Hi and welcome back!
Tomorrow is weigh-in day and it is important that you come along feeling positive about what you have gained from the last two weeks and not worrying about what you have lost. As I have said, if you worry about losing something you try and find it again! so, today I would like you to spend a little time reflecting on the past two weeks - how you felt at the start, and how you are feeling now and what you have gained from the programme so far. You might like to write it down here to help reinforce your positivity.

FAT-SCRAP MARCH 2010 DAY THIRTEEN
FAT-SCRAP MARCH 2010 DAY FIFTEEN
6 comments:
Mine has all been gains. Two weeks ago, I felt bloated, puffed, with my body working against me. I had lots of critical thoughts against myself and I constantly looked backwards.
Having a relationship end and my daughter gone to Oz, it was about loss. That is truth. It still is truth. What is different is my thinking. I know when we lose something we replace it with something else. Last year I replaced my daughter going and a rocky relationship with food. This year I PLANNED to do something different. The day after she left , I had in place my plan to start FAT SCRAP. I notice myself saying onward and upward a lit. Not a phrase I have used a lot before- not sure where it is from.
So tomorrow is much more than a number on the scales. Each day is waking up more rested, hungry- not bloated, more energised, feeling my muscles as they get used and strenghthened enabling me to strengthen myself emotionally to deal with life.
After losing my friend - truth, I am re- evaluating my life and what I want.
Loss is a reality in life. When we make life choices quite often it is what we gain after something goes that is hard to vIsualise. As Apple said yesterday, it is attachment, a very powerful thing in life. Necessary for a child to grow up emotionally stable. If there are gaps, we place attachments on other perhaps less useful things.
My gain is having pleasure in nurturing me, helping myself( with all your support) to find myself under all this fat and enjoy me!!!
Wow Jayne, love your blog today and know it comes straight from the heart. Thank you for sharing all of this. Like you I have shared a lot of my inner feelings in this blog and I believe it is great therapy for us in itself don't you?
What a journey you are on! I feel priveleged to be walking alongside you during it whilst meeting my own challenges. This goes for Mara and Pear too. I haven't got to know you new guys well yet but I have seen a complete transformation in Pear over the last two plus months. I am sure Pear will agree with me when I say that both of us feel so different now, so energised, so positive and so excited about the future. The weight loss in a way is just an aside to that...but a welcome and wonderful one at that!!
Best of luck with your weigh ins tomorrow and enjoy the exercise and chat. I am sorry I can't join you this time, I am on a yoga workshop all day. I will be able to make Tuesday lunchtime this coming week so...maybe see you there??
Pear, I'm looking forward to walking with you on Monday, it will be so good to see you!
Great news from me...my box of assorted Nakd bars have arrived and I can tell you they are AMAZING!!!!! In fact, I will give one of each flavour to Sue for you all to try tomorrow. I've just had the gingerbread one and I can only describe it as orgasmic!!
Oh, and I got brave in Sainsburys this morning and went to the fish counter! Brave?? Crazy I know but I have always avoided buying fresh fish as I've been nervous I won't cook it right. Anyway, I discovered that you can now buy it fresh in a ready to bake bag and they will even put a marinade on for you for free!! I guess you all probably know all about this but it's totally new to me and I am thrilled. Healthy, foolproof fast food!!
Have a great day girls! xxx
How funny, I was have just left a friend and the last conversation we had was about fish, and her lack of confidence about preparing it and cooking it, and as I told her about the Sainsburys clever idea of making it easy and quick, I wondered if you all knew about this and thought I must tell you!! Infact my words to her were "It's fast healthy food!!" However, I do ask for a much smaller amount of marinade than they usually put in it or have it plain.
Its so lovely reading your blogs and the experiences you're going through. Its funny how the change in our eating habits is having such positive effects on us...I just laugh to myself and think why didnt we do this sooner? Its so easy when you know how!!!
So pleased Apple your foot isnt fractured, but I too would be wondering what could be wrong with it? Lets hope they find out soon for you.
I'm not able to make tomorrow's session either as going to London for a friends birthday!! I know this could be a little messy, but I have been so focused this week, that if I do choose to have a wine or 2, I know I will be back on track on Sunday. And good news too I'm back to training next week, so I'll see you Monday and Tuesday Apple and maybe Jayne and Mara if you're there too. I feel I've got so much catching up to do!!!
Cant wait to sample your orgasmic Nakd bars Apple.....who needs men! :)
Had my salmon with red thai marinade earlier this evening - it was SO easy to cook, even I could do it!! Can't wait to try another fish now! Thank you Mr Sainsburys I love you!
Have a good day tomorrow everyone and a happy weekend! xxx
