Hi and welcome back!
It's been an interesting week of different experiences and challenges for us all again. Everything that happens to you on this FAT-SCRAP journey is an experience and it's how you perceive these experiences that will make a difference to whether you continue with this journey. The thing I love about perception is that there is never one way seeing things, you might be looking at things from different angles, seeing them in a different light, taking a different point of view, looking at the other side of the coin..but, which ever way you choose to perceive your experiences will determine your future choices.
And the great thing with challenges is that we can learn from them. If we succeed in overcoming them then we can become more confident in our abilities and desires. If we find that we can't overcome the challenge we might want to learn how we could make different choices next time that would serve us better. We can question our desire - "how important is it that I overcome this challenge?" and learn from that. Sometimes, we find we have other goals more important than the one we are trying to achieve.
So my advice today is embrace your challenges, challenge your perspectives, perceive your desires and desire your outcomes!

Loved the post today Sue! I know my perception of a situation can make it easy or difficult.
I am recovering from my boxercise class!!! Working with the instructor for the whole class was tough but great!! My right hand and arm is achey and stiff from my punches and receiving his big blows!!!
Loved it though, very friendly group and very encouraging. The blog feels strangely quiet......hoping everyone is ok. I have to remember to blog , love Reading others comments and realise we all have our challenges. Perhaps at times we feel we can only write about our sucesses, however we and others can learn so much from hearing about our challenges. Each journey is different, we are however all here for the same reason so let's support each other on the blog.
I had a couple of glasses of wine on Sunday. My good old with others joining in reward thing. I am ok with my choice though. I realise I may take longer to get my body fat down if I do that. I am not beating myself up, but learning from the experience. I noticed feeling dehydrated though so I know I am more aware of my body and what it tells me I need. I also went back to Pilates yesterday. That felt great- more time for me. I find it quite tough and really relaxing. I love classes, meeting others and having a chat.
I will bring t bags on thurs. I have peppermint, red fruit, earl grey, chai. What to bring??? Oh and sue, when I looked at my oatcakes ingriedients, they had wheat and sugar in!!! Are they all different? Must get up now and walk the dogs.
Hi Jayne, good to hear that your muscles feel like they have worked and that you enjoyed the boxercise class. A great way of exercicing to encourage fat loss! Pilates is great exercise for the body but will not encourage fat loss unfortunately, however it is fantastic for building core strength, and flexibilty and will compliment your other training beautifully.
Pleased you found todays blog useful. Sometimes I do wonder if anyone is actually reading it but I just have to hope that someone out there is finding it helpful and will keep on sending out the messages and motivation. If anyone has any particular subject they would like me to discuss, please let me know..and of course, we can all benefit from hearing each others thoughts and comments, so if you can, please share them with us.
As for the tea, I think Apple wanted us to share the herbal varieties that are caffeine free so peppermint or red fruit would be good. Let us know which one you decide on so that we don't double up.
Yes, oatcakes can vary in ingredients so it's always worth checking the packets of these, and anything you buy as there are so many hidden things in manufactured products, especially sugars!!!! x x
B/F: Carmans Fruit Muesli bar. Snack: 5 Brazils. Luunch: Beef Burger topped with grated cheese and with chips and salad. Snack: grapes. Tea: tin of Sainsbury chunky vegetable (no wheat) and 2 oatcakes. Went swimming in the morning and did 24 laps, felt alive and energised after I had done it.
