Pretty hopeless, me. Slipping up so soon after making all these big commitments. It's so easy to make excuses. We really haven't had a lot of time, but it really doesn't take long to do a wee bit of exercise, it's just so much easier to watch the telly and have another piece of toast! But, the funny thing is, if I was giving someone else advise, I'd be saying, forget it, it's a blip, it's done - the thing to do is start again and keep going, but somehow because it's me, I feel like I'm pretty useless having lost the way so soon after getting started and feel, because I'm really not in the habit of doing exercise, that I might never be and it'll always be difficult.
We met with my brother yesterday and spent some time talking about a course he is doing at the moment. One of the things he said was about this sort of negative thinking about yourself and a tool to help was to jot these thoughts down and go back to them later when the situation isn't so immediately personal and you could look at them more objectively. (Hope I've explained that ok - I know what I mean!!!) So, anyway, that's what I'm trying to do. Not get bogged down thinking about it too much, but just get on with it and do it. Pick myself up and start again... It's up to me after all.
I read something on another forum that I've copied below. I don't know if it's by someone famous or by the guy who wrote the post, but it is motivational so I don't suppose anyone will mind me copying it down here. Thanks to whoever it was anyway!!

"Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"

PS Good news is that hubby got his bike today, boy it looks swish! Bad news is he's hurt his big toe (swollen, black and blue and **** sore.) Good grief!
