addiction there will always be mental battles to challenge us and try and drag us back into old comforts again. You are so right to call upon your support, knowledge and strength to get through today, big well done to you.
I had my own mental challenge to deal with today... I had an xray this morning on my left foot. I have had a problem for a few months now (possibly a stress fracture) which I have tried to work through and ignore but it has got progressively worse. I have to wait a week or so for the results but it is really painful today. Did some fantastic ashtanga yoga practice this afternoon but felt a little upset I couldn't join in fully with everyone else.
I love exercise and it's really frustrating me that, as well as some yoga postures, I can't manage some of the other things I love too - Body Jam and Step I miss especially. I know that now I must focus on what I CAN do and wait and see what my doctor says. I just feel a bit fed up with it all today!
Who knows, maybe this is a time of reflection for me? And in true yogic thinking I shall be thankful for this opportunity and know that where I am now is exactly where I am supposed to be....aah, there, I feel better already.
One thought to leave you all with....why oh why do sportswear manufacturers not produce items over a size 14/16? What is the message here? If you are bigger than that you are too fat to exercise?
Hi Apple, just had a thought about your possible stress fracture and wondered what the meaning of it might be..in "Your Body Speaks Your Mind" Deb Shapiro tells us.."A break or difficulty implies a conflict at your deepest level within, a conflict that hinders if not stops your movement forward."...food for thought maybe?
I hadn't realised about the lack of more sizes in sportswear..how strange!I guess you are meaning the branded sportswear? Have you looked in TK Max as they usually have a good range of sportswear and a good range of sizes. Pineapple (in Debenhams) have more sizes too, I think.
