Day Three - Dance it Out

My goodness this makes me giggle.  Trying to learn the moves takes a while and as I try to do this it just makes me laugh.  I am definitely warm afterwards but don't feel like i have worked out physically.

HOWEVER - I do feel energised and happy.  There's a lot to be said for that alone.
The main thing is how still and inflexible I have become.  This is due to the illness I suddenly developed called Polymyalgia Rhumatica two years ago.

It was very frightening and I would have classified myself as disabled at first.  It as eventually diagnosed and steroids had an immediate impact.

However putting on wieght is a side effect and the illness has made me very immobile.  I have the dose down to 4.5ml though starting this week from 15ml.

Logging Miles on a Bike

I found this interesting site.  I joined up but of course have nothing to add just yet!

Anyone can join  and I have.  When I cycle I just type in the number of miles and we all have a running record.

Day One

Forty Two Pounds
That's my aim. To loose forty two pounds.

I have been gradually putting on weight.  Feeling uglier and uglier.  Trying, trying, trying.  But not really getting anywhere.

Have got  my self some help.  I notice much more that I eat occasionally because I am hungry but very often I am not hungry at all.

I have noticed I may be:-

• a little bit bored
• a little bit lonely
• a little bit low
• excited
• celebrating something small I have achieved
• celebrating completing a chore
• a little bit worried
• a little bit frustrated
• needing a little break
• needing a little reward
• offered food
• encouraged to eat

I will add to this list over time.......

The word "little" is often in there.  I had heard of emotional eating but did not class myself as an emotional eater.  However I can see that my emotions do not have to be BIG to make me want food.

Want food, think about it, anticipate it.

Find it very, very difficult to resist.  Am I addicted?  It feels at the very least an ingrained habit.  A track that goes in once direction and I try to get off but end up staying on.

The track is a road to unhappiness and poor health.

It is likely to shorten my life.  I want to take a new junction.  I need to really.
